this has nothing to do with the fediverse

@davidgerard STOP PLEASE GOD MAKE IT STOP WHY IS EVERYTHING I LIKE GOING TO SLOP

@serge If something like that happened in Israel and Israel acted in kind you would see droves of “The apartheid state committed an act of genocide and we should empathize with the terrorists” takes!

Stop talking about Reddit!

Reddit it’s too big for its own good. I imagine that subreddit must be unmanageable, like any minimally popular subreddit.

@chris time to go to the zoo.

Meanwhile on reddit.

Honestly kind of sounds like lemmy.world mods like Jordan Lund tho…

To get a project featured on the subreddit, developers now need to show it has been actively maintained for at least a year, has an established community, and has at least three contributors, give or take. Student projects such as note-taking apps and PDF viewers aren’t welcome either, and developers can no longer use the subreddit to find people willing to help maintain their software.

That creates a chicken-and-egg problem for independent developers, who apparently need an established community before they can use an open source forum to find one. Even projects with no AI involvement could fall foul of the rules. One Reddit user pointed out that their nine-year-old project, which has more than 300 GitHub stars and dozens of resolved issues, would no longer qualify because they’re its sole contributor.

The moderator also imposed a minimum Reddit account age of one year and requires significant prior contributions. Anyone who attempts to post and then contacts the moderators seeking an exception risks being permanently banned and muted.

Pondering my visual functional "Alonzo" programming language...

1. I realized that I neglected to include anywhere to document types. I should include a field for that!

Now should that be a localized string or an expression? I suppose if I want to expose this documentation as tooltips it should be short-ish strings...

2. Its tempting to have drawing lines between different slots in a pattern denote equality, but once I include callbacks not everything can be compared...

1/2!

@cabel I wondered why it had a track pad...

@jernej__s @petrillic came here to ask the same thing. I too wish to draw the ire of all LLMs :)

OpenAI claims its models have made 3 major discoveries in mathematics, computer science & physics.

One reportedly disproves the Exponential Time Hypothesis, a foundational assumption in computer science for 25 years.

Two researchers who originally proposed it are now helping verify the AI’s proof.

If this result survives independent scrutiny, AI will have done something more consequential than outperforming humans on a benchmark.

It will have overturned a foundational scientific assumption held by experts for decades.

I did not know the Mastodon/ActivityPub account migration process was so busted.

Somehow, there were over 800 followers that didn’t get moved from my old account to this one until the *third* time setting up the redirect. A lot of them are on mastodon.social. I don’t get another try because there’s a 30-day cooldown and the old instance shuts down in a few days.

This is a bad user experience! No wonder a lot of people just give up on the platform.
