I have a friend with a pretty cool app concept around exploring new cities. They are looking for an indie dev partner. If we’ve interacted before and this could be interesting to you, send me a message!

@RosaCtrl not related haha

But now that you mention it, I have been nudged a number of times and they haven’t always been polite…

@bigzaphod if I recall right (and I’m not sure I do), gallium arsenide based cells, which are …ahem… not particularly affordable, often provide small amounts of power even at night

@grork @kyle @jordanmorgan I suspect this will actually be possible, but what I bet is that the result will be worse in many dimensions except perhaps for the nerd cred of it being possible.

@OneSadCookie I am aware of this study and I think it’s interesting!

I’m in the strange position of being surrounded by AI (users, code, skill files) without actually using it myself.

@marchyman Normally when you see behavior like you were describing, it’s an await that is never returning. That can happen when a callback hasn’t be called, and I could believe such a thing happens with an external process involved.

@kyle @jordanmorgan I'll take this bet! I think that prediction is nonsensical (and not just because of who made it, but that certainly does hurt its credibility)

The amount of context loss for such an arrangement would be tremendous. And it would simultaneously also remove virtually all well-defined language-based guardrails. And all for what for benefit exactly?

But still not an abstraction! "delegation" is the only word I have ever see that feels satisfactory.
