In the dotnet 8 announcement the brag is that a minimal web service will be 8.5 megs

But if we’re wrong about climate change we’ll have made the air breathable for no reason. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

LLMs can reason about information. It’s fine to call them intelligent systems.

It’s reasonable to refer to unsupervised learning as “learning on its own”.

Already did

You can block a service from establishing outbound connections while allowing it to respond to inbound connections. It’s pretty common to do this because server software generally has no business calling out unprompted.

You don’t want the service to create arbitrary outbound connections, but you want your device to be able to communicate with the service.

It’s been a while since I’ve done network stuff, but it sounds like a pretty simple textbook problem.

A lot complainers in the comments. 🙄

The big ones for me are collection expressions and primary constructors. They reduce boilerplate and make code easier to read, which is always welcome.

A self-hosted service requires local network, not internet

You don’t have to audit code to ensure it doesn’t call home.

Ridiculous take.

There’s a vast difference between using a cloud service that definitely spies on you, and a self-hosted solution that you can ensure doesn’t.

An LLM trained exclusively on Facebook would be hilarious. It’d be like the Monty Python argument skit.

The problem is there are always comments like these: https://lemm.ee/comment/4359032

Adding context is obviously necessary.

Small Basic is about equivalent to Scratch in terms of what you can do, but you have to actually write the code. It reinforces various coding principles in a more explicit way than Scratch.

The website has a printable curriculum that looks reasonable.

I think it’s an excellent stepping stone.

The hash is not the password.

Passwords shouldn’t be stored at all though 🤷‍♂️

You had me doubting my memory for a moment there. I used to know the movie version by heart, but it’s been a hot minute. 😄

Maybe it’s time for a rewatch

It’s characters from a popular TV show as knitted figures.
