or anyone who ever used `git blame` and knew what it did

lmao trying to imagine the scenario GP envisions as they "typed" together their comment

The DoD is blaming AI for this (you are of course right though)

Anthropic is vindicated in that you need oversight over AI being used to kill people, the USA military clearly showed itself incapable of wielding that responsibility.

Absolute clown show in the US right now

There is no evidence there was ever a universal language. Or am I missing a joke here?

I am speaking of biblical sources as reasoning or evidence. If you read different books and hold a different faith that would explain the missing part.

The Tower of Babel? Is that what you mean?

Correct. The people of earth, after the great flood, built a structure to avoid future floods but were interrupted by a multidimensional being through confusion of languages.

Do you think these people also knew about all the other continents of Earth with other people on them? It seems possible to me it happened on one continent but seems unlikely they really knew about everyone at the time.

Fun question. The people of Cain had cities, Cain was concerned that he would be restless wanderer on the earth with fear of vigilantes. During this time there was a single language, with humans (with very long life spans) filling the earth. Nineveh and Calah were two large cities, further from Eden it would seem, meaning there was sea travel and being pre-flood, the land configuration may have been significantly different.

Those are definitely ads and definitely not what I want out of a streaming service I am paying for. This is why I don't use Amazon Prime Video much, even Apple TVs subtle ads for other programs are distasteful and I get Apple TV for free, it still pisses me off.

weird to me that people still fall for Musk's propaganda

i had hoped him lying about being an amazing video game player, literally paying someone else to play for him and taking all the credit, would open folks' eyes to the fact that he lies about the most basic things

It takes a odd kind of person to look at someone who can't tell the truth if their life depended on it... And then start bending over backwards to explain how brilliant they are.

Most of the rest of us understand that once you've said enough brazen bullshit, you forfeit the right to be believed.

I haven't heard of those, but I've used Zig and Rust for some projects

What's the pitch?

The V pitch was a bunch of features that seemed implausible like automatic C++ translation and near-GC ergonomics with near-manual-memory behavior, without Rust-style explicit lifetime annotations or pervasive reference counting. so basically the pitch was the holy grail of systems, which caused drama as the project was met with extreme skepticism.

That was 7 years ago and since then the project has not delivered the grail, instead settling to be more of a mashup between go and C.

Bend is completely different it was just announced last week. It doesn’t have any users and has a weird ai integration so I done see how it’s relevant as a contender in the systems space at all.

Also the creator of Bend is... lets just say he doesn't stick to projects for long.

> One caveat worth stating up front

It would be nice if people would note that their posts are AI generated, and put that in the title here to make it easier to ignore

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, that seems like a pretty phrase to me, is it considered an LLMism now? Kinda feels like the same thing with the em-dashes; I can't use em anymore because people will then assume I'm an LLM, even though just a few years ago it was a perfectly normal thing to do.

It's entirely possible I'm just getting worse and worse at picking out LLM writing these days too, who knows.

It’s a very common tic of recent Claude models specifically. Don’t worry - for better or worse, the labs are trying to train away AI writing smells (for example, Anthropic talked about Fable 5.1 having more natural writing), so this particular tic will probably become outdated as an AI indicator relatively soon, as em dashes already have. And then people will forget about it.

Google's review is complete horseshit. It has been darkly funny to watch them try to compete with Apple by adding strict review (way stricter than Apple's) and still terrible applications make it in while legitimate ones have trouble.

Just go back to the way it was before, and scan the apps with static analysis tools. This security theater is stupid and always was (for Apple and Google).

I can't see pictures in my mind or hear anything. Feels very weird to know that it isn't standard for folks to be like me.

I just realized for the first time (like 1 minute ago, after reading this), that I also can't conjure up images in my head. If I close my eyes and try to visualize a cat, or a family member's face, I can't. Still have normal visual dreams though.

I dunno - seems normal to me! :)
