Funny, I need an LLM to figure out what most people consider "readable" python as its highly unreadable to me. The lack of types, top to bottom flow, and more tends to make it all very confusing for me to read anything python that's > ~1000loc

I asked claude if it thought openclaw was better. It said it didn't know what openclaw was.

I mean best of luck policing this is all I'm going to say. We will soon be back to the "core contributors only" kind of policy in many projects I imagine to avoid the slop spam. The verification will be at the conferences.

I'm not sure how you could really take a stance on this. If someone used the tool to expedite work its unlikely you'd ever know it.

If you use the tool to yeah, go one shot a ton of garbage then it will in fact be garbage.

radicle.xyz also does the distributed/seeded forge setup and I think does a nice job of it already.

I wonder if radicle.xyz will start taking off, as there is no corporate entity hanging over its head, and never likely will be.

GitHub lost its way right around the time it was bought by a large corporate entity.

Had they remained independent I have no doubt it'd be a very different story.

It all runs better with Linux, Linux isn’t wasting cycles spying on me.

NixOS can be all of these things given a nix expression to make it so

The thing here is I doubt many people care that it’s a little slower. The price point makes it an excellent computer without a decent operating system.

The alternative is a crappy computer with a horrible operating system.

Exactly this. I love Apple tells you it’s a big Trojan in effect that can do anything. Yeah no thanks.

Oh yeah no... its still terrible even without all the spyware.

First experience of Windows 11, trying to download a file through firefox caused my 18 core 10980xe to have the entire UI freeze for the full time the download was going.

Reverted back to windows 10 immediately and the problem went away.

Windows 11 is full of spyware from the Mothership

Funnily it probably runs Windows better than the typical corporate spyware burdened x86 laptop.

Aaaand I cancelled.

Open Source is not Free Support, the sooner this reality sets in (accelerated surely by AI spam) the sooner we get to the happy place.

It’s the taxi app wars all over. Yes Claude is great. But how many people are going pay once the subsidies are over?

Like uber I believe current pricing is heavily subsidized by capital investment. The investors likely believe the bot with the users is a winner.

The real winner will be the good enough bot with customer hardware and scale to run it cheaply. There’s exactly one current contender as far as I know with both.

C isn't really the protocol though, its just a way every language has of exporting simple symbols. Otherwise how else does this work, you'd never every language to understand every other languages symbol name encoding scheme, some of which are complete jibberish (I'm looking hard your way C++).

The real protocol in action here is symbolic linking and hardware call ABIs.

You could always directly call Rust functions, but you'd have to know where to symbolically look for them and how to craft its parameters for example.

If this is well defined then its possible. If its poorly defined or implementation specific (c++) then yeah its a shit show that is not solvable.

I which no one cares about. As a 1% player having a convoluted C++ centric stack when the 99% player has something different e ouch porting requires critical thinking means no one gives a damn about it.

ZLUDA has more interest that SyCL and that should say it all right there.

Intel focused on SyCL which not many people seem to actually care about. It looks far enough removed from CUDA you’d have to think hard about porting things as well. From what I understand ROCm looks very close to CUDA.

It's bad it really is, I got fed up and rolled back to windows 10 when I tried downloading a file and the whole UI locked up until the file finished. On my own personal high performance desktop with tons of memory, cpus, etc etc. Never saw this in Windows 10. Certainly never saw it in modern Linux.

SpywareOS couldn’t even be bothered to allow text editor functionality, wasn’t in the KPIs of user activity monitoring and monetizing

Perhaps its because SpywareOS is being written by Copilot with zero supervision by a bunch of monkeys with keyboards bashing away? WorstOS ever.

This list is longer than the features in all of C I feel like at first glance. Wow that is overwhelming.

This is a great project. The cli makes it easy to create and share a project.

My friend this is the comment section, surely this could be said in fewer words

Tl;Dr

More like windows market share will continue to erode from hostility towards the customer. Who wants SpywareOS 11 with AI-fail on the side while it locks up and freezes the ui on my 16 core machine because it was downloading a file off the internet. It’s abysmal quality control, likely derived from AI centered development and KPIs about user activity monitoring rather than stability, usability, and performance.

Claude is ok. Gas town seems like a Claude multiplier. I’m not sure more Claude is what I’d even want!

Not sure I love what it does all the time, it tends to fit whatever box you setup and will easily break out if you aren’t veeeery specific. Is it better than writing a few thousand lines of code myself that I deeply understand that can debug and explain? I don’t know yet. I think it’d be good for writing functions one at a time with massive supervision.

It’s great for writing scripts and things where precision and correctness outside the success path isn’t really needed. If a script fails and it wasn’t deleting a hard drive who cares. If my embedded code fails out in a product in the wild this is a much bigger nuisance and potentially fatal for the device (not the humans) which is wasteful.

If you can’t understand ownership I’m baffled how you believe you can write well behaved C or C++.

Rust at least embeds this information in the API with checks. C and C++ are doc comments at best.

AI already fighting the humans for control of the machine

I guess returning to the office isn't so great. Pointy hair bosses rage everywhere.

But beyond driving less, surely eating further down the foodchain helps as well. Plants and shellfish are efficient. Cows are not. Eat fewer burgers and a few more lentils and mussels. Unless you are RFK Jr then of course please eat lots and lots of fatty cow, tallow, butter. Go full on Atkins please and follow right behind him.
