Neat parallels between false confidence in using adderall to try to boost performance and #ai.
tl;dr: You feel more productive but actually aren't
Oh BTW I was interviewed by @pears_p2p recently about the #p2p work I've been doing. Low key I was jetlagged as heck for this. :P
The way I grow code is fundamentally different from a line by line LLM. I kinda work both the top and bottom at the same time. Building the fractal hourglass of minute details and high level interface until every bit joins together. It'd be neat to compare to a diffusion based model.

believe me, you don’t want to touch the old magic. it’s a huge mess of legacy scrolls barely held together by makephials
Satisfied with simulation I'm adding the state gossip protocol to our sync code. Then I'll be able to answer questions like "Does the old sync server know it's been removed yet?"

📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSE
Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.
What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.
The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse!
Yet they need HELP.

I posted a call today for devs to give #forgefed due attention. There is a bit of a tragedy in that the @forgefed team is working on the specs, everyone very excited about the prospect of full forge federation, yet no one is implementing forgefed nor providing good input and feedback to mature the specs. The forgefed folks still have some @nlnet funding via #NGI0 but if that runs out it is unsure whether they can support implementers when time comes.

Dear GitHub users. Forgejo exists (and is the software behind Codeberg). Radicle exists. Sourcehut exists. You’re welcome to join! And with forgefed we also have a federated approach. We were building all of that while you were sleeping ;) Maybe you are now ready to help us build a better, more decentralised code sharing future?
Gonna try mask making for the first time since highschool. See if my brain can figure out how to make a design I'm satisfied with.

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue
Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

@glyph Here's the thing! Red means the two nodes don't have accurate information about each other and green means they do. Random nodes connect every 2 seconds to sync and gossip sync state with each other. Then a random node updates every 4 seconds.

Sunk cost fallacy is a major force in human lives at every level. The more you give yourself to something the more you sink into it. It's fun to look around and see what those things are in one's own life and the lives of others.
Beep boop writing up a new gossip protocol and a simulator to visually inspect how it will work in practice. ⌨️
