Show HN: ABC Classic 100 Rankings visualised
This weekend is the ABC Classic FM countdown, which prompted me to dust off an old un-published data visualisation of rankings from previous years.
Iāve considered adding a search function, but I also kind of like that it requires a bit of exploration in the current form.
Some of the code is a bit clunky and I wouldnāt mind refactoring it. Iām also not sure about browser compatibility - Iāve only got access to a couple of devices to test it on.

@prologic@twtxt.net (I hope Iām not too incoherent. I didnāt sleep very well recently and have a lot of unrelated stuff on my mind. š¤£)
@bender@twtxt.net So yeah, no, I do not have an inner monologue at all. Most of the time my inner mind is busy just replaying music or visuals (or at least it used to before I lost my sight, these days it just replays visuals and sounds), but there is never a time when I ātalk to myselfā, ever, I donāt ever think through something, a problem or an activity and have self-arguments. I just do.
@bender@twtxt.net Fine, Let me answer properly and concretely š
Would you want your children not to learn anything, because āthey have AIā?
No, children still need to learn. That will never change. What they learn however will over time.
Are you OK with your children using the AI for all of their homework?
Yes, frankly I am. Why? Because much of what we teach them in school is utterly pointless.
For example, learning to read Shakespear never taught me anything useful in my life. I regret much of my school years to be honest.
I leanred to read and write, sure. But I learned Math, Science, Computing and how things work on my own by being very curious.
What sense will it make?
That assumes I answered ānoā, which I did not. So it all makes perfect sense :D
What kind of future would that bring for them?
This assumes I said āYesā, which I did :D It will be an itneresting future thatās for sure. I donāt think we can just bury our heads in teh sand and pretend itās all going to go away, It will not. It will make things very interesting for sure, as weāre already starting to see whatās possible and whatās changeing. For example; ordinary people are using these LLM(s) to write their legal suit and defense in courts with varying levels of success.
Even if AI were to become omniscient, what will it be of the human race then?
Iām not convinced it ever will. In fact, I am not convinced we know how to create true intellience at all.
What would we do?
What would be so different from say an Alien invasion from far superious beings?
What would we do that? Band together and defend humanity?
Serve the AI? Maintain the AI?
That assumes that āAIā will become intelligent and omniscient, which I donāt believe it ever will.
Would we have found the true meaning of life then?
If the meaning of life is to create our own sub-species liken to ourselves, sure, maybe. But is that even a reality? not sure, I doubt it. We barely understand ourselves at the best of times, let alone how our minds works.
To care for AI, Is that it?
How would this be different to caring for a friend, a family member If we could ever truly reate an actual sentient being with real feelings and intelligenace, is there any reason to worry? Could we not be freinds and have mutual goals and form relationships?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I really like your style of writing, btw. Itās much calmer and less aggressive then mine. :-) When I turned my bullet points into paragraphs, I got a bit mad in the process.
Sure, feel free to include anything you want. Regarding citing, this is where twtxt falls short in my opinion. Especially with feed rotation, classic links die quickly. Message hashes only help so much. Nobody outside the twtxt universe knows how to deal with them. So, not perfect for inclusion on a web page. Linking to a thread or message on some yarnd instance might be the more user-friendly option. But the disadvantage is that itās ājustā a mirror, not the primary or original source. In all reality, this could be considered splitting hairs, though.
I should have probably written a proper article. That would have given me time to review the result more carefully, too. ;-) Perhaps thatās something for the future. But honestly, Iām not sure if I really want to waste my time and energy on that subject. So many other fun or useless things come to mind right away that I could do instead. 8-)
So, yeah, do whatever feels best to you. I donāt mind being cited or linked, but I also donāt mind not to be cited or not to be linked to. :-D Not a helpful answer, I know. Sorry. ;-) But anyway, thanks for asking, mate! I do appreciate it.
To finish my thought, linking to my frontpage is probably also useless, since I deliberatly do not have a table of contents there. In fact, my entire frontpage is rather silly.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, Iāve also seen the floating point conversion happening with (1 << 63) - 1 yesterday night. But instead of pausing to think about it for a second, somehow all I had in mind was āgive me a better representation, aināt gonna have time for this shitā, so I turned it to hex. Beyond my comprehension what I was thinking there. O_o Thatās embarrassing, unbelievable. Well, I blame late oāclock where my brain had already quit on me and went to bed.
Very interesting data point you raise there. The fun part didnāt cross my mind yet or at least I couldnāt pinpoint it. In hindsight itās totally obvious, though. Past experience also tells me the exact same. Dealing with a problem and researching something myself is a so much more better teacher. The longer I faced up with a topic, the higher the chance to really manifest in long- or at least mid-term memory. If I just get told something, the odds are that itās completely erased from memory in a matter of days if not hours.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thatās crazy! If you donāt mind me asking, what browser are you using when you see this?
