They aren’t attempting to self-regulate. On the contrary, it seems like they’re doing whatever they can to bring about any possible threat as fast as possible in order to get legislation. Regulatory capture is what everybody is saying is their goal and I think that’s easier to believe

From what I’ve read/heard, a lot of the power of Pi is its extensibility but it’s a hard sell for me to try it out just because I can extend it. How is it out of the box?

1 more data point - it's very slow on my desktop which has relatively high performance as well. Using Brave if that matters.

Agreed. The important thing is to find something that works perfectly for you. Oftentimes I think people find their own perfect system and conflate it with being the perfect system.

Didn’t know Roc was still being worked on. I think it’s an interesting concept for a language that I personally haven’t seen elsewhere

Just commenting to say I've had the same experience. Been using Ghostty since (I was aware of) its release and it has been buttery smooth ever since. I occasionally see people talking about crashing or other issues they've had with Ghostty but I've not seen anything of the sort.

Anecdote: I was trying out a new editor at some point that had just had a huge update. I installed it on NixOS and noticed the new update had not been pushed onto NixPkgs. I went through their contribution guide and found how to update the package. I opened a PR and immediately a couple previous contributors & a specific maintainer were on the PR and left me some helpful comments and questions and I got it merged a few days later.

And I was someone who hadn’t been active in NixPkgs at all. The community reviewing these small package updates are active and really care which is how the number of commits can explode

Also went from a Glove80 to a Dygma Defy and not looking back. It’s a really cozy keyboard

Doesn’t help that prices are skyrocketing because of circular investing and spending between companies trying to amass as many data centers as possible to cash in on AI hype. These same companies keep pushing this idea that everything you know and do is worthless in the face of prompt-fu and that you have to use these platforms they’re pushing or you’re NGMI.

> no sane person would have been able to write such complex piece of software in the pre-AI era.

Insane take
