It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post. Read it and notice where you start to struggle. Notice where you give up entirely.

@yogthos Fun post. I notice the dialect shifts to West Saxon near the end.

@yogthos I was able to manage until 1500. After that it was like reading a foreign language.

@samebchase I could still kinda make it out by 1400, but 1200 was where I hit a wall, it's like a whole different language all of a sudden

@yogthos
1300 was like OK it takes time to map the letters, and then to read the word fast out loud to make out some sense, but 1200 totally killed me: I thought wait is there a second wolf now? Like, dude you literally just saw her and she's already a "uuif"? Cringe -

@david @yogthos yeah, beyond that I recognized a few words, but some of those I recognized from the time when I played a medieval nun on the internet :D
(I hand copied a text in Old English of which I had read a translation, so I had a vague idea of what was happening, but I couldn't exactly understand what I was copying in each individual sentence)

@fucinafibonacci @filippodb @spettacoli imho Pulp Fiction grandissimo film sul cinema di quel tipo lì, quasi un manifesto, tipico di quel pazzo di Quentin.

@cwebber What's telling, I think, is that all these people go on about how much they're doing and how great AI is to help them build more *but there's no actual demonstrable stuff being done.* I mean, if AI was some kind of Nx multiplier you'd think we'd be getting N times more actual functionality out of software but mostly it seems like the N multiplier only applies to blog posts about how AI multiplies their programming.

Steve Klabnik also had an interview on lobste.rs. There's a lot in it! It's a cool read! https://alexalejandre.com/programming/steve-klabnik-interview/
And then it gets to the AI part and he's just like "oh I don't write code anymore".
And notably Steve Klabnik has a lot to say about code, but it's *all in the past*.
Lots of brilliant people are becoming non-practitioners.

Love that Betazoids are always trying to get freaky in the weirdest ways.

@stevendb perhaps the worst year, so far. But, I can still have a little fun.
