Stepping on my soapbox: Treat your mind, body, and present moment as if they're sacred. As if you could live a thousand lives and they would be sacred every time. All the other stuff, it's just this once.

Cleaning a mind of random grievances and addictions is good. Letting a body be weird, dance wrong, move in funny ways, sing poorly: this is good too.

The whole "purpose" thing is a side-effect. It can't be sought directly, I think.

The aliens living there have silly high pitch voices.

You should hear what the clowns on Sol-3 sound like.

Same with Canada, at least according to Pavement.

They are also rich, it is diamonds everywhere.

I had similar feelings with art generation. The early midjourney was definitely impressionistic, and I just kind of like impressionism. It's cool how accurate these have become, but they also feel closer to uncanny or boring.

Yeah. It really does seem that Microsoft is giving up on... everything? Like Xbox is kinda out, Windows is not great, and their AI never comes up as meaningful.

I wouldn't personally work for them ever. I've only heard bad things about their codebase... and I know people like to complain, but it's usually comedy levels of bad.

My limited understanding is that they are focusing on B2B and short-term milking B2C until it lasts.

Has mikanisa reached out to you yet? If not, find me on Discord with user id "seph_yo"

Sure. I spent some time designing the architecture for a system like this last year, based largely on my experience dating a prolific social networker for many years.

Would love to chat about it. There's no PM, so you can find my email at https://sephreed.me by clicking "contact"

I'll join your team if you find something. Would love to work as a group, rather than lone contributors.

Currently I'm looking into Deno and Ladybird. The latter has been nice enough, though the onboarding is little more than "compile yourself, then search for an issue."

I usually know what type I have and what type I want and just skim, searching for code examples with anything using either of those types.

The only time I really read some docs is if I've been stuck on one particular problem for a while.

I suspect that 90% of the time, if it isn't in a codeblock I don't read it.

I'm currently discovering Helix because I'm creating an LSP. I had tried to do the work in Zed, but Zed requires compilation with each update. It's for the sake of sandboxing, but it slows everything down immensely.

> decentralized in the near future (it probably won't)

I may be optimistic on this one. But it feels like dead internet is encroaching everywhere. There aren't many centralized services I can think of that people actually like. Perhaps Steam, but most of them are hated by their users. Currently, I'm imagining that more and more of our digital interactions are going to go through AI helpers. Agents that will filter out ads, and likely also hold onto our information for us. At a certain point, centralized DBs just become an unnecessary middleman with privacy concerns. If I want photos of my friends, why not just have my assistant ask their assistant?

> how about this scenario: ....

It seems like all of this data could easily fit into a 10MB of text. This is the kind of thing an assistant would be likely to churn through without issue. It could also search for other interesting correlations while it's at it.
