I feel like I can tell immediately and that feels even more scary

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

Before I realized it, "written in Rust" has become kind of stamp of quality. It of course isn't that everything written in Rust is automatically good, but when I'm evaluating some alternatives, more often than not I end up choosing something that is written in Rust. Just an observation

Gleam code with the domain models for the solution, formatted as documentation and the logic formatted so it's is column aligned like a table

Gleam code with the domain models for the solution, formatted as documentation and the logic formatted so it's is column aligned like a table

I think I found the best example for custom code formatting.
This is from #adventOfCode 2016day2. The task is to match a crane going in cardinal direction over a grid of buttons, without going out of bounds

Two cases here, one is like docs and the other is aligned by columns so it acts as a table

Second day of #gleaming and this might be the functional language I would suggest to experienced developers wanting to learn functional. There is a certain charm and beauty to its simplicity and the defaults seems naturally discoverable, making #gleam truly a friendly language 😊

I am on a vacation so instead of resting I decided to try to do some old #adventofcode (2015) in a new language #gleam

I have to say it is quite enjoyable! Coming from #fsharp it is a bit like a more defensive version of what I know, but I do enjoy the simplified nature of the syntax. Well done

For now my neovim C# adventures end with... installing dance for VS Code, let's see how long I'll stick with it :)

I did manage to get C# in neovim working, but I'm just feeling like the setup is too fragile for everyday work

Thank you, I will certainly try it

After trying to "vibe code" C# neovim config I feel like Atom Eve creating a playground on the spot is the perfect metaphor.

Spoilers: She did create it, but the playground eventually collapsed

I think it is already happening with formats like Toon?

For PL I think the optimisation will be for better results not tokens IMO. And python/typescript will gain more and more, as they will just get better without doing anything, because of snowball effect.

Gemini 3 still fails all my turing tests, but it's the first one that I find gives me real value as an assistant

Oh I currently have K2 and looking for something different, never tried low profile mechanical, but was thinking about Nuphy Air v3 or Keychron K2 HE

I have to be honest after hearing folks rave about Super Mario Galaxy, I had very high expactations and I'm pretty dissapointed with it. It was probably superb game 18 years ago when it launched, but the switch port didn't age well in my opinion.
Is the sequel better?

Ouch, he can't even properly read the data he is linking. Or worse he can and is deliberately manipulating

My AI specific domain knowledge test (that is easily searchable and verifiable by anyone using google in like 2 minutes) is still failing with major hallucation by all AI, except Claude who told me to google it, which is not bad, but not helpful either.

Baffles me that people go to AI for info

Sprinkle valley was much better, because it was way easier to get any forward progress (throw long and go throw there).

Imagine a "hole" where you have to throw through a path of 20 mwith 25 cm width available to you. You can still make an argument for "git gud", but sudenly it becomes sad really fast. Challenges should be fair and reflect what you can normally see in disc golf, not some artificial untested rules

It is okay for a dgpt event, but not world championship. It's about the level of punishment for small mistakes, integrity of the rules and fairness of choosing a world champion. With Buncr rule it was better, with double stroke on OB and not being able to retrieve your disc it's just bad design
