i'm at the last file, 600 lines in. after that it's likely fixing linker errors and readding functions that i forgot.

@inthehands indeed preposterously oversold. it's one of these things where i'm confident it's not my age that biases me but the lack of quality in the tech. i'm not against the idea of "vibe coding" but i don't see that we're there yet. we ain't there by a long shot.

it probably only exists because a lot of us are lonely, and a simulated companion is still a companion.

@djlink i heard as an A-lister paul rudd is very expensive which is why they had to slap another $150 on the console price

@hellomiakoda @mauve @corbden why make this the shadow internet. why not make it the real internet.

@hellomiakoda @mauve @corbden a kind of "dark web"? intriguing

@dalias idk. rust strikes me as the fisher-price of systems programming languages. just ban the unsafe token

On April 19, source control tool Mercurial turns 20!

A huge thank you to Olivia Mackall for writing this amazing piece of software, and to Pierre-Yves David for maintaining it! 😊

(Note: this is a Mercurial appreciation thread. Please direct all git appreciation elsewhere.)

@dalias @michiel @flancian @eARCwelder ok. totally understand. i'm just a curious newb. i don't care about EA at all.

@dalias @michiel @flancian @eARCwelder always has been? got receipts?

@eARCwelder i understand the connection to roko's basilisk, and i agree with your assessment there, but what is the connection to effective altruism?

i only just now looked it up on wikipedia; the pitch seems harmless enough, but it seems the people involved in it twisted it into something else. i found this paragraph which is perhaps the connection you allude to?

@RamenCatholic i watched this one secretly when i was in hospital as a kid. another patient in the room watched it on TV. told me i was supposed to sleep. but how could i. the TV was above me, so i flipped my position under the sheet and watched this way. i remember wooly balls with teeth and two bounty hunters (one faceless one not?) demolish a family's house. unforgettable.

coping.

until today i thought the displacement of thousands of illustrators and writers through automation was an accident. it did not occur to me that someone might be waging war on us. i completely forgot about the very real scenario that we artists could be victims of Operation Entartete Kunst 2.0. how naive of me.

sure, SD and LLM did not start out this way. but they sure as shoecream found their sugar daddies.

@neauoire federal executive power. that still leaves local state authorities.

(it is my personal conviction that the US is fundamentally too big to be governable - particularly by a central organ, and that this nazi shit might work with 65 million people distributed over 357 thousand km², but not with 334 million over 9 million km²)
