Super cool interpretability project. Source code / request form for additional models would be awesome additions.

On the same vein: "The Protopian Fiction Prize invites you to share your vision of people working toward liberatory futures, meeting obstacles, and making real change." https://protopianprize.com/

Awesome! Is the link unclickable on purpose (to avoid being slashdotted.. )

CubeSats are being launched around the world. While a compelling effort, this book is rather US-centric, and will be incomplete without some wider research.

Every hackathon should use this.

A test that runs for 15 hours on a high powered rig is going to be hard to reproduce or scale. But I think this addresses a widespread concern, which affects all kinds of cloud services. What you ping is not necessarily what you get.

That sly remark at 22:40 on the telephone ringing :)

Check out Apertus, the publicly funded model from a research team that goes to great lengths to remove icky content.

You made my day. Thank you!

Beautiful. I am a little worried that you’ll soon lose interest and stop supporting the app without a business model. Do you plan to at least get sponsored, e.g. by some kind of foundation, like ones that are behind mental health initiatives?

Excellent. Starting with the domain name :)

For 6 minutes in 90 days. Not bad!

Wonderful thanks for sharing.

The "using with AI" support is really interesting, should help bootstrap some serious vibe coding.

Hence, couples / group therapy.

Switzerland just kicked off its largest AI movement to date — all about turning world-class research into real-world impact. Over 55 organizations – including the Federal Government, EPFL AI Center, ETH AI Center, Gebert Rüf Stiftung, Swiss Re, Swisscom, and UBS – are joining forces to shape the future of trustworthy AI made in Switzerland.

From 1 Sept to 5 Oct, the latest Swiss AI developments will come to life in events and hackathons across the country:

AI Talks, Conferences, Workshops & Online Courses in 10+ cities from Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, and Lucerne to Lugano, Lenzburg, St. Gallen, Winterthur, and Zurich Hackathons in 7 cities AI Challenges from leading organisations in healthcare, government, finance, industry & more Incubation programs for Hackathon winners

Kudos on the idea, and for reaching out here! I build open source tools for hackathons, something I posted about here a few days ago. Your question is a great one, because small private events are not really addressed well by the typical guidance for large (100+) event organizers. Let me (with a little help from my fine-tuned assistant) give it a try:

Do: communicate the objectives and rules clearly (e.g. Gantt chart the timeline), encourage a diverse mix (friends and family, also to boost the audience), provide necessary resources for ideation (from high quality moderation kits to healthy snacks and water), allocate time for brainstorming, pitching, voting, and development stages, and ensure there are mentors available (at least people with some prior hackathon experience) to guide the teams. Think about some creative team-building activities.

Don't: overload participants with too many rules, micromanage the teams, celebrate individual achievements over ensuring all participants get something out of it, or make the hackathon too competitive.

In summary: focus on learning, collaboration, and having fun while documenting the process and outcomes for future reference. Especially for that last point, feel free to test Dribdat in our sandbox, or ping me if you want something more robust & private.

Good luck with your event!

Nice one! I assume the tests will soon run regularly in CI. Would you also consider doing a side-by-side comparison of Bun?

Thanks to the Hack the Hackathon conference for prompting me to finally post about this here. In particular, it was the discussion with the "Hackathon Template" team that reminded me of humble beginnings and prompted me to share more. You can see a Dribdat site with links to the event here: https://hackthackathon.dribdat.cc/

A language that changed the lives of millions of people - myself included - who couldn't go to learn C or Pascal in grad school just to get started with coding. I imagine that modern alt-tech culture from hackspaces to hackathons - owes much to you as well. Also, I am heartened to learn that one of the first precursors of BASIC was DOPE.

Lighting the candle in a way Mr. Kurtz would have appreciated: https://graphics.social/@seism/113516128540983344

When I am forced to use a phone or tablet of a brand and size I'm not used to, everything seems wonky and out of place. Yet I can adapt to a different brand and size of car in a few minutes. Replacing tactile memory with skeuomorphism, is like a prosthetic arm that can extend 10m to replace your sickly feely biological one. I'm always up for advocating for more arts & crafts as part of interaction design.

With a Hackathon! And a couple of cohorts, just to be on the safe side.

Ah, thanks for clarifying!

Zach Lieberman, one of my favourite artists ever, once did something like this with Ink space: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ink-space

There's a site called SwissDevJobs.ch that similarly maps tech jobs down to a neighborhood level. You might want to compare notes, especially on company transparency & community calendars.

Could your project also extend beyond DOM, to Canvas and WebGL code? I could imagine some very interesting creative uses in a game engine setting. Also: check out Aya by Cohere, a Canadian AI company.

It's very nice and clean and functional. Budgets are some of the most boring and universal tech ever, and I think your project is very worth continuing. Kudos for having a collaborative (if not fancy and needlessly realtime) feature from the start!
