The 2 laws of AI/agent labs:
1. Any lab not explicitly and radically on the frontier sooner or later becomes obsolete.
2. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any non-radically-frontier lab is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its biggest enterprise customers.

@sqs@nicolasembleton fyi teamlab planets and borderless are different installations, the one in azabudai hills is much smaller (but newer) and you would need to purchase tickets a few days in advance (there is a huge line lol)
Will visit Taipei, Seoul, and Tokyo with my 6¾yo daughter in April.
She likes a lot of things, including: K-Pop (Demon Hunters), soccer, swimming, dumplings, sushi, science museums, WW2 history, high-tech stuff, and cool palaces.
Any recs for kids?
why is the mouse industry so fucked up?
why can't I find a mouse that:
- does not look like a RGB gaming rig
- doesn't have a ton of buttons on it
- is wireless
- has a good build quality which doesn't have a scroll wheel that dies within 2 months
- is not MX Master
@levelsio@maxchristianl oversized luggage space does not require reservation anymore (starting from july 1). its located near the exits, you just have to be first in line to get them
HTTPS + set custom DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 and your traffic is always private
The sites you visit are then sent to Google or Cloudflare, and HTTPS encrypts the traffic end-to-end
No need for an expensive VPN subscription in most cases
Don't fall for their FUD
@axionbuster@HSVSphere actually yeah, egui does support screen readers and tab navigation. i think also works with multi touch, no idea about custom dpi. i feel like egui and qt are the only fully native toolkits that have accessibility features out of the box
@HSVSphere does egui support screen readers, tab navigation, multi touch, custom dpi, etc.? whenever i look at custom gui frameworks i think about these questions. especially given i have worked with a low-vision person before. last time i checked it didn’t, maybe it does now
@ChShersh Elixir has been one of the most enjoyable things I've done as someone who primarily works with Rust and C++. One of the big problems I've had is the lack of strict types, I literally feel blind not knowing the types of function arguments. this a skill issue?
Tomorrow, you'll go to your job.
You'll attend another pointless stand-up.
You'll do another unfulfilling task.
Your wife will complain you don't earn enough.
You'll be too tired even to play video games.
If you want to change all of that, here's my advice on how to find a Functional Programming job:
1. Learn an FP language. No, FP in TypeScript or Python doesn't count. You need to learn the essence of FP. I suggest OCaml, Haskell, Clojure or Elixir.
2. Join a FP community. FP jobs are so rare, they go away immediately as they appear. Usually, they don't even go to job boards, and are often posted in community forums, so you'd better monitor them! Besides, networking is essential.
3. Participate in OSS. Again, in FP, OSS communities are more active. Great for networking too.
4. Monitor FP job sites to see if there's anything relevant: functional.works-hub.com/functional-pro…
5. Apply for jobs. Even if you think you don't have relevant experience. People in FP communities perfectly understand that it's nigh impossible to get industrial experience with an FP language, so they're usually more flexible with requirements.
6. Prepare for a marathon. It's not a one-week process; it may take months or years. Getting your first FP job is hard, but getting your second FP job is no different from any other language.
