okay! another minor milestone: every byte of output from the label transform is appropriately described.

next, we do the same thing with the log-load transform. in some ways this may be easier, the code it outputs is very uniform in structure.

after that's done, we still have to mess with indentation and passing through "ordinary" comments, but we don't expect either of those to be hard

Att oppositionen de senaste fyra åren ägnat sig åt att i smyg importera röster från mellanöstern är ett fascinerande koncept. Man önskar lite att journalister vågade fråga SD-pojkarna hur de tänker att det här skulle ha gått till när det var de som satt vid makten sedan förra valet.

@baldur The If Books Could Kill podcast has some great takedowns of Pinker books. Even his early work was terrible and sloppy. https://www.ifbookspod.com

I've had several bosses and former coworkers who were major Pinker fans and they all turned out to be toxic dicks. So he's useful as a red flag. See a Pinker book on the shelf: refuse that glass of water and get the hell out of Dodge before you become one of Pinker's statistics of for a "decline in violence"

Feels like Icelandic media has a clueless “AI” hype piece every single day at the moment. Their complete inability to apply any sort of criticism or scepticism to the claims is exhausting to witness.

I appreciate help but not differentiating between library, shared utility work and standalone creative work is one of the less fun copyright gradients to talk about

I'm gonna laugh so hard when they finally build their precious "superintelligent AGI" and ask it to come up with a solution to problems like climate change, poverty, healthcare, etc., and it comes back with "end capitalism."

@krig @hynek @zzzeek yup, exactly.

@glyph @hynek @zzzeek I suppose that’s true. The evidence I’ve seen is that clearly DHH has been pushing it to his influential friends. But now that I think about it, he himself was the first youtuber to hype it up so I guess that’s enough to get the ball rolling.

it is a really good thing we documented all the behavior of the magic-comment system as originally conceived. these are small additions code-wise, but conceptually they rely on that full understanding, we'd never manage to explain them if we couldn't build on that earlier work.

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

we've added magic-comment commands which directly move around the notion of the "latest output point", which up to now has been maintained implicitly. we also added commands which let us explicitly delete existing metadata entries.

There's no such thing as a browser that cares about your privacy but delivers you to the tender care of Zuck's native apps at the tap of your thumb.

@pluralistic points out regularly that native apps are just web apps wrapped in enough IP to make defending your rights illegal "felony contempt of business model", but we should note the connection too.

Browsers that don't put up huge warnings if they are sending you to a native app cannot, definitionally, protect your privacy.

Entitled users in FOSS is my goddamn trigger. People who claim to be allies but demand free work from folks who instead of spending time with their kids or partner or friends sit down and work. For no money.

"Give me more free work code monkey!" Is apparently the calling card, and when they don't get a willing servant scraping their foot calling them ma'am or sir, they feel put upon.

Stfu. If you don't contribute don't get airs you upper class snob! STFU #FOSS #linux #opensoure

“AI almost starts WWIII”. No it did not. The people stupid enough to think that LLMs can be used as a reliable source of information did that. That’s like reporting “Tarot cards almost start WWIII”. Completely irresponsible framing.

absolutely not, it is totally reasonable to want to store your children in a box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for the first 18 years of their life and expect them to become well-adjusted adults
