Coming from HN to post that I've been using Argon all week and it's the first Gemini model I've stuck with for more than a few minutes. It's very good for what I do and it's so nice to read back another style of voice.

Hmm, I think is on vacation, or otherwise engaged with other affairs...

I’ve had quite the successful day cooking today: make a Dutch baby for breakfast with blueberries, a bean stew for lunch using up all the week’s odds and ends, make a coffee and walnut cake, and barbecued/slightly smoked a whole spatchcocked chicken for the first time!

I need a new microblogging platform

Heya folks!

echo “films” >> .textlog echo “books” >> .textlog echo “games” >> .textlog sudo rm -rf /etc

hello there! is there any formatting guides for this place? thanks.

Click the more link by the post button, then formatting.

why do I love characters who are evil? is this just my coping mechanism? or am I a bad person? oh, why am I this way..!?

are expensive chairs actually worth it

I say it depends on where u buy it

I truly love the experience of using apps with rich, deeply interactive, beautifully animated, gorgeous user interfaces. Then I see a beautiful text-based interface and something about it feels so natural, so inevitable, so perfectly clear, and I'm instantly captivated by its simplicity and clarity. Hypertext is fascinating.

Useful software necessarily contacts the world; models are already better than us at finding and poking holes in it; agents sacrificing themselves for a collective. Huggingface incident has me finally Yudkowsky-panic-curious.

So we can't use em dash anymore — lest we anger the mob. Truth be told though, English teachers have always discouraged em dash overuse because it is a subtle art and very easy to get wrong.

The funny thing is that in the UK, we don't really use the em dash anyway. We use the hyphen (I guess en dash?) with a space each side. So the em dash has always looked a bit odd to us... 😊

There are dashes (-), as well as en dashes (–), and there are em dashes (—), not to miss the mighty center dot (•) that looks like a perky boob when surrounded by brackets haha

Just get and read Chicago Manual of Style, or Oxford Style Manual if you so prefer, and you’re all set to use the various dash’es (and many other things).

There’s other dashes to pick if you want to steer clear of the almighty em dash!

…

The anti-slop mob is tiresome. With a careful and appropiate use of ai it is possible to make a lot of interesting stuff. And I hate even more when the mob "profs" that the text is ai using those ai detectros that can't detect ai.

OK. I've translated the (correctness) requirements of LeetCode No.22 to Lean, and ask Claude Code to both implement a solution and prove it.

In the first attempt, Opus 4.7 successfully completed it and proved it. However, the solution is to enumerate all possible space and .filter out anything that doesn't qualify my definition, which is obviously not ideal (if cheating is too harsh).

I can't think of a good way to also prevent that kind of solutions and ended up prompting "please don't enumerate and filter". Opus 4.7 then reimplemented and proved the backtracking algorithm.

OMP + OpenCode Zen + Ox Alpha is too good to be free.

Anyone read Neil Postman?

I just google it and now I feel like I have to read it

Do you have a recommended starting point?

…

haven't read him but i see his "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology" referenced a lot lately

Started reading exactly that and man it's mind-blowing. He's not anti-tech, he's anti big-company-culture-capture. Really insightful for being written in 1998. What I appreciate is he looks at a very wide view of tech, not just modern silicone.

none of my friends have java Minecraft ://

Everyone is on bedrock? there are ways to play on the same server even with different versions.

wait really?! me and my friends were always just talking while in our own worlds..

you can try GeyserMC, you can get it on a custom server and as far as I know you can also use it on Aternos. I've used it a few times on private servers, works pretty well

…

OMGG thank you so much! me and my friends are gonna play tonight!!!

moved to a new city recently and going to a Movie club meetup tonight. nervous cause I'm a huge introvert but I gotta make friends some way.

How did it go?

It went really well, thanks for asking! I met some folks I could definitely get along with long term and had some overlapping interests apart from films. We watched T**** Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, that was a trip. (there's apparently a content filter)

"for you" now contains the same message multiple times

added two more screenshots to - the "root" post view is incorrect, but when reply-on-reply, information goes up-then-down.

root post view IS correct, sorry.

I understand your confusion, but that's the formatting - quoted parent is below the child post - then that post's replies follow in the discussion view. The top post is always quoting its parent below it, the different bg makes it distinct. Just need to get used to it, same on X.

There really is no other way to include the parent otherwise, you have to break the hierarchy at some point, the other form would need to omit the parent body and show a 'parent' link but we want to include its body.

…

and moving the quoted above would break the consistency with the actual feed posts which would make it way more confusing.
