YouTube just randomly served me a talk about 'spatial programming' by @TodePond@mas.to . Can highly recommend you go watch it. I would put the talk on the same level as Doug Engelbart's Mother of all Demos. Seriously, prepare to have your mind blown.
If AI is as great as they tell us, where are all the cool apps created with vibe coding? Where are the galleries filled by AI art? Where are the novels written by LLMs?
But alas, capitalism.
Could we please stop treating ‘X says Y’ as news? Neither Twitter nor Truth Social represent reality in any shape or form.
Are you a bioinformatician that knows their constructors from their lambdas? Want to work on algorithm development? The Dragen team at #Illumina is looking for individuals with C++, NGS and statistics knowledge. Come and work on the best variant caller on the market.
An offspring of an elf and a human is known as a half-elf. What is the name for a child of a halfling and a human?
Misheard 'new telescope' as 'Nutellascope'. Now there's an idea for a magic item.
Mounting a borg repository from a ext4 drive on a macos via fuse. The fact that this even works is kinda bonkers. It's also proof of the fact that when you get better at something, computers for instance, that something doesn't get easier, the problems get harder.
What if we had a programming language where you wouldn't have a type like `int` and instead would always have to give it a unit? miles(int), meters(int), seconds(unsigned int), filedescriptor(int), numHouses(usize).
Booted up an old phone of mine. It had Twitterific on it. Good old times.
All the people that claim #obsidian is the best thing since sliced bread have never used a good editor, or had proper bread for that matter.
Coffee, tea, cola all fine, but nothing quite hits like a cold Club Mate on a hot day.

Sometimes printf is the answer. #programming
TIL: spiders recycle their nets. They eat nets to reuse the protein for a new attempt.
Today I’ve heard some Brit’s eat their pasta with gravy. Guess you have to live on an island to come up with that.
Über welchen ethisch vertretbaren Kanal kann man denn am besten die Känguru-Werke hören/runterladen?
I never cared about the half-full half-empty debate until my phone fell into the toilet.
I don’t understand the logic of ‘data centers in space’. Computers produce heat, lots of it. The only efficient way of cooling computers is moving the heat elsewhere. However, in space there is no elsewhere to move heat to. Requiring on radiation alone for cooling will greatly limit the performance of the chips.
This hs the smell of a massive distraction. Someone wants to collect and burn venture capital. Hyperloop all over again.
