> We have all seen proofs where faulty platemaking or light inking has lost all hairlines in a delicate roman. Raphael Boguslav observed the effect and understood it as a sophisticated form of stencil design. Two clicks in.

I've had some luck with an alarm clock that must be flipped over to be silenced. Every night, I set a cup of water on top of it, and every morning after I've silenced it, I'm left holding a cup of water—with which I can'

Which aspects of postmodernism threaten which aspects of the Gundam franchise? Or are you just alluding to the dominance of digital goods over physical hobbies such as model-building? I'll admit, I don't know where the money

> the platform owners where you have most of your digital life Yup! The hardest part of operationalizing GenAI has been, for me, dragging the "ring" of my context under the light cast by "streetlamp" of the model. Jus

In that vein, I highly recommend Katy Bowman's "Move Your DNA," and "Whole Body Barefoot." Bowman's biomechanical analysis of modern movement, furniture, and the built environment has changed the way I walk, si

That's all well and good when you're test-driving, but when you're spelunking into a legacy codebase it can be awfully hard to identify "intent," so it's good to know when you've changed any observable beh

Thank you! It feels a bit crazy-making to see a post like this published with no mention of eg rspec "matchers", ubiquitous in Ruby land for decades. I'm somewhat dismayed that this even needs to be said in 2024; I'll be

That Francis Crick was under the influence of LSD when he discovered the double helix structure of DNA is a widely circulated myth, but I've seen no evidence for it. In “Francis Crick: Discoverer of the Genetic Code,” Matt Ridley clari

Thanks, this is how I view it, too: there will always be relevant context that was unavailable at training, eg because it didn't exist yet, because it doesn't belong to the trainers, or because it wasn't yet known to be relev

Sure, but that inertia carries you over the myriad alignment traps strewn like potholes over the face of your production–possibility frontier.

Thanks for sharing! I look forward to playing with this once I get off my phone. Took a look at the code, though, to see if you've implemented any of the tricks I've been too lazy to try. `text_splitter=RecursiveCharacterTextSplit

My first thought was "all this goes out the window once you scale from pets to livestock," but my second thought was that, of course, we can automate these things, too. eg human-readable-id[0] and some others I in a markdown page.

Self explanatory UI is a helluva tall order, but I think my local-first PWA-aspiring software designs are instant, frictionless and, well, local-first and privacy conscious? Check out https://druthers.app with a friend.

Seems cool, but didn't utilize my GPU? At any rate, definitely a futuristic POC, and prototype for the way I see desktop software going in the next few years.

You don't think you're cutting off your nose to spite your face? Maybe all those user-hostile features are a small price to pay for the resources to ship the "vital few" that are positively game-changing for your custome
