I sure am glad we automated creativity! Now we have more time to... uh.... hmm...

Hey - wasn't life supposed to be about creativity?

Almost everything positive about LLMs you see today is based on extremely unreliable evidence, much of it from some of the most dishonest people you’ll find in tech (cryptocoiners, effective altruists, etc.)

Given that these models are obscenely power-hungry during a global climate crisis it’s my opinion that integrating these tools into your daily work is inherently unethical and irresponsible

Also this is probably the reason I dislike JSON for configuration as I cannot add comments.
Browsing old git commits sometimes helps to find out reasons for dependencies but I also want to understand the same for the tree.

Every dependency in addition to the base framework you might use is a cost and it adds up.
So I would love to see the „cost“ of a dependency before even installing it. Several times I added one and removed it again after seeing what it came with.

Looking for #minecraft #mcpe developers, builders and designers who want to help making a fun and original gamemode for a server (any kind you like)

Not a paid job, so no deadlines of course, and you get full creative freedom and I will work along with you and develop your ideas

I would ideally like to end up with something that feels quite polished like a featured server game

I really want to love #golang but the lack of null safety and lack of runtime errors in relation to closed channels really ruins it for me.

I otherwise love its type system and general style, but when I write go I seem to have an endless amount of debugging to do afterward to fix deadlocks and null references.

ATTN ALL musicians and music lovers! 💛🎸
I’m part of UMAW, a collective working to unionize musicians for fair pay, tour stability, sex & gender equality, + more.
We just made headway w/ the Living Wage For Musicians Act, sponsored by reps Rashida Tlaib and Bowman that’ll get artists fair streaming royalties!
If you believe that musicians deserve a living wage, please read and sign the petition here: https://shorturl.at/auL23 and share.

#rust Devs, what features do you think rust should borrow from other languages?

For me, it's implicit interfaces similar to how #golang does it.

My favorite song right now, it's so heavy and the chorus just comes as a breath of fresh air.

Single level #programming languages have been on my mind since I watched the #epicgames presentation for their programming language verse, used in #fortnite creative maps. I'm pretty excited to try it in a real project.

What makes it so special is that types are functions that check if a compile-time value fits its constraints. These functions can also be called at runtime to validate a runtime value.

The talk is super interesting, give it a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5prkKOIilJg

My experience of type-level #typescript so far on this project was surprisingly really really good. Once I got the hang of it, it was super simple to use, aside from the fact that arithmetic wasn't supported.

I ended up counting open brackets using 'true[]'s because I didn't need to go into negatives. Although I do think it's possible to implement an integer type with relative ease.

The bottom line is that Typescript types are essentially a single-level purely functional programming language.
