What kinds of project would Odin be best suited for, as compared to, say, Rust or Go?

This is both intimidating and fascinating.

I wonder what would happen if the first real android, in the Asimov sense, was birthed in a garage and not in some high-budget corporate lab somewhere.

The Briefings have been most useful for me. It feels more curated and less firehose-y.

Aaaand now I'm using OpenCode instead, and trying out OpenCode Go.

This is fantastic. And I really appreciate that it doesn't pollute my history API with a bunch of exploration marks.

That's neat!

I've been looking at getting an e-reader in the last few days, and the Xteink X4 is one of the ones I considered. I think it's probably too small for my intended use, but it's cool that people are tinkering with it like this.

I love how snappy Zed is. Well done, folks. You should be proud of your work.

The author mentions SubSpace (the computer game, from the 90s), and the limited pixel budget for player banners in it.

It would be interesting to see if you could run a pared-down version of that game on a display like this.

Did you read the article? The author goes into several applications beyond just that.

I'm glad you've built something that works for you! Keep at it. Experiment, don't just leave it the same way it is now.

I would say yes, because the physics of rolling two objects is slightly different than one object. I don't have any idea, though, if that would affect the distribution of numbers rolled. It's not an experiment that can be done through simulation.

However it came to the "knowledge," I'm glad it had it!

Seeing as I know almost nothing about reverse engineering, in this case, an LLM was a great tool in solving the problem. Yes, I could have spent the time and energy to do it myself, but this seemed like a good use case for an LLM.

There are other problem sets where I'm not using LLMs at all - like porting a lot of my procedural generation code from Typescript to Godot's GDScript.

In theory, governments have the ability to curtail the activity of corporations.

Are you challenging that idea?

You're assuming that politicians are competent, thorough, and consider all the implications before writing a bill or voting on a bill.

That is a _very_ dangerous assumption.

Why do we allow megacorporations to exist at all?

The way the article is worded, I would guess the material still exists somewhere, but has not been made available to the public.

Some enterprising individual should do some digging and see where that material is, and who has both access to it and the ability to release it.

Iran made those AWS data centers... unhappy.

The comment is disingenuous, though, since Locker doesn't need AWS S3 to function.
