@t3.gg not sure if this will be resolved in an upcoming release, but imo the numerical font in t3.chat ain't the best. - the 7s look pretty bad with the cross-bar (that's how i'd write them irl, but it just looks weird with ligatures), - i thought the 6 was a ó at first glance

okay, #kotlin may be a near-perfect language, in terms of dev ux. it has some of my fave features from #java (obvs), #typescript and #csharp it feels like i'm using supercharged #lombok helpers. i love `.use` i love `lateinit var foo` i love `fun bar(qty: Int) = qty.toDuration(DurationUnit.HOURS)`

this is obviously an incredibly important discussion to have, but i would be very wary of any policy outcomes that are caused by the "think of the children" side of the argument. children need to be kept safe online, but privacy on the internet is still vital www.youtube.com/live/RMUGxny...

i get that generative video models (at least public ones) will have safeguards in place to prevent famous/notable people from being cloned, but what's to stop a bad actor from making their generated face be something fit for chromakeying?

95% of the time, bugs are not bugs, they're errors in the code you wrote. the computer is almost certainly doing what you told it to do. 4.999...% of the time, it's due to new/weird languages not doing what you expected them to and 0.000...1% of the time, it's a compiler bug.
