Iron Sky counts, right? Its budget is a bit high but it’s a B-movie and it knows it.

Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.

I saw this at the cinema last night. We all enjoyed it, although I’ll leave it a good while before I’d rewatch it.

Rami Malek is in a pretty similar role to his Elliot in Mr Robot, plus a bit of MacGuyver. Safe ground for him. Supporting cast was solid.

The plot moves at a decent pace, although without much in the way of surprises. Jon Bernthal’s character could be safely removed and the ending was a little anti-climactic.

I wonder if you can just have something like a teddy bear sat looking at you - similar to how eyes make people wash their hands and pay into honesty boxes.

Reminds me of the “you have two brains” idea, e.g. this CGP Grey video.

Sounds like we need an Archive they can’t censor.

They always used to break for us, and we’d have to go back to the trusty Competition Pro:

Not that it couldn’t be faked, but here’s the bug report with screenshot: https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-told-me-i-should-learn-coding-instead-of-asking-it-to-generate-it-limit-of-800-locs/61132

So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)

Edit, but with ✨AI✨ and apparently only true facts

After being virtually dead, it’s had a lot more development over the last few years(?), with steady progress towards passing the tests and supporting the specs (including reporting spec bugs and vagueness). It’s still a long way from being generally usable.

The focus is on making something that could be embeddable, although there are basic browsers using that embed. The focus seems to be on for use-cases like Electron, which doesn’t need all of the web APIs.

I don’t use it or contribute (yet), but I have their blog in my RSS reader and so keep an eye on it.

Thanks, added to my to-read list.

The writing of Julie Czerneda is very creative when it comes to alien species.

I haven’t read anything by her, where do you recommend I start?

I liked that you didn’t bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it’s so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.

I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact “seamlessly”, but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!

• Single player: Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga
• Multiplayer: Super Skidmarks also on the Amiga

That’s quite useful in the example given (passing errors back to clients), but I wonder if sometimes these others errors are artifacts from the first error - it would be more annoying to have these false negatives (and wasting time understanding that that’s what they are) than having to retry.
