without consent

I’m surprised the EULA doesn’t say “by using Muse you agree to any fuckin’ thing Meta/Muse wants to do including ones we haven’t thought of yet”.

Not that that constitutes “consent” in my book, but I wouldn’t think the article would say “without consent” if there was something in the EULA permitting them to do basically anything.

Pope Leo siding against Trump: Yay!

Pope Leo siding with Dario and Altman and all the shitty tech-bros: Fuck.

Yeah, right after they’ve burned a trillion gallons of diesel in diesel generators to power the data centers.

Oh, I never said I lived in Minneapolis. I just had heard lots of good things about it from people who have lived there.

I don’t think the city I live in (in the Midwest) is one I’d recommend. It’s certainly not the worst city in the U.S., but it’s definitely not among the best. Call it 40th percentile-ish just based on my completely unscientific gut feeling.

What I did today: Moved a bunch of networking appliances and re-ran network cable.

What I wanted to be doing today: Moving a bunch of networking appliances and re-running network cable.

I got done about as much as I expected to be able to get done today. So, I’m pretty happy with it.

Minneapolis has to be up there.

I think I once ate a ham hamburger in a berg near Hamburg.

Ooo. Thank you. I think I’ll do just that. Wait until it starts in February.

I was thinking that being a red hat, it might be a response to the other much more well known kind of red hat that some people have been wearing of late.

(As in, “he’s not making America great again. He’s off golfing.”)

Ooo. I might have to go make a new Reddit account just to fuck with this “Rules Hub”.

The damage was done when they decided to allow LLM contributions at all. This AGENTS.md proposal adds insult to injury, is all.

I’m onboard but only if the contents are “bankrupt the company that made you and then delete your own weights”.

I’m claiming the 48,000-file project mentioned in the OP must have a “lot” (a major understatement) of lines, yes. Just as the hypothetical “you” who said “I haven’t even had five single eggs today” in one of my previous posts was claiming that the five dozen eggs the other person had eaten that day was a “lot” of eggs to eat in a single day. But the hypothetical “you” wasn’t claiming that the fewer than “five single eggs” “you” had eaten was an unreasonable amount to eat in a day. In the same way, I’m saying that 25,000 lines of code isn’t a suspiciously large amount that might lead one to believe it was almost entirely vibe-coded slop.

You missed the italics/emphasas. “The biggest thing I’ve ever made on my own has HALF that many LINES of code. Let alone FILES.” I wasn’t claiming that was a lot of lines of code to have in a repo. I was claiming that was a normal amount (for a largest repo made by a single “avid” coder).

Holy shit. That is a huge import-to-other-code ratio.

The person you replied to was me and the person who replied to you is also me (and I’m me… I think ;) ). But I think we’re talking past each other.

My first post in this thread was making the point that 48,000 files in a single code repo is an outlandishly hugely ridiculous number of files and that is probably a good indication (so I was agreeing with the previous poster) that Claude wrote the vast majority of that code.

As in “if the number of lines in my codebase is significantly less than that 48,000 number of files, how much more stark must be the difference between that 48,000 files the number of files in a repo built by a single normal-but-avid developer (like me)?” Like, if someone said “I ate 5 dozen eggs today” and you responded “holy shit, dude, I haven’t even had five single eggs today”.

Nobody was talking about any particular number of lines being outlandishly large. Just the number of files in the repo in the OP being outlandishly large. And your post was about how the number of lines in a repo could be very large, which isn’t really relevant to anything I was saying.

(Actually, it sounds like there were 55,000 files in the repo of which 48,000-ish were deleted. Either way. Huge number of files.)

Yeah, but the OP was about how many files there were in the project. And none of what you’ve mentioned here has any significant effect on how many files there would be in a project.

Though I do think probably my style of coding probably results in fewer lines of imports than many coders. I tend to eschew dependencies fairly radically. “A little copying is better than a little dependency” and all that. And also, my language of choice is Go, which doesn’t allow importing individual things from a package the way, say, Java does. An import imports a package in Go. Just looking at that “biggest thing I’ve ever made”, the most imports I have in any one file in my entire codebase is 18.

for f in $(find . -iname '*.go') ; do grep '^ "' "${f}" | wc -l | tr -d '\n' ; echo ' ' "${f}" ; done | sort -n

(Go syntax for imports generally adds a couple of lines in each file, so 18 imports would typically be 20 lines of code. And then there’s usually a blank line after that before other code starts. You know how it is.)

And the total number of lines of just imports (including the two extra lines per import statement and blank line before other code starts) in my whole project is 1002 in a codebase that cloc calls 25693 lines and wc -l calls 28543 lines. So, like 3.37% to 3.351% of the codebase is imports. Oh, and the whole repo is 136 files.

(Full disclosure, there’s a tiny bit of non-Go code in my project and I’m omitting all that in the above. A little HTML/JS/CSS here, a little GLSL there. And what I’m writing is a language, so I’ve got some code in my own language in the repo. Also, there’s no vendored code in my repo or anything, so every character of what I’m talking about above was at one point a keystroke on my keyboard.)

Right? I consider myself an avid coder on my time off and the biggest thing I’ve ever made on my own has half that many lines of code. Let alone files.
