@mike AVX512 may sound good on servers, but I think the CPUs would choke themselves hard to prevent overheating and/or burning your laps.

:fediverse: Mastodon monoculture problem 

:boost_requested:

> »I believe we need to learn from this history. Once we do, we should be worried about the sheer size of mastodon.social. We should be worried by the apparent monoculture of Mastodon-the-software on the Fediverse. And we should also be worried about identifying all of Fediverse with just “Mastodon”.«

IMO should've been just a redirect to Twitter. But, finders keepers.

At long last, we've created a Torment Nexus, and the people are already lining up for it.

@angerman @acowley STG (or whatever) interpreters can't come soon enough. I wonder why they weren't made available from start.

@niconiconi I was glad they're finally started shipping Direct X11. But then Microsoft went overboard.

@fuzzysteve @ErikJonker @ncweaver @jsrailton Where do you get those "Truth machine" ads? Everywhere I go I see "careful, this thing isn't factually correct" stickers.

@pluralistic The one doesn't cancel the other. Even if our universe had an option to select an x-risk of the run, we surely have "all of them" checked.

@suppi@fosstodon.org You have my wholehearted support on this case.

@rml Mr. Granin is at it again?.. I'm surprised he's still on pulse, given how doomed are the languages according to his beliefs.

Every week in AI

ai bullshit 

There have been many words written lately about Neal Stephenson and how he "predicted the forthcoming metaverse" in Snow Crash but the Stephenson prediction I can't stop thinking about is from 2008's Anathem about how generative AI almost destroyed their internet. Most of the jargon doesn't matter just know that "reticulum" means internet and "Ita" are IT support. 🧵

@reidrac@social.sdf.org Nice! Just like from some gamedev book in my childhood.

@boilingsteam "Credit where credit is due"
... I miss that principle.

Extracted tile "proxy" data from Tilesetter projects. Makes maps a little less bland.

@haskman IDK. Not all tears are productive. Some questions a newcomer can ask are just wrong and seeking answers for them is a waste of time.

@haskman When I was a beginner I needed a mentor to pull me through the syntax (I had to bootstrap instead). The books and linkdumps weren't helpful. HCAR was interesting (too bad it is gone for some years already). Perhaps the discourse site is an okay substitute.

@haskman Out of the provided examples [ghc] and [cabal] are up. I think I would like `stack` in there too.
Also present: [ghcup]... And the rest of the [stuff] that is already there.

* hls - looks linkable
* ghcid - okay, some people are using it.
* intero - dead?..
* the books.... get outdated rather quickly. and some of them are commercial products. I wouldn't champion those.

Okay, let's go and make PRs now.

[cabal]: haskell.org/cabal/
