Why you shouldn’t design a language in ten days. ```javascript > [] + [] > [] + {} [object Object] > {} + [] 0 > {} + {} NaN ```

Interesting fact: in JavaScript “NaN” (Not a Number) is actually a number.

#[1]​ can you guys take a look at this? While technically correct (I don’t have a number of sats) I suspect it wasn’t intentional. image

Wow! I just updated and built Gossip and the new design with the sidebar looks much better. Hats off to @Mike Dilger ☑️.

“There was an exchange on Twitter a while back where someone said, ‘What is artificial intelligence?’ And someone else said, ‘A poor choice of words in 1954’. And, you know, they’re right. I think that if we had chosen a different phrase for it, back in the ’50s, we might have avoided a lot of the confusion that we’re having now.” -Ted Chiang

The problem of the internet is that there’s so much information it’s hard to find the stuff that’s actually interesting and informative. The best way I’ve found so far is to outsource the searching and ranking to others. This is essentially the service that Hacker News and Reddit provides for me. It’s amazing how many quality blog posts there are on the internet I never would have found on my own. Currently you can join a community with interests somewhat aligned to yours. Hopefully AI can soon run locally and sift through articles to find those precisely suited to your tastes.

Fine, I’ll admit it. Test driven development is kind of nice.

If Coinbase and Binance can’t fight the SEC, aren’t Bitcoin purchases going to get quite a bit more expensive since we’re no longer subsidized by the shitcoiners?

Lol there’s probably already somebody who figured out how to run Doom on the Vision Pro.
