tasuki

I dunno about proving, but 20% income tax + 20% vat + property taxes + estate tax + the various extra taxed thing like gas etc, and you're easily over half.

Perhaps you just didn't push it far enough: I took a 90% pay cut and am happy with it :)

Pi is not "some mayfly LLM third-tier coding agent" - in the brief research I've done, it's the best positioned to survive: it's small and the creator has shown good taste (something that can't be said about the creators of Claude Code).

Huh. The person you're replying to specifically mentioned they connect to the same tmux session from different computers. Niri is great, but how's it relevant here?

Likewise you haven't disproven my thesis that China is not closed to immigrants.

A good friend of mine (white European) was approached by a Chinese company and now works in China. I'll ask him how hard the paperwork was the next time I meet him, but I have a feeling his employer did the bulk of it.

It's like bragging that you took 10,000 steps to reach the store by walking in circles when you could have taken 500 steps if you just walked straight. The end result is the same.

The case is different with LoC though: the more the worse. I'd much maintain the thing written in 500 lines than the one written in 10,000 lines.

China is not very immigration friendly to non-han folks

What do you mean? I've never been to China, but know quite a few non-han white Europeans who lived there for both shorter and longer periods of time. Some studied, others worked there.

What's up with the dercuano, derctuo, and dernocua naming? Are there just these three? Does the naming follow some pattern?

FYI the name is Mario Zechner[0]. I'm also grumpy and old and also use Pi for the same reasons as you. I also use an OpenAI subscription (the models aren't entirely bad), but am ready to jump ship to OpenCode Go or GLM Coding Plan any minute. And I've been watching the Claude Code shitshow with glee!

Why would anyone be using Fable, Opus or even Sonnet for that type of work? You don’t need an advanced reasoning model for that at all.

Don't leave me hanging: how do you frob a qux a certain number of radians?

I almost fell off my chair! Elm is easily my favourite language, and I didn't think it'd ever get another update. Thanks Evan!

It looks slightly worse to me. Slightly worse and not even ubiquitous?

[Edit:] There's h1 and h2, who'd ever need h3? You gotta be kidding me!

I agree with you that it's a long term problem. I won't stop until London is under a mile-high glacier!

it will take millennia for the climate to return to normal

No. There is no such thing as "normal" climate. It's ever changing. We're just making the change a whole lot faster.

No idea, but the five tibetan rites were also recommended to me with 21 repetitions. Perhaps it's an Eastern thing.

A shame indeed. Perhaps you should report it to the creators of Pangram? And perhaps you should stop shilling for bullshit AI detectors that don't (and can't) work?

Thank you for the explanation!

If RedHat doesn't choose to

You still don't get it: Canonical didn't choose to include a newer version in their 24.04 release.

What's wrong with 5.7.0+ds2-3build1 ?

We both disagree with rsyring but I disagree with you even more! :D

Installing from source code is hard! There's always some broken dependencies and these days I just cba.

I'd sooner go complain on the internet than install a thing from the source code!

That's on Ubuntu, and on you choosing to run an old version of Ubuntu, nothing to do with podman.

You're not alone in thinking it, but the other people are just similarly confused. The last reply to that thread explains the situation well[0].

As long as they refuse to support installing on Ubuntu (and other popular distros), without relying on the distro repos which are always out of date, they will continue to lose to Docker.

Your needs are incomprehensible to me: that is exactly why I use podman: a predictable version of it is in my distro's repos.

I go to docker.com and how do I even install the thing? What's "docker sandboxes"?

Get the latest version of docker? Why would I want the latest version? I don't want the latest version, I want the same version as my other machines have, so things work everywhere. And I usually don't know what version that is. But I sure do know what Debian version my other machines run!

Again, your needs are utterly incomprehensible to me.

This so much!

I recently found an old email thread by accident. I recoiled in horror: the vitriol was unbelievable, people name calling each other in the worst possible way. The same people are much more mature these days. The new people in the same community likewise. Times have changed: for the better.

but if you want to make a REAL difference as an entrepreneur why not look at parts of the country that are struggling

Why not parts of the world even? There are more countries than "the country". Some of us here aren't even from "the country".

Sometimes my projects “lack architectural complexity”

Well done you! It is difficult to avoid architectural complexity, but imho well worth it.

>I think so, too.

I was being sarcastic.

Yes I'm fully aware - I was just playing along.

I think so, too.

I've had woke people attempt to do me harm in the past, but the Gleam people didn't strike me as that kind of woke: they've been nothing but helpful.

If you think black lives don't matter, or that trans people deserve no rights, or support nazis... the Gleam community probably wouldn't want to have you.

I -- controversially -- think black lives matter and white lives matter. And everyone else too!

The dystopian future where no one owns cars is already being laid.

Pardon me?

We're living in the dystopian present, where most everyone has a car or several. Cities are crowded with cars -- both moving and parked -- and it's awful for humans who aren't cars.

I can't wait for the moment people switch to a subscription and the cars are shared and drive themselves. The streets will be just as full of moving cars, but at least the parked cars hopefully disappear, giving us more space for trees or sidewalks or anything but cars really.

She was happy to receive (a lot of) (dirty) Facebook money as an executive. Now she's turned against Facebook and does everything possible to get publicity. Yes maybe she's right. But also she's playing as dirty as Facebook.

Humans, the only examples of general intelligence we know

Our intelligence only seems "general" to us, because we're viewing it through our own eyes. Our "intelligence" is specialized to our survival, and we're terrible at most tasks outside that scope.
