@bender@twtxt.net Yes. I think as a fancy autocomplete “tool” it’s not too shabby. Beyond that I’m not convinced it saves you time at all.

Wow! 😮 He seems to be digging himself into a hole there right? 🤣

Over the past few days I’ve been playing around with the latest Chat-GPT, I think the model is called o1-preview. I’ve used it for various tasks from writing documentation, specs, shell scripts, to code (in Go).

The result? Well I can certainly say the model(s) are much better than they used to be, but maybe that isn’t so much the models per se, but the sheer processing power at OpenAI’s data centers? 🤔

But here’s the kicker though… If anyone ever for a moment ever think that these “AI” things are intelligent, or that the marketing and hype is ever remotely close to trying to convince of us this “AGI” (Artificial General Intelligence) or ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), you are sorely mistaken.

Chat-GPT and basically and any other technology based on Generative-AI (Gen-AI), these pre-trained transformers that use adversarial neural networks and insanely multi-dimensional vector databases to model all sorts of things from human language, programming languages all the way to visual and audible art are (wait for it):

Incredibly stupid! 🤦‍♂️

They are effectively quite useless for anything but:

• Reproducing patterns (albieit badly)
  
• Search and Retrieval (in a way that “seems” to be natural)
  

And that’s about it.

Used as a tool, they’re kind of okay, but I wouldn’t use Chat-GPT or CoPilot. I’d stick with something more like Codeium if you want a bit of a fancier “auto complete”. Otherwise, just forget about the whole thing honestly. It doesn’t even really save you time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ooof 😢

It’s all about the r gage meant ya see 😅

@bender Nope not at all. base64 just encodes more bits

Build what makes you happy. Let miserable people build the rest

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think the proposal should be as simple as this:

• Update the Twt Hash extension.
  
• Increase its truncation from 7 to 12
  

@xuu@txt.sour.is is right about quite a few things, and I’d love it if he wrote up the dynamic hash size proposal, but I’m inclined to just increase the length in the first place mostly because my own client yarnd doesn’t even store the full hashes in the first place 🤦‍♂️ (I thinnk)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Good point.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I guess @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s point is there isn’t one that is available as standard on OpenBSD? 😅

e.g:

$ printf "%s\t%s\t%s" "https://example.com/twtxt.txt" "2024-09-29T13:30:00Z" "Hello World!" | sha256sum | awk '{ print $1 }' | xxd -r -p | base64 | head -c 12

@bender I’m inclined to agree. @xuu@txt.sour.is needs a bit of convincing maybe? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Curious, is our goal to have readily available tools on every possible system? 🤔

@bender To be fair it really isn’t sha256sum vs. b2sum. Neither is more complicated than the other.

@bender So it should be possible to install man pages in one’s home directory👌

@bender Yea but what about non-root?

@bender Hmmm 🤔 Where do you put man pages outside of the contest of a package manager? 🤔

@bender Not sure. It might be a slight variant. I’ll find out 🙃

@bender Oh I hope that is true 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de sorry to hear about your personal things going on. 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think that matters a great deal. I think you should publish your client anyway because I think the direction that will end up taking will hopefully be one that we collectively agree on. 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de is that the only system is not available on? Are there alternative packages for OpenBSD?

If we stuck with Blake2b for Twt Hash(es); what do we think we need to reasonably go to in bit length/size?

e.g: (turns out @xuu@txt.sour.is is right about Blak2b being easy/simple too!):

$ printf "%s\t%s\t%s" "https://example.com/twtxt.txt" "2024-09-29T13:30:00Z" "Hello World!" | b2sum -l 32 -t | awk '{ print $1 }'

I am told through various sources that Iran decided last night to attack Israel with over 200 missile strikes in response to Israel attacking Lebanon. 🤔

@bender sorry wat?! 🤣
