@nprofile1q... I think it might have been different when more people were doing farming and were able to sustain themselves from it (becausewhen you have a full stomach and a roof above your head, you don't need that much money)

In the meantime, I'm not sure what we should expect from future generations if we teach them about life through Minecraft and The Sims

@nprofile1q...
I think it's easy to dismiss LLMs this way (and it's not the first time I hear such criticism).

And there are indeed many dark aspects related to that technology. My main concern is that, withou proper discipline, it makes people more more stupid and more dependent.

On the other hand, cocaine didn't have, nor give you, access to 'all of the world's knowledge'. I also managed to use Claude Code and ChatGPT to build a few services that are used by other people that I otherwise wouldn't be able to build, or that would take me much longer time to build.

And maybe that's because modern tech stacks really suck, or maybe that's because I suck as a programmer, but it is apparent that they enhance my ability as a programmer.

@nprofile1q...

@nprofile1q... probably some logarithmic shrinking of something

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... in my view, the main problems with Kawa are that:
- there are some bugs in the compiler
- the compiler is written in the 90's Java style, very stateful and it's not always easy to figure out what's going on
- the author of Kawa doesn't seem to have energy/passion/capability to maintain it anymore
- there is no vibrant community around Kawa, and there seems to be no commercial incentives either (like the ones Cognitect had)

That being said, I think it is an amazing piece of work - including both the engineering effort and the tasteful extensions to the Scheme language

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... excuse me, but I once wrote a linkedin post describing how I accidentally stepped on a snail

@nprofile1q... właściwie to można z tego zrobić mema:

@nprofile1q...

1. Move fast and break things
2. Zapewniamy, że nasze procesy są w pełni bezpieczne

@nprofile1q... if you cd ~/projects/nlnet/mes instead then it should be idempotent

@nprofile1q... I think that scammers and Scheme programmers should have the .con top level domain available for their exclusive use

@nprofile1q... nevertheless, I consider you to be my soul mate
