Leibniz, 1685: “this language will be the greatest instrument of reason,” for “when there are disputes among persons, we can simply say: Let us calculate, without further ado, and see who is right”

Humanity, 2025: "I've asked ChatGPT. It said I'm right."

@Serpent7776 I love Haskell tuples and their "some stuff gets an annotation" semantics. Pythons tries to go this way with the tuples-that-aren't-quite-lists, but drops the ball halfway.

@Some_Emo_Chick Why the investigation? What is there to investigate in a box with wires? 🤔

Homeopathy is deeply unethical

The method of invoking the water memory is exceptionally problematic. The water had been in *terrible* places. It witnessed... things... It carries an incomprehensible levels of trauma.

And you invoke it to what? To cure a cold what would pass by itself in a few days? How dare you!

LLM-generated docs be like

```python
def wiggle_bottom(self, amplitude: float, phase: float) -> RC:
"""This function would wiggle the bottom. It takes the following arguments: amplitude (a double-precision floating point value according to ieee734 standard) and phase (also a double-precision floating point value formetted to ieee734). As a result it would provide a remote controller."""
```

@dpiponi @athas Looks like a perfect thing to put in code.

I wonder though, what's missing. I expect if we really do have the AAA title out of it it would be more like the Starfield - lots of "content" of the same flavor that would get bland rather fast.

In a tabletop, the spice would be the GM and the players working together to tell a story. Can a game be adaptable enough? Can a good enough GM be coded too?

@atomicpoet @surf I wanted to, but the form has mandatory first/last name and email, and is a ios/android-only app?.. No bueno.

(And uses Flipboard/Mastodon in social accounts, but not "fediverse".. What's even going on there?)

US pol, fscking hell 

@reidrac well, the govt-corporate merger is one of the signs. Add some jingoism, xenophobia, "decency"... :ablobthinking:

Paradoxically, some of the other items on the Eco Checklist come from the left wing of us pol :ablobnervous:

The hell is indeed fscking.

You'd better go learn some as the planet devolves into a complete clownshow :blobclown:

@ericflo Nah, we still have it in the belt^W^W^W on torrents.
The inners are just being inners, discarding their assets like there's no tomorrow. And with that attitude - there isn't!

@vas3k в рублях нормально выросло

@reidrac Actually, Haskell has a long standing gamedev tradition.
There's not much people in absolute values, but they did write games and it's an recognized and cherished activity.

There's not many [finished games](haskell-game.dev/games.html) but the geological layers contain much more lore.

@reidrac It may not matter for a player, but can be really helpful to see a simple but finished, polished, and end-to-end playable game.
