@johanbove@johanbove.info hope all goes well. my Buddy did the same but alcohol was involved so that falls on him.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you are probably right.. there seems to be a final 10 trend found over on Reddit.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de tossing around inline ASM for the AoC..

@bmallred@staystrong.run this was a really fun run

In the holiday spirit i have donned my Santa hat. (shamelessly stolen from @movq@www.uninformativ.de)

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net I hate to break it to you but that’s not really “A” I?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I wish they just muted them out instead of making it an awfully loud meep sound.

@johanbove@johanbove.info i like this

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de s/twitter\.com/nitter.net/

@prologic@twtxt.net day 6 is super easy if you have int64 and some binomial theory. Skip ahead for the easy stars and catch up!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it shouldn’t need a full bignum implementation right? Just some left and right shifts for the sq/sqrt and carry for the addition right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It took a little over a minute on my machine.. i should try to make it multi threaded.. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net The “game” will involve racing and exploding cake - I think he got inspiration from SuperTuxKart. So will see how far we can go. He’s only five still..

@eapl.me@eapl.me I have many fond memories of Turbo pascal and Turbo C(++). They really did have a great help system. And debug tools! Its rare for language docs to be as approachable. QBasic was great. As was PHP docs when I first came into web.

@johanbove@johanbove.info With pygame or something else? 🤔

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz if you do see this.. Welcome back! 👋🏼

@movq@www.uninformativ.de haha! I’m sure they had fun working around stuff like nineight

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dang. Really going overboard with this!

@prologic@twtxt.net I didn’t have to do much backtracking. I parsed into an AST-ish table and then just needed some lookups.

The part 2 was pretty easy to work into the AST after.

https://git.sour.is/xuu/advent-of-code-2023/commit/c894853cbd08d5e5733dfa14f22b249d0fb7b06c

@xuu@txt.sour.is Ah, you went with the “scanning” approach as well. I did that, too.

It’s quite surprising to see (imho) how many people on reddit started substituting strings (one becomes 1 etc.). That makes the puzzle much harder by introducing nasty corner cases.

(Maybe I was just lucky this time to pick the correct approach right from the start. 🤣 Or maybe it’s a bit of experience from doing past AoC events …)

@prologic@twtxt.net oh snap!

@prologic@twtxt.net you must not have any friends with plex shares. I got one.

@prologic@twtxt.net I long ago moved my evernote content to joplin.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net I feel like this is a bit of a common pattern? Company builds an awesome product, makes it free for a lot of users, then create additional features and paid plans, makes a tonne of money. But then later decide they need to make more money, so focus on converting the free users to paid users. Hmmm 🤔 Surely this can’t be the only viable business model? 🤔

@eapl.me@eapl.me This is cool Windows history. Thanks for sharing

@darch@neotxt.dk webmentions are dispatched from here https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/internal/post_handler.go#L160-L169

@prologic@twtxt.net its not.. There are going to be 1000s of copy cat apps built on AI. And they will all die out when the companies that have the AI platforms copy them. It happened all the time with windows and mac os. And iphone.. Like flashlight and sound recorder apps.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess so. It’s weird and obsessive. They are compulsively monopolistic anymore.

@prologic@twtxt.net the going theory is that openAI announced a new product that pretty much blew up the project of one of the board members. So that board member got 3 others to vote to fire Sam.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I played that DOS Tetris game too over and over on my PC, mezmerized over the 3D graphics.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for reaching out - just general wonkiness with the Epson printing job configuration UI. They offer Fedora software, but it seems that not all features are supported

I have added a webmention endpoint to https://darch.dk using https://webmention.io - let see if it work from neotxt.dk to @sorenpeter@darch.dk

@Phys_org@feeds.twtxt.net We’re going to be killed by these people’s excesses, almost literally. This ratio is indefensible.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I lasted for a long time.. Not sure where or when it was “got”. We had been having a cold go around with the kiddos for about a week when the wife started getting sicker than normal. Did a test and she was positive. We tested the rest of the fam and got nothing. Till about 2 days later and myself and the others were positive. It largely hasn’t been too bad a little feaver and stuffy noses.

But whatever it was that hit a few days ago was horrible. Like whatever switch in my head that goes to sleep mode was shut off. I would lay down and even though I felt sleepy, I couldn’t actually go to sleep. The anxiety hit soon after and I was just awake with no relief. And it persisted that way for three nights. I got some meds from the clinic that seemed to finally get me to sleep.

Now the morning after I realized for all that time a part of me was missing. I would close my eyes and it would just go dark. No imagination, no pictures, nothing. Normally I can visualize things as I read or think about stuff.. But for the last few days it was just nothing. The waking up to it was quite shocking.

Though its just the first night.. I guess I’ll have to see if it persists. 🤞

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m also on the e-mail wagon here. On http://darch.dk/timeline/conv/oe3howa I have added a “Comment via email” botten if uses are not logged in. This feature could be extend to other places in the various UIs. Like we already got the “Does not follow your” / “Follow you” on the profile page in yarnd, so this detection could be used to sugget the user to email that person, when mentioning them.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Which problems are those? 🤔

The only “advanced” Tetris I played back then was “Block Out”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpeSH6pbio4

Except it didn’t run nearly as smooth as in this video. 😅

@johanbove@johanbove.info Sounds interesting. It is only for reading or also posting?

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net No it isn’t. The prejudice that playing board games is indicative of general intelligence is passe, outdated.

@prologic@twtxt.net I feel like my kid is a better weather predictor than most weather sites. He freaks out whenever the pressure drops and we know a storm is coming 😆

@xuu@txt.sour.is Right now they’re laying the groundwork for uncritical belief in the power of #AI, so the next step will be accepting the magical incantations as if they were real.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know but I don’t want it!

@eapl.me@eapl.me are ISPs still injecting code into HTTP in this the year 2023? I remember getting notices that my comcast modem is out of date pushed into websites back a decade ago.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci predicting weather is literally a step up from the 3 body problem into n-body chaos. AI is just statistics pushed up into chaos. The future of computing is indistinguishable from magical incantations

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net no it can’t. Your blurb is literally “if we had data we can’t have, we could predict weather better”. DeepMind is irrelevant in that statement–anyone could.

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net fuck off with this nightmare.

I think is part of the code by @eapl.me@eapl.me that I have based my project on. So try to ask him.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think we’re 90 meters above sea level or thereabouts. Pretty far north in the US though.

I just backed up my twtxt.txt data on a medium that will last for years if treated well: 4 sheets of paper.

@prologic@twtxt.net Perhaps we should add a meta flag to Twtxt to stop indexation by ChatGPT and consorts? I already use robots.txt for this.

@prologic@twtxt.net “who could possibly forget that” you could, apparently lol

@prologic@twtxt.net Any of these work? https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2023/05/15/bypass-ad-blockers-not-allowed-on-youtube/
