While this is clearly a problem and a challenge to address, the thing that never gets mentioned with this line of criticism is the obvious: a large number of real-life teachers make mistakes ALL the time. They harbor wrong / out-dated

In a world of IKEA, people still perfect the craft of handmade furniture. In the era of the camera, people kept painting. Some still paint landscapes — others were driven to create new forms of expression. Poets still exist in the era of tw

Hey everyone, I wanted to share something I've been working SO hard on – a new version of Vibescape for Apple Vision Pro. Vibescape is an immersive meditation app that I first launched on day one of Apple Vision Pro's release. Tha

I dunno – I look at the original Jurassic Park and it still looks pretty amazing to me. Same with Terminator II. In many ways I feel like as directors got more and more capabilities with the tools they became comically overused. I don'

Hmm, well – Objective-C holds a place in my heart. It's not for everyone, but it's really where I got my start and I think it's a beautiful language and had an incredibly unique community around it that started with all the N

You'll definitely have a much more pleasant time following conventions – which arguably provides the best user experience. But for those times when you just really have to have something non-conventional, I've found that the UIVie

I built my first iOS app in 2010. Today, it's fantastically easier to get started. A night and day comparison. My biggest piece of advice: pick something you're interested in, build it, see how it comes out, and then do it again.

I've built my career on Apple platforms and honestly this is basically what people have said about it since the beginning. I'll offer a counter and say that if you like the Apple ecosystem, there's never been a better time to

Biochar is a lot like this. It's believed to have created the incredible soils of the Amazon basin. Basically, wood gets burned to charcoal rather than ash, and the carbon is then buried – creating rich organic soil. One thing worth me

Serra's work is just one of those things that completely changed my world. I don't know how old I was, but walking through his pieces made me realize that art could be larger than life. Truly a giant of the 20th century.

This is beautifully executed. Game of Life must be the first simulation I ever took on as a programmer — and have revisited it over the years. To this day it continues to come up in my mind when people muse about things like consciousness.

Intriguing, but frustratingly little detail in the slideshow of what the changes entailed, and to what degree the could preserve the historic character while modifying the building envelope.

I'm so grateful both to have grown up during the birth of the web, and to have read Stoll's books as a kid. I was introduced to his work through The Cuckoo's Egg, which had me absolutely riveted. And then read "Silicon S

I've been working a lot in Apple Vision Pro, using Xcode and also spatial visionOS windows for various things like messaging, browsing, etc. Personally, with my ZEISS inserts for my prescription, the text is incredibly sharp. I often w

This seems highly subjective. I'm DEEP in the AI Art space and yet I still love looking at traditional art, photography posts on instagram. This is like saying that post-photography there was no reason to look at paintings anymore. And

The thing a lot of people here seem to still be missing is that "no evidence", coming from scientific authorities, carries an implication that there's no evidence. But with science, we don't actually _know_ that to be tr

No evidence sounds definitive. "We _lack_ evidence" would be clearer, for instance, because it at least suggests that their _could_ be evidence, but it hasn't been found yet.

Replied re: tokens elsewhere on this page, but good feedback on the live prompt editor. That was something people really wanted during beta testing, but I can see your point! Perhaps a setting to turn that off for people who don't cons

That's helpful feedback, thanks. Sounds like it feels like a dark pattern to you. My goal here isn't to trick people. That's why I decided to offer a $1 token pack – I figured it's low stakes for people to try it out, se

Ah, I see. Without seeing hands in the video, it's hard to see every last brushstroke – but that's how tokens are deducted, per-brushstroke. They're also used when you hit the dice button for a random seed, or change the prom

A local model and upfront cost isn't something that's likely in the short term, but not out of the cards entirely. I'm hoping to eventually add a free tier generation mode for once you've run out of "fast" gene

Thanks! Tokens are per generation. Interesting feedback on the canvas orientation. There's a zero state label that tells you where to draw / where the AI will show up. But sounds like maybe it's a little subtle. The biggest r
