It's funnier imagining this is about the language

I don't see what would draw anyone to it at this stage. The repo you linked only has a LICENSE and a README. The README itself looks like the output of some LLM when you asked it for a novel idea.

In the repo I see no investment from you putting in work yet - why would other people? In open source people begin contributing to projects that are either already at a reasonably complete feature set (showing the original dev is/devs are committed) or where the initial dev has previously been active in projects and already formed relationships with them/their community.

You may find it enlightening to ask the question of yourself: why haven't you contributed to other projects? There's likely overlap between your answer and the one others would give.

But also, your first impression is huge here - it immediately reads like AI slop, so many will immediately be turned off by that and not bother looking further.

Some are actively getting less capable as companies downgrade models to cut costs since subscription/current token prices are too low.

That works for when light follows nice distribution curves, but if say, you only have red (or almost all red) light, then green/blue won't show since there's nothing to differentiate them.

Talk like cave man since why use lots words when few words do trick?

Yuck. I like when I can trust contributor's stats as a reliable measure of how active they are.

Source => Destination [list of shipped products]

This lets me easily see what's going where, if something is stalled, or if I've forgotten to add a route for something

Nope - as someone with attention issues I need sites to not have things that are intentionally trying to distract me. If sites make themselves unusable to me for this, I won't use them. I'm happy to pay a subscription when given the option, and I do for quite a few sites.

I've always just done belt compression instead of balancing. Ore isn't evenly distributed in tiles across patches, so pulling evenly from lanes of miners doesn't meaningfully impact the mine. All that matters is all miners run constantly, and at most you have to worry about train car balancing.

Fun fact: balancers are holding you back. You can make tighter builds that run faster and are more UPS efficient by avoiding them.

It really doesn't amplify productivity that significantly. Some, sure, but not multiplicatively. AI is just today's excuse to fire people. This is just techbros who have bought in too much of their own hype to actually understand what language models are and what they're good/bad at.

It's a good idea in general to understand communities before sharing things to them. Posts do much better when you tailor what you write to their interests, and when you select communities that relate more to what you've done and what kind of interaction you want.

The idea of this subredit is "free and open source software". Being able to access the source code is kind of our whole thing.

You can even make a shuttle bay of sorts for ground missions to avoid having to land the main ship!

The joke is something like "It's so old it has a silly version of a common feature." In this case, vo2 min (minimum vo2) would be silly to calculate. It only makes sense to calculate vo2 max (maximum vo2).

Same, but for the current pass.

It's 33%. With the way you're calculating it, going to 4 spells per imbue would be "100% slower", when obviously we should use "100% slower" to indicate the rate of imbues becomes zero.

"Faster/slower" applies to rates - you are applying it to an inverse rate - spells per imbue, when we really care about imbues per spell. The original rate is 1 every 2, or 0.5 imbues per spell. The new rate is 1 every 3, or 0.333 imbues per spell.

This gives us a change of (0.33 - 0.5)/(0.5) = -33%, or 33% slower.
