What is the Trump programming language?
trump-lang is a totally stable genius programming language made for developers who don't like to wait, think twice, or read error messages. Designed with rapid decision-making, alternative logic, and absolutely no regard for international standards — it's the only language endorsed by billionaires who don't code.1 -
The client in the agreement asks us to be very strict about what we do, i.e. only do what's in the ticket description, the way it's detailed in the ticket description, otherwise we won't get paid.
okay..
Ticket description: "Perform database configuration analysis". We had a call where the client elaborated on what's expected from us (a full-blown DB configuration and security analysis). All good.
Ticket description: ChatGPT-generated, with all the unicode emoticons et al, bullet-pointing us what's expected. Basically, database auditing configuration analysis.
My guess is they never reviewed what ChatGPT wrote. And the service agreement is very clear and strict -- only do what's in the description. So yeah, 2 days worth of effort and I guess the result is not what they wanted, but definitely what they asked for (w/o them even bothering to read what they're asking...).
IDK, it feels like the GPT is making people too optimistic, too lazy.4 -
it's harder to tell between AI and people now... because people are just speaking like AI now wtf

RESONATES
I think people are losing their damned mind. Weird fucking cadence. Short sentences. Why can't it be all one thought? So here's the thing that makes me want to scream. This isn't an AI problem, this is a people problem.19 -
I made an autonomous Ai cli application.. AGAIN. But I think I have the end game now. It is very basic and has only file access and a simple web search function. The web search endpoint is made by me and it searches and returns the result plus the content of the found urls. Fine. But it can do one more thing: it can prompt itself and that allows recursion. Oke, it can do another thing: create native functions for itself with an execution type: prompt, bash, python. Preferably, it converts the function to create in python because that is of course the fastest. The python script generating procedure includes the api of the cli itself giving it AI power an all the functions that the agent normally can call. The end result: as efficient possible extremely complex procedures enjoying its own feedback loop. It never ends until completion and it autonomously resolves all issues it faces.
Well, I told it to search online for a deep research algorithm and to execute that with my given prompt when I explicitly ask for it by creating a native function. Then, I told it to read the DevPlace api and create native functions of the whole api and I told my credentials. Now I have an application that can research everything about horse cocks and place the result on devplace. It did it all. Perfectly.
This is written in Nim and it stores it's native functions for Ai in an sqlite db. But actually, did you know you can add whatever you want to the end of an ELF application? I could append the native function descriptions at the end of a clone of itself and you have a statically compiled agent for specific use cases. For example, a web app builder with predifened preferences and source examples and such that will have guaranteed nice results. The accuracy of this cli is amazing and almost every action passes at once giving it unlimited power for very cheap. Thanks to great orchistration it works with lesser models to achieve great results. I invented a golden hammer. Only losers use claude for automation (looking at you openclaw loser). The art is getting as much possible out of cheaper models so you can actually relax using your tools.
It is crazy how much iterations of learning moments it costs to get to this amazing flow. I am one hundred percent sure that it will make the claude agent bite to dust. It already humiliated GLM with opencode several times. The art is to find balance in hardcoded functionality and AI.
Now working on a platform that can build sites without issues way better than manus (Never forget!!!) and deep research at perplecity level. The last one is kind of hard to validate. With this platform you can ask it to research a subject and to create a beautiful responsive seo site out of it using fastapi, jinja etc. It can basically deploy any type of project and publish it to an url OR sub domain. But that last part will be refactored to only compose using projects to be more stable. How more I narrow it down to specific technologies, the better result. It patches compose files to use Unix sockets that will be attached to an endpoint of my reverse proxy.
I tried to make it create nim web services as well but that's too confusing for AI because it's close to python syntax and llm's don't like that.
Can't wait until tomorrow to continue working on it, the first economic agentic platform better than manus. I can't believe that meta bought that shit. The three people talking positive about it are completely retarded. I talked to someone who wasted 5000 in a month and was positive about it. My god, if you invest 5000 in claude you would cure cancer. But what is the fun in that, not a very original idea. Does anyone know the name of the inventor of penciline? I don't fucking think so. Lassie has a bigger legacy than he has. I hope that lassie ended better than flipper and the many piglets that played babe. Also free willy ended up with a literally split personality. The propeller thing of a ship made two or more free Willie's of him. Autistic dolphin. He was on the Epstein list btw. Do orcas have a blowhole?
OK, time to sleep.7 -
Bug report reads: "The fireworks bound to the Thumbstick button can be detonated too rapidly encouraging the players to abuse the function which will lead to them prematurely wearing down their hardware. We recommend applying cooldown of three seconds to mitigate that.
Even though rapidly touching the screen to detonate the fireworks works the same way, it doesn't fall under this requirement."
...the fix came in. The solution? Detonations via touching the screen have a cooldown now, while the Thumbstick button works just as it had before. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!11 -
In the same way that you can look at tree rings and point to years when there was bad weather etc., I can look at my github contributions graph and point to sickness, death, and divorce.2

another project I can't start and instead procrastinate, wah wah wah
... actually that didn't happen with programming projects. programming is pretty fun. like solving sudokus all the time. how am I supposed to stay motivated if I'm not frustrated?!17 -
