Why do translucent yellow dice always come with white numbers? Who hurt you? :thisisfine:

@bestiaexmachina I have so many neat dice that I cannot actually use because most tabletop roleplay is done in dimly lit spaces in the evening : /

"TDD is actually easier than writing the tests afterwards, so why is it so hard to learn?"

I was chatting to somebody at MyConf last week and they came up with that statement. I'm kicking myself now for not asking them to elaborate. I have some ideas but I'm interested in what everyone else thinks.

In what ways is TDD easier than test after? And why is it hard to learn?

@emilybache
If I don't first invest in limiting the scope of the thing I want to achieve, I expend a lot of my energy exploring avenues that are interesting to traverse but don't necessarily lead to where I need to be. When the willingness to travel runs out, I try to make the best of where I end up. Starting with tests means I first look at the map, pinpoint my destination, check how I can verify I'm on the right path, and only take avenues that help me progress to my goal.

Microsoft Recall:

"As you use your PC, Recall takes snapshots of your screen. Snapshots are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot. "

Part of Copilot. Big brother is watching.

Microsoft states the snapshots will be stored locally. They don't say whether they will train models on them, stimulate users to back up the snapshots in One Drive, or analyze the data online besides making snapshots.

And as they state in https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2024/05/20/introducing-copilot-pcs/ their SLM's are trained locally, but the NPU is connected to LLM's in Azure Cloud. If we can trust data-hungry Microsoft, the separation serves to address our privacy concerns. I have doubts.
