Good point. The license for the actual library is on top of the file: https://github.com/no-gravity/0g-typeahead/blob/master/0g-ty... The project is pretty much that one file. Twitter put the license the

I like small libraries which are just a single file. That's why I am maintaining a fork of the original typeahead library from bootstrap. It is less than 400 lines of javascript: https://github.com/no-gravity/0g-ty

how is it "created"? As YC puts it: Make something people want.

In another thread about this, someone mentioned Lemmy, a federated alternative to Reddit: https://lemmy.one/communities/listing_type/All/page/1 Looks like an interesting approach.

Has anyone here made an accurate 5 year roadmap? In 1961, Kennedy proclaimed that the USA would put a man on the moon within the decade. And in 1969 they did.

Call center agent is no longer a job with a secure future I guess. If 5000 call center agents saw an average increase in productivity by 14%, that means the company now needs 700 people less to handle all incoming calls. I wouldn't be

Could be a fun project to put all the steps outlined in the install guide [1] into a single script which turns a fresh Debian 12 install into a running Reddit instance. [1] https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

I love the halton sequence. Super useful in many situations. I'm surprised Wikipedia describes it as "an example of a quasi-random number". To me, the Halton Sequence answers the question: In a given n-dimensional area, where

I always considered Rule 110 the simplest system (code complexity wise) that is turing complete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110 I wonder if the Langton's ant algorithm (say in Javascript) is shorter. My gu

The benefit is that you don't have to type (or paste) your question for every engine you want to try. You can also click on "more engines" and add Google or whichever engine you usually use and make it your one-stop-dashboard

In a similar vain, I provide this tool to talk to all free and open LLMs which don't need a login: https://www.gnod.com/search/ai Feedback is welcome. So far I know about 3. I would expect there to be more and mor

But why are there no other public webclients that let you create an identity and communicate via the AT protocol?

by mg 3y ago
The invite-only aspect is part of the protocol?

I tried Nostr on a web client. It was pretty easy. Just going to the website was enough. I have not seen such a thing for Bluesky yet. Is there a client online that one can simply use by visiting a website?
741.
by mg 3y ago
I have not yet tried Bluesky, but paradoxically, I think the "success" that currently everybody wants to try Bluesky might be an indicator that it will fail. If there is so much demand, why does nobody offer a free and open client

Nice one! We can crunch that down to: Cite a reputable article for the trend of tech layoffs. I gave it 3 tries and it hallucinated every time.

Do you have an example? What is a simple prompt that makes ChatGPT hallicunate? I tried googling for "chatgpt hallicunation examples", but they all seem to not work anymore.

Awesome! That's pretty cool. So the ID of an ActivityPub actor is simply a url. That is great. I think Mastodon should have made it so that the url for their users is hostname/username and that is their ID as well. That would have

You say "the url works" as if there is a clearly defined url for every Fediverse user. But the way I read the specs, that is not the case. Some servers link you to hostname/users/username, some use hostname/@usernam

That is one of the aliases. The same holds true for ... https://masto.ai/users/mg https://masto.ai/@mg ... and the server could povide as many aliases as it wants to. I wouldn't call thos

There is no mention of "identities" or "identity" in the spec either. So if a person is available via ActivityPub, how do they reference their "identity"? When you want to say "Follow me via ActivityPub: .
