I was incredibly naive back in the day. I remember thinking how cool it was to be able to hear from all these amazing people all around the world. (Although I was incredibly shy and mostly lurked. (Still true.)) I totally did not foresee how the internet would also enable the worst elements to reach out to find us... Alas...
All you amazing people are still amazing, though. So thanks for that.

it is of course a single threaded green thread scheduler. it's atomic free for local green threads to wake each other, it's wait free for remote threads to wake local threads and it tries to mitigate the kernel picking the worst possible time to swap the remote threads wanting to wake out by finding something else to do. oh yeah and the local queue can be pushed at both ends giving you effectively two service classes.
why? because if a green thread would otherwise get stuck in a spin loop, it can just request a little break cheaply instead of spinning and we can process something else.
reasoning here is that spin loops often happen because something got swapped out by the kernel at an inappropriate time. you see this in rust futures a lot. this way green threads (our analogue of futures tasks) can just request some time out to process something else if it passes a threshold.

Something I keep on thinking about is, if this mass deskilling is happening, how to preserve the knowledge (both tacit and explicit) so we can keep the computers running as the digital asbestos suffocates everything. Wikis documenting good practices, books, tuition, that sort of thing. Is it a worthwhile goal? Is it a useful one? Can I do that while raising money for rent? Do I have that knowledge or am I thoughtlessly guessing as much as the next sloperator? So many questions, so few answers

After my degree there I (for some definition of I, I think there are different people with different ambitions in this system so we will need to work to compromise on this) kinda want to go back to working in tech if they ever let me in.
Once upon a time I was almost universally praised for my dev skills! I am not sure which is worse, being placed on a pedestal or being shoved off it

The most upsetting thing about LLMs is I still very much like working with tech but it feels like the LLM mania really occludes the joy. I'm wondering if I'm being left behind (because I am a social animal who unfortunately gets FOMO), I'm side-eyeing projects to figure out if it's slop and if I want to tolerate that slop, and it feels like there's far less genuine progress in software dev because of all the LLM nonsense (partly it's taking up literally all the oxygen and I suspect there's a bunch of deskilling happening right now)
I take refuge that there seems to be far less of that mania in gamedev, it's much easier to find resources that aren't (obviously) slop or about AI, for example I just watched a video exploring Slay the Spire 2's decompiled codebase

When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.
It's a test about how you treat other people, whether you respect their dignity. And you failed.

Antwiki is one of the oldest and best resources for learning about and ID’ing ants online. It’s called a “wiki” but for a long time they have not added new members, there is no way to join, no way to contact anyone at the site.
There are some errors on the site, mostly due to out of date sources and no one to contact. Maybe they just got overwhelmed.
I also worry about their server fees. Do they have the support they need?
Anyone know anyone from the site?
