Not a Nate Silver fan, here, but I don't think the "right once" sentiment about him captures his record accurately. What really happened is that millions of people who have an underdeveloped understanding of what it means for

Isn't that more of a bluetooth issue? You're switching from one audio stream to two. Each now has only half the available bandwidth, at most.

So much comes from the structure of the prompt. I've played a lot with dalle-mini, because that's all I had access to, and it's interesting to take prompts from this page (OpenArt) and try them over in dalle-mini. For exampl

I played the original Sublogic Flight Simulator on my TRS-80 Model I, dogfighting three enemy flying aces, each represented as a single block "pixel". I haven't played it since Microsoft acquired it, though. Has it changed m

This reminds me that it's been a while since I've checked in on the belt machine that Ivan Godard & friends were working on at Mill Computing. It looks like their website has change a bit since I last looked: https:/&#x

To clarify, while result builders may not be as general as macros, it's not accurate to imply that they're not general. The SwiftUI DSL is but one example application.

Thank you for elaborating, that does help me appreciate your point of view better. I personally preferred that they prioritized result builders higher — I guess I agree with them that the needs of the UI layer were more urgent. It would be

I find it difficult to empathize with that reaction. Other languages have complicated corners that I can safely ignore, why not Swift? Rust has its macros, Swift has its result-builders. The latter wins a nice way to declaratively-describe
