OMG I just had YouTube play a video with AI autodubbing and it's the worst thing I've ever heard. Garbage English instead of Japanese for an anime commercial... true AI vomit. To disable it if you must that language in your preferred languages in settings. AI ruins everything. 😡

Pretty annoying that Discord doesn't provide a way to report obvious bot spammers. Only four options for reporting an account: their photo, their name, their description, or their server tag. No wonder I keep getting friend requests from these accounts.

Okay, so it's just compressed air.
Easier.
But crappy specific impulse (less than 50 seconds).

Even assuming that 50% of the mass of the car is the compressed air, that gives you less than 10s of useful thrust (with thrust-to-weight ratio larger than 1.0). Probably more like 5 seconds, actually.
So the car must be an empty, lightweight shell containing big compressed air tanks.

Cute demo, but totally impractical.
But of course, you knew that.

That's right, we've been working on JRuby for over 20 years. My work is now funded by JRuby support contracts via @HeadiusEnts and GitHub Sponsorships (https://t.co/CfHwd4X99K). Partner with me to keep this crazy dream alive!

@headius I've been getting into reading ancient Ruby mailing lists and found this for JRuby 20 years ago today 😁 https://t.co/4xSlO7AduN

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

@cooperx86 Nice! Still shocking to me that I've been working on JRuby for over 20 years now and still going (now self-funded via @HeadiusEnts). What will the next 20 years bring? 🤩

[Irina Nazarova @inazarova]

I turned 39 today, and I invite you to join @sfrubyconf on Nov 10-11 for equal parts (1) learning about Ruby, AI and the frontier, and (2) party with me and your other Ruby friends!

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

Another fun talk on regex internals by Daniel Colson at XO Ruby NYC! I'll never get tired of looking under the covers, no matter how many people tell me to stop.

@nateberkopec Your 4th point is literally the opposite of what you are advocating. You can tap dance around this all you want, but your agent is only able to do what it does by leveraging and learning from (i.e. stealing) what humans worked hard to create.

JRuby placed third for lowest latency in the last deployment... Where will it be this round?

This and the Roundhouse results show that it's not about the language you or your agents use; it's about using the right tools, frameworks, and design in your chosen language.

[Carolina Code Conference @CodesCarolina]

We are very excited to have finally launched our Polyglot Site for a Polyglot Conference!

Check out all of the talks, sponsors and photos since our inception and you get to choose which languages you want to browse in!

@jamesladd @syntaxfm It would be a great help indeed!

[JRuby Dev Team @jruby]

We're happy to announce jruby-rack 2.0.0, updating our servlet/rack bridge to support the Jakarta Servlet API! We partnered with JRuby contributor https://t.co/dAZJ5rAsMH and the @killbill_io Open Source billing and payments platform to make this happen.

Oops, I will actually be speaking at XO Ruby in NYC this SATURDAY, October 10th, at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Will I see you there?

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

I am excited to announce I will be speaking at XO Ruby in NYC this Friday, October 10th, at the Metropolitan Pavilion! XO Ruby events are focused on local Ruby communities, with a dirt cheap, one day, single track setup. Stop by and learn about JRuby!

@dhh Use a better Ruby.

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

@largo We've had an increasing number of contributors to JRuby using agents to replace C extensions with JVM libraries or Ruby code. C extensions should no longer be a bottleneck to trying JRuby.

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

@sumitdatta Sounds good to me!

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

I'm looking forward to "stop writing code" and "stop reading code" to evolve into "stop running code" and we just revert back to an agrarian society.

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

I don't read code to make the code better. I read code to make myself better. I understand the system better by reading the code, which makes me better at creating new code.

[Charles Oliver Nutter @headius]

@olamarvelcreate Does not seem too far-fetched right now.
