@rosslazer @tenobrus I sometimes do this when there are specific awkward phrasings I gotta fix and I'm desperate sans idees, but generically punchings ups/yassifizes of the whole thing ick sunt
English
@tenobrus i go back and forth on this one given the way I code with AI. will going line by line with an AI like a copy editor really run my voice and thought process?
English
this is a well written article i largely agree with . i really really fucking hate it when people pass off ai output as their own. but this section on hallucinations seems flat out wrong, and in general i don't understand how so many people still seem to encounter them.

@OttokarHochman growing up alongside video games (and personal computing) developing all the way from 8-bit machines was pretty fun
English
Conversely the generational cohorts that come away the most enthusiastic about technology tend to be ones that encounter such transformations *as young adults* (the Greatest Generation, earlier millenials) or those who come up immediately before it, when it's still mostly...
English
One very untrue idea that get repeated a lot is the idea that techno-optimism among earlier generations was the product of them having grown up witnessing major technological transformations in a way that we have not: this is actually basically the opposite of true!

@GergelyOrosz This is why I say that the problem with vibecoding is it doesn't have any vibes, other than delirium. You don't feel the vibes of the code like you do with regular coding. Regular coding is the real vibecoding
English
That feeling of: "I'm in the middle of the code... oh, this is such a nasty hack. OK, let me clean it up as I go. [2 hours pass] OK, it's done, now let me get back to where I was."
It just never happens as organically as I use AI agents. I no longer spot stuff as I don't "live in" the code...

@provisionalidea Including other software engineers' jobs
English
Remember: software engineers in the tech boom era have *always* thought they could do anyoneโs job with ease (driven largely by their high compensation), despite being utterly clueless about what those roles entailed, and were seldom correct in claiming so.
AI is no different.

I tried the Edison system developed by the first team (futurehouse) and it was barely usable. Perhaps they have improved but it would be a long way from replacing scientists.

@bali_gon Secret of Mana's Japanese title, ่ๅฃไผ่ชฌ2, literally translates to something like "Holy Sword Legend 2". I guess this confuses the LLM auto translators because it has a 2 and a "Legend" in it, and the original ่ๅฃไผ่ชฌ on Gameboy was Final Fantasy Adventure.
English
Grok translates this about Final Fantasy Legend 2
Gemini about Secret of Mana 2

@yumehimejoshi The โbelt and roadโ project is actually called โone belt one roadโ in Chinese
English
@SPRequiem1 @yumehimejoshi I thought it had to do with the words/characters they're paired with too, like in English people might use "the four C's" or whatever as mnemonic for four words that happen to start with C, but it's more satisfying with characters for every morpheme
English
@yumehimejoshi Because all numbers in Chinese are single syllable words,and they just sound way more catchy in Chinese than in English

@Genderator @RobinPoedev Yeah as a kid in the 80s the later levels of games had an almost mythical existence
English
@RobinPoedev Some of the NES games I had were so hard I could barely crack level 1 as a kid. Original Mario I *could* get pretty far in, but you better believe I used the warp pipes a lot (which I found on my own and thus felt like a genius already)
English
When I was 9 I used to dream about what was in Majoras mask second half, tantalizingly out of reach. It felt as if the game grew with me, developed and unfolded as I aged.
This would have been stolen from me if I felt like I was owed completion and if it allowed me to take it.

I want to tell a story. My daughter like video games. Maybe not the same video games I do, but she's liked the games she's liked over the years. Splatoon, Mario 3D World, Stardew Valley, Genshin Impact, Roblox, etc. One of the game she played when she was like 11, was Celeste. She like the visuals and simple core controls of the game. It was also WAY too hard for her, and she was never going to be able to clear it. But thankfully, Celeste had this Assist Mode in the game. Not something I'd personally use, but she did and it allowed her to experience the game entirely in a way that she enjoyed and looks back fondly on. Having this didn't ruin the game for speed runners, and didn't detract from its amazing level design. But it did allow her to enjoy the game. It was a good reminder for me, and I always look back at this as a great example of game design. When I was young (old joke here), it was stuff like Game Genie that would do this. Or the Konami code. Aint no way I would beat Contra without 30 lives...but thanks to that Konami code, I have fond memories of the game and it's final levels. Same with TMNT2 and its reverse code. All of this is to say, games having "cheats" for the player to be able to get past tough parts is something I will always advocate for. It keeps games more open to people who will enjoy them, and they can then challenge themselves as they get more into it. Aint nothing wrong with that. TLDR - These features in Mina look neat. I'm excited to play the base game, and admire the dev team for making so many cool options!

@alxfazio if it's already been built then why do I have to generate anything, why not just use the already built version
English
all code is boilerplate. most of what you want to build has already been built, in proven ways, and is basically a solved problem. bad llm output is usually a spec problem, not a model problem. garbage output comes from garbage direction. stop blaming the tool. youโre suffering from a catastrophic, terminal case of skill issue

@ABM_Prottoy @dotMorten *Not to be confused with WinUI 2.x, formerly known as WinUI 3 2.x
English
@ABM_Prottoy @dotMorten No it's more obscure than that, WinUI 1.x was an internal controls library on top of UWP that was used in some built-in Windows apps for a while and never publicly released (or rather WinUI 2.x* was the first publicly released version)
English
Your regular public service reminder: it is no longer called โWinUI 3โ. It is just โWinUIโ

@ver_scholl_en @echetus @Red_Mage23 Czech has its own romanization for Japanese which I think get Czech speakers pretty close to the Japanese pronunciation by just pronouncing the letters the normal Czech way. Or a lot better than naive English pronunciation of Hepburn at least
English
@echetus @Red_Mage23 X is fine for English, people who canโt wrap their minds around it just suffer a verbal IQ deficit.
But the real tragedy is that Posobiecโs ancestral Polish, which has the sounds, uses the anglicization instead of a native โSi Cinpingโ
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping

Why is not spelled that way then. Why is Chinese romanization deliberately wrong

Xi Jinping is pronounced "SHEE" as in "sheep" Really simple name that so many Westerners get wrong

@dotMorten @freedomschamp Last tweet may sound like chatgpt but was in fact artisanally handcrafted slop
English
@dotMorten @freedomschamp WinUI2 -> controls library or underlying layout engine?
UWP -> UI framework or app model?
WinRT -> APIs, app model, or ABI shape/language interop system?
XAML -> UI framework/controls or markup language?

@remedy @zincmax1 @QiaochuYuan It's also the same problem as holding a referendum on "should we kill everyone who doesn't vote yes on this referendum"
English
i completely missed this discourse the first time so lemme try. i pressed blue without thinking about it, my gut reaction was "blue is prosocial and red is antisocial," on reflection this still seems right to me
galaxy-brain game theory arguments in favor of red are completely missing the point. as others have pointed out, empirically blue wins, and this is a test of theory of mind more than anything else. the actual outcome is determined by what everyone else who is not you actually does, not by what game theory says they should do
a certain kind of nerd thinks game theory is just the "correct" framework for reasoning about this type of situation and that is absolutely not true either and can be questioned on intellectual grounds and not just vibes. among other things game theory assumes every participant is perfectly selfish and perfectly """rational""" (and that this is common knowledge among the participants). this is just totally false as a description of the actual world! multiple parents pointed out that parents have to remember that this test includes their children. and obviously the vast majority of people have never even heard of game theory but they do know what selfishness and selflessness are
funnily enough there's LW stuff around exotic decision theories that's actually relevant here. one of them i would describe roughly as "when you make a decision you are choosing to live in a world where people like you make decisions like that" and i'd rather choose to live in a world where people like me are prosocial
"blue is prosocial and red is antisocial" is also a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more people who believe it the more true it becomes. so believing it is partly a bet on how much other people believe it, partly an act of hyperstition to make it true. few
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@heykirenga @turtlekiosk winui3 is a descendent/fork of the same codebase github.com/microsoft/micrโฆ if you look at the code, there are still some remnants of the platform abstraction layer from when it was silverlight github.com/microsoft/micrโฆ

@turtlekiosk I immediately became a Silverlight fanboy the moment microslop dropped support. Now it's cool. I think there was Mono support for it no? We should revive it
English
we need to do this type of ahistorical nostalgia narrative for microsoft silverlight too
Mแtt@MMatt14
Flash disappeared overnight as browsers and sites simply dropped support because Apple and Google saw it as a threat to their business. That's why they also sabotaged HTML5 and kept webapps from becoming the new standard.

Sometimes you have to reign in the proclivities of people who are too concerned with making sure everything is as minimally harmful as possible and thereby removing what makes the thing special.

And since it's storytime, I remember when this new track got added a few years ago. I proposed the name "Goddesspeed." An overly zealous person in one of our western branches tried to axe the name for ethics reasons by saying it looked like "Goddess Peed." youtu.be/mefv4PsTfmY?siโฆ

@PrzemyslawKlys @planedrop @merill @MParakhin I like powershell but I do think text is more intuitive in the sense that it's wysiwyg; objects means there can be some extra invisible structure that can add unexpected complications
English
@planedrop @merill @MParakhin I have yet to understand the appeal to parse texts instead of working with objects. Perl/bash and all that. So while I agree, I cant see bash being superior to PowerShell
English
This I actually agree with - I am a Windows fanboy and even I donโt like PowerShell syntax. In my brief time as the head of Windows we started convergence, added sudo, I hope it will continue. rg as default has my vote :-)
Darren Shepherd@ibuildthecloud
Why can't @Windows just have Bash? I know they offer bash through WSL but that seems to just cause problems. I really think Windows should just have a native Unix user space. They can do it. They control the kernel. They can fix whatever they want. Mac did it. They give you Darwin with its crappy user space and people tolerate that. I seriously just don't get why Windows doesn't make the command line more Unix friendly. It seems completely doable. I feel like with the success of WSL they should at this point realize how important it is for developers to have a Unix command line. I think this is a legitimately good idea and that Microsoft should listen to me. ๐ And it's doable now only because they do have WSL which will give you full linux capability.
