If there's a unit test and you can give the correct response, I think it absolutely should be refunded and more. Otherwise, the stage of proof would be too hard.

Stepping on my soapbox: Treat your mind, body, and present moment as if they're sacred. As if you could live a thousand lives and they would be sacred every time. All the other stuff, it's just this once.

Cleaning a mind of random grievances and addictions is good. Letting a body be weird, dance wrong, move in funny ways, sing poorly: this is good too.

The whole "purpose" thing is a side-effect. It can't be sought directly, I think.

I had similar feelings with art generation. The early midjourney was definitely impressionistic, and I just kind of like impressionism. It's cool how accurate these have become, but they also feel closer to uncanny or boring.

Yeah. It really does seem that Microsoft is giving up on... everything? Like Xbox is kinda out, Windows is not great, and their AI never comes up as meaningful.

I wouldn't personally work for them ever. I've only heard bad things about their codebase... and I know people like to complain, but it's usually comedy levels of bad.

Sure. I spent some time designing the architecture for a system like this last year, based largely on my experience dating a prolific social networker for many years.

Would love to chat about it. There's no PM, so you can find my email at https://sephreed.me by clicking "contact"

I'll join your team if you find something. Would love to work as a group, rather than lone contributors.

Currently I'm looking into Deno and Ladybird. The latter has been nice enough, though the onboarding is little more than "compile yourself, then search for an issue."

I usually know what type I have and what type I want and just skim, searching for code examples with anything using either of those types.

The only time I really read some docs is if I've been stuck on one particular problem for a while.

I suspect that 90% of the time, if it isn't in a codeblock I don't read it.

I'm currently discovering Helix because I'm creating an LSP. I had tried to do the work in Zed, but Zed requires compilation with each update. It's for the sake of sandboxing, but it slows everything down immensely.

"Evolution" as we know it is just a phase

At a certain point, there's no limits to survivability. You can redesign yourself in any way, and not die from it (or have back-ups if you do).

"Were these the good ol days"

From what I've seen, there's not a lot of people who don't gain a fair bit of psychological wellness from turning off their phone for a week.

I see smartphones as a trade off: productivity for happiness.

Separate data and views.

Basically: servers focus on serving their data, and then it's up to the user to figure out which "renderer" they want to use to display it. Ofc defaults would be provided.

But, say, you wanted to view tweets in a table form: no problem.

Or maybe, you want to have a really wacky "whip the llamas ass" UI for podcasts: go for it.

The big benefit of this is that it would allow for artistry in websites, rather than the boring old blue, black, white, grey material design.

In 2013 I imagined this industry as being the next big thing. Mixed with VR, Deepfake, and Voice changing tech, literally anyone could be anyone fucking anyone.

Thank you Buttplug, for getting us closer to that dream.

What if attaching digital inputs to our neurons and self hacking is the major leap that will bring AGI out?

Yes, absolutely. My sense of beauty goes from focusing on grace to focusing of freedom/story. Both are pretty in their own way, but by choosing to appreciate what they do best I become more aware of one type of beauty over another in all aspects near me.

I'm hoping t get Hackintosh running on a lenovo yoga so I can replace my keyboard one last time and sell the POS.
