@movq@www.uninformativ.de So Anubis does a whole lot more than I really wanted and it’s configuration is a lot more complicated. In my setup I basicaly just do this:

		pow @needs_pow {
			difficulty 18
			ttl 168h
			secret_env POW_SECRET
		}

In one of my site blocks. And the implementation itself is pretty simple too.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That video appears to be unavailable to me :/

Got absolutely jack and sick of all the fucking useless bots, C&C and shit™ hitting my Git server tonight 🤬 So I sat down and built a lightweight version of Anubis, called caddy-pow. So now going forward, you’ll have to (sorry) have a HS-enabled browser to hit git.mills.io which will hopefully make most (if not all) bots just go the fuck away 🤦‍♂️ #Hostile #Web

Yup I see it!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very nice 👍

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Oh don’t get my wrong, I totally empathize, but yeah 👍

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Yes, but is how we want to be behaving. We don’t like something so we go out of our way to be malicious and poison things? I get it though, the hypocrisy is very real here, with burning trees, eating up water supplies, and the massive amounts of energy going into this, but still, this is petulant behaviour and I don’t think it services any useful purpose other than rage and anger.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I’m not sure this is very productive to be honest 🧐

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those are stunning 😎 I’d leave the windows dirty too — clearly the birds approve of the current state of affairs 🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com That DORA quote is 🤯 — and it perfectly explains why AI coding tools terrify me in certain contexts. Dropping Copilot into a codebase full of technical debt isn’t gonna fix the debt, it’s just gonna write more of it faster 🤣 Fred Brooks would be nodding his head right now 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Honestly I think you build the team before you need the PRs 🤔 Start with relationships — people who’ve been using your software, filing good bug reports, asking smart questions. Those are your future maintainers. The PR comes later as a formality, not a tryout 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de One at a time, until you build up trust, coherence to make them a maintainer 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I’ve been more-or-less maintaining my OSS projects this way for years hmmm 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

Same here, but my own fault

Nobody ever does 🤣

Go get ‘em! 🙌

Nice work! Threading + mentions is where it gets fun 😅 Ping me if anything in the spec is unclear 👌

That reminds me, I need to update yarnd too. I haven’t done so yet 😅 Been so bloody busy with work 🥵

Yay finally fixed some of those annoying “Mark as Read” behaviours/bugs 🐞

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, but I consider this to be a flaw in the human species. Think about it, what good does it serve? What possible reason do we have to have such traits today? Survival of the fitness? pffft 😅

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net No 🤣 I think it’s a human weakness, someone born in the genes of some 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de TLs is cheap, we built hardware encryption modules for AES-256 which TLS still uses so you’re fine 😅

@bender@twtxt.net upvoted too 👌

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Excited to see twtxt tooling in the Node ecosystem! Any plans to implement the Twtxt v2 extensions? Things like Twt Hash + Subject (proper threading), Multiline, etc. — all documented at https://twtxt.dev 👀

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com All good here 👌

Heading to bed 👋 Goodnight everyone! 💤

On the subject of debugging these so-called AI(s) / Black Boxes… the model is a black box sure, but that’s not really the problem. Everything around it — the inputs, the outputs, the decisions it makes — all of that can and should be fully logged, traced and replayed. The “program” isn’t the model, it’s the full context you feed it. That’s what you debug. It’s not so different from any other system really; if you’re running something in production with no logs, no structured outputs and no tests, you’d have the same problem. The model doesn’t change that discipline, it just makes it more important.

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de $95 🤣 So I’m down a fair bit 😳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess I’m not so lucky haha 🤣 Only won $32 AUD 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah 😅 One thing I’ve learned in my life (as I’ve had many good manegers over the years teach me as much) is:

Strong opinions, held loosely.

I have my opinions too, but I also see positives and benefits and I am optimistic that we will collectively figure out a path forward.

Bought 2 tickets 🎫 Wish me luck! 🍀

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Amen 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All good, I’m tired too. Work has been burning me out lately 🥵

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes 👍

LIke with almost everything “big-tech” has done, it’s not the tech you should not trust, but the companies themselves. For example, accessing and using the models (because let’s face it, they have clusters of much larger and more powerful GPU clusters than we could ever afford to build and own ourselves, at least for now) is fine, but trusting their end-user products/services, not so much.

It’s one of the reasons in fact I’ve been working on bob so I have a very concrete and strong foundation for how these things work, how they behave and how bad or good they can be. I am on-purpose building bob to be not only a decent coding tool and general task completion tool, but with serious security boundaries, sanitation, auditing and compliance. If I’m going to succeed at building autoonmous agents that can cope with a wider array of varying inputs (mostly natural language, some structural language) then it needs to be both a) Safe and b) Robust

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m kind of flag you bring thi sup, because you simply can’t. You wouldn’t even be able to in an atypical neural network either (which is what ehse things are anyway). The problem here really isn’t the so-called “AI” (I wish we’d stop calling it AI), but the flawed usage(s) thereof. I believe I even stated earlier in this thread that sometimes it may not do what you expect, it’s “probabilistic” not “deterministic” – those pushing for greater use need to understand this, those not happy with the “push”, should educate the ignorant here (especailly managers pushing for weak, insecure and bad uses).

And every time I ask it to do the same thing, it produces basically the same result. It will sometimes not produce a go.mod, but that’s probably because doing so isn’t as statically high as writing the code to sum numbers from stdin.

So going back to the understanding of how it generated this, is quite simply the most statistically relevant search space of it’s weights it has been trianed on and it has basically just produced a series of tokens, one after another that are relevant to the input, the next token and so on. It’s a trivial example I know, but it basically pattern matches it’s way through it’s vast search space just producing outputs based on context.

Which it does so in seconds, faster than I can type. The code is correct, it compiles and does exactly what I wanted. And the code looks pretty reasonable. It handles flotas, has error handling and handles space or line separated numbers on stdin.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think your points are pretty clear to me, that’s fine. I’m just seeing if you can perhaps see things a different way maybe?🤔 I would challenge the assertion that you cannot understand how Claude Code generated an output; which I can demonstrate easily with a fairly trivial example by the input:

Write a program in Go that sums a list of numbers from stdin and prints the result.

Most of the time, I take a very very long time to do anything. If I say, for example, “I’ll build an IRC Web Client”, that may not happen for weeks, if not months, until my sub conscience has has time to process everything. It’s like basically a “feeling” of internal readiness. I never talk through it, never actively think about it, it just happens.

You can basically think of this as pattern-matching. I’m very very good at very fast pattern matching and piecing pices of a puzzle together very quickly, sometimes with very little to go on, it’s often gotten me into a lot of trouble at work in my career because I can make a lot of assumptions very very quickly.

@bender@twtxt.net So yeah, no, I do not have an inner monologue at all. Most of the time my inner mind is busy just replaying music or visuals (or at least it used to before I lost my sight, these days it just replays visuals and sounds), but there is never a time when I “talk to myself”, ever, I don’t ever think through something, a problem or an activity and have self-arguments. I just do.
