It would be cool if this was ActivityPub compatible so we could follow Instagram from Mastodon. As much as I hate meta, there are some artists I would like to follow still

Yeah, she’s told me in pretty much every occasion that she’s scared the kids or teacher will be mean, but after a couple classes she’s fine. Similar with play dates. She’s not stressed by social situations at all (other than new ones), in fact, she craves friends a lot and often tells me that she wants to play with other kids. I’m school and neighborhood, she’s often the leader and organizes the games for kids.

I’m not trying to make her extroverted to be clear, but I’d actually say she’s more extroverted than me. Shyness isn’t introversion. In fact, my push for a hobby is to effectively get her more friends to balance playdates that she wants.

She’s scared kids will be mean to her. None of the hobbies are things she’s scared of. She loves doing them with me and neighbor friends.

What coping mechanisms would you suggest in this case?

I’ve tried a number of different hobbies and it’s a struggle usually. With an art class she was crying beforehand, but I sat next to her and she was fine after the first class. She has fun and laughs as she makes silly stuff.

The “forcing” is just the first couple times, but she’d literally just stay home eternally if I didn’t make her do things. Other than at least one exercise/movement hobby for health, I kind of don’t care what the hobbies are, but want her to do something.

Part of it is a chicken or egg. I go into these platforms and there’s nothing there, so I don’t check them. Organizers see nobody checking them, so they don’t maintain them.

My current plan is something like this. Basically make unofficial accounts for groups that interest me (clearly labeled unofficial of course). Then hand them over when there’s enough traffic.

Groups I organize I just make two channels

Is it really 100%?! How much to import from the US? And China?

Oxford Ionics, acquired by U.S.-based IonQ, was one of the six spinouts out of Switzerland, the U.K., and Germany that delivered exits of more than $1 billion to their investors in 2025.

Yup… The European exit strategy. Make a startup and get bought by America

I loved python when I was a junior dev. Now I hate it (except for things like computational math). I have to add debug statements to figure out that someone snuck in the wrong type into the code.

Link to the study for onlookers

They should honestly just wrapper the majority of the code base in rust unsafes and then slowly very slowly migrate sections of the code to rust. This is the right way to do it imo

Will they do that? Nope.

Nobody is truly reviewing that stuff. Would you if you were in that job? Just blame mistakes on AI

Are there any instances of this? It looks promising

Is there an alternative way to contribute to them? I would happily send money directly to the artists, but I don’t know how

I find that it basically can’t do decent architecture. My last attempt to use it ended with it using casbin, but then rewriting it’s own authorization framework and trying to use both at the same time 😶.

I think there is a lot of power here, but it needs very heavy guidance and handholding to do it well. Otherwise it makes very stupid intern level decisions

Ideally they’d compare time to write + time to fix. My experience is that if you use test driven development, LLM isn’t too bad. No worse than an intern.

I think it comes down to who is using the LLM. I had a junior dev once “presumably” AI gen a ton of code (broken trash). Then to fix it, they wrapped each function in a try catch block that dropped the error. Unit tests were mocked out to the extent they didn’t test anything.

When I use an LLM, I have tests and hard constraints on the LLM. It isn’t good enough to do everything, but it can generate about 80% of a simple app
