W4ME Station brings unmodified WASM-4 cartridges to CLDC 1.1 / MIDP 2.0 devices, including feature phones from the mid 2000s. github.com/mulfyx/w4me-... #fantasyconsole #gamedev #webassembly #java
At Edgelord.AI we just released a SOTA model that gives so little of a fuck about your instructions that it will actively fight against them, erase your data, and occasionally murder your friends. Here's our prompting guide to make the most of it:
Thousands of middle-aged engineers are going through an identity crisis because of AI: it's the android-pause.
all you read these days is AI grifters, a good old programming language community flame war feels so refreshing now
I, too, have been using computer software to write 100% of my code for several years now
Attention, Runners! We have a new promo out! This is the first video we've released for Zombies, Run! in a really long time, and we're excited to share it. Raise the gates!
if you are not conditionally branching, unconditionally jumping and read/writing to an infinite tape your agents, you are never gonna achieve turing equivalency
people seem to forget that before GitHub there was way more friction to contribute to an open source project. is it sad we are going back to that? sure. is there something we can do about it? maybe. for now, it is what it is

everything is a bytecode-targetable virtual machine if you look at it sideways. JBIG2 image decompression? virtual machine. x86 mov instruction? virtual machine. truetype fonts? virtual machine. Magic: The Gathering? believe it or not, also virtual machine.
so given the last 10 years or so have been dominated by things that use "tokens", my prediction is that the next groundbreaking discovery will be either petri nets or parsers we are so back guys

A bunch of engineers spending a couple decades denigrating any field involved with soft squishy feelings has led to the literal inability to craft a narrative the average human wouldn't recoil from in horror.
the overwhelming message the AI industry has sent to young people is “this will ruin any chance you have at a stable career”, of course college grads are booing it regardless of the reality of the claims, the way this technology has been sold is one of the greatest self-inflicted PR disasters ever
I do have a question though, couldn't they just rewrite Claude Code in Rust, instead of acquiring Bun? 🤔
