Honestly flesh is pretty dope. Excited for machines to be incorporated in artificial imitations and get to stretch around and stuff.

this is so awesome! an independent *implementation* in addition to an *instance*.
really big step for the protocol ecosystem!
and very impressive considering how much work is needed on protocol specs 😅

Shoutout to this mobile kiosk guy helping me get a new data only sim for my linux machine 🤣
Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like for my techsona to interact with meatspace me when it's hopped up on energy drinks and in full on adhd zoomies.

I'm getting my ducks are in a row. I'm putting my chickadees in a column. The squirrels are stored in SQLite. I'm getting my chipmunks in Redis. I've been getting my crows into Postgres. I'm storing my pigeons in Mongo. There are raccoons in YAML? Who put raccoons in YAML? We've got snakes in an OracleDB? Why do we have either of those? Legacy acquisition? We have cockroaches in... well at least that makes sense. You say they're load-bearing cockroaches? And... is this an FTP server for ants?
@soapdog I kinda like raw activitypub since the public outboxes don't need any fiddling with authentication (usually).
I was considering testing to see if I could get an LLM to "vibe code" something but I strongly doubt it'd fare better than me with those APIs. Especially if I want to result to be fast
@DrPsyBuffy That makes sense. Hopefully it will work out sooner or later. It sounds like a rough time down there right now 🙏
Been playin Borderlands 3 with one of my pals once a week. They did a great job making split screen work IMO. Also a much more fun game with friends.

Those that obsess over LLMs like to believe that Plain English sits at the top of the abstraction pile, that it is the thing that a programming environment should seek to model. From this point of view, an LLM seems perfect: type in words, program comes out.
But Plain English is not the top of the pile, not even close. It's an imprecise and clumsy lingo. The process of development is about throwing away that imprecision and engaging with the reality of the possibility space.
@tahnok Yeah! If you join the group you should be able to get notifs. I'm hoping to do one once every month or two
Spent a bit last night looking at the state of client apis for signal and matrix and I get ehy everyone is making new chat protocols instead of connecting to existing stuff.

@mos_8502 God I wish. Low key the conservatives would be kicking ass if they didn't get derailed by all the right wing BS. The liberal party seems to be getting closer to what a conservative party would be and eating their lunch.

Imagine a publishing house with the mission of making knowledge and insights available to everybody for free, while ensuring high standards.
Well, the three universities of Berlin and the Charité have now joined forces to do just that.
They founded "Berlin Universities Publishing". Neither authors not readers pay. The pdf of books are freely available under a Creative Commons licence.
It's called "Diamond Open Access". They're just starting up. Much more to come.
@DrPsyBuffy what steps are you taking?
@nasser sauce? :o
Reminds me of when I was trying to do go channels in JS with promises. https://www.npmjs.com/package/promise-channel
@light I usually listen to ebooks while I do chores with TTS actually 😸
Currently reading through Handmaid's tale and some non fiction books.
Been agressively blocking my social media and doom scrolling apps and it looks like I'm filling the void with videogames and reading some of the blog posts in my backlog. Lots of screen time but feels less brain dead
Flesh, amirite?
