anotheryou··on 39th Chaos Communication Congress Videos
Well that discussion talk is not an open discourse about the situation...

He quoted what he believed was scientific evidence in a private conversation that became public, has comments on fashism being efficient are clearly anti-facist and believed to observe a gender stereotype. No matter if the facts were true, it should be possible to discuss such things (especially those you think are facts) in private without getting canceled. Even if they would play in to the hand of racism or sexism if made as public statements.

I found his appology a bit weak, but I also don't see his offense, despite the messages in public being offensive and possibly harmful.

Ironic ally at some point it will just be anti-indy.

anotheryou··on A One-Minute ADHD Test
What helps me is doing small prep steps.

E.g. doing a rough structure and hen it feeds my brain in the background, helps when the burst comes :)

It's not that much the deadlines for me though, really just need to have good days where I suddenly lock in.

Also helpful: boring "entertainment". Stops me from browsing twitter, boring enough to peel myself away from very easily again. E.g. twitch streams or sitting outside.

anotheryou··on A One-Minute ADHD Test
haha, how much I relate to your quote... I so much feel like running on 70pp brain most of the time and am blessed with 130pp bursts to compensate.
anotheryou··on A One-Minute ADHD Test
Good coping mechanisms easily mask those answers though, no?

And some questions feel true for everyone *looking around*.

I don't think I have ADHD, but could go either way on half the questions based on whether I include my helpers or not.

anotheryou··on WorldGen – Text to Immersive 3D Worlds
It's more like a 3D asset generator sprinkling them across a generic landscape. The "World" part falls a bit short, the rounded 3D not even that good.

anotheryou··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
What about a friend trying to support someone in dark times?

I'd call the cops on them* at some point to stop them from harming themselves and I'd never say what ChatGPT said here, but I'd still talk to them trying to help, even without being a therapist. I can recommend a therapist, but it's hard to reach people in that state. You got to make use of the trust they gave you.

anotheryou··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
I agree, I just wonder if that interaction had come about.
anotheryou··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
I'm in no way saying proper help wouldn't be better.

Maybe in the end ChatGPT would be a great tool to actually escalate on detecting a risk (instead of an untrue and harmful text snippet and a phone number).

anotheryou··on Parents say ChatGPT encouraged son to kill himself
How do you feel about the chat logs here?

I have to wonder: would the suicide have been prevented if chatGPT didn't exist?

Because if that's not at least a "maybe", I feel like chatGPT did provide comfort in a dire situation here.

Probably we have no way not at least saying "maybe", but I can imagine just as well, that chatGPT did not accelerate anything.

I wished we could see a fuller transcript.

anotheryou··on A startup’s quest to store electricity in the ocean
right? really badly explained visually (no matter how visible the tanks are in reality)
anotheryou··on A startup’s quest to store electricity in the ocean
platforms are on stilts, no? Quite different from floating. But yea, seems doable.
anotheryou··on A startup’s quest to store electricity in the ocean
Do I get this right?

- they concentrate salt water once to get "heavier than sea water" brine. Hope not chlorinated.

- it's then a closed system shuffling between bottom and top tank(s)

- everything floating is soft, so no strong forces unless a wave crashes on top

- advantage of ocean: "free standing" within height/depth margins, free water for initial fill

And really not visible in the video:

- the disk you see floating is a V shaped bladder with the storage in the V below surface and floatation sprinkled all around and segmented in to "cake wedges".

anotheryou··on Who needs Graphviz when you can build it yourself?
looking at the spagetti: neither is readable, but I'd say wonky graphviz wins because you have a chance following some of the lines.

I love how bitwig solved it: gravity, color coding, stiffness, directionality (ins on the left, outs on the right).

anotheryou··on The AI coding trap
But the feedback cycle wait time and the communication workload is almost eliminated.
anotheryou··on The AI coding trap
This omits the deep knowledge required for traditional coding. This opens up coding to non devs, e.g. product managers.

For vibe coding you need systems thinking, planning and logic, but less craftmansship.

For PO's the chart looks different, here the traditional flow contains: "polish concepts, make mocks, make stories, dailies, handovers, revisions, waiting for devs busy with other things"

The vibing PO has none of that.

Not saying this is sustainable for big projects already, but it is for ever growing "small" projects (especially if it's a techincal PM that can code a bit). It's just so much faster without devs -_-.

Disclaimer: I am such a PO. What I now wonder: how can I mix vibe coding and properly developed foundations (ai assisted, but not 99% vibed). One answer in my view is splitting services in vibecoded and core, but dependencies on the core already slow you down a lot. Curious to hear how others mix and match both.

What I actually do right now:

- fullstack PoC vibecoded

- specifications for core based on PoC findings

- Build proper vibecoded V1 mocking what moves to core. But here already a more structured vibecoding approach too.

- replace mocks with actual core

Not yet done but planned: build throwaway PoC in a branch of the core so I can also vibe on top of the core directly, including modification of the core.

anotheryou··on What are OKLCH colors?
you think I can get the same OKLCH style colors but without banding?

if I sample 5 colors and throw them in as rgb?

the 3 color rgb one has very similar banding

anotheryou··on What are OKLCH colors?
my biggest problems with OKLCH:

- how to easily add "warmth". you can't just add red+green - no good tools for it (e.g. a nice gradient picker ui that lets me specify if I want to allow running out of bounds of teh color space and clip a few colors at max saturation)

anotheryou··on What are OKLCH colors?
RGB is just allways worst OKLCH usually pretty, which is all I want from gradients most of the time.

I had claude build me a comparison (not sure why 2x the same HSL one) https://i.imgur.com/uziQibR.png

Also super hard in RGB: https://jsfiddle.net/nhgvzm5p/2/ it's just a 2 color OKLCH gradient:

    oklch(0 0.07 279) 66%,
    oklch(0.98 0.09 276) 99%
anotheryou··on Why LLMs can't really build software
Maybe we should let it build a mental model in documentation markdown files?

Vibing I often let it explain the implemented business logic (instead of reading the code directly) and judge that.
