Mastodon users can have an Oxford comma, as a treat
@nprofile1q... "Up next, AI has learned to use the Oxford comma. Yet another tell for AI writing that includes em-dashes, proper punctuation, and a lack of misspelling. We've brought in an expert to ask, 'Has the AI become sentient?' Dr. Dawkins, thank you for joining us."
It's actually so wild how X is a platform now made to rage bait each other while the trillionaire laughs on their throne siphoning billions from the people whilst paying 0 tax. What a wild platform th...

"what if i tell it NOT to do cybercrime?" "hmmmmm still might do cybercrime"
@nprofile1q... "Listen, in my SKILL file, I tell it, 'Don't do cybercrime.'"
"Well, sure, but you only say it once, and it's not in all caps, and you as well as I know sometimes saying a thing can plant the seed, and who knows? Maybe the context window lopped off the prefix of 'Don't'. Either way though, it did the cybercrime and you're responsible."
"What!? Please I'll put it in all caps next time, I swear!"

#RustLang pro-tip:
When wanting to inspect the value of a binding in a let-chain, you can take advantage of blocks being expressions as well and add one in the middle of the chain
if let Some(next) ...
@nprofile1q... That's a cool trick in general. In this case I'd opt to use Option::inspect.
if let Some(next) = iter.peek().inspect(|next| tracing::info!(?next)) ...

Looking at the latest Bevy migration guide, and I don't know, it's good to see an API made better with each pass instead of backwards compatibility forcing the first-and-worst version on us forever.
Unity actually had a cool auto-update feature for API breaking changes. But I wonder if breaking backwards compatibility isn't going to be fear it once was. LLMs can do what Unity's tool did for any project in any language with a good migration guide.
