i think couple more years like this and we will have real dune mentats, rare people that can do incredible things with their minds. not because we'll figure out how to make brain of select people do that. because 99% of people will devolve further and be dumb as shit. like, figuring out what to eat, how to commute to the store, and how to get the ingredients without a chatbot will be something beyond what average person would be able to do.
cpp committee losing their shit over pre- and post- contracts and failing std26 vote is very on-brand. it's also the one feature that'd vastly improve the language so ofc we can't have it :neobot_woozy:
ah so sshole turns out to be bullshit, and i can't reproduce it with my alpine server too. could've guessed since the whole website is a load of slop too
it feels so good to mostly forget c++ metaprogramming things since i now deal more frequently with rust. CRTP, sfinae and all that hacking on top of a struggling language with conservative core that sacrifices every opportunity to have nice things for the sake of backwards compatibility, it’s just.. unfathomably bad. so glad to be out of it. and you don’t really realize it while you primarily engage only with that language
fun fact but reticulum has good enough bandwidth for low res video calls. it works through bluetooth and lora. here’s shork calling me through bluetooth.
you can call besties several kilometers away with a good enough antenna. through tcp too. there are some clients that have calls but no video, it’s a missing opportunity
(it’s not released and full of hacks, arriving some time 2027 if no one beats me to it) #neverslop
