@wilbowma i ported the first half of your nbe 4 ways to idris, which i think makes it much easier to see what's going on. the rest may follow, but i'm having difficulty porting the metacircular interpreter and i'm giving up for now.

Surprise! If it didn't work, then they wouldn't have to put such huge resources into trying to ban trans healthcare

Greetings from Servo! I have to say, this recent 0.4 release is significantly better than the last one I tried (which I think was 0.2). Far more websites are working and stability appears to be significantly improved. A ways to go, yet, but all very promising.

Oh I'm kinda guilty of this too. Unintentional gender euphoria?

On a more serious note, if you do the "60 messages in the morning thing", what the hell do you talk about?

(Serious question, I've had a friend advise me to take more initiative in social interactions, and I have zero clue how to go about doing that)

@kofanchen

The grant agency and the applicants themselves can also run the LLMs; wouldn't need us reviewers to do so. What's more, it's possible that the applicants have fine-tuned their proposal in response to feedback from an LLM. So we reviewers would add nothing (or worse, as explained) by running LLMs on the proposal.

As long as we're bashing RFK Jr here, I should I've been really enjoying the new podcast "Good Science", where my old boss Anthony Atamaniuk does a pitch-perfect impression of the guy as he attempts a podcast with an idiot from the Austin comedy manosphere (expertly played by Gil Ozeri).

If you've ever seen Anthony's Trump, (he's been calling in to the new Infowars!) you know how dark and no-holds-barred that impression goes, and the same is true here. It's cathartic and hilarious.

The danger however comes when we confuse his title for his expertise. "Secretary of Health Kennedy says ___" gives the air of legitimacy. Far better to say "Heroin addict Kennedy", "Man who eats road kill and has a brain worm", "Harvard drug dealer" or even "Nuzzi's ex boyfriend".

YouTube shorts has always been a bit shit but all of a sudden the quality of the recs/algorithm has dropped like a rock. Filled with bullshit videos like “AI” narration over a social media screenshot.

That's not to disparage Strudel! It is a great platform and I would probably not be doing this composition without it. But it definitely has strengths and weaknesses

brib@bribstodon.xyz ("brib :neofox_floof:​ :Nonbinary:") wrote:

I'm finding that there is enough space between "thinking up a great riff" and transcribing it into Strudel properly that I often forget it 😭 .

Another thing I can perhaps do is learn LMMS or similar which tends to be better at musical sequences (Strudel is very loop-based)

This is the other thing I've been working on, but it definitely has more clashes than I like

• audio: an attempt at electronic happy-sounding music in a very major key. there are some clashing notes and it sounds a bit generic

I should start practising my guitar more often, Strudel is not so great for rock/pop

this is almost as bad as code that doesn't handle errors at all so it can be smaller. yes, it's smaller. and a pain to rewrite properly.

goddamnit, when i say "things should be executable code", i didn't mean code that relies on coincidences that just so happen to always correspond.

Reading about the financial structure and layoffs at companies like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix%5FTechnologies are so charming compared to today's bizarro financializations and investor-appeasing layoffs.
