Ah, AutoLisp, that brings back the memories. I can tell you that a good number of the design drawings for the higher floors in the Venetian resort in Las Vegas were assembled with AutoLisp scripts. The scripts I created grabbed components f

I used to work in the industry. I know the guys responsible for real-time data capture from various platforms like Roku and Visio. I 100% agree, and I own very nice LG TVs. They are not connected to the internet. They each have an Apple TV

After I posted here, I went to mermaid.js.org to submit it as an integration, and I embarrassingly realized... I forgot to add direct support for simple mermaid diagrams without any markdown at all. So I just fixed that and released a small

That's your reasoned choice. I wasn't given that opportunity to make that choice. Most people aren't given that choice. That's my complaint. Especially when the delta is less than one year. That's just quibbling.

The age gating of needing to be 50 years old to get the shingles vaccine is really obnoxious. I had shingles outbreaks twice in my life, one in my early 30's and once at 48. Obviously, both before 50 years old. I had to argue with my

I don't know that I'm particularly comfortable sending all my terminal commands off to a random site when a video could do just as well. I presume the reason you're doing that is so you can reconstruct it at whatever resolut

I've been using MCP servers with ChatGPT, but I've had to use external clients on the API. This works straight from the main client or on their website. That's a big win.

I would actually be happy to stream some of the work I do. My project is entirely open source and I have some unique stuff I'm doing, but I'm not really all that happy about not seeing a stream of a set of videos that I would have

I agree that it's an easy to fake demo and at the same time, if they're going to fake it, why make it seem so slow? As to whether typing speed is a bottleneck for most people, maybe not most people, but definitely some people, and

Would that show up more with heavily cached data or less? Because I've been using very heavily cached data on the order of 30 to 1 cache versus not. And I haven't had much trouble with Claude Code at all in the last month. A few p

Classic AI hype update! Fine they are basically doing their own interface language on toolsets that we already have access to, and maybe that particular design language will fit the sweet spot for some folks. Does it add anything actually

bleary eyed, waking up while trying to find my reading glasses would make that interface essentially useless.

I can see the decision to do it this way being related to their private secure cloud infrastructure for AI tools.

I’m talking about pruning a local LLM not using their service. There are plenty of ways to prune and distill. Heck DeepSeek was distilled from other models. You could simply run a distillation using Hex, then convert those outputs back to

I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t that mean that it is somewhat trivial to find all the censorship in the model and prune it to create an uncensored model? Just ask it for all of the things it cannot say, in hex, an

I second the annoyance from the "category" being required in the task creation section without having any way to create a category in the task creation section. Creating a category isn't even a heavy lift process in its own

How rude, what do our bathing habits have to do with this? ;-) But, fair point. The gist I was trying to get across is that I don't even know what a plant smells like to you, and you don't know what a plant smells like to me. Thos

Well, I have synesthetic smell/color senses, so I don’t even know what other humans experience, nor they me. But, I have described it in detail to many people and they seem to get the idea, and can even predict how certain smells will

Wait till all the videos ever created are tokenized and ingested into a training dataset. Carpentry techniques are certainly there. The subtleties of parenting maybe harder to derive from that, but maybe lots of little snippets of people’s

Adding one pixel at any level is the equivalent of adding me or infinite numbers of pixels, smaller and smaller levels. However, I think if you add in the pixel in a empty space at its level, it would simply disappear. I don't think it

Imagination is fun. I'm pretty sure I can make your brain break a little bit more. Imagine they're all looped and there is no bottom level fastest super infinite computer.

To control which monitor an app opens on a multi monitor Mac setup. First hover over the dock on the monitor you want the app to open on. Then open the app. It will treat that monitor like its main monitor.

The patent folks are pointing to is not what this Holotile is made of. The Holotiles are slanted disks that can both rotate around the vertical axis and the slanted axis, with control motors for each tile. The Ultrasonic stuff is for a di

For Twitter, his plan is the opposite of hyper growth. He doesn't just plan on bankrupting it, i.e. making Twitter's debts unmanageable for its revenue and assets. No, his plan is to actually ruin the company and any of its remai

Not only are the model weights on the drive, but while everyone was distracted a virus was loaded onto the servers to destroy all other copies on the system. Team two is melting the backups offsite.

This particular board won’t even let ChatGPT help the CEO because they’re afraid there’s a Basilisk hiding in every response.

I had ChatGPT give me some proposals for screenplays. My favorite was Rainbow MosAIc, a Rashomon style film taking place mainly from Friday to Monday. It played with all the different potential motivations and theories. It did a half decent
