No it isn't. I have plans to meet people I originally connected with on Bluesky in person. I have received physical mail from people on the other side of the world that I connected with on Bluesky. I connected a person I met on their w

I have an awesome circle of people on Bluesky that I'm connected with that very much care about each others feelings. I'm sure that's not universal on there, but the corner that I'm in on there has probably been my most

I would guess it's been around 1-2 years since you last tried seriously using a language model for any practical use cases, right? It makes sense to not use them if that is your experience, but it's hard to imagine anyone saying t

No one reads only one book on a subject? People act on mere headlines all the time. Reading one whole book would be a huge win over the status quo > The risks of hallucination with LLMs' responses outweighs the advantage of multiple

That sounds like a similar failure rate for using newer models in technical contexts. Especially for popular technologies where there are enough resources such that someone other than the original creators could reasonably write a book abou

Cool ideas. Some other tools that may be useful are hour/minute difference calculator, in addition to the date difference calculator. Timezone conversation may also be good. Some additional feedback I have is that scrolling on the site

Really? I did a quick grep in ghostty (160k lines of Zig) and found four total references to @fieldParentPtr. I'm still a Zig baby, but I have not seen very many references to @fieldParentPtr at all.

By "broken" you mean it doesn't use the latest and greatest hot trend, right? Or does it literally not work?

(if (<= 0 (+ x m) n) ...) There is one additional set of parentheses due to the simple addition, which I already mentioned.

If you learn better by video than by reading, the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs lectures by Abelson and Sussman are spectacular. I have watched the entire course multiple times. The SICP book also receives a lot of prais

Ok, let's compare looping for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { printf("%d\n", i); } vs (loop for i from 0 below 5 do (format t "~A~%" i)) C has the same number of parentheses and

Zig definitely encourages an imperative style by design, but it does support function pointers, which can be used to implement a map function. I do think passing the field name of the node as a comptime []const u8 as an extra argument to ma

Cool read! I have been getting my toes wet with the idea of explicit allocators in Zig. I haven't done anything with Odin yet, but it's cool to see that explicit allocators with off-the-shelf standard library implementations is ma

It's obvious to anyone who is familiar with both. (f x y) vs f(x, y); Note the extra comma and semicolon. The only place this breaks down is for simple arithmetic expressions like (+ a b) vs a + b, which is trivial

I haven't really touched my emacs config in years. I just set it up how I wanted and now I use it to pay my bills. It sounds like the flexibility was just too tempting for you to not hack on it when you should be doing other things.

I think the "playing dumb" is jarring due to the obvious disregard for consent. It's really gross.

For what it's worth, locally runnable language models are becoming exceptionally capable these days, so if you assume you will have some computer to do computing, it seems reasonable to assume that it will enable you to do some languag
