“Stealing is a skill” is catchy but doesn’t express the underlying concept as well as your other principles. I would suggest “learn by copying good things”, or “quality work is where you find it” or something to that effect.

BTW sorry for my rudeness, I find your project very cool and I love calligraphic type projects. I was so excited that I wanted to share something related to you. :-)

You should look at some Arabic calligraphy- there is a lot of artistic Arabic calligraphy where passages from the Quran, poetry, and other text are written beautifully as art.

I don’t think there’s a vendetta. I think that Dario is an ideologue who has been letting his ideology cloud his business judgment. I don’t think he’s playing 4D chess; I think he truly believes all the “AI is going to eliminate all the jo

My only concern is that AI agents won’t be good at this. For better or worse, they “understand” and have seen a lot of message queuing code and read lots of message queue support discussions.

> the purpose of these markets is to provide fair bets for entertainment Pretty sure this statement is 100% wrong. You’re describing a gambling site. Is that how governments are treating them?

I’m completely failing to get outraged here. I think that the person misused Google internal information and deserves termination or other discipline, but I’m struggling to otherwise see the harm in what they did. Is insider trading a crime

If you only have one AI window open, you’re doing it wrong. You task swap to another window/agent, get it working on something, rinse and repeat. I can keep 4 busy most of the time. When I task swap I also check in on what the other

I’ve been on the defender side of security my whole career. I know in some markets crime pays more than legitimate work, but it never ceases to amaze me how much thought, effort, planning, and engineering goes into providing infrastructure

I don’t depend on one shot prompts with lots of constraints to reliably produce, well, anything. For any nontrivial task I spend 2-8 hours in specification (I spent 3-4 hours on a stateless rust CLI tool design this weekend) and detailed ta

I set up a Unifi system in Thailand that has to be downstream (DHCP) from an ISP provided router. Both Unifi and ISP device want 192.168.1.x and want to be the DHCP server and there’s no easy way to tell Unifi that “WAN” is 1 hop away. I a

I have always called this the “one true taxonomy” problem, because whenever you sit with multiple stakeholders in a room talking about a taxonomy, you can never get to agreement, because there is no such thing as the “one true taxonomy”. An

I love this. The best documentation is that which is presented at the exact place and time that it is needed, and users self support really well if you do that. I once worked for $COMPANY and we had a network scanning application. Always g

Well that there is your problem, LaTeX is using imperial points, and Inkscape is using metric points. You need to start using SI points that are defined using wavelengths of ground state emissions of a decaying Americium atom.

I dunno, it’s kinda futuristic, but it’s missing the faux 3d effect where it appears to have warped up close to you and left a trail of light behind it, like the Star Trek example of the end. Nothing says “future” like fake 3d effects.

IANAL, but I wonder what it means for an agent to “agree” to terms of service or to “agree” to pay for something. Can agents enter into contracts? It’s a straightforward technical problem to wrap an API or MCP or something around the “crea

There are many projects that should not be built agentically. For things that are appropriate to build with agents, I have come to hold the strong opinion that you need to go all-in. If you built it with an agent, then you fix it with an a

Flock is doing something I find unethical, even immoral, but maybe not illegal. I want people who break the law to go to jail. I don’t care if they’re cops or c-suite execs. But what I really want is laws (preferably federal) that make it

I disagree with the premise - interesting but I interpret the same fact pattern differently. The history of technology is the replacement of manual processes with automated ones. Consider a very basic process: checkout of a restaurant. Writ

AI layoffs are very shortsighted IMO and should be viewed by investors as a sign of weakness in management or the business itself. If everyone is going to increase productivity by some factor k per employee, then kx is the new norm of overa

Mixing in geothermal and hydro really distorts the story. Although technically correct, the common usage connotation of “renewable energy “ today is “wind and solar”.
