@scottmichaud Personally, I hate it when I have to register each input and/or output manually. Too much brains can be off-putting, but too little is a productivity killer.

I love when a build system can run its own watcher and go incremental.

@scottmichaud Have you seen the "build systems a la carte" paper? Quite insightful!

@BartWronski @aras For the hard shadows it may be cheap and simple, but soft shadows bring that back into finickyland of Monty Python integration.

@baldur I've only skimmed and searched for a few keywords, but the overall point of the article is "LLMs are not AGIs" (on which I totally agree).

Unfortunately I didn't find the "AGIs are impossible" parts. Well, given the overall focus on the status quo, that's fair. Thanks, anyway!

@boilingsteam @Poslovitch It was, in 2013!

Found some ye olde reports

> Since the Linux client’s unveiling, the number of compatible Steam games has grown to 131 titles, most of which come from smaller independent developers.

With only 131 native titles, most of them indie!

(Also, the Mac was at 3% then, lol.)

@baldur I got interested in "no AGIs" thesis, but there's nothing like that in ToC. Am I missing something?

@amiloradovsky reduction-shmeduction... We aren't even close to Kardashev 2 to think about this like it's a good thing on itself.

@amiloradovsky "worst-case allocations"? Worst case execution time is a thing too.

@gregeganSF looks suspiciously close to be an opening shot of incoming law warfare concerning "protection of personal data", while actually being an attempt at stabbing privacy.

@BartoszMilewski so, what kind of monoid is a money bank?
