@llimllib.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy thanks for your writeup on git worktrees here: notes.billmill.org/blog/2024/03...

I see in your worktree script you're using cp here: github.com/llimllib/per...

Out of interest, how did you choose between cp and symlinking? Did you have issues with symlinks?

Fantastic discussion between @npcollapse.bsky.social and @natehagens.bsky.social about AGI and SI; Connor's optimism and outlook is inspiring

You know, I really hope people are realising how trivial software development is, and that outsourcing the work to generative tools whole-sale is definitely not a footgun

I mean, look at this silly graph from roadmap.sh/backend - surely no one needs to actually know what any of this actually means?

The confirmation for dropping tables in Outerbase (outerbase.com) is quite something :D

@krassenstein.bsky.social alt text on your images would massively help out visually impaired users on BlueSky who otherwise may not get to enjoy your posts

Using AI/LLMs for search seems problematic

Oh no! Hilary's emails are crashing the market on Hunter Biden's laptop! Those rapscallions!

Excellent talk by @maggieappleton.com on where we currently sit with AI, potential implications for the future, and the responsibility we have to take ownership of the things that humans are good at, while using AI as a _tool_ to do things better, not as a crutch

You either love false dichotomies, or you have no idea that you're using them

A human somewhere in the world has mistaken my email address for theirs for years; I frequently get a view into their current interests

The latest: a sub to a crypto newsletter, suggesting that retirement in 12 months is possible with a few $1000 in memecoins, thanks to extreme volatility

At war with a villain
You can't call a truce
You put down your weapon but now he's got two
A liar's a liar

- open a vertical split with :vnew
- paste other text
- bind scrolling across splits with :set scrollbind
- activate diffing with :windo diffthis

Was using nnn for file exploration, and came across yazi (github.com/sxyazi/yazi) yesterday - holy smokes it's good

And then... yazi.nvim (github.com/mikavilpas/y...) goes and makes scoping greps by directory or selected files in Neovim trivial

boom!

well, you can tell by the way I utilise my gait, I'm a lady's gentleman, no time to fraternise
