Me furiously taking post-apocalyptic worldbuilding notes from your comment 🫨🫨🫨

Me, imitating the pose of a thoughtful looking person I saw in a magazine: have we tried AI the line? Like make AI do the line, and me have more money? Need more money for AI implement line AI money make?

the children do not hear the canon

I thought for sure the article was pulling my leg when it got to that part

I was actually describing a piece of software, which is not considered a human being, and can in fact be treated differently without any legal or philosophical confusion

No you have to run them through an elaborate model first, then it’s totally legit to use someone else’s literal words as if they were your own

But I do like ironing. I do it so infrequently, I associate it with getting all fancied up to go out to a special event.

And everything about it is so relaxing… The sound of the water in the iron, the hiss of steam. That clean smell, rising with the hot steam. You’re forced to slow down and pay attention, if you want to get it right.

Whether you’re alone or sharing the moment with company, it’s a recipe for encoding a core memory, deep in there, pinned in place by multiple senses.

Imagine naming you iron “utopia”

I thought they were there to cover the unsightly and promiscuous buttons

Sure doesn’t.

As much as I dislike Disney as a company that does sound interesting… really actually brings up so many new possibilities to revisit the classics!

I think we all had that first moment where copilot generates a good snippet, and we were blown away. But having used it for a while now, I find most of what it suggests feels like jokes.

Like it does save some typing / time spent checking docs, but you have to be very careful to check its work.

I’ve definitely seen a lot more impressively voluminous, yet flawed pull requests, since my employer started pushing for everyone to use it.

I foresee a real reckoning of unmaintainable codebases in a couple years.

I agree with your parenthetical, but Wikipedia actually agrees on your main point: Wikipedia itself is not a source of truth.

Honestly if you’re poisoning your neighbour’s plot for something as petty as a part time view, you don’t belong in that community.

They must be so reviled. How would they even get service?

But if I stop seeing those comments then I’ll have to start making them. Easier to just vote my approval and be glad someone’s done it.

I think the fear is it stays crashed. Like a new paradigm takes over that is hard to plan for

The downfall of every one of my savings plans. At a certain point rent takes priority

Yeah a thread is more like a close conversation. If you comment in a thread you’re going to be heard front and centre. It keeps non-sequiters down and it’s good etiquette to at least acknowledge the points raised above.

Tree based is more like splintered conversations around a party, where people drift in and out of side convos. This lends itself to a more anonymous, transient communication style.

Ideal for a quick little session on your phone, really

Shootout to doomworld. I think that software is Discourse. Anyway they’ve always had a vibrant communities

Ugh too many people. My book club and local dev group are on Discord, also a few old co-workers, and then various communities like rainwave, ocremix diaspora, gamedev stuff…

I wish it was still interoperable with IRC. It’s come to really grate on me.
