Lovely! Edit: you might want to consider adding a limiter to the output, it makes a lovely crackling effect but it's easy to flatline the output until it fizzles out completely, it'd be more curious to hear the denser textures.

This is a pretty wild claim, so I think it is fair to be critical of the examples given: - Driftless sounds like it might be better as a claude code skill or hook - Deploycast is an LLM summarization service - Triage also seems like it migh

Yes, they look really good but they're being connected by an LLM.

You really know what a good interface should be like, this is really inspiring. So is the design of everything I've seen on your website! I won't pile on to what everyone else has said about the book connections / AI part of

Same thing happens to me in long enough sessions in xterm. Anecdotally it's pretty much guaranteed if I continue a session close to the point of context compacting, or if the context suddenly expands with some tool call. Edit: for a wh

I remember folks trading u-law or a-law compressed wavs before mp2 and mp3 and the perceptual codecs started to take over.

We still sandbox, quarantine and restrict them though, because they can't really behave as agents, but they're effective in limited contexts. Like the way waymo cars kind of drive on a track I guess? Still very useful, but not the

That would indeed make it meaningless.

It was special and you didn't cheat: you wrote the lyrics and they meant something to you and your wife, which is what matters. If you asked someone else to set the music for you, it would still be music about something meaningful to y

I appreciate this perspective. I'm actually hoping LLM hype will help to pop the bubble of tech salaries, make the profession roughly as profitable as going into teaching, so maybe the gold diggers will clear out and go play the stock

You sure can! They all have inline defaults like `<span>` so set some CSS baseline on them as needed, but this is like the best kept secret of HTML or something? Unknown tags will become `HTMLUnknownElement` and behave like a span. Ed

I grew up in a twin city and it's OK. It isn't an insult, St Paul and Minneapolis are close. There's no "-tucky" understanding though. They are different cities and that's fine...

I don't think that I am. I don't think that they want to be treated like they're 5, but I do think they don't want to put thought into it. We're training ourselves to offload critical thinking and I was surprised to

It's common, I know what it means. It communicated its intent properly, I think. It's surprising to me that a venture capital finance site would need to clarify the difference between value and wealth, and I would be interested in

Fair enough, but I disagree that it's a good question. "Explain it to me like I'm 5" (not even written out in words, just the abbreviation we all know) is not a curious place to come from, it is a desire for the quickest

"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. The Batmobile lost its wheel and the Joker ran away." is the version I heard as a kid in the American midwest. It's fascinating to me that this rhyme was international at a tim

What eras? I went to college in a non-populous place circa ~2001-2005 and in our state smoking bans were just starting to roll out then. Smoking was an everyone thing, and it was normal to go to smokey places on a regular basis even if you

What interests me about it is the unicode mosaic output format that looks higher quality than the usual upper half block or braille character approaches without needing to support a special protocol.

I used claude code for a while in the summer, took a vacation from LLMs and I'm trying it out again now. I've heard the same thing about Opus 4.5, but my experience with claude code so far is the same as it was this summer... I gu

This would make an interesting poll. I think that's possible here? Maybe with some karma threshold, I don't seem to be able to make one. We use flask and go at work. I've been micro-framework or roll-my-own-framework most of
