Cthulu is supposed to rise and induce madness in the population, driving them towards death and destruction right? Seems like he'd be bored these days

Yeah, local is clearly the future. Even beyond the cheap Chinese models you can install the apfel[1] stuff if you're on a mac and want a quick available onboard cli option. And I'm sure people will adapt the Flash-MoE[2] integrati

One thing that has been driving me bat shit as an FE for years is the lack of browser engine implemented basic UI elements as default HTML. The fact that we still need to build custom carousels[1], tooltips, and other common patterns instea

At a previous job, we had to refactor our entire front end build system from Rollup(I believe it was) to a custom Webpack build because of this attitude. Our FE process was completely disconnected from the code on the site, existing entirel

Feed, cloth and educate our population? What's next? Structure society in a way that benefits the people? How horrifying!

I'm curious if there is a particular technical reason you chose to make this as a separate script rather than some kind of Jellyfin plugin? I actually appreciate that you did it in this fashion (more useful for me personally), just cur

What a neat LLM question! Most of my results were the same as what you posted except for the first time I asked it which resulted in this pretty interesting answer: Taiwan is in the Taiwan Standard Time (TST) zone, which is UTC+8, while t

Louis Rossman recently posted a video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2QF9JwtLc ) where he had Gemini replace his 10+ year carefully curated content with AI slop and he instantly shot (back) up to the top of the rankings.

I think a web ring combined with some kind of web of trust style system would be nice. Ideally they could be both centralized where an initial creator holds the keys to what's allowed and decentralized where it just sort of exists. I h

My understanding is that it's quite easy to poison the models with inaccurate data, I wouldn't be surprised if this exact thing has happened already. Maybe not an AI company itself, but it's definitely in the purview of a hos

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. I love it.

Yeah, seriously. I've seen musicians nearly come to blows over tube vs solid state amps. Music has even more anger associated with brands and technique than gaming or tech. It's just not flooding the algos like AI currently is

If you can, find an old tape deck at a thrift store and look into cassettes as well. They're super fun to find and you can buy new ones from groups on Bandcamp usually way cheaper than any other merch offerings and still get the high q

It's actually a regression overall compared to physical media like DVDs and Blurays. No director commentaries, no behind the scenes, no silly menu games, etc. Streaming would theoretically allow for tons of this type of content to be m

>improve things they are already doing repeatedly. For example, I click the same button in Epic every day because Epic can't remove a tab. Maybe Copilot could learn that I do this and just...do it for me? You could solve that issue

Copyparty has been one of my favorite home lab tools since it popped up. Way better than Samba, less hassle than NextCloud, seemingly has more features than FileBrowser and similar. The config can be a bit daunting, but once it clicks it&#x

I just cracked open osx voice over for the first time in a while and hoo boy, you weren't kidding. I wonder if you could still "stun" an LLM with this technique while also using some aria-* tags so the original text isn'

I've been a web/ux guy for a long time now and I don't think I've ever used a single mobile app/site that is better than a proper full screen piece of software. It's always been a compromise no matter how hard

I love this. Internet UIs have completely degraded over the last decade and seeing an actual company decide to try something different is beautiful. I barely see devs or designers try anything new. This team even added a screen saver if you

This is also how I have traditionally looked at new codebases. I don't necessarily actually clean it up (I dislike changing someones style unless it is completely necessary) but I build up a mental model similar to what you're out

Holy moly, for years I've had in the back of my head this thought about why, earlier in my career, I'd see random doubly submitted form submissions on certain projects. Same form code and processing as other sites, legitimate subm
