So Huggingface released The Stack V3, nearly 16TB of open source code used to train LLMs. There's actually a page you can go to and see if your GitHub repos are incorporated. https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceCode/in-the-stack

@robhawkes Gotcha, so it's in part down to that classic libertarian mindset of "We'll do it ourselves" which isn't as popular here for classic reasons.

@robhawkes I saw a recent article about the cancellation (or pause) of the Stargate datacenter. I think that mentioned something about relatively poor infrastructure as one of the reasons. Is your point related?

@runevision In terms of The Big Forest, are we going to be able to walk down roads carving their way along your eroded mountains?

@jamesking@fedi.science-practice.com Oh yes, that was amazing! My mind was really blown when there was discussion of the similarity between Escher and Smith Charts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

@runevision Aah, I didn't realise there was level design happening in TBF. For some reason I had assumed it was all seed based

@danny@mastodon.spesh.com Hey not sure if you're aware but `curl -I https://oblomovka.com/` doesn't generate a redirect, there's some kind of error. There's quite a few places your blog is linked with no www prefix, so it looks like your whole site's down.

@jamesking@fedi.science-practice.com that’s a wild ride. Also I don’t listen to dithering so for a second I thought it was one of those synthetic podcasts because of all the talking over each other

@beng@mastodon.social Love that! Could the run button have a background colour by default? It almost looks like it's unavailable until you mouse over it

@beng@mastodon.social Gotcha. How about encoding the program into a chunky fragment or query parameter?

@beng@mastodon.social I there was some basic RLE-like compression you could ensure it wasn't too long

@beng@mastodon.social I think if you're keen on the nostalgia of it, then bifurcate the project. Maintain the traditional UI, but also make an alternate where there are more modern affordances?
