Large Clodsire Language Model burning through GPU cycles to produce text like "clod clod clod clodsiiiiiiree" and "reported." and C++ code

@vaporeon_ mentioning LLM is bad enough, but then you said i'd write C++ code. fucking reported.

@wallhackio Are you implying that you don't write C++ code? :psyduck:
Then why do you know the C++ spec?

@vaporeon_ I write C++ unwillingly in the pursuit of Understanding because I WILL fuck around and I WILL find out

@vaporeon_ even more specifically, I had to write C++ as an undergrad in college for my physics research and when reading something that the creator of the language (Rene Brun) wrote, they mentioned you could iterate over some data using a construct like the following:

for (TList&& thing: listOfThings) { /* use the thing /* }

and then Brun was like "if you're not familiar with the double ampersand syntax, its a relatively new language feature called an rvalue reference" and I was like "the fuck is an rvalue reference"

So then I started reading and then eventually got to this web page: en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/lang

and my poor undergraduate mind was just like o______________________________________o so I gave up on it.

But it lingered in my mind for years later as a Thing That I Could Not Understand. It ate away at me. I tried again later in grad school, only to go o______________________________________o again. Maybe this was simply beyond me.

Flash forward a couple more years and now I'm a software engineer. Then they made me do C++ for work. I'm like, "I'm more familiar with software these days maybe finally I'll undestand it" so I researched it again only to go o____________________________________o once again.

But no, this cannot be! I WILL do it!! I WILL FIND OUT!!!! So i kept at it for months afterwards and he we are.

@wallhackio > /* use the thing /*

Reported :clodsire_angy: :clodsire_angy: :clodsire_angy:

(In case you missed it: there's /* at the end of that line instaed of */, so the comment never gets closed...)

@vaporeon_ yeah i reported @aescling and @Lady daily for it but they still haven't fixed it

@aescling @vaporeon_ @Lady I know we can do it technically, I specifically am asking you to add it to our frontend.

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @aescling @Lady you probably don’t even tweak the mainline’s code for this much

@wallhackio @Satsuma @vaporeon_ @Lady well it’s my blind spot in this codebase so i wouldn’t be able to help you very much

definitely not an image of clodsire holding a gun 

@aescling @Satsuma @vaporeon_ @Lady figure it out and help me.
