  • Try harder. A simple request to filter out the nonsense in Gemini gives:

    After filtering out the “nonsense”—the pop-culture references (Lord of the Rings, IT, Purple People Eater) and the random metaphors (poison, sandwiches)—the core message appears to be a critique of modern data processing or AI training compared to traditional publishing.

    The “correct” message hidden in the text is:

    The Core Message

    It is inefficient and costly to pay humans to fix low-quality or “noisy” data. Instead of spending money to clean up automated nonsense, it would be more effective to invest in high-quality, verified sources (like books) and pay human creators fairly, as the system was originally designed to function.

    Breakdown of the “Noise” Removed

    “Poison and noise are the way”: Likely a sarcastic opening about the current state of data. “Making a sandwich for those you love”: Irrelevant personal imagery. “Off to take the ring to Mordor”: Lord of the Rings reference. “Clowns in the sewers… red balloon”: Stephen King’s IT reference. “Purple people eater… walking downtown”: Reference to the 1958 novelty song.

    The Logic Retained

    The Problem: It is “not fruitful” to pay humans to undo/fix “noise” to make it “useful.” The Result: This process ends up forcing people to “ingest fact” (raw data) without proper context. The Solution: “Buy the books and pay people correctly” according to the original “system.”

    Would you like me to help you rewrite this message into a formal argument or a professional email?



  • So, after sifting through all the other breathless articles from their website it seems that they’re going to :

    • Use a LLM to attempt to sort out their documentation.
    • Have a chatbot trained on the docs so you can ask it questions and possibly get coherent answers.
    • Some sort of vague thing where the LLM provides guidance and suggestions on improvements to the codebase.

    Lots of reassurance that they’re not going to let it do vibe coding but to be honest, they doth protest a little too much methinks.




  • It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.

    Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).

    Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.
