I recently came across the Nim language and it was interesting enough to look into it further. When I got to the part in the intro describing indentation defined code blocks I was a bit disappointed, but may still continue to learn and try it out. Really just for a change from the .Net and older tech that I work with, and a general disinterest in gaming lately, more than a search for a new and/or better programming language.

If you're referring to the punk rock band "Ten Foot Pole", their latest studio album, "Escalating Quickly", was released in 2019. However, if you're asking about the actual production of ten-foot poles as a product, I'm afraid I couldn't find specific information on the last production date.

Hmm... I can see how you may have a problem touching things with a ten-foot pole now.

I would love to see a LLM trained up on all the debunker and sceptic sites available (with the authors permission, of course) just so we could ask it about any stupid headline we come across, and get the whole background and details of any real research that happened in relation to some bullshit story.

I hope it is not based on the same training material that bing chat uses, cos it makes frequent mistakes and pulls in solutions to completely different problems more often than giving me anything useful. Also asking for C# solutions, it usually just references a few stackoverflow pages and leaves it at that.

Tho, if you ask bing to respond in the style of ChatGPT it gets a bit more amusing. Briefly.

the users being pissed

It proves something, but I must have missed out on the poll taken to determine that all users want the site turned into a collection of shit-posts.

I don't use any third party apps and don't really give a damn about the API. The little time I have to spare is better used for other things than reading about a small bunch of people having a tanty and intentionally trying to make the service bad for everyone else.
