I’m going to guess they’re companies without software expertise in house, so nobody to review the code anyway.

If companies continue hiring people like this, it’s only a matter of time before the exploits roll out.

Wow! I still have my Dragon Dice in a box somewhere. A few of my friends had it and we played about 4 games before we got bored. Still something nostalgic about it for me though.

I also agree about Tsuro. Great fun!

Its because of all the people saying that LLMs can reason and think and the human brain works just like an LLM and… some other ridiculous claim.

This shows some limitations on LLMs.

Check out ForgeFed which is built on ActivityPub.

Forgejo is implementing support but I don’t know how far along it is.

Emacs!

With LSPs it works for just about anything and Magit is simply too good.

He behaves like a Nazi so he’s a Nazi. And clearly calling him that is getting under his skin, so it’s working. I don’t think using a different word will have the same effect. Heck, he might even latch onto neo-feudalist thinking it’s cool or something.

Sadly I doubt many are seeing this considering how many of my neighbours still voted for PP. I’m happy to see a Liberal minority, but disgusted by how much support the cons still have.

Exactly this. My whole life I’ve been told that executives deserve their massive compensation because of all the high risk decisions they make. But if they ever get called out they take no responsibility. It’s infuriating!

I have several web services built in Rust, along with CLI tools, and a desktop GUI app. I’ve also player with a little bit of Rust in an embedded context and started on a phone app. Not many languages can boast a similar development experience across such diverse use cases, so universal doesn’t seem like much hyperbole.

Then some jerk runs rustfmt and ruins all your hard work!

Amazing! Thanks for that. I didn’t know this was actually available to play with.

Since he’s now officially part of the government this is actually censorship.

To keep everyone else in check. Just wait and see. Soon not clapping at a mandatory trump rally will be a felony.

This is why its important for us to retain the right to what Cory Doctorow calls “self-help”.

Our right to access and modify things are being stripped away and that gives the platforms even more power!

Today, if you released a tool to bring your Facebook friend list to another platform you’d get sued into oblivion.

The charlatans spinning bullshit for over 70 years is the reason we have never had anyone from “the left” in a position of power to make any meaningful change.

This must have been an inspiration for Lisp

That video!! Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We’d do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that’s what’s going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There’s a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there’s a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the “weird stuff”. I teach Tai Chi and I’m very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I’ll often mention that I don’t mean some notion of “life force” but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it’s not really a martial art, and it’s not really meditation, and it’s not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I’m happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀

I just don’t watch many shows and a lot of the stuff coming out I don’t find that great anyway so I’d rather do something else with my time than pay more for worse service.

That’s OK. I’ve already removed Netflix
