FTFY. I have created a font with a 1BP LLM inside which executes each time the glyph is rendered and figures out the appropriate representation. It will also recursively check the contents of the page and punch up the text. The LLM contain

Because everyone uses airgapped disposable micro VM's for everything, right? No one would be stupid or lazy enough to run them on their development laptop or production server, right? Right!?! Maybe the good side-effect of LLM's

When I was teaching in Ube, Japan in 1979, there was a great jazz music coffee bar. The entire wall behind the counter was covered with jazz LP's. They had huge speakers, a massive turntable, and a McIntosh amp. You would go in, pick

The goal is to eliminate outright vehicle sales, and move everyone to leases and rentals? Just like in software? Safety is important, too (nudge nudge wink wink). Given that speed and alcohol are the top two causes of traffic deaths, mandat

I think anyone who objects to Rust in userland as part of the system should also object to Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. What would really be scary would be a distro that won't even boot unless a variety of LLM's are installed. Boo!

IMHO a better example is: "Can we make a teeny tiny change to CURL that would allow me to use it as a fetch engine for the GUI web browser I'm making? I can't think of anything else that might use that change, but pretty pre

If smartphones were real computers, instead of expensive little closed portable TV's with cameras, we could run multiple VM's, each with their own network ID's, accounts, apps, etc. Maybe these sexy AI LLM's can help us

Swimming in Minnesota lakes: always check for leeches. It seems like they hang out close to shore, so swimming near the dock or weeds increases the chance of being an involuntary blood donor. New Guinea: they have land leeches that hang ou

<yawn> Kitchen-sink office suites are dinosaurs. It's like switching from riding an ankylosaurus to riding a glyptodont. Personal computing was and is a tarpit. It was and is used to automate and complicate paper-style processes

I have this age-related eye disease where all the text on a web page appears to be in a tiny, spindly font, and it appears to fade in as it scrolls. I would blame my eyeglasses, but I'm not wearing any. :-)

Improving the existing command line for humans is a waste of effort. It's an heirloom activity already, unless you forbid the use of LLM AI. It's inefficient for even the simplest AI model to use a CLI, so API's are the futur

There are an uncountably large number of pathways one's efforts toward a goal can take. Given that the future is unknowable, any decision one makes can turn out to be an inconvenient (not necessarily wrong) decision. That is "te
