Moxie doesn't trash NFTs or Web3 in that article. He just points out some limitations of the ecosystem. Also, ipfs directly fixes one of the bigger issues: > Instead of storing the data on-chain, NFTs instead contain a URL that poin

It's not not purely prepaid. It is purely prepaid through I might favor another way of saying it that specifically says that they don't offer any services on a postpaid basis. But even if you define purely prepaid differently from

It's inaccurate to say that it isn't purely prepaid , because that could be taken to mean that some services are available to be postpaid, with a due date. Here you can see that a negative balance isn't the same sort of thin

It's not an accurate correction. It's prepaid with an ability to incur a small amount of negative balance, partly for protection against downtime or data loss and partly so the systems can have some time to shut off (it would be h

I think perhaps they'll crash more than others because they aren't AI enough. It's more of an AI financing bubble than an AI bubble.

That is an opinion framed as a fact. There's plenty to rub a coder the wrong way, such as the sigil in builtin functions like @import, the dot syntax in structures (.{}, Timestamp{ .seconds = 0, .nanos = 0, };), triple slash comments (

Indeed. I have my agent edited files in podman in Lima, under two layers, and it's fine, because I do most stuff within my podman VMs. (I have shared volumes so I can review things before pushing the changes to my forge in separate con

> LLMs don’t care about UX Many parts of the LLM care about UX, and you unlock it with your feedback loop, which is a good way to unlock it but one of many ways. One way to show that LLMs care about UX is to have one tutor you about UX.

That looks pretty good, but it isn't quite there yet, for me. If you try to delete the opening fence, the closing fence turns into a closing fence, and the abstraction leaks in tables.

The goodness of the people in the chain make me think that the rider would have had a much greater than 50% chance of following through properly. But it's good that Django decided to further increase the odds by taking matters into his

AFAICT no. It's similar to Hermes Agent and the Hermes JavaScript engine. They are two very different things. Though you could argue that both Helix projects are editors but I don't think that's meaningful in this instance.

This seems to be quite a recent development. duckduckgo has Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in the title. Google and the title tag on the website do not. As for the value of Bill Gates as a husband or of his foundation, the positives do

SDL is written in C. So it can support it without too much trouble. And some people are compiling stuff to run on DOS. So it makes sense. And your objection doesn't hold any water.

No, this bug is specific to iTerm2. As for whether there is something as bad for ghostty floating out there, I would hope not. It's a strong goal for it not to be. In Ghostty (and also the terminal I currently use, WezTerm) modularity
