having a .zip of the world, also helps, even though being a lossy one. i mean - always have one of the latest models around, ready for spin. we can easily argue llms are killing the IT sphere, but they also are a reasonable insurance agains

I adore dither as a tool for my designs. Kudos to Atkinson and everyone involved in the introduction of these algos. They mean a whole world of childhood to me, and a lot more. p.s. dithermark.com is super cool also.

Can definitely become a trend given so many devs out there and so much that AI can produce at home which can be of arbitrary code quality…

Batching. Yes. And one thing it can help you locally is when you rate certain content and want to make sure it didn’t hallucinate. So you toss 3 or 5 times or… batch_size times .) Curious that batch if has been there from day one, but it ta

indeed, back in the day i'd love to write perl code such as this() and that() or otherr() and fail(); so this all seems very reasonable, and clear, and people who read the code hated it. I've tried many times to do it in JS sadly

Indeed, your statement may be unpopular, but I would laugh this off in a similar manner. After spending reasonable amount of time in my life creating websites, designs (for print and web) with every technology you can imagine - from REX BBS

well, in all honesty, a lot of code that actually works in production, and delivers... goods, services, etc. is an over patched mess of code snippets. that sad part is that cpus are so powerful that it works.

So Steam OS is not based on Wine and other OSS libs? What does it mean really that Valve takes steps forward to making some OS windows-compatible? is it only ever a single company doing it?

It makes so much sense to be careful with the international information highway, while focusing on local robotics and small tribe-like distributed communities. i can see this future. perhaps it also has the franchises from the Diamond Age

Indeed, I love opening it now and then and it is easy to see these people do work of monumental importance. Once gets the feeling of being on a website which actually matters, and has ever kept the spirit of 90s web activism.

my French is not much better, sorry. still hoping I was able to get a point through. let me reiterate - total collapse of context. and I did not invent it. we are back to selling culture at bazaars.

This article resonates so bad with me, like as if I did write it. This all the author writes about is called collapse of context. And people been waking up to noticing it, writing about it, eventually becoming victims. Everyone who previous
