It would be great if an LLM could be trained to generate interpolated images between the 10m intervals of the full disk geocolor product. The animations would be fantastic. I've got about 2.5 years worth of that imagery if someone know

This is cool. I'd love to see a collection like this for date representations. Anyone?

I watched the 1:30 video and didn't see a single code visualization. Not one. The closest was a "visualization" of a single, unconnected node that can be moved around — all by its lonesome self — on a canvas. For some reason.

We need to make an effort to distinguish “this is a thing for humans” vs “this is a thing for bots” in our naming IMHO. In that respect, “open wiki” is not such a great name. “Agent Wiki” or similar would be better. Without such a qualifier

That’s just what was officially disclosed.

How many of those other groups have openly lobbied for war? I have no doubt there are a few others TBH. The oil industry comes to mind. The point being, it's not just the amount of money at play. That's only part of it. But you

Well it's also bad when it's done by highly trained medical experts in a modern hospital as part of gender affirming care. It's only when performed as part of a pre-medieval ritual in unhygienic conditions by non-profession

You’re right, I don’t see it. I can’t even imagine being against people coming together for a common cause. What a miserable world that would be.

I'm old enough to remember the 1980's when people largely adopted a strikingly similar "new religion" that advocated for a free South Africa. The Free Tibet "religion" was also a huge thing for a while in the

This is a key point. I don't know if you can still edit your submission, but I think this would be helpful to mention up front. I'm looking forward to testing this.

It’s the same logic behind the Trump tariff regime: “We love capitalism and free markets, except when we’re losing at it”.

Given that Grok is selling all of the compute capacity from its flagship data centre out to a direct competitor sorta speaks for itself. Does it mean they are out of the race? I have no idea, but things don't look great. https:&#x2F

Same problem here. I sure wish 1Password + Fastmail would let you generate them within the 1Password app without requiring a browser sign-up page in the middle.

That's a weird way of saying there hasn't been an election in 20 years.

Of course. But the specific claim you made was about many countries currently using census data to "round up and murder" some "specific groups of people by religion, ethnicity, etc." I'm not arguing that you don

In the original comment, you used the present tense. I think that's what was being questioned.

Thanks, yes they are all perfectly reasonable. It's just a weird choice to make. It's like they are forgoing the back hotkey to make it seem more like a "native" app. But it clearly isn't, and I can't think of

The Fastmail desktop app is literally a wrapped version of their website but with the added feature of... get this... no back button (or equivalent shortcut). My 30 years of muscle memory using webmail is made useless by this "app&quot

I used to love Fastmail, but their spam/phishing filtering (and customer service) have been really poor lately. I don't know if AI is helping or hurting them. My anecdotal experience suggests the latter. As one example, I'm n

Oh wow. I remember doing this as well... with little to no success. The debug.com binary only showed one measly ASM instruction at a time as I recall. Shudder.

This was part of it as well. At least - as I recall - with the early flat (MarioCart 1 inspired) versions I made. But in that case, the closer "terrain" pixels always became multiple on-screen pixels so my lookup table for each of

This is true. I vaguely remember there was something about the VGA architecture of the day that made this approach much slower, but I might be misremembering. My recollection of it is fuzzy. I'm hoping someone will chime in to remind m

This sure brings back memories. I remember figuring all this out as a self-taught teenager (pre-internet) with some books, a whole lot of time, and only a high-school level understanding of trigonometry. I built different versions - first i

Some ADHD folks have something called "justice sensitivity"[0]. Put plainly, we get more bothered than neurotypical folks by actions and events we view as morally wrong. I can't say for certain that this is caused by my ADHD

Well then you'll be happy to know they auto generate these every time new statistics get released[0] and they all read nearly identically . We used to call this SEO spam. Anyways, the person I responded to used a quote from the articl
