That 80% is important. We need non-techies, because they remind us that there's more to life than just computers.
Could have left out the first part of that headline... I was confused about why this was in my feed for a second 😅
The real world is where things that matter happen. Life, love, nature. The Web is distracting and loud, but it's a big, flimsy illusion. So I don't think there is any chance that Metaverse ideas will take off.
Regarding LLMs: good news! You can already run them at home. Check out KoboldAI. LLMs will become smaller as time goes on, too. There's lots of room for improvement in that field.
True fucking statement.
Most normal people don't even know adblockers exist. Guys, if you're going to convince people to switch away from Chrome, it won't be on the grounds of protecting against some API or ads.
Enforce same size for arrays at compile-time?
Let's say I have two arrays that have related data:
const char *backend_short[] = { "oal", "pa", "sdl_m" }; const char *backend_long[] = { "openal", "portaudio", "sdl_mixer" };
Does C support a way to "assert" that these two arrays have the same size? And failing compilation if they are different? I want a safeguard in case I'm drunk one day and forget to keep these synchronized.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I found a solution. Here are some enlightening resources on the matter:

Terra Nil is a game that's in-development, and it describes itself as a "reverse city builder". It looks like it's all about restoring a dead wasteland to a paradise that cooperates with nature. I've had this one on my radar for a while.
I did some deep digging, and it seems like the artist might be the user 浅野 (Asano) on Pixiv. Thanks for sharing it here tho, i've now made it my desktop background too :P
