@spoltier yeah, Zed did the AI integration similar to Cody. it’s definitely a more technical approach, but i like it a lot more. going back, Copilot feels brain dead

@kellogh interesting, their doc says it should be enabled by default https://zed.dev/docs/completions#configuring-inline-completions
Still have to try it (not a vim user though). Have you tried sourcegraph Cody in VS code / intellij?

in Zed, one thing i’ve noticed, the AI tab completion isn’t implemented, so it’s not reaching out to an LLM nonstop. this feels refreshing. Copilot’s constant attempts at LLM completion end up being distracting. i just want an LLM when i ask, otherwise be quiet

@spoltier it's tradition to watch it every year when the station closes for the winter :)

@kevzag this made me think of a question: did you ever watch "The Thing" at the base, and how does it hit?

@andi not at all! It’s an interesting question that social media makes me ponder all the time. Part of the puzzle is what it is about voting specifically that makes people want to seemingly violate EUT in this way.
or to put it differently, what further utilities do you have to add in (self identity etc,) for the decision to look like it makes sense

Honestly, I'd be happier if you got off Xitter than I am by seeing your phone-capped Xitter stories.

On a related note, we are very much in danger of going back to a world where parts of the web only work in certain browsers. Google spent a lot of time and money making Chrome the gold standard. But the result is people build their website to Chrome rather than to general standards that will work everywhere. I went to back to using Firefox as my default a while back. It's mostly okay, but I'm back to a world where sometimes the website I want to use just doesn't work.

The solar story is not substantially about the US, which is hard for some to grasp.
It's also not a story where there's much point getting fond of the manufacturer characters.

Regarding current discourse: The only maths you *need* to know to be a programmer is a little topological group representation theory. The rest is overemphasized and not important except to specialists.

Was there ever a job market for people to write serious applications in Emacs Lisp?

mild cognitohazard, do not read this if your name is stephen, what
i know "stephen" is a common spelling of a name. i think "steven" is slightly more common, but that's beside the point. unfortunately, every time i see "stephen", i can't help reading it as step-hen.
like, imagine if chickens did marriage & family like humans currently do ... and a hen married into a family that already had chicks from a previous marriage, presumably. then that hen would be a stephen to those chicks.

Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.
get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails
we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)
i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏

@neoslugman @ploum j'ai trouvé cet échange fascinant. Pour moi, cela suggère que féminin / masculin sont, pour le sport de compétition, des catégories comme d'autres, et ne correspondent pas strictement au genre ou au sexe.
On pourrait donc imaginer plus de deux catégories basées sur le taux de testostérone, comme les catégories de poids...

En sport automobile, vous avez le droit à telle architecture moteur, et bien vous l'exploitez à fond.
En équitation, la question du sexe n'apparaît pas pertinente aux yeux des instances dirigeantes, et bien pas de souci. En basket, la taille n'est pas un sujet de catégorie, dont acte...
Bref, j'ai trouvé le raccourci de @ploum un peu rapide.
