I'm really pleased with how this game is turning out, and @wavedash looks like a really promising platform.
It's based on a flash game I built a long time ago.

@solarise_webdev I left my HP elitebook on a shelf for a year, now it has to be plugged in to work. 🥲

@antoniosarosi No, it has been ab$tract€d, which isn't quite as good.

Before C, someone writing assembly would say "hand-writing" assembly is fun.
Before Java someone would say manually allocating memory in C is fun.
Just accept that coding has been abstracted and it will not come back, the minimum building block now is architecture components.

I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL. Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?

Either this is a very small planet or that's a huge centipede. New GLSL shader.

Elon Musk was asked by a room full of Stanford students what single trait separates people who change the world from people who don't. Everyone expected him to say intelligence. Or work ethic. Or vision.
He said pain tolerance.
The room wasn't sure if he was joking. He wasn't. He explained that intelligence is common. Ambition is common. Even good ideas are relatively common. What is genuinely rare is the ability to absorb punishment day after day, year after year, and keep building anyway.
He said most people he's met who are smarter than him quit after the first real failure. Not because they weren't talented. Because the pain of failure exceeded their tolerance for it. They found something easier and redirected their intelligence there.
He said the entire history of SpaceX is just a story about absorbing explosions, literally and financially, and refusing to interpret them as signals to stop.
Nobody writes that on a motivational poster. Nobody puts "pain tolerance" on their LinkedIn profile. But it's the actual filter. Not who can dream the biggest. Who can bleed the longest.

@thenoumenon @baileymeyers Really? Weird...

@SamaHoole Milk is designed to be consumed raw.
From your mums titty, when you are young.
English
Buyer: I'll take a gallon of the raw milk.
Seller: Can't sell it for you to drink. State law.
Buyer: Right. So what can you sell it to me for?
Seller: Pets.
Buyer: I haven't got a pet.
Seller: You can still buy the pet milk.
Buyer: The same milk.
Seller: The exact same milk. Just says 'not for human consumption' on the label.
Buyer: And what happens to it after I've bought it?
Seller: Legally? No idea. None of my business. You're a grown adult buying milk for your pet.
Buyer: And this is the law protecting me.
Seller: This is the law protecting you.
Buyer: From milk.
Seller: From milk.
Buyer: That I'm now walking out of the door with.
Seller: Enjoy your pet.

@awesomekling I enjoy being able to. It's subtle but there's a difference.

Feels like “I actually enjoy writing code by hand” is about to become the big 2026 virtue signal for programmers.

@LinkedInLunat1c I used to take an hour out to walk and buy lunch, bring it back and eat at my desk while working.
I figured that would make everybody happy.

@GamewithDave Elite Dangerous.
That game requires a serious time investment and $10M would really help me get into it.

@disconcision @TheBalkanHacker @CFDevelop I'm very interested to see how hazel.org continues to develop. The various interactions you can introduce to make fiddling with code easier are a lot of fun, and IMO very unexplored territory right now.
English
@disconcision @TheBalkanHacker @CFDevelop I wanted to use codemirror originally as I felt monaco would be bloated MS crap.
But monaco was simpler to import and set up, and so far has really proved itself in terms of features, configurability and stuff just working like a regular code editor.
English
@disconcision @CFDevelop
If you're interested, this is what it looks like now.
Writing a GLSL mandelbrot set without a keyboard. This is all done with JS+monaco+AST parser.
English
@disconcision @TheBalkanHacker @CFDevelop You do have the luxury of being involved with the language design itself, which seems to be built for this kind of interface (holes/incompleteness) whereas I'm having to add exceptions/fillers to an existing language to keep the AST/compiler happy.
English
@cotterzz @TheBalkanHacker @CFDevelop codemirror (eg the decorations API) is also really good for these kinds of things these days. neither felt quite there years ago when i started writing the above from-scratch IDE, but ill admit im probably sunk-costing it at this point
English
@TheBalkanHacker @disconcision @CFDevelop It actually took about 10 minutes, this is sped up☺️
No LLM involved here.
Though sledit does have a separate AI assist mode if you bring your own api key, so you can switch between this mode, AI assist, vim and emacs bindings and regular monaco editing mode.
English
@cotterzz @disconcision @CFDevelop Lmao why does this look like so much of fun 🤣 ... is there llm completion involved here at all or are you just very fast at picking from the dropdowns ?

@iamtripdee @AlexanderKalian "...we start cherrypicking distinct subtypes of cancer one by one."
That's how it's done already.
A physician would know this.
English
The need to prove safety and efficacy remains absolute. What I am suggesting is that the traditional model of how we generate that evidence is changing, and will continue to change.
We can already test drug effects on organoids and organ on a chip systems. Earlier this year the FDA took steps to accepting these as significant and valid evidence.
Take current technology, the ability to create an organoid from a persons brain. If you can demonstrate safety and efficacy on a patient's tissue this gives us a level of evidence that a traditional population trial cannot.
So while your original post is accurate within the current framework, the framework is shifting. The other aspect worth considering is a general trend towards differentiating subtypes of pathology. For example causes of cardiomyopathy, previously a broad category is slowly being redefined into specific pathologies with specific therapies. As data, testing, drug production improves hyper specific therapies will continue to be developed. So while curing cancer is a great headline, the reality maybe that we start cherrypicking distinct subtypes of cancer one by one.
English
You really can't make this up.
Yesterday, I accused tech circles of overconfidence about AI in biology - e.g. blurting "AI will cure cancer in 5 years!" - without understanding clinical trials or basic pharmacology.
The result? A mass of comments from tech bros downplaying the need for clinical trials!
They basically doubled down on their overconfidence about a field they have not seriously studied or researched.
Well, bad news, guys - biology is not code. It is highly complex, high-noise, high-failure, R&D-heavy for wet labs, and full of painful unknowns and edge cases. Your Python skills and vibe coding don't give you insight into the nuances of drug development.
Thank goodness these people are not in charge of any serious biomedical research programs.
Many of them even advocate going straight from AI discovery to human trial, without the years of slow, expensive preclinical studies on mice.
Well, ~100 million mice die each year, for these studies. Most are euthanised for analysis of their tissues, but a substantial subset directly die as a result of candidate drugs being toxic.
Millions of people would literally perish every year, instead, if these overconfident tech X guys were to be in charge.
Dr Alexander D. Kalian@AlexanderKalian
"AI will cure cancer within 5 years!" Ahem - clinical trials? "AI will reverse ageing within 7 years!" Cool - clinical trials?! "AI will be able to design and immediately synthesise a new drug for you, based on your DNA." Haha sure - clinical trials??! Guess the tech bros have decided that decade-long clinical trials are no longer important to AI drug discovery or wider pharmacology. But it seems to come from a place of ignorance about basic pharmacology. Do they not read up on basic facts, before confidently commenting on other peoples' fields of research?

@antirez I'm 49 and I concur.
You really do stop giving a shit about things that would have destroyed you 20 years ago.
English
One good things of being old (I'm 49 right now) is that when people attack you personally, or your ideas, you no longer care in any negative way. Not because of lack of interest, but because you are more interested improving your ideas seeking some truth, than anything else.
