Sure, slices and multiple return values are nice, but it's not what makes Go good. When people think about Go they usually think about channels and goroutines. YMMV

While I do kind of get what the appeal and target audience is supposed to be, I absolutely don't get why you'd choose a subset and still have it behave differently than the Go counterpart. For me that destroys the whole purpose of the project.

what an odd thing to say for someone whose product is built entirely on exactly that

Just like with Brexit, the majority of UK's population voted (and will keep voting) for this.

Because people have been using a lot of emojis before LLMs in text already, and LLMs have been trained on those texts.

This whole "You have emojis in your text, it's LLM!"-trope got boring really fast. Amazing to see (and to think of the implications of) so many people apparently being in emoji-free social bubbles before this, though.

A more fitting title would be "Germany's citizens outfitted half a million balconies with solar panels". The current phrasing makes it sound like it's somehow a thing done by the government, which is not the case. If anything the government is one of the many forces slowing down this progress. And yes, I am aware of things like grid security and stability being a concern. I am not complaining.

Inspired by things like DrawBall, r/place or the recent rise of Wplace I decided to do something similar, but as a stream on Twitch. And I took the word "canvas" quite literally. You can draw single pixels using the chat. How it works exactly is in the channel description. Well, that's basically all to it.

If anything is noteworthy about it it's probably that I made this using Blender and Godot, which are both excellent pieces of software that are frequently featured on HN. The Twitch integration I've done through Twitch' recent EventSub Websocket API, entirely in GDscript. Repo soon!

That's it. If this gives someone else a couple of seconds of entertainment it was probably worth the evening I spent on it already. :)

Since it's user generated content (which WILL need moderation) the stream will be offline at around Central European sleepy times. It will be shut down completely eventually if it dies out, or I put in more effort if there's people interested in it in the long run. Either works for me.

This sort of implies that it was cheaper to just go with he extra cash needed than to do a cube with the right dimensions?

But then again it's the Fed, so they probably just printed more money. (Which also costs money, though?)

Okay, so the network does exactly what I would expect? If anything you could argue the network is bad because it doesn't recognize your prompt and gives you something else (original? whatever that would mean) instead. But maybe that's just me.
