Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would prefer "abstract New York no. 41715" to anything remotely connected to furries.

And that's fine, people have different tastes, there's nothing wrong with it.

Maybe. But if Claude is fine with my prompts while Codex uses them as an excuse to burn tokens. I have nothing against the model, they are more or less on pair, it’s just that Claude is giving me more value for same money.

I really would like to see OpenAI’s focus on efficiency but everytime I use Codex, it wastes tokens like there’s no tomorrow, hitting week limit in a day, where I’m able to use Claude just fine. Maybe it’s based on the codebase, I don’t know, but I have better results with Claude than Codex.

I wanted to use tangled but my repo is SHA256 and you sadly don’t support it. I know SHA256 is not very usual but anyway, do you plan to support it?

As I understand it, free enterprise is regulated environment to prevent monopolies, capitalism is unregulated which results in monopolies and kills free enterprise.

Communism is when it does whole lot of shitty stuff.

Next you'll want the term "Artificial Intelligence" reserved for actual artificial intelligence.

By human? I don't doubt that.

While I agree that "good" art "sits just outside of what we expect", I must play devil's advocate here and say that the uncanny valley of CGI/AI/... also "sits just outside of what we expect".

So there must be more to it.

Oh, Absent Friends by Divine Comedy. What a beautiful record!

What if I don't `evict`? How different is it from forgetting to `free`?

If your trip to desert is worth polluting whole low orbit and high atmosphere is debatable. Same goes for hypothetical business there. Maybe building towers would be a better idea in long term.

cool visuals but the result is totally random

*every = some of them

Is there some study to explain why? Do they feel more safer pretending to be human sized...furry animal?

thank you, captain obvious

I always love to see Rebol and Red mentioned anywhere, as I spent more than half of my life with these languages, working with them and working on them.

Recently I started working on [Recoil](https://recoil.rblk.eu/) which is inspired by Rebol/Red but targets static memory-safe compiled niche to complement dynamic interpreted nature of Rebol. It’s still in very early phase but it already has some very nice features (at least I consider them very nice) like fully compiler owned `parse`, finite state machine and (lazy) finite state transducer datatypes.

Oh, and built-in Rebol-like scripting language that can run on (not only) ESP32 called F00.

It’s still work in progress but I like it. Maybe someone else can find it interesting too.

No, even Rebol2 can build 64 bit but the whole compiler needs to be rewritten to produce 64 bit binaries. It’s not limitation but deliberate choice made when 32 bit was still major target. It may seem silly in the hindsight. But it made sense then.

No. I'm really not fan of Python but you're not going to parse JSON at assembler level. You need to choose right level of indirection for each task. And LLMs are good at more than Python and Rust. I'm using LLMs to write programs in my own language that is compiled by a very fringe language and it happily does everything from scripting on ESP32 to audio plugins and 3D gfx on desktop.

SpaceX is successfully building reusable rockets. BTC can process few transactions every ten or so minutes at enormous price.

I think SpaceX is definitely overpriced but saying that BTC is more sane is completely delusional.

By looking at my face you agree with EULA take explicitly says "don't look at my face"

They would end up extremely bored very soon.

Then vote for politicians who do.

20% of auto-reported crashes. So it's not like Linux users were writing more tickets but the game crashing on Linux more (because of gfx drivers).

I want better Topaz. My favourite font.

I moved to Codeberg and self hosted Forgejo. I'm happy.

How much creativity do you need to fix bugs in corporate code? Almost zero. It’s maintenance, not creative work. Nothing against it, it’s needed, but let’s be real, would anybody be really sad if this work is overtaken by LLMs? I certainly won’t be, let them do it.

It's not like you can't write "update this for next round of forced obsolescence " to Claude. Yes, it's unnecessary burden but solvable.

> "For the last 15 months or so my hobby has been shouting at Claude"

How can you shout at Claude when it’s

1) foobaring, bamblabooing and fghrtawing all the time without telling you what’s going on

2) when it finally interacts, it’s asking for a permission you told it 30 seconds ago "yes and do not ever ask me again until heat death of the Universe"

3) and after all of that, it just spits out: "you’re out of tokens, give up your liver or wait until next Trump’s war"

Not my experience. I tried to install on an old Asus Eee and everything worked on first try.

There's a web browser (Web Positive) that works good enough given the available resources on this machine.

The system itself runs very nicely on this hardware. I tried to install Linux there first but I wasn't able to find any 32 but distro with GUI that would fit on 4GB eMMC.

Now I have a neat small machine that supports what I need from it and I'm thinking of putting it on some more powerful HW.
