Luckily the magazine came long before Claude, but I suppose your comparison describes their mission pretty well. It's a haven of non-AI writing.

Huh? He says he works at Modal, not Moonshot. Are they connected?

He's responding _positively_ to the design and querying if this is accessible to everyone.

Love it. This reminds me of wttr.in, but with the benefit of interactivity and that it works much better on mobile. I also happen to often use terminals in a narrower aspect, so wttr.in doesn't work perfectly for me. It'd be very cool if a curl call to your site rendered a terminal text view!

I suspect the URL and the article title are correct, if you buy the whole chapter - and it's just that we are seeing a preview which gets the grounding down first.

For some context (which people seem to be wanting): Gleam is an interestinf language that is very tight and small. I met the folks from Gleam at the recent Ubuntu Summit and was struck by the talk they gave which made the point (about the design philosophy of staying small and careful creation) excellently. It's very watchable, and Giacomo later explained (when I asked) that he'd hand-animated every transition. Which re-struck me as a doubly good way to reinforce the point of the talk, which was itself small and carefully created.

Thank you, I think you're right! I've added a correction in the post and cited your comment.

That's a new one and oddly apt :)

(Author here) for unrelated reasons my typing is very slow at the moment, so I was keen to automate. I see that people are getting different results from Claude than I did though.

Maybe useful for those XS sizes.

It might not have filled up the whole shirt then?

Author here. All hallucinations are my own. Now you point it out, I see why the jump in context from the terminal back to the tshirt font would give the wrong impression.

Author here. Thank you so much for the link which I hadn't seen! I'm very happy to see this and I'm gratified that it was deliberately difficult to OCR, not just me.

(Author here) Yes I agree. It was a fun side-quest though. Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1205/

Author here - that's a good idea actually, it shouldn't be too hard to compare the various attempts. The tools I used were whatever my Android built-in is (likely Google Gemini, but I can't tell whether this is something Samsung has replaced in OneUI); tesseract; tesseract with various tweaks and charsrt restrictions; Claude; and finally, manual fixes based on disagreements between all the previous.

> To market their new products to people who had not already spent years pining for a computer of their own, the creators of the second wave of microcomputers had to face head on the question of what the microcomputer was actually good for.

This is exactly the task of ChatGPT's current consumer advertising campaign in the UK. Lots of small use cases.

"something" I expect.

I just wanted to say that after the first paragraph, I wondered who this comment was written by, and then I realised I knew the answer already. There was no need for me to even check.

> The phrase's misuse implies that evidence against a statement supports the statement.

The original meaning of 'prove' was more like 'test'. The original sense was therefore opposite to this.

That particular poster has pink on the left and purple on the right.

Autotranslate below. The 'unclear' was added by me and originally read "Welcome to Japan's No.1 Google", which seems like it might be ab error.

Welcome to "Japan's No.1 [unclear]"

・This staircase is 338 meters long and has 462 steps. Climb up the steps and go through a 143 meter (24 step) connecting passage to reach the ticket gate.

Also, the altitude of this downhill platform is 583 meters above sea level, and the altitude is 653.7 meters, and there is a difference in elevation of 70.7 meters between this and the downhill platform.

It takes approximately 10 minutes to reach the ticket gate.

Please be careful where you step.

Beyond the headline, this is an interesting article listing ideas for useful features people might want.

Do you mean in the USA, perhaps? It's used more prevalently there, I think it's more likely for an average citizen to refer to a document than a collection of laws and customs. But I don't think that contex overtakes the original meaning.

We already have a constitution. It just isn't a written constitution:

> The United Kingdom constitution is composed of the laws and rules that create the institutions of the state, regulate the relationships between those institutions, or regulate the relationship between the state and the individual. These laws and rules are not codified in a single, written document.

Source for that quote is parliamentary: https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/commons-com... - a publication from 2015 which considered and proposed a written constitution. But other definitions include unwritten things like customs and conventions. For example:

> It is often noted that the UK does not have a ‘written’ or ‘codified’ constitution. It is true that most countries have a document with special legal status that contains some of the key features of their constitution. This text is usually upheld by the courts and cannot be changed except through an especially demanding process. The UK, however, does not possess a single constitutional document of this nature. Nevertheless, it does have a constitution. The UK’s constitution is spread across a number of places. This dispersal can make it more difficult to identify and understand. It is found in places including some specific Acts of Parliament; particular understandings of how the system should operate (known as constitutional conventions); and various decisions made by judges that help determine how the system works.

Take heart: I checked this by taking a random screenshot, and browsing down to see how long it took me to find a commercial page. A quick sense of my trail was really encouraging:

- Open source wasm runtime

- Science transparency campaign

- Netherlands gov anti-climate change program

- open thesaurus

- GNOME conference

- France's portal of towns and cities

- Scientific measurement standardistion page

- Scientific journal

- free eBook library

- parked domain

- Linux community

- Open source graphics library

- placeholder/template blog

- A book publisher (selling books!)

It took quite a while to find a commercial site,and that itself (a bookseller) is a positive thing itself.

"Free and easy

That's my style

Howdy-do me?

Watch me smile

But fare-the-well me

After a while

'Cause I gotta roam

And any place I hang my hat is home"

For me the most compelling argument here is that you are paying to continue to rely on the stated assumption.

It is assumed that the developers will continue to give something for free, but that will not be true forever. With support, it will be true for longer.

Your source is a 2024 piece about recommendations that had been made, not about how the law turned out.

True - wrong quote. But the other has equivalent terms, albeit with a service based restriction. It indicates a lack of confidentiality in the data.

The big - really big - downside for me is the CF termsofservice which suggest that any data pushed through their service is perpetually licensed to them:
