@vaartis kids this day, back then we were merely just clopping, more innocent times I guess. .... .

@lebronjames75 I Have No Chords but I Must Pick
@lain @i @sanek @VD15 looked at the source code of Honk last month and giggled at how idiosyncratic the naming choice was
@lain feet
@vaartis The translation was published over here in January 2025 and still in the front row of the big local bookshop, France is a weeb country though
@vaartis I found his style to be more tolerable in his autobiographical book about running. The City and Its Uncertain Walls has similar premises than Hard boiled... but I don't like love story (and I just spoiled myself reading the last words of the synopsis)
@vaartis I have a good memory of Hard-boiled wonderland, possibly because I didn't mind his very "rambling" writing style that I grew to dislike in the shorter stories I read later. The way the elements constituting the full story converges over the course of the book is very nice
@lebronjames75 @icedquinn @hj really hope it get out of early access in a reasonable time frame because Adaca was very good
@vaartis The Walking Man and Solitary Gourmet by Taniguchi, it's very contemplative and peaceful
@phnt I also have those issues with the Firefox filepicker when browsing my pictures folder with around 5k funnies (time flies). I never looked deeply into it but it's very annoying. Chromium doesn't seem to behaves like this
@lebronjames75 @twinspin6 offline game yes, I'll keep Godot in mind but since my total gamedev experience is limited to modding a house in Morrowind and moving a .BMP dude on a grid with SDL 15 years ago I'll go with the simplest solution
@lebronjames75 @twinspin6 this looks extremely cool, I've been eyeing love2D lately as a base framework for a rogue-likeoïd and I would like it to look exactly like this (colorful ASCII tileset akin to Brogue). thumb up
@ZRDR_DelRio @yonle @Pi_rat @Suiseiseki @lain @jeff @RoBu @takao yes it can be pretty insightful the shitposter dot world club is full of smarty pants
@lain tempted to see if they sell some in the big town, there is like 0 German beer on the market around here, only Belgian triple and infinite amount of IPA
@lain fockin finally
@lain the EU wouldn't allow it and hits AI with a BIG FINE
@lain @harblinger Judging by what I can read on the WWW it seems Mistral quickly lost popularity a bit after they released their pro paid service, I don't understand exactly why but I guess it's just that everything else on the market is just noticeably more performant (it's obvious compared to Sonnet). I'll try Codex today to write the missing tests from my program
@lain @harblinger So far I had better success by using Claude or Mistral as a "consultant" for when I have doubts about how I should implement something or how to rewrite part of the program I knew to be shoddy. I learned a lot by doing that. I set up gpt.el in Emacs for code and tend to use the web interfaces for questions that don't need a lot of context
The code produced by Mistral Vibe was getting a bit sloppy toward the end, like if it started missing some of the context along the way. I did nothing special regarding the feedback loop so that's most likely the issue
I did not try anything by OpenAI or Google yet, surely I must miss out but I slowly catch up with the new world
Currently trying Mistral Vibe to see if it can autonomously write the missing pieces for a Go project I'm sick to work on: HTTP handlers, missing bits from the "service" layer, entry point, and a few things in between.
It's a basic ass web service (a KMS over a set of plain text notes) so not a daunting task compared to what I read other people do with agentic AI but it's scifi-tier to see a bot writing valid code, testing and fixing what's wrong.
It produced me a compilable project while I was writing (so 5min top). It 404, but this still blows my mind.
