@tomosman 2024: build the thing 2026: build an agent to build the thing

@OA_paperclips hm, but if you are going for only performance improvements, there should at least be an equivalent representation? But I can totally see how it would be tricky.

@linusbehrbohm If I understand you correctly: there often is no migration possible. Think like, migrating the weights of a neural net to a different architecture.

There are some pretty obvious ways to improve the Fluoddity algorithm's elegance and performance. But any significant change means my library of settings+ 'rule weights' becomes meaningless and I have to start off in the parameter wilderness again. I've grown attached

@fatfabfeminist @codetaur not the question but whatever, lol. Neither could you

@codetaur well first it’s both things together l, second, you could not do this

there are some things that are only impressive because they came from two human hands

@_kelindi video games are the peak category of software.. simulating a different kind of reality

every software engineer is just someone who wanted to make video games and quietly gave up on that dream

@jaivin wrote an entire frontend suite with Dioxus github.com/mankinskin/mem…

react in rust, is this cursed

@m6502 Windows 7 is the true goat

More like this.

How do you know your agent is still running after you close the lid? I became a bit obsessed with putting some RGB LEDs for a status indicator into the SD Card slot on my MacBook Pro. I never use that slot, so it's a perfect place.

@codetaur Cool! I always wanted to do something like this

audio reactivity tests with ASCII fluid sim. going to take a lot of work to tune emitters and parameters so it actually looks good.

@badlogicgames Because it is written in Rust. Legitimately.

wow, someone should by the uv folks, it makes python bearable.

@francoisfleuret I think he means "only engineers matter"

IMO a researcher studies a problem that may not be solvable, while an engineer solves a problem that is considered solvable.

@alistairmcleay it was cool! Now it isn't anymore

I kinda miss the days when being into AI was nerdy and uncool

We asked people at RustWeek to describe Rust in 3 words. Here's what they said 🦀 👇

@bluperman949 @oxcrowx this is not great. nobody ever had a problem with an unused variable.

@oxcrowx I like how every "insult" against Zig just describes why it's great.

@0x45o feels bad but good for you

is boredom good or bad

@jeremiahrogers @naval end of shame = no activity is shameful

@naval Not sure any technology can simultaneously bring the end of shameful activities and the end of shame.

Ubiquitous, streaming cameras will bring the end of privacy, petty crime, police brutality, and eventually, shame.

@naval a revolution would end it first

@jasonkneen why not infinite world tile generation? and strategy components?

New Voxel Tower coming, waterfalls off the sides of the island, and material improvements!

@Bencera cool.. i can see that

@linusbehrbohm it sends you a recap email every morning.

Polsia just raised $30M at a $250M valuation. Approaching $10M annual run rate. One Founder + AI. Zero employees. Polsia runs companies autonomously. It also ran its own fundraising. I just showed up for signatures.

@txgermanbre google?

I need wedding planners that do this full time in Europe. 🫠 where do I find those
