@ariel omg, because of how tags are rendered on your home server, I didn't notice that it's tagged with a location.

So I was like "it looks like London, but it's not London"... "'Complies to AS 3996' you say"?.. *finds the picture* *feels smart for like 15 seconds* *notices tag* *cries in *.

A small hint for all the users out there.

I don't know about you, but I always cringed at how dirty mix is when it comes to installing third party toolchain dependencies.

Twelve years into using it, I learned that you can actually localise third-party installations!

Here's a snippet from my .

```sh
mkdir -p .nix-mix .nix-hex
export MIX_HOME=$PWD/.nix-mix
export HEX_HOME=$PWD/.nix-mix
[ -z "$(ls -A .nix-mix)" ] && mix local.hex
[ -z "$(ls -A .nix-mix)" ] && mix local.rebar
```

This can make your builds pure without faking HOME!

Mad cow disease, also known as Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is when cows ingest contaminated meal, which can be sometimes made up of other cows. It was considered a disaster for the cattle industry in the 1990s.

Anyway, I bring it up because this is basically how LLM slop is starting to work now. All the nutritional grass has been eaten and now what’s left is the contaminated meal made from other LLMs. The LLMs eat the meal, and soon we will have, like Mad LLM disease or something

What's the proper Canadian term for "prompt engineer"? (given that there's no accredited "prompt engineering" program to confer the Iron Ring)

@philgyford OMG, mind=blown. It's accurate, I even found the tunnel I was walking on my way from Bartholomew Close where I used to live to the nearest Waitrose! ❤️

I recreated the Barbican Estate in the lovely Townscaper app. I couldn't make the towers any taller but quite pleased with it otherwise
