Yeah, no, sorry. Too many problems with things that worked out of the box with docker. I don't have time to waste on troubleshooting yet another issue that can be solved by simply using the thing that just works. rootless is not an arg

I think we're talking past each other. You may notice that I haven't condemned DSL in general. I condemn coming up with a DSL when using GP-Language would suffice as the easier solution . And not to put too fine a point on it, bu

I disagree tbh. I mean, I accept that new silicon will have better power usage and probably be more efficient in terms of flops/Joule, but there would need to be a major technical breakthrought to get a logarithmic relationship between

Good. I'll chalk that up as one of the positive effects LLMs have on the software development environment (god knows there are few enough). DSL proliferation is a problem. I know this is not something many people care to hear, and I sy

The problem with AI isn't that it isn't useful. Its that, as an industry or business at macro level, it is OBSCENELY overvalued. Generative AI may be a 50bn business. Or a 25bn, or 75bn. What it definitely isn't, is a multi-t
