We're standing on the shoulders of many creative heroes; some technically brilliant, some better described as visionaries and designers. They all played a role in getting us this far. No one is forcing you to admire Steve Jobs.

If you think prisons turn criminals into law abiding individuals, or that that's even their purpose, you've got some more figuring out to do before teaching.

Nor a viable solution to the problem.

Wind in a vacuum, that's interesting.

There they go, making the same stupid mistakes as most other ORMs out there; by 1:1-mapping structs to tables as well as inventing their own SQL-dialect.

This one is anything but small.

Or stand together and demand the madness stops, rather than pretend there's nothing to do about it; which could actually help improve the situation. The people involved in making these decisions deserve to be locked up for life, and I&

Does it look like they are even trying to solve the problem? Perhaps they're more waiting for the public to beg for permanent military presence. Create a problem for the solution you're looking to implement. I have no idea about C

But this is how you learn, how you find better ways, by grinding. Getting wild ideas badly implemented on a silver plate is a slot machine, it leads nowhere but in circles.

Careful with the productivity claims, there's plenty of research showing that perspective is usually a distortion of some kind. Which makes sense, you have someone at your shoulder constantly reassuring you and bubbling ideas; I can se

Obviously, but that doesn't tell us shit where consciousness comes from.

And you're enough of an expert on all subjects to judge? Or are you rather shielding from whatever makes you think?

Nobody is a pretty strong claim. Human bodies are different in many ways.

No one ever claimed that auras weren't natural, just frequencies that most people can't see. Everything vibrates, even physical matter, we've just agreed to experience some frequencies differently.

This is such a weird way to navigate life. Joe Rogan has interviewed plenty of people, different people that have very little in common, just because some of them have controversial views that make you nervous that doesn't mean all the

We don't seem to be able to find it inside the physical brain, and not for a lack of trying. Just throwing emergent behaviour out there changes nothing, just like it doesn't for AI.

Are you though? Or is the LLM the target of your tinkering and lack of understanding? Honest question.

Yeah, I'm very wary about putting all my eggs in Microsoft's basket after what I've seen. They have a pretty extensive history of encouraging everyone to get on the wagon only to drive it straight into the nearest ditch. You

Tried Blazor, but found it too complicated and heavy for my needs. I've had more success with Phoenix/LiveView.

Depends, once you get a crumble or a speck of dust in the keyboard there aren't that many options. The whole thing is fragile as hell; macbooks don't get dents, they turn into dust on impact, just like iphones.

I still mourn the timeline where we got a real Lisp in the browser instead of the current abomination.
112.
by codr7 1y ago
Yeah, I get it. It's not a free lunch though, remove all friction and no learning takes place, which means finding better ways isn't happening much.

I think Forth is well worth learning just for the mind expansion. It also makes a nice starting point for building your own interpreters / designing your own languages.

So, let's say you inspire someone just by existing, these things happen.

Except I have, several times, with gopd results. So in this case you're wrong. General purpose is a different can of worms compared to solving a specific case.

Not if I'm also the producer.
117.
by codr7 1y ago
Yeah, but as long as I'm not releasing in public, I don't need to support 20 different ways of parsing. That's the thing with reinventing wheels, a wheel that fits every possible vehicle and runs well in any possible terrain

JSON parser libraries in general is a black hole of suffering imo. They're either written with a different use case in mind, or a complex mess of abstractions; often both. It's not a very difficult problem to solve if you only wri

At that point it seems to me that they become a distraction, a filter between you and the software you're building. Surely it must be easier to tell the computer directly what to do then to route the entire design through that mess?

Right, and where, if I may ask, are all those business applications that write themselves? Because all I see is a clown party, massive wasted resources and disruption to society because of your lies.
