after fedora announced that ai contributions are cool, this is really refreshing

The lost art of testing your websites.

i run with javascript disabled by default, and it’s actually refreshing when a website at least displays “this shit requires javascript lol” instead of just not working

the modern web sucks, let’s all train ravens like asoiaf

it’s democratic if i couldn’t do it yesterday but i can do it today, even though it’s not the same in any meaningful way

edit: in all seriousness, it’s disgusting the way they are pretending there is some noble intention behind any of this.

thank you for the suggestion, this is good stuff.

oh fuck, i didn’t think of that! thank you for the idea 💖

i’m trying to sell mine now

but also i don’t have any other computers and probably can’t afford anything

time for me to learn to use a pencil

it sounds like you’ve only used the llm with the anus logo

have you tried this other llm^[1]?

“blask” slaps idc what anyone says

this comment:

Unless you’ve only ever used ChatGPT, you will know that LLM-produced code is not the result of a single prompt, not even a conversation, but rather a workflow that often goes as such:

• Discuss a problem with the LLM. The LLM autonomously reads large parts of the repository you’re working in, during the discussion.
• Ask it to write a plan. Edit the plan. Ask it about the edited plan. Edit it some more.
• Repeatedly restart the LLM, asking it to code different parts of the plan. Debug the results. Write some code yourself. Create, rebase, or otherwise play around with the repository; keep multiple branches of potential code.
• Go back and edit the original plan, now that you know what might work. Port some unit tests back in time, sometimes.
• Repeat until done.

is so stupid

this is cool, but honestly, after the red hat/fedora announcement that they’ll allow slop contributions, i may just try and use my phone for everything

android 16 QPR1 gets a proper desktop mode and it should get ported to grapheneos soon enough

this is just copium, of course. thank you for sharing the link to the mnt reform. <3

just once i want to buy a computery thing and not have it end up being fasctech

i was so excited about this laptop 😭

The number one and number two most cited living scientists across all fields think scenarios like this are not only possible but likely to happen. And the average AI researcher thinks there is a 16% chance of AI causing human extinction.

assigning a number to it makes it scientific

i don’t think it’s fair to assume that a billionaire who dresses up like a bat to extra-legally fight crime necessarily engages in shenanigans when donating a satellite to his vigilante friends

this reminds me of that episode of justice league unlimited where the superheroes are all on a satellite and batman says getting it built was just

a line item in the Wayne Industries R&D budget

though, to be fair, that explanation is more plausible than starcloud working

the poster is referring to the function f(z) = z^2 + 1

Watched a debate between Emily M. Bender and Sébastien Bubeck — an OpenAI researcher — from March. As usual, Dr. Bender fucking rules. Bubeck struck me as an idiot and kind of an ass.

It’s worth noting that, unlike a real function, a complex function that is differentiable in a neighborhood is infinitely differentiable in that neighborhood. An informal intuition behind this: in the reals, for a limit to exist, the left and right limit must agree. In C, the limit from every direction must agree. Thus, a limit existing in C is “stronger” than it existing in R.

Edit: wikipedia pages on holomorphism and analyticity (did I spell this right) are good

Appreciate both responses. Thank you.

Before today I didn’t know the difference between a compositor and desktop environment and I thought Wayland was fine. Now Abra and I are very close.

I guess there’s sway? none of these options entice me to be honest

I used to use Sway. I found it tedious to configure several different things via config files. Kanshi in case you plug in a monitor, Waybar, Swaylock^[1], etc. And, I may be misremembering, but you had to edit the Sway config to launch these programs at startup. There was just friction everywhere.

I have been daily-driving COSMIC for about six months and it works pretty well, although there are infrequent crashes (less so since the beta release, I think). I like it as my tiling WM, but also occasional crashes don’t affect my workflow too badly.

Wayland protocols are an almost ideal way to create intentional incompatibilities and network effects.

Would you be willing to elaborate or follow up on this? I checked out the core protocol but think I’m way too out of my depth to relate it to what you wrote.

What’s unintuitive about creating text files config.yaml and input.toml in $DESKTOP_STANDARD_INCONSISTENTLY_FOLLOWED which hopefully resolves to /home/username/.config/ but probably resolves to /usr/bin/go_fuck_yourself_with_1s_and_0s and then editing the text files according to confusingly documented syntax?
