Good point! I’ll just update my ID and use wealthsimple or something.

I don’t care if it’s traced. I’ll check out Bisq. Thanks stranger.

I wish I had my ID so I could register to buy some bitcoin…

What about my inaugural fund???

But I would still have to run the code and make sure its sound.

Oh I don’t get it to write code for me. I just get it to explain stuff.

I’ve had two useful applications of “AI”.

One is using it to explain programming frameworks, libraries, and language features. In these cases it’s sometimes wrong or outdated, but it’s easy to test and check to make sure if it’s right. Extremely valuable in this case! It basically just sums up what everybody already said, so it’s easier and more on-point than doing a google search.

The other is writing prompts and getting it to make insane videos. In this case all I want is the hallucinations! It makes some stupid insane stuff. But the novelty wears off quick and I just don’t care any more.

It’s real and it’s dangerous, but it’s also fake and it sucks.

This will be a game changer for idiots.

Like Elon Musk, the richest man ever who is best friends with the president?

Insane take.

Paying is optional at most Canadian convenience stores. Because Canada is fully communist. And the hospitals pay you!

What a stupid, useless toy.

No they weren’t lol. They’re nothing but a gimmick. I know there’s a lot of good programming in there… but I doubt it solves any problems. It’s basically a walking NFT.

Instances plural? Are there other instances?

I’m probably not going to read the article. But there’s currently just one bluesky instance, so it’s 100% centralized, not decentralized at all.

Jack was talking about the “protocol” at one point… I don’t think that matters at all right now. It’s just another social media site!

Narayama Murthy was a mistake.

Tens of thousands of radioactive fuel fragments escaped from the Dounreay plant between 1963 and 1984, polluting local beaches, the coastline and the seabed. Fishing has been banned within a two-kilometre radius of the plant since 1997.

Since 2008, over 2,300 radioactive particles have been recovered from the seabed, with 351 removed by a remotely operated underwater vehicle this summer.

The most radioactive of the particles are regarded by experts as potentially lethal if ingested. Similar in size to grains of sand, they contain caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, but they can also incorporate traces of plutonium-239, which has a half-life of over 24,000 years…

The plant’s operator at the time, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, was fined £140,000.

Oh that’ll teach em.

I still think we should replace much of our fossil-fuel energy with nuclear, but let’s never call it “green.” Energy comes at an extremely high cost. This kind of thing makes it hard to advocate for nuclear (although I think we have safer methods now).

That’s really amazing. Their joke article was hilarious even as a joke. But the fact that they really bought it is beautiful.

I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it’s real?

Ok. I just read the wiki and it’s interesting. What’s a good resource for learning deeper about ECS?

I forgive them. English is a complex beast.

Would you make a game with functional programming? Or anything with a GUI?
