   I like the look of this, do you have any plans to release it for iPad?

   The system I built it for was invite only so the mesh was self-building, and yeah, there was a karma-like system that affected the trust levels, which in turn then gave users extra privileges such as more invites. Most of this was hidden fr

   All perfectly fair. I tend to start from the point of view that economists are all great at telling us why something happened but terrible at telling us what will happen.

   The internet is going to become like William Basinski's Disintegration Loops, regurgitating itself with worse fidelity until it's all just unintelligible noise.

   I actually built this once, a long time ago for a very bizarre social network project. I visualised it as a mesh where individuals were the points where the threads met, and as someone's trust level rose, it would pull up the trust lev

   Sorry, missed your reply. He's quite a well respected economist, and also presenter of the Pushkin podcast Cautionary Tales along with a lot of economics adjacent stuff for BBC radio and TV. Didn't mean for my question to sound sn

    I have some sympathies with the parent post as Zed is my daily driver and I mostly write Python. Pyright is horrible to work with, tons of false positives. Parent poster - you might find this useful: https://github.com/zed

    I keep those rarely used ones in there as a useful record of the syntax that I created the alias to get around in the first place. Fish shell's abbreviations are even more useful in this respect as they expand to the full command.

    This looks very interesting purely because I can just about see from the very fast gif on the README that it has tasks in there, how much of a first class citizen they are of the app could be really important. It blows my mind that both Sla

    Could be a lot of fun creating and deploying adversarial bots to lure these things down rabbit holes.

    Or maybe OpenAI could wait until they'd released it before telling people to use it now .

    As someone who doesn't use anything OpenAI (for all the reasons), I have to agree with the GP. It's all baffling. Why is there an o3-mini and an o4-mini? Why on earth are there so many models? Once you get to this point you&#x27

    Well, it's important to start with saying I didn't like it as much as Tailscale, but I liked it a lot more than any of the others I tried. The UI for their dashboard is very good and getting it up and running was pretty troubl
