he seems to run the gamut from like a gentle Steve-Roach-like lullaby thru the paranoia of Lustmord to the discomfort of Coil

isn't this partly because some emissions requirements meant toyota had to make the truck heavier? because at the lighter weight it couldn't meet the requirements? I guess I kind of assumed this. then again, americans love big clown cars

I cannot wait to see what the swine think of these pearls

does anyone else have separate drawers for USB Type B 2.0 and USB Type B 3.0 cables?

…yeah just me.

Usually I'll play something for my 14 y/o and she won't say anything--no reaction, too cool--and then I'll find out some weeks later she's been listening to it.

"Wait, you like Joy Division now...? Huh."

I am blessed

that’s probably a worst-case scenario though. I don’t want great contributors to bail bc of this

I’m glad people feel passionate about the project, anyway. I don’t see this going anywhere other than a future fork.

I hope my position is pretty clear 🙂

Opus Magnum from Zachtronics is getting a big new 'De Re Metallica' DLC Easily my favourite game from Zachtronics, Opus Magnum is making a return with a big new DLC that's set to arrive on March 17th.

#zachtronics is back!? sounds like Zach got nerd-sniped

does it have to be an LLM? does it have to ingest the entire internet? can it be crowdsourced? etc etc. I'm not convinced there's only one possible way to get there

in fact, it serves as a convenient distraction, don’t you think?

fwiw I’m not underestimating the task; it’s monumental. but pushing back on AI contributions as a means to solve the problem is akin to a family dutifully recycling to solve global warming.

doom all you want! it solves nothing, truly.

idk enough about it to say, but I don’t want to underestimate the resourcefulness of the OSS community. it won’t be cheap, though.

to those who feel so strongly about this that they reject AI-generated code outright, I implore you to instead direct your (legitimate!) passion towards something constructive. lead the way to where we want to go.

until an ethically-trained OSS model can rival frontier models for software development--with cheap inference--this is the reality we're stuck with. I don't love it either, but I'm not gonna bury my head in the sand and pretend this isn't how it is.

like it or not, how we build software has irrevocably changed. like it or not, the tools we currently use are proprietary and owned by for-profit companies.

instead of rejecting code built with these tools, put your energy into ethical alternatives.

slop in OSS should be broadly condemned. AI-generated code is _arguably_ ethically dubious due to its training on copyleft sources. but to oppose AI-generated code in OSS for this reason is wholly counterproductive and doesn't square with reality.

.@nodejs has always been about I/O. Streams, buffers, sockets, files. But there's a gap that has bugged me for years: you can't virtualize the filesystem.

You can't import a module that only exists in memory. You can't bundle assets into a Single Executable without patching half of core.

#VampireCrawlers is 🔥

ah weird, didn't see it for some reason. my bad

@npmx.dev should consider publishing to open-vsx.org
