> JavaScript being the most popular programming language in the world

This is where I stopped reading.

JavaScript is not the most popular programming language in the world. It’s not even in the top five.

This is pretty terrible for offline deployment. An install manager is useless for offline systems.

For folks who don’t want any hassles, there’s WinPython. It’s a portable Python distribution à la Anaconda. The “whl” flavor includes a nice wheelhouse of packages that you can use as a flat index for your venvs.

> Fasting (1 to n weeks) is said to provide potential benefits for certain types of cancer treatments. Pre-cancer, it is said to potentially prevent cancer onset. This is potentially powerful for those of us with a family history with cancer.

It makes sense. Cells need nutrients for the cell cycle, similar to the way computers need RAM to execute programs.

Fasting not only deprives cancer cells of nutrients, but also triggers a homeostatic response in the entire body. This response includes putting its garbage collection system (autophagy) into overdrive mode so that it can reclaim the limited resources it has left to survive. Fasting is a reductive treatment, like purging oxygen from a server room on fire. It might help slow it down, but it can take healthy inhabitants along with it.

Additive treatments offer more options. If you catch the fire early and it’s contained (non-metastatic), you can target it with a fire blanket (surgery, stem cell transplantation) or a fire extinguisher (small molecules, biologics, peptides, gene therapy, etc.) to put it out. The sprinklers are a last ditch effort for larger fires (chemotherapy, radiation), which could save the building, but result in significant collateral damage.

Has anyone had success using 2 agents, with one as the creator and one as an adversarial "reviewer"? Is the output usually better or worse?

Has to be an inside job. One doesn’t just simultaneously hack into an AWS account, know exactly which key is needed for coin minting, and know internal details necessary to exploit a smart contract. The nature of the hack practically reveals their identity.

It’s garbage either way.

On that note, do we have an open standard for OS implementations? Where the fuck is our modern scratch made OS written in Rust?

It’s about time we topple this shitty triopoly.

> The build script compiles C code down to a clang intermediate assembly, which is then handed off to a Python script that translates it into a Rust macro which is checked into Xous as a buildable artifact using its pure-Rust toolchain.

Ah yes, the good ol “we solved the C problem by turning it into four other problems” pipeline

Silly is not explaining why you can’t just pass a handwritten note like a polite person who follows etiquette. Polite people naturally won’t really just start speaking out loud; ones that know etiquette will pretend it’s more convenient for you to read their note when you can, and others will just note you are rude.

> If you put someone on speaker without introducing everyone present then they should hang up on you.

This is silly. Just tell the person you are talking to that they are on speaker.

Assuming the party on the phone has been informed and the volume is not excessive, having a conversation on speaker is equivalent to having a physical conversation in person.

Does it go without saying that OpenAI/majority shareholder Microsoft can unilaterally change the licenses and take Astral’s repos offline (completely against the will of Charlie or the community)?

Regardless of how likely/inevitable this scenario is, the public should make offline backups and forks immediately.

For some reason I thought this would be about design/architecture patterns that work and scale well with agentic workflows.

Sure, ban everyone that uses em dashes from the digital commons. That will certainly stop the existential threat to your livelihood.

Sarcasm aside—there is no reliable way to prove this. So it begs the question: you really care if something is AI generated? Or is this just an another excuse to silence people you don’t like?

You know, those people. The ones who didn’t win a full ride to <prestigious university> or pay a fortune for a sheet of paper. The ones who haven’t spent thousands of man hours handcrafting a <free-and-open-source-cloud-native-hypermedia-aware-RESTful-NoSQL-API> framework implemented in Rustfuck, a new language that you made in your free time that borrows from Rust and Brainfuck (but they wouldn’t know about it).

(this is to anyone reading, mostly rhetorical, not dang in particular)

More desperate virtue signaling and gatekeeping.

“Look at me and the code that took me eons to perfect. It’s handcrafted and genuine.”

Newsflash: nobody cares, especially if it’s expensive, time consuming, or doesn’t work. They also don’t care about “artisanal” PDO cheese with a 30% tariff that still tastes like shit.

“The posers are stealing our thunder. Forgery!! They terk r jerbs!”

Sink or swim. You decide.
