This might be a good occasion to remind you that I've mostly moved to Mastodon some time ago and you might want to follow me there 🙃 @piegames" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flausch.social/@piegames

@the_aiju Better than the Christians and their intransitive Trinity relation

aiui hinduism is “there are many gods but they are all isomorphic”

@armando1987dim @the_aiju It's not a hard rule, but I think every directory should have a reason for its existence, to justify its navigation overhead. Reasons for me would be "there are *many* subprojects", or "they share a shell.nix" or "I have to execute commands from that directory"

@armando1987dim @the_aiju Most of the time, categories are fuzzy and break down at edge cases. And people tend to make overly deep hierarchies, with only a couple of elements on each level. (Compare the Rust module system with Java's packages for example)

i’m curious if people have advice for organising computing environments. my file system always ends up as a mess of random files and it becomes difficult to find stuff eventually + difficult to do backups bc everything is intermingled so much

@the_aiju Then, have one folder per project, keep fs hierarchies flat (don't group related independent projects, except for true sub-projects), never ever reference a sibling project with .. (use submodules instead if necessary)

@piegames_de environment as in , filesystem, etc

@the_aiju Do you want to optimize for learning or optimize for fun? If it's the former, then why does it compete with video games in your brain? If it's the latter, you should like *doing* the project regardless of its outcome (which includes how much you'll learn)

the problem i have is that i can think of other projects that would involve more learning and i kinda cant decide which one i want to do :\

having doubts about the minicomputer project…its a HUGE time investment and idk some nagging voice in my head keeps telling me i’m wasting my time :\ god

@the_aiju It depends on what you want to use it for: If you want to use LLMs for automation purposes rather (which people want to do) than for personal assistance with a human in the loop, you better judge it on the worst-case scenarios.

@the_aiju Can we maybe find a framing that is both useful yet also acknowledges it as an LLM without humanizing it?

@the_aiju This is not a dril! I repeat: this is not a dril!

why is it called drilgpt and not artificial wintelligence

@the_aiju You want a client where you can configure an allow list of CWs. (Also always showing CW'd content is totally a valid option)

content warnings on fedi seem basically useless for me because people will put a content warning on literally anything so i just end up having the “always show content even when it has a content warning” setting turned on, kinda defeats the point imo

@the_aiju Dependence functor? We need a natural transformation here

the existence of codependent relationships implies the existence of contradependent relationships

@the_aiju Either the companies would become extremely stifled (tbh they already are), or CEO would become an ejection-seat position occupied by marionettes where the actual decision makers keep themselves in the background.

wonder if exposing CEOs to more liability would select for a better or worse class of CEO

@the_aiju weakly hyped lambda calculus

statically hyped vs dynamically hyped languages

@the_aiju "Emilang"? With file extension .em

reflections today are convincing me to create my own programming language. it’s gonna be so purely emily and so unhinged like you won’t believe. it’ll be so awful. but i’m going to love it so fucking much.

@the_aiju Honestly I still prefer threads over long posts even on Mastodon. I really like the idea that it is chunked and you can like/retweet/reply to individual bits instead of the whole.

like, fedi has long toots and i dont think it has any of the pathologies that twitter people are afraid of? people still mostly make short posts.

i actually like the idea of long tweets, lots of stuff that people shove into threads that might as well be a long tweet

@__alula @the_aiju @signalapp @telegram I'm sorry but it *is* a big deal even though most people don't know/care. But the real issue here is that Telegram's encrypted chats have worse UX than everything else. I'd prefer *WhatsApp* over that.

@the_aiju @signalapp @telegram the only issue with it is no E2E encryption by default, but not a big deal for most

why the hell has @signalapp gotten unusably slow lately? i'm honestly tempted to switch to another messaging app

@the_aiju You missed a prime opportunity to say "ironed out" 😞

things are going good with my gf but there are still some kinks to be worked out

@the_aiju Dependent vibes

static vs dynamic vibing

hindley-milner vibe checking

@the_aiju Easy to test theory: it predicts that you'll love Rachmaninoff youtube.com/watch?v=0uA8k-… (I also recommend having a look at one of the score following videos for that one)

the ping-pong song if you're curious :) idk why but the transitions are really magical to me... probably just further evidence for my theory of "good music is when accidentals and the more accidentals the gooder it is" idk i dont know anything about music youtube.com/watch?v=9LDe0g…

love finding a song on youtube, going "holy shit this feels like a whole new kind of music, it speaks to my soul in a way that nothign else does" and then i find out it's the opening for an anime about cute girls playing ping pong or something

@malk_zameth @the_aiju "If it meows like a girl"?

@the_aiju Python’s « if it quacks like a girl »

person who’s like “i’m not a girl but if you did ==girl on me in javascript it would return true”
