<p>The techniques in the article right now have had around 95%-100% success at avoiding spam and take about 5 min. to implement. Your approach of putting an LLM in front of your inbox gives 97% accuracy, may have false positives (so you may not receive that account deletion email after all), requires to run inference and, I assume, would take at least an hour to setup.<p>Also, the two can be complementary, anyways, so I am not sure what your point is.</p>

According to claude:<p><pre><code>  It layers a pentatonic guitar melody with filter sweep, a saw/triangle bass, warm e-piano chords, TR-808 drums, and a sparse music box that drifts across the stereo field.

I'm blown away.<p>I do acknowledge the possiblity that it might be heavily plagiarized from an original composition in the training set - I wouldn't know.</p>

It can also add a .ics export.<p>Of course you should go over the dates and holidays to see if it got them right.</p>

<p>> It's apparently an official priority<p>I've been following the github issue for C# web export and let me tell you: It's not been a priority.<p>> EnC makes it possible to change C# code while the game is running and the changes are reflected without losing the game state.<p>sounds exactly like code hot reload to me? It would be very nice to have.<p>> About setting up debugging+lsp, what were your struggles?<p>> Godot + C# DevEx is quite lacking if you use something like Neovim or Zed<p>you got me. I tried integrating a Godot workflow using neovim and at some point with emacs. Both were subpar. This actually reminds of another pain point: gdshader. Also very integrated with the editor just like GDscript, which makes it another thing you have to work on getting integrated with your IDE of choice - or you bite the bullet and just use the editor for this. But shaders are such a massive shitshow that I can't really blame Godot for this.</p>

<p>For the record I would still choose C# out of all the options for a bigger game (GDscript with strict type-hinting might suffice for small ones). My main complaints that I can still remember:<p>- deprecated web export for C# with Godot 4. This is basically my main gripe and why C# has been a non-starter for me.<p>- Engine still has a separate binary for C# support. I think they are working on unifying them. But once you use the .NET one you can't export to web even when you don't use C#.<p>- setting up debugging+lsp was a pain and consistency was very flaky afterwards<p>Also a lot of the editor workflow is built around using GDScript with the built-in text-editor. I don't actually mind it that much, but you asked why it's not as well integrated and that's an obvious one for newbies.
If your experience was wildly different, please do tell.</p>

<p>Very true. While I believe there can be a place for a language tailored specifically for gamedev, GDScript certainly is not it.<p>C# support seems to have been added reluctantly, because the prospect of attracting unity devs was to good to pass on. But then they switch over and realize it is treated like the ugly stepchild and the hope is that you will just use their scripting language to avoid the friction.<p>And don't get me started on using GDExtension for other languages. Claiming C/C++ is available as a scripting languages in the same sentence as GDScript is a joke.<p>I'll look into Libgodot, maybe it's an option.</p>

<p>Guests don't care about charisma, they care who your previous guests were. He early on got Elon Musk as a guest (AFAIK by writing a paper that was overly favorable to Tesla) and managed to snowball that into a big podcast.<p>Also guests agreeing to go on your show means they already want to talk about something, so in a way it's more important to shut up than ask good questions.</p>

<p>> I always assumed there was more to Org mode than "Markdown for Emacs", but this post makes it sound exactly like that.<p>That is because the post focuses on org-mode: the markup language.

(2024)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>Couple things that helped me understand literate programming:<p>- A literate program has code and documentation interleaved in one file.<p>- <i>Weaving</i> means extracting documentation and turning it into e.g. a pdf.<p>- <i>Tangling</i> means extracting code in a form that is understandable to a compiler.<p>A crucial thing to actually make this paradigm useful is the ability to change around the order of your code snippets, i.e. not letting the compiler dictate order. This enables you to code top-down/bottom-up how ever you see fit, like the article mentioned. My guess on why people soured on literate programming is that their first introduction involved using tools that didn't have this ability (e.g. jupyter notebooks). Also, you usually lose a lot of IDE features: no go-to-definition, bad auto-complete, etc.<p>IMO, the best tool that qualifies for proper literate programming is probably org-mode with org-babel. It's programming language agnostic, supports syntax highlighting and noWEB for changing around order. Of course it requires getting into the Emacs ecosystem, so it's destined to stay obscure.</p>

<p>org-mode could have had a chance if they had provided tooling outside the emacs ecosystem. But now LLMs have chosen markdown, so it's destined to forever remain an obscurity.</p>

<p>Pretty sure it's used as a marketing term here. They train on images that you generate/give it, but the output of that training is not a model, it's a static 3d scene made up out of gaussian splats. You are not running inference on a model when traversing one of those scenes, you are just rendering the splats.</p>
