  • It saddens me that the best to have compatibility is to never touch MS Office. They are the largest player by far. Subtly fucking up or deviating from open document standards will always be seen as "well, the issue is non MS office".

  • I was surprised to see two games called Knightfall. Not the one you're referring to (assuming it was a typo), is a 2D dungeon crawler, and came out in 2017, with 13 reviews.

    Huh, interesting that it's OK to have such a similar name. Maybe it's all OK until someone complains.

  • I don't know... I've been using ChatGPT4. I use it only where the knowledge it outputs is not important. It's good when I need help with language related things, as more of a writing assistant. Creative stuff is also OK, sometimes even impressive.

    With facts? On moderately complicated topics? I'd say it gets something subtly wrong about 80% of the time, and very obviously wrong 20%. The latter isn't the problem.

    I don't understand where the "intelligent" part would even come in. Sure, it requires a fair level of intelligence to understand and generate human language responses. But, to me, all I've seen fits: generate responses that seem plausible as responses to the input.

    If intelligence requires some deeper understanding of the world, and the facts and relationships between them, then I don't see it. It's just a coincidence when it looks like it happened. It's impressive how often that is, but it's still all it is.

  • If anyone wants to recreate this. I'm 99% the best way to go about this is:

    1. Buy two identical fluffy toys.
    2. Take pictures of cute little puppy with fluffy toy.
    3. Hide one of the toys away 1-2 years.
    4. Take pictures of cute doggo with the not-destroyed fluffy toy.
  • Don't know why you were downvoted. In any case, all terminals can be configured to start with a specific command and arguments. So, depending on your terminal, you might need to read the documentation, and/or search the web.

    In alacritty config, this is:

     
        
    shell:
      program: <CMD>
      args:
        - <ARGS>
    
      

    Then one of these:

    1. <CMD> is the path to tmux, and you have configured tmux to run the shell of your choice. Search the web for how.
    2. <CMD> is the path to your shell, and it supports launching in tmux. Search the web for how.

    For me, it's the second one. I use fish, and I launch it with fish --command=tmux. So the above config looks like this:

     
        
    shell:
      program: /usr/bin/fish
      args:
        - --command=tmux
    
      
  • Alacritty, launching tmux with fish shell. The latter shell could easily have been zsh. But a good and fast terminal w/tmux is such a nice thing to have.

    Any time to wish you had bothered with tmux, is when it's already too late. If you go for this, you'll never look back.

  • Absolutely. Those you suggest there are good examples.

    Good enough that, instead of "is/isn't" programming language, it would be more a "ah, so, how do you define that then?". Now that I've had some sleep, one could argue that I could have been nicer and suggested that approach for HTML as well. After all, it's just words that mean stuff, and transfer a concept between people, that translate to the same (ish) idea. The moment the latter isn't the case, it's no longer very useful for the former.

    Most disagreements, I find, are just cases of different understandings. Discussions worth having is when both are correct but different, and both want to figure out why they differ. So, on second thought, I think I was appropriately rude _

    Both LaTeX and roff are Turing complete, but they are also DSLs with a somewhat narrow "domain". Sounds exactly right that these blur the lines between what is/isn't. You could even argue that claiming one or the other is just one way to express how you understand that difference.

  • That's such a weird point to make. Is it because to you, it seems like the line drawn is arbitrary? I cannot imagine any other reason. Certain words just mean certain things.

    Markup languages are exactly as much "programming" as you marking a word and hitting "bold". Which is to say, nothing at all. People are wrong all the time, and I have a very limited amount of fucks to give when it happens.

    As for Scratch, it is a programming language. So, why would you think it's a logical next step for me to say otherwise? Next, you'll say something remarkably dumb in response. Resist the temptation, and do something more productive.

  • Not really. If so, you might as well consider the stuff you can use to format a comment here on lemmy, as "programming". That's conceptually more similar to HTML as what programming actually is.

    Etc.

  • First thing you mention is such a fun and useful exercise. But as you point out, way overkill. Might even be dangerous to expose it. I got mine to 20kb on top of busybox.

    There is something that tickles the right spots when a complete container image significantly smaller than the average js payload in "modern" websites.

  • It's when I gave up on US politics. If only it was such that Hillary won... and not that DNC actively conspired to make that happen.

    As messed up and anti-democratic so many things are in the US leading to "pick one of two things". The whole system is fundamentally broken when the selection of those two things is corrupt.

    But... when a person I wouldn't trust to be mentally suited to pack a bag of groceries or park a car, is elected president, and gets to pick several supreme court justices... The world isn't laughing at the US. They were laughing at the thought of Trump being in he primaries. They're deeply concern that a complete fuckwit ended up in charge, and what that might lead to.

    Democracy (i.e. the system of governance) requires informed voters. GOP (the political party) requires uninformed voters.

    The only way you can vote Republican or think that the orange baboon can be entrusted with anything more important than throw feces, is one of two thing (or both): 1) you are an idiot / uninformed 2) you are morally corrupt

    : this isn't a put down directed at people who do these things, but that it requires some mental function in order to not crash the car, or steal some groceries... and I would be equally comfortable with Trump in that regard, as with a 6 year old. Which is to say: not at all. Which puts in perspective what I think of him being president.

  • With just little bit of formatting, it would communicate the information infinitely better. Why don't people make the minimal effort, once, when not doing leads to each and everyone having to figure out what the fuck it's actually trying to say.

    Apologies. I'm grumpy after a three hour meeting.

  • I used to watch a lot of different anime during late teens for some years. All of Naruto, Death Note, Monster, Bleach, Code Geass, Sword Art Online, Cowboy Bebop, Madoka, One Punch, Steins;Gate, Samurai X, Attack on Titan, Full metal alchemist, , etc, are just the ones that come to mind.

    Recently I thought back on this, and how many shows came out season after season, that I really enjoyed. I wondered how many shows must have come out in the last ten years since I stopped paying attention because of, life.

    The first one I thought of giving a go was Frieren. I don't know if it's me that changed, or that it just isn't for me. Either of which are fine. But I just couldn't get into it. It seemed so utterly boring.

    Not sure what my point is... Maybe to ask if it makes sense regarding Frieren, and whether it gets good after some episodes, or of it just isn't for me any more.

    Maybe also to ask for other recommendations from anyone who might feel the same.
