   I'm very intrigued by this, but I'll be much more interested when this is replicated on non-domesticated animals...! It must take some strange things to survive co-evolution with humans for several thousands years

   heh believe it or not, it was flying over a small town in New Brunswick, Canada. Hardly glamorous, just coincidentally happened the first time I had the idea to chromecast the live flight and found Airloom. I perhaps overstated, as it'

   I love airloom[1], but since yours is open source, I'll try to make use of it next time, and contribute code or ideas :) Fwiw, my use-case is simply throwing it on the TV as a screensaver of sorts for my nephews when someone they know

   My guess is that the company running this were found to be collaborating with contentious partners, and so the government is shutting down the collaboration as risk-mitigation, in order to internalize decisions within government. Ministry o

   I dislike this essay so much I can't say whether it accomplished its original intent, but my experience is that it's held up in really disappointing situations which sit counter to my collectivist values I have a ton of experience

    I'm sorry, this comment is opportunistic and a bit annoying to post here. Saying "keep the feedback coming" is not an invitation to turn this thread into the issue queue

    Don't assume pls. I'd say "ask", and you can just ask AI if you're short on time to find a Indian with sufficient humility to answer cautiously It will tell you Indians aren't monolithic, and artisans certainly

    Does this seemingly-amazing 2swap math exposition video offer any extra perspective? https://youtu.be/9HIy5dJE-zQ I ask as someone who doesn't understand as much as you, but who is charmed by such visual explanations :

    gah YES. I had a slow realization that I could just let people jump in. My goal is to maintain a constant speed and never have to hit the brakes, and I can usually still do that regardless of whether people jump line. But yes, the principle

    I feel this is a bit too pessimistic. For example, people can make tutorials that auto-certify in vouch. Or others can write agent skills that share etiquette, which agents must demonstrate usage of before PRs can be created. Yes, there&#x

    I agree, but I always assume manifestos are distillations from experience. Is it that you want to be able to inspect the experience that informs it side-by-side, in case-studies or product or something? I take it for granted that you'r

    In the civic tech hacknight community I'm part of, it's hard to collaborate the same now, at least when people are using AI. Mostly because now code often feels so disposable and fast. It's like the pace layers have changed I

    I grew up in New Brunswick. It is a strange place politically. I find it wild that the BBC never mentioned the most glaring underbelly of this: New Brunswicks most significant employer for the past 100 years is Irving Oil & Irving Paper
