Basically as you see on the website - “Connect to GitHub and publish”, “GitHub Pages is a free service to host websites”, etc. I do think the target user for this would probably have needed to heard of GitHub to really “get it” - but maybe

Sweet, didn’t know about this - yes, this is very similar.

Sure, Lovable/v0 free tier is a good option, although I’m not sure how many non-tech people use them for things like personal sites or to quickly publish something they want to share. It feels like they’re going more after “builders”,

There's an "export to Canva" button in Claude Design, so perhaps they're hoping this will be another entry point for new users, or that they'll be able to "lock in" as the default design software for Claud

It's not "sci fi" but you should read Borges' short stories, particularly from Ficciones. You may have already read his story The Library of Babel: https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/w

The "build step" with Hugo/Astro might be slightly simpler. But as mentioned in the post, I find it surprisingly nice not to have to write strict Markdown. It turns out (at least for me) that formatting with Markdown still fe

Wouldn't this mean we're even more cooked? I've seen this page cited a few times as evidence that Mythos is no big deal, but if true then the same big deal is already out there with other models today.

To be fair, I think Prime Air is real, but I've only heard about it when they've had drone crashes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGdOpR-Mv-E AFAIK it's only available in a few very specific places (seeming

I like to read Ed (and Gary) as a counterbalance to the AI hype that is pervasive. But Ed reads more and more like he has been personally wronged by the AI companies and is on a righteous crusade to destroy them. He has plenty of valid crit

True, good point. I still think the piece goes too far with its claims.

I would respect Ed (and Gary Marcus) more if they would concede the occasional point. But everything AI is always a hyperbolic and unqualified disaster. I suppose that's what the audience wants. "every bit of AI demand ... that ex

The 1960s and 70s were extremely turbulent, chaotic times in the US - the Civil Rights era, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, multiple high-profile assassinations, etc. Apollo 8 launched at the end of 1968, which was a famously challenging yea

Portland has so much to offer (especially in terms of restaurants and neighborhoods) it's hard to sum up in an article like this! I'm sure that's true of any medium to large city, but I think Portland punches above its popula

It seems pretty clear there is some sort of bug that only some people are experiencing (or, very cynically, perhaps an A/B test). My usage hasn't seemed to change much in the past few days, but then I see reports where people are

Strongly agree with the sentiment, but I'd say if you're familiar with the terminal you may as well just install it and truly 'learn by doing'! I could see this being great for true beginners, but for them it might be ni

Interesting - thanks for this info. I'll have to look into the certificates. I wonder why it eventually worked though if the issue is expired root certificates? Realistically the laptop is pretty old even to run Catalina. I don't

Multimodal AI will lead to an interesting arms race in ad detection vs ad insertion. I played around with AI ad removal with older Gemini models, but it seems like this would be even more powerful to instantly identify ads (and potentially

Can you not make two user accounts on a Mac and sign them into different iCloud accounts? I know you're limited to one on iPhone and iPad, though.

How much longer will this be true, though? With improving computer use, it may be possible in the next ~year or so that agents will be able to wire up infrastructure and launch to production.

I believe EVs also wear tires out faster (because they are heavier), so they need more frequent replacement.

So they are comparing to the conversion rate of people who click on a link in the chat and go to Walmart's website to view the product? Wouldn't that be a really strong intent-to-buy signal? The better comparison might be conversi
