A reason why authors SHOULDN'T sign up for ChatGPT plus accounts:
If OpenAI's billing DB leaks, and your name is in it ...
People will start questioning whether you actually wrote your books, or used a mechanical ghostwriter.
US case law denies copyright protection to AI-generated material.
Your publishing contracts typically include an assertion of sole authorship by you.
So if it looks possible that you used ChatGPT, you might end up pissing off your publisher and/or losing a book deal.
@deadprogram happy half-tau day!
@terrorjack nah, bulk matter processing should be pretty cheap. Taking extra precautions for everything vaguely alive - that would cost some.
@terrorjack we don't even need an evil seed to be disassembled for some useful atoms (but this way we'd get overlords only metaphorically)

i think more web services should include an unprivileged command that causes a minor denial of service. i think this would be extremely funny

@graydon @cstross @fizbin @KarlSchroeder @gray17 We should taste the previously untasted insecticides! I'm sure there's some *great* stuff lays undiscovered.
@flora_pm I want to know a network-amortized amount of dependency cost I would incur on my downstream if I add this one to my library.
`aeson` dependency list looks expansive, but the package can be reasonably expected to end up in pretty much everybody's cache anyway.
`lens` has quite a Kmettverse to it, but it is already used by a lots of other packages too.
Finally, `interpolatedstring-perl6` has a relatively tiny list, but one of the items is `haskell-src-meta` which is 1) a hog for compilation time and 2) is a relatively niche.
So, `aeson` is a relatively no-brainer to add.
`lens` is kinda okay.
But when selecting a text QQ package I'd rather peek around for a few more minutes.

@nomeata I wonder if there is a QR code somewhere in that, leading to the online library of obscure knowledge from the deepest parts of the reality

Please, please, stop using "foo" and "bar” in code documentation. Give us real examples that mean something. Not "if (foo > bar)," but “if (height > limit)." Not “foo++” but “counter++”. Give us a logical hook to hang our hat on, not nonsense words.
@reidrac@mastodon.sdf.org if anything, entity queries wouldn't have to jump over each active entity while traversing that list they're all sharing.
@reidrac@mastodon.sdf.org the project looks ripe for using apecs (:
@reidrac@mastodon.sdf.org What to you use for "entities" ? I guess it isn't ECS.. yet (=
@rml IMO, v-t is a bit too conservative. It helps to set up a basic flow of it but doesn't really teach you much of what makes vulkan interesting. vk-guide does a better job of it.
Anyway, it's trawling the specs and forums afterwards while enjoying the new intimate connection to hardware 
@rml Ignore vulkan-tutorial unless you're familiar with opengl. Take vkguide.dev instead.
@gregeganSF Witnessing an ability of a bunch of constant matrices to write poetry *at all* is fascinating. Like entering a portal to the world of Blindsight.
@rml VMA is love, VMA is life
