Is this the future of postmortems? "We tweaked a random seed, and it resulted in unfavorable random outcomes. "

Silver lining in this I guess. If everyone realizes at the same time they're all f'd together, regardless of "skill", then maybe there's a chance we can all work together to save ourselves.

No chance to think "sucks for you, but I'm good here" like so often happens with other issues.

heh that’s a great idea as a gift. you can change the subject about anything. just in time for the holiday season.

it’s still usable as a notebook or sketchpad if nothing else.

Would be cool to see something like this used for the next iteration of Civilization.

“Hope is not a strategy”

I use the + technique, but I've been doubtful of its effectiveness. It's easy enough to remove the text after the +.

Yeah, I guess that works for characters like Mickey Mouse. But for every Mickey Mouse there are hundreds or thousands of other characters that are less widely known.

AI is climate change of consuming all that data

If you somehow accidentally generate Mickey Mouse and decide to monetize it, how are you going to defend yourself that your prompt didn't include "Mickey Mouse" or something?

When I was learning to draw, one technique to help spot errors is to flip the drawing upside down. This made misaligned features, bad proportions, weird perspective issues immediately jump out.

Maybe it's the same effect.

"small diameter tunnels" + "autonomous cars" kind of sounds like a subway train.

Care to share some links? My lack of GPU is the main blocker for me from playing with local-only options.

I have an old laptop with 16GB RAM and no GPU. Can I run these models?

latest versions of iOS is actually pretty good about this, at least for Facebook Messenger. It will let you choose specific photos to upload, and the app can only read those. And afterwards you can even revoke those permissions.

How is it for teaching kids programming?

Nice. One step closer to having Smooth Operator be a real title

At which point, maybe a "GUI-interface" will be cheaper to build and maintain in the long run.

Now if AI could automagically update inventory data with what's actually physically happening on the lot, that would be cool.

It was cheaper the last time I looked at it. $5.00/mo for Mozilla, and Mullvad is Euro5.00/mo.

And I guess a lot more people now know about Mozilla VPN. No such thing as bad publicity I guess?

I wouldn't mind seeing Mozilla VPN ads in the Settings menu or the 'new tab' page tbh. But injecting it on top of web pages directly is just scummy.

I'm hoping a future version will allow using hidden markup that's already in the DOM rather than fetching from the server.

This and the author's other books are really great. There's CGI animation for some of them too and they are really well done. My family are huge fans.

We need a DSL that converts/compiles into natural language for the AI.

I've been researching JS frameworks recently for a personal project. Like you, my experience is with backend, old-school Django-style HTML multi-page apps, with some interactivity in specific parts of a page.

Things I thought that were cool and were genuinely exciting:

- https://htmx.org - this is my favorite option. It's primarily meant to replace AJAX requests that dynamically update the DOM (which is already a big win IMO). For more complex UI interactions, you'll still need JS or Hyperscript.

- https://hyperscript.org - wasn't immediately sold on this one like with HTMX. It's built by the same people as HTMX though. My favorite thing about it is it makes async transparent (no callback hell)

- Svelte, SolidJS - lumping these together since they look about the same from my point of view. Looks very easy for someone like me to build complex dynamic UIs. But still feels a bit too heavy for my tastes (Default setup is for full-blown SPAs)

- Go - awesome standard library. Lots of tutorials and easy to find answers. I needed to adjust to the lack "one framework to rule them all".

- Clojure/ClojureScript - Like Go, there's no "the one framework". Being able to use the same language for backend/frontend, including code sharing, is pretty sweet.

In the end, I chose Clojure + ClojureScript. I aws already familiar with Clojure, and with some wrangling/trial-error, I managed to get a ClojureScript setup that lets me write small interactive components that I can embed into specific parts of plain old .html files.

I intend to use HTMX for AJAX stuff, and ClojureScript for more complex interactivity. Haven't gotten very far yet, but that's the plan.

You could probably split up the image into smaller pieces (let's call it slicing), put them together in a table, and only update the cells that changed.

I prefer ecriminals

It's semi-replaced Google and StackOverflow for me. It's like having an interactive rubber duck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

Hey, yeah sure I’m open to that.

Chemical and electrical orders

Off-topic, but is there a similar federated alternative to Reddit? e.g. each subreddit can be its own server.
