@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I recommend you to remain curious without crossing the threshold. Unless, of course, you truly want to follow a never-ending rabbit hole. 😂

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com i’ve been curious about searxng!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org as long as i get to see silly little tux sliding around in a silly game older than me it’s ok even if i committed windows/wine crimes to see it <33

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Must be a decode ago that I last used Wine. I wanted to play GTA2, but that didn’t go as planned.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de And there the air raid siren goes off.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh no, how unpenguinly! But at least it runs, even races. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That sounds great! (Well, they actually must have recorded the audio with a potato or so.) You talked about pledge(…) and unveil(…) before, right? I somewhere ran across them once before. Never tried them out, but these syscalls seem to be really useful. They also have the potential to make one really rethink about software architecture. I should probably give this a try and see how I can improve my own programs.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de arch moment

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m grateful that this works at least!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz lol, oof, well, better than nothing. 🥴 It appears to run quite well. 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz UPDATE: getting it to run natively through a VM and other means all failed! so i did the cursed thing and tried the windows installer in wine…..

GUESS WHAT WORKED

@thecanine@twtxt.net i do not get the reference but this is very cute!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com fuck yeah!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de missing libraries :( i expected it though

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup 👍 Super interesting sruff 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Ahhh, right, my bad, I could have easily found that. 🤦

There’s also a project page which lists some limitations of this study: https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/overview/

It certainly sounds plausible. “Use it or lose it.”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think it’s here on MIT’s website: Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net But is there a source for it? Am I too stupid to use that site? 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was more interested in the MIT research tbh 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net … or just bullshit.

I’m Alex, COO at ColdIQ. Built a $4.5M ARR business in under 2 years.

Some “C-level” guy telling people what to do, yeah, I have my doubts.

@prologic@twtxt.net This doesn’t cite any sources, might as well be satire. 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Awww. :( Can you tell why? Missing libraries or does it just segfault?

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt so sorry for your suffering, and loss. :-P

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Cool, that’s a nice summary!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz join the SearxNG cult! the grass is way greener over here 😁

@movq@www.uninformativ.de neither do I 😆 and I’m going full Albert Camus mode. Embracing the Absurdism of life just to cope, it’s the only choice I have left.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com i’m so sick of AI summaries they piss me tf off

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’d love to have a positive, optimistic reply to that, but … uhm … I don’t. 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ooh, I’ve got to bookmark that page. 😃

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I wish I had the luxury of not reading that junk. 😅 But instead, I have a Mutt hotkey that pipes an HTML mail through elinks … Bah.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m trying to call some libc functions (because the Rust stdlib does not have an equivalent for getpeername(), for example, so I don’t have a choice), so I have to do some FFI stuff and deal with raw pointers and all that, which is very gnarly in Rust – because you’re not supposed to do this. Things like that are trivial in C or even Assembler, but I have not yet understood what Rust does under the hood. How and when does it allocate or free memory … is the pointer that I get even still valid by the time I do the libc call? Stuff like that.

I hope that I eventually learn this over time … but I get slapped in the face at every step. It’s very frustrating and I’m always this 🤏 close to giving up (only to try again a year later).

Oh, yeah, yeah, I guess I could “just” use some 3rd party library for this. socket2 gets mentioned a lot in this context. But I don’t want to. I literally need one getpeername() call during the lifetime of my program, I don’t even do the socket(), bind(), listen(), accept() dance, I already have a fully functional file descriptor. Using a library for that is total overkill and I’d rather do it myself. (And look at the version number: 0.5.10. The library is 6 years old but they’re still saying: “Nah, we’re not 1.0 yet, we reserve the right to make breaking changes with every new release.” So many Rust libs are still unstable …)

… and I could go on and on and on … 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de > That guy over there in the corner…

I’m literally sitting in a corner chuckles. I rarely get any emails nowadays. But if I do and it is not plain-text, then my Mutt gets to bark at it and I, just… won’t read it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de make that 4 people! i use plain text when i can because this page convinced me lmfao

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha 😂 This is gold! I’ve been following along with our ramblings on Rust. What’s it gone and done to you now? 🤔 I don’t think I can ever be friends personally, I feel “too stupid” to learn Rust 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org :‘-(

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Na, I’m too old for this shit.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. :-( But hey, there are at least six of us using mail as it should be™. :-)

I sent the dealer an e-mail about that with all sorts of other issues as well. Let’s see if they fix anything of that some day. Or yet just even read it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … because you, me, and that guy over there in the corner are the only three people left using plain-text email. 🫤 (And probably Stallman.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I like this idea 👌 Very neat!

@bmallred@staystrong.run Oh sorry I should have explained those terms 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net nice… had to look up “Lamarckian” :-)

@bmallred@staystrong.run Ahhh this is an agent I’m tryining to play the game of Connect3. It uses a library written in Go I’ve been working on that supports Neuroevolution using Genetic Algorithms. Some features include: Mutation, Speciation, Lamarckian Evolution/Inheritence.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i linked the normal length edit instead of the full 15 minute music video because i’m not gonna subject you all to that amount of my bullshit

(…15 minute version is a great watch though)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz thats awesome. my kids still love playing it.

@prologic@twtxt.net what do we have here?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org those are so annoying. except when they’re idol tiktoks then they’re fine to me

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Rust is so different and, at the same time, so complex – it’s not far fetched to assume that I simply don’t understand what’s going on here. The docs appear to be clear, but alas … is it a bugs in the docs? Is it a lack of experience on my part? Who knows.

By the way, looks like there was a bit of a discussion regarding that name:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120048

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lol, what the hell!? Reports like that turn me away even more from iron oxide. Also, great naming choice on the method they made there. display() doesn’t actually display it. But it’s a Rust thing.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I HOPE SO TOO!!! when i found out there were boxes on ebay i just had to jump on it!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hell yeah!
