[14:03:53] + aloo_shu > the cool kids' club

[14:03:58] + aloo_shu where's that?

[14:04:24] + aloo_shu asking for a cool friend

[17:03:07] aloo_shu do they know that they don't know what they are doing?

[17:03:09] aloo_shu it's the one thingh they need to understand: "I'm not on top of this", full stop

[17:04:49] aloo_shu what is 'parents' in 2026? you go make a buck & pay the bills, kids learn from everybody except you

[17:19:02] aloo_shu whiteboards don't screech and you can sniff dissolvents with some pens at least

[17:22:37] aloo_shu because brain = very good pooter if you don't fill it with junk

[17:22:39] aloo_shu re: why 3 systems

[17:22:41] aloo_shu "because I can"

[17:22:43] aloo_shu japanese can, maybe you can't. cuz no discipline, or discipline with too much effort/force and for the wrong things

[17:27:55] aloo_shu I won't learn japanese writing, I guess, no reason right now, but I find myself looking for a different balance of automating and doing (incl. learning) myself, I [like to] consider the personal learning added value, it can make for a leaner & more efficient man-machine interaction than all things predictive & intuitive. I appreciate if my learning reward isn't getting

[17:27:57] aloo_shu 'obsoleted' by some narrowminded novelty dev

[17:33:21] aloo_shu <@norex> wot? LLMs have their place, but they certainly aren't replacing humans any time soon.

[17:33:22] aloo_shu plot twist, humans!=humans, you can have your brain wired in many different ways, and a lot of people indeed function the way LLMs function, have been successful for the same dumb reasons that are making LLMs popular, and become substitutable, others grow up on a logic > language paradigm, yet others link up with an immediate living environment and don't feel very different from

[17:33:24] aloo_shu brother deer and sister spruce tree

[17:39:16] aloo_shu like, TBH? I find it vastly more productive to come from the basic assumption that most of my behaviour, likely more than I am aware of, can be broken down into, or sufficiently imitated by, algorithms and a dataset, and THEN try and find if there's an exception, but all the time making it hard for me and continue assuming I *can* be imitated unless I find something really

[17:39:18] aloo_shu solid. I prefer that *a lot* to flattering myself with a sense of unique-ness, then finding out the hard way that ppl think otherwise and prefer interacting with a bot

[17:41:43] aloo_shu w3schools became ass the day the html3 validator tool required javascript (random point in time subjectively chosen by your favorite shu)

[17:47:33] aloo_shu it sort of matters because that's what invisible-island (lynx) linked to in order to make the point that a standards based (as opposed to write for 3 browsers) web is possible, and that everybody can independently verify if their page will render in lynx, without ever running it or an emulator or even knowing it exists

[17:49:07] aloo_shu up to a point, you could submit html to the validator using lynx, no debt ore dependency to a language you didn't intend to use

[21:23:19] aloo_shu that's what shows the demand. was just to mention. geeks live in geeklandia, lol

[21:25:31] aloo_shu bummer, that

[21:26:23] aloo_shu teach them how to send penii to random HP printers

[21:27:09] aloo_shu argh

[21:31:09] aloo_shu tbh the biggest thing in support IMO and IME isn't structuring what you're going to say, but listening and figuring out how the other side sees the world, what definitions or ideas if any *they* are having, correctly or incorrectly, with the terms they are using, so you can pick them up where they are and find an efficient route to speaking the same language

[21:35:07] aloo_shu * CLANK *

[21:35:19] aloo_shu * CLONK *

[21:35:57] aloo_shu * CLANK CLANK *

[21:36:15] aloo_shu * CLATTER *

[21:42:03] aloo_shu ...

[21:43:26] aloo_shu more aggressively keyboard-squatting cats need to be bred
