@ChadLeistikow I think you're not giving enough credit to the ref for the fantom moving screen call. TAINTED VICTORY FOREVER!!! Did none of the girls any favors by destroying that game w one of the worst calls in college basketball history

Syd Affolter got a text from McKenna Warnock right after the game. Last year, Warnock's big offensive rebound off a Clark miss sealed the Final Four win vs. South Carolina. This year, it was Affolter's O-board that sealed the win over UConn.

@kitlangton @kitlangton - you might be able to generate the companion completely with a compiler plugin, but you will run into zinc compilation issues until the related dotty issue is fixed. You could get it down to ``` @deriveLenses case class Foo(bar:Bar) object Foo ``` With 0 issues.

🥲 I finally found a way to add macro-generated, auto-completable methods to companion objects in Scala 3. I went into more detail here: contributors.scala-lang.org/t/scala-3-macr…

Learn how to write and test a compiler plugin from scratch in Scala 3 with Xebia's Jack Viers. Watch this talk: youtu.be/UpsRLbEHmik #ScalaDays #Scala @jackcviers @XebiaFunctional

@_coagulopath_ @BenjaminDEKR @sandersted Sounds very similar to overfitting.

@BenjaminDEKR @sandersted I've heard that increased fine-tuning/RLHF is damaging the model's calibration. By making it harder for GPT-4 to give bad answers, they're making it harder to give good answers.

This is huge. Recent academic paper shows that GPT-4 lost significant capability in code skills over a few months. I love GPT-4 but it would be nice to have OpenAI address this. They've been insisting that users are "imagining it," basically.

Code Interpreter will be available to all ChatGPT Plus users over the next week. It lets ChatGPT run code, optionally with access to files you've uploaded. You can ask ChatGPT to analyze data, create charts, edit files, perform math, etc. Plus users can opt in via settings.

More coroutines from around the net. Note how easy this makes the controller code to read. #scala #coroutines bvisness.me/coroutines/

🎉 The Scala Toolkit is here! 💡 It is a big step in making Scala more accessible, lightweight and fun to use. ✨ Check out our latest blog post at scala-lang.org/blog/2023/06/2… for all the details!

@diesalbla @easondp @raulraja @XebiaFunctional @fede_fdz @rafaparadela I agree that it is a great question. In addition to examples in the SIP, and Martin's talk, writing combinators that express constructs like if/then/else in monadic contexts without introducing surprising behavior can be difficult, even for experts: github.com/typelevel/cats…

📢🎉The team at @XebiaFunctional has been working on SIP-55 for #Scala, which addresses direct-style syntax through suspended functions and continuations. Thank you @jackcviers @diesalbla @fede_fdz @rafaparadela and everyone that made it possible 🙏. github.com/scala/improvem…

Xef is brought to you by the great team at @XebiaFunctional, which I'm humbled🙏🥰 to be a part of. Cheers, and we hope you enjoy it and join us in this new Open Source adventure!

What can we say except thanks? A fantastic group of speakers, sponsors, attendees, and discussions on innovations and steps forward in Scala. We hope you had a great time and safe travels back home. We hope to see everyone in Madrid for round 2! #ScalaDays

Now, we know how to write a compiler plugin from scratch in #Scala3 from @jackcviers, and @_zainabali_ showed us that functional streams are complex but are not as murky as they seem #ScalaDays

If anyone is interested in my slides on testable compiler plugin development from @scaladays, here they are: docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Huge thanks to today's speakers at #ScalaDays Seattle. And, of course, all of our sponsors: @Signify_Tech, @ImprovingOttawa, @databricks, @ScalaSpace, @sourcegraph, @ExpediaGroup, and @XebiaFunctional. Thread time!

📢🕺🎉🥳 The @XebiaFunctional team has been working hard to bring you the first release of xef.ai . Easily integrate #AI in your #Scala and #Kotlin applications.

Catch up with Jack Viers in Seattle before he tells you all about the testable compiler for Scala 3 on June 7th. Get your tickets today! scaladays.org/seattle-2023/ #ScalaDays #Scala #Scala3 @XebiaFunctional @jackcviers

@EncodePanda Vendor lock-in breeds language popularity. Look at .Net langs (Windows), Swift/Objective-C (Apple/IOS), Kotlin (Android), PHP (WordPress), C (Unix), JavaScript (Netscape, IE). Vendors require control of the language to continue to support it to support their use cases.

Tiny reminder to all Scala folks that the reason this language became popular was due to one extremely talented and motivated individual who provided a new "x100 Hadoop" - that could run existing Hadoop/Hive code - as part of his PhD. That's it.

@codingismy11to7 If the user wants a secure debugger, they can set an environment variable or add additional jvm args that include the allowed connection, as in the workaround above. Adding a new `-jvm-debug-host` argument is a new feature, which might be more difficult to get accepted. /fin

@codingismy11to7 Allowing connections to the debugger from anywhere is the original behavior of the line I changed. This just restores that behavior. The user has to explicitly invoke the command with `-jvm-debug` to enable it. /1

sbt-native-packager Java App archetype remote debugging is broken when using `-jvm-debug <port>` in the docker entrypoint. It will start with `-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=<port>`, which will terminate the connection prematurely. /1
