Tech Tangents

I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

Speculating about computer hardware pricing impact 

I'm legit really curious what will happen should bleeding-edge memory, GPUs, and hard drives become inaccessible for regular consumers. Speculating, my hunch is:

1. Most consumers will simply not upgrade unless things break
2. Instead of buying new, more people will buy refurbished instead
3. This will open up the market for new vendors selling hardware 5-10yrs behind the bleeding edge
4. We'll start hearing more about performance-per-dollar

@arichtman @ellyxir Yeah AFAIK WAT has been pretty stable after the first few years. It's been the closest I've gotten to actually coding in lisp :P

@arichtman @ellyxir Back when it was first coming out I tried my hand at some basic WAT coding. Doing for loops was surprisingly a major pain in the ass :P

@calcifer @j2kun @ifixcoinops Oh! I remember Opera had that at one point. I've been meaning to add it but I'm not sure what the most reliable method to get the "next page" is. I've also added a "go up" so you can navigate to parent directories.

@nasser I mean they weren't wrong tbh. 😅 Most people don't need to care about memory management even if it isn't efficient. Maybe the growing cost of RAM will change things

@arichtman You can overflow it and there was a spec proposed for tail call optimization when ES6 was still the new hype, so I guess it does? gpx.github.io/posts/es6-tail-c

I wish Javascript had a nice array slice primative (for objects). Or structs I could allocate on the stack. 🥲

Thankful that I learned C as my first "serious" programming language before I got set in my ways. Kinda wish I had more excuses to use it (or Rust tbh) at work. Garbage collected langs low key irk me even though I'm so used to them.

@j2kun @kitten_tech @ifixcoinops @agregore Yeah the hard part there IMO is connecting the browser to whatever home server you have for initiating tge mentions. I feel like detecting mentionable pages to then redirect to your server of choice could be doable. easier in the ActivityPub case for stuff that implements the client-server API

@kitten_tech @j2kun @ifixcoinops Very interesting! I've been thinking of doing some stuff along these lines (For ActivityPub) in @agregore , but RSS seems like an even better target. Plus it being read only simplifies a lot.

@ifixcoinops What would the "browser" part of it do that couldn't be done in a regular web app?
