@viticci I think I have an answer, too: programming languages provide the highly-enforced structure and sanity-checking that LLMs need to excel. It's like the (defunct) left brain vs right brain idea — one side for creativity, one side for logic. A dreamer, and a thinker. Together, it keeps concepts well enough in check to create some amazing things.

I think we don't (yet) have that for prose, or music. But I could see it being possible, if we invent and teach the right abstraction layers

@chockenberry really enjoying Tapestry! Are there plans for per connector mutes or a way to combine the same post across connectors? For example if I follow Kottke or MacStories on Mastodon, BlueSky, and blog I see every post multiple times. Being able to mute them on one service or combine into a single post would be awesome!

Used @halide to get some amazing pics of the eclipse on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Took RAW+HEIC in hopes of one day knowing enough to maybe edit the RAW into a better photo.

@kottke And a local story about the impact it is having on girls and volleyball players there: https://huskerextra.com/news/volleyball/amie-just-volleyball-day-nebraska/article_6e370a00-4769-11ee-a488-5b6d535f9861.html

@kottke thought this might interest you. University of Nebraska's college women's volleyball set the world record for attendance at a women's sporting event last night: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/08/30/nebraska-volleyball-attendance/

Nebraska volleyball goes for women’s sporting event attendance record

The Nebraska volleyball team tried to break the all-time attendance record for a women’s sporting event with a volleyball game in a football stadium.

Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:

Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.

Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.

@gruber re:Windows ARM on Mac, I've been using Windows 11 and it works really well. My main reason was nostalgia to play Half Life or Unreal. I can play the old x86 (32bit) HL at 1920x1080 very smoothly on a M1 Mac Mini. On top of the obvious Parallels virtualization, Windows is doing its own built in x86->ARM emulation. I can even play remotely on my iPhone via Steam Link. Which means Steam in Windows is also streaming the game back over wifi. Granted 20 year old game and all that, but still.

I don't post much but here's an #introduction:
By day I'm a #DotNet developer at a great, but small, software company in Texas primarily in the public safety industry.
At home I'm all #Apple all the time and spend most of my time with family. Hobbies are reading, #StarWars, #StarTrek, sci-fi in general, #PokemonGo, and Nebraska #Husker football.
My only hobby coding at this point is a super-niche homebridge plug-in to integrate Daikin smart thermostats with Apple's HomeKit.
