But where is the cachet in that? I want people to know I'm better than they are.

I preferred the AI 4 out of 5 times. That's a little confronting. And judging by the amount of cope in the comments section, others found it the same. I guess it is a small test, but I think it successfully makes it's point.

Are you sure this is AI? Normally when I read AI written stuff I zone out because it can go entire paragraphs without saying anything. The sentences here seem short and to the point. Their previous posts published before ChatGPT seem simila

I don't particularly care if vibe coding and the like are used for web apps and mobile apps. The quality there has always been poor and gets worse over time. AI slopware is just the new low and in a few years time I'm sure they wi

I only just learned about SunCable. I think using our vast swathes of empty, sun-drenched land to provide power to our Southeast Asian allies is a great idea.

Lots of workshops, factories, university research labs, etc. still use old machinery that would be a huge waste of money to replace just because the computer that controls it runs Windows 95. In some cases it can't be replaced because

PUC Lua is supposedly a bit of a pain for ffi, but I havent tried it myself. Luajit is some kind of crazy magic. You can (almost) just copy and paste the c header file into the ffi.cdef function and then start using c functions as if they w

Maybe you don't read much, but it's obvious they weren't making some universal statement about code. They are referring to the code you write when you are just experimenting by yourself, for yourself. The point is to not let

Wonderful site. How are they sneaking in the auto-playing music? Firefox even displays a little icon saying audio is being blocked.

I have IBS. Sometimes the consistency is like mud/tar. It's completely impossible to get clean without moisture. After a trip to Japan, I swore that if I ever manage to own my own home, I will install a Japanese toilet. I started

PowerShell is sort of two languages, and it looks weird because they are often used together. But if you see them separate first, there isn't much there that is surprising. I do somewhat share your concern about it being built on dotne

Something similar was done for the 1996 game Creatures . A part of the diorama still survives and is on display at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge ( https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/42694/C

I really like their ideas, and I love that they follow through with actual implementation. Given the restrictions on the VM, like 64K of memory, are they going to have issues with more complex written languages like Japanese or Arabic?

Cool! LSL is such an interesting language. Having an explicit state with entry and exit functions is quite unique I think, and seems like it could be useful outside of SL. Given that scripts are isolated and communicate via messaging over c

I have some "pattern glare" issues. I find monospace fonts harder to read because it shimmers and glows. It happens with proportional fonts as well, just not as bad.

In the Creatures artificial life / virtual pet series, the creatures have about 900 (maybe more in later versions) or so neurons. Each neuron is a little virtual machine that is designed in such a way that programs remain valid even
