So happy for Tarn and Zach. DF is a truly special game, and I'm happy that they've been able to secure both theirs and DF's future. I wish an easier Mac release was available, but I'll keep checking.

I did this last week. I asked ChatGPT to write a short article, and then used Eleven’s “Josh” voice to read it. I had to adjust the punctuation to get it to sound more natural, but it was surprisingly good. Way better than the AI voices I h

Technically, all sauces survived Italy’s war on pasta. More accurately, this sauce was the result.

Interesting. When I was a child, we lived in an old cottage with single-glazed windows and no central heating. In winter, we often had frost patterns of sycamore leaves on the windows. We had sycamore trees in the field across from the hous

That must be his original pamphlet unless the metadata is wrong. My copy is much longer. I appreciate the irony of ordering it from Amazon, but do your local bookshop a favour and order it from them.

For anyone who wants to read a small bookshop owner’s take on Amazon’s “transformation” of business, I can highly recommend “How to resist Amazon and why” by Danny Caine.

Interesting, I tried it on the sample code at https://obfuscator.io , which was just: function hi() { console.log("Hello World!"); } hi(); ChatGPT was unable to deobfuscate. Here's the answer

In Ireland, physical mail in some prisons was stopped during the pandemic. People were soaking the paper in "spice", sending the letter in, and then the prisoners smoking it to get high. As a result, the censors started just givin

This is a pity. I really like the Gitpod environment. So soon after securing $25m in funding too.

This post reminds me of Samuel Butler's novel, Erewhon. "Assume for the sake of argument that conscious beings have existed for some twenty million years: see what strides machines have made in the last thousand! May not the world

According to Alex's own tweet, ChatGPT originally produced the obfuscated code too. In my head, this is like asking someone to translate "Hello" into French and then asking them to translate "Bonjour" back to Englis

https://twitter.com/AlexAlexandrius/status/16178852870484254... So, all I've learned is that ChatGPT knows the obfuscated and de-obfuscated versions of code that it itself has generated.

I think that very much depends on the establshment. I'm from the EU and the server chased me down in the car park in upstate NY because I didn't tip.

As the other commenter mentions, tactile signing is the most common. There can be differences between that and the normal sign language used in the country. When I've communicated with deafblind individuals using tactile signing, I hav

It still sounds odd to my ears, but that's because I usually hear "they" as a plural pronoun. For example, I was watching a TV show with two siblings, one used "they/them" pronouns. When the mother said "I

Yes, the use of "hip hip hip hoorah" (with three "hips") in English predates the Hep Hep riots. Most etymologies attributed to acronyms for words pre-20th century are usually false.

Everyone’s experience is different I guess. I started on Sinclair BASIC, which had no functions (apart from a mathematical DEF FN). The limitations of the language in terms of maximum complexity and speed prompted me to learn Z80 machine la

100% well deserved. I'm disappointed that there's no Mac release yet, but I'm sure it will come. As soon as it does, I'll be switching from the Patreon brigade to paid-for on Steam. I love Dwarf Fortress, and I'm de

The "it just works" argument is what keeps me using an iPhone, even though my computers and servers all run Linux. Years ago, I replaced my trusty Nokia 6310 with an O2 XDA phone. It ran Windows CE, routinely crashed or froze and
