[17:41:26] superkuh IRC's greatest cultural feature is the asynchronous nature and ability to join/part without social expectation of interaction.

[17:44:28] superkuh It's kind of weird there are only a handful of punctuation marks to end utterances.

[17:44:38] superkuh . ! ? ...

[17:46:08] superkuh Are there non-latin alphabet languages that have a more rich set of punctuation marks to indicate more emotional tones?

[17:48:52] superkuh Ah. Japanese and Arabic have some fun proprietary punctuation marks.

[18:26:20] superkuh Woo. Standford's 7B Alpaca (better trained llama large language model) weights have been replicated and released today.

[18:26:24] superkuh -d

[18:38:23] superkuh I was using Netscape Navigator's dev tools in the 90s.

[18:39:11] superkuh 'member when "View Source" was a first class feature in browsers? And they actually had HTML editors built in?

[18:40:34] superkuh Nope. The view source has become more and more hidden, and doesn't even have it's own window style in Firefox anymore. And the inspector method of editing the firefox's idea of what the HTML might be is not the source.

[18:40:44] superkuh It's the DOM.

[18:42:06] superkuh The DOM representation of what the HTML might be is not actually the source. And the view-source: in firefox is not editable.

[18:42:11] superkuh More JS-centric design.

[18:43:23] superkuh That's true. Most people don't use browsers for web pages anymore. They use them for running applications. And that has made browsers terrible too.

[18:43:44] superkuh So... my " 'member " was valid and not fake nostalgia.

[18:46:41] superkuh My favorite was "Das Boot" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Boot_(video_game)

[18:47:07] superkuh It had 3D polygon graphics back in literally 1991.

[18:58:20] superkuh "Launch ze perl scripts!"
