  • <To the tune of “House of the Rising Sun”, by the Animals. A poem for your sprog.>

    There is… A bot… With GPT…

    THEY CALL a “rising sun”…

    AND IT’S BEEN… The ruin… Of many a project…

    And god… I know… Mine’s one.

    MY MOTHER WAS a coder…

    She used three Emacs themes… (“It’s for my workflow, son”)

    But my father liked that AI gen…

    When he made all his memes.

    Now the only things a vibe coder needs…

    Are an ENTER KEY and a thumb…

    And the ONLY time he is satisfied…

    Is when his code’s a dump.

    I’ve got one eye on the chatlog…

    The other eye on my commits…

    I’m going back to spaghetti code,

    So you can’t tell where it’s shit.

    So momma, tell your children…

    NOT TO DO… What I… Have done…

    Spending your life in sin and misery,

    Praying to the 0 and 1.



  • As someone who was raised in a rather racist in-group, I can say that it took a really long time to purposefilly unlearn the automatic gut responses my father ingrained into me. I would, for several years, think or say something without considering it, and immediately realize what I had just said. Actions and attitudes are often automatic, especially when taught for a long time. I can certainly see where the uncle’s coming from, because I’d imagine that the only reason I’ve been able to mostly get through it is because I got away from that situation when I went to college, rather than later in life.


  • It does not.

    I could be wrong, but I’m fairly sure that, while ‘f’ is a function, ‘f(x)’ is the function’s output, not the function itself. So f(x) is a meme (as.long as x is a meme), because function f’s output is a meme. The function itself is a mathematical operation, not its output.

    f and F are not memes, but functions which output memes.



  • One of your precepts is flawed. f is not a meme any more than the word “all” is a meme in “all your base are belong to us”. f is defined by text within the overall meme, but while it is part of the meme, it is not the meme itself, as it lacks the context of the remainder of the meme. Your precept is like saying “9 is prime, because it is the prime number ‘19’”.

    9 is not prime. It is part of the representation of the number 19.

    f is not the meme. It is part of the context which defines the meme.
