Nanobanana 2 with imagw assets of 3 logos and fat man cartoon & prompt: The 3D android logo but his body is a prison bar cage, inside is sqeeyed the fat guy and a pillow with the youtube logo on it. The cage is way too small and tight. The fat guy reaches out with one arm between the bars, arm and fingers fully stretched out to towards a pack of potato chips with the blue&geen fdroid logo on it. Fat guy makes a desperate and exhausted face due to not reaching despite trying for a ling time. Overall scene background is liminal, a place that gives the feeling one should not be there. Style of the scene is matching to that.

Reminder that google is about to "sunset" the right to install any app you want by an draconian lockdown targeting/bullying the developers. They called it sideloading to make you feel normal installing is shady. Now they wanna end it for good. Ahem bad. VERY bad consequences.

Cool. Bit far from Vienna though. Maybe I'll manage some time.

There so many videos on functional programming on this channel that I eventually wanna watch. Putting it here as a note to self partly.

Fun with the ball but I think the hand-shaking one was a better balance between sillyfun & practical.

Don't Use Any AI Agents or Browsers Until You Watch This YouTube video by Internet of Bugs

Good reminder video AI usage safety:

And I also mean: Avoiding the less effort option that nowadays more people take. I.e. building upon one of the few in the end ephemeral (big tech) platforms that do that en💩ification and eventual sunsetting for you.

With "becoming possible"
I mean there'll be no need to:
Make one huge life decision investment (perhaps even start a company) to put it together maintain it and then eventually be forced to fund it by growing ad integration that in the end only en💩ifies it to oblivion.

I.e. no more growing cost with growing user base as everyone brings more than sufficient amount of their own resources.

Maybe an infinitely scalable P2P pong (as MVP for whatever other old arcade game classic or also serious work tool) is now becoming finally possible with this. I.e. …

This could seriously squash a big part of the cause of the "if you don't pay you are the product" false dilemma.

That's about the only article that pops up with a quick websearch. Images reference say Deutsche Bahn and Tf KD. Didn't help me finding more info. AI found nothing either. Not saying not real, saying IDK. I lack sufficient consillience here. And 😱ed everyone is taking it at face value.

AI edited image, looks real but is not.

This was the second of two image that nanobanana spat out. First try one shot. Zero cherry picking.

AI edited image (nanobanana). Looks real but is not.

Source? Anyone can make that image with things like nanobanana these days. Here with under a minute of effort I asked "change the chickens to a cow" and it spit back this waay to realistic fake:

I had only barely skimmed over the intro. Analogy may not go beyond cell based async parallel evaluated purely functional live coding.
Will read in more detail one I find some more time.

Coming to mind:
Where would one put algepraic effects in the
Currry Howard Lambeck correspondence/isomorphism?
It might not be possible.
Ok, not that this mapping is easy for monads and applicative beyond simple stuff like monoids. Darn. Deep rabbithole.

Maybe algebraic effects could be a viable alternative to monads & applicatives in your case. Maybe these would be easier to implement in your setting?
(+) They removes the often arbitrary lifting hierarchy.
(-) They feel less discovered and more invented though.
Not so sure on these points yet.

As for monads for better understanding their structural essence (not their varied use cases) what helped me the most was sketching them out as annotated lambda diagrams.

Maybe this could help in implementing them in other settings such as yours @joshuahhh.com too?
