Thanks! I started on this last week in my spare time and I used Claude, all my commit history is on Github. I did most of the coding via Claude Code, no fancy system or exotic harness. I would love to do more by hand, but I look after a tec

You can play around in the guestbook. I'm in it right now and you can see me editing things. Cloudflare Durable Objects are pretty cheap and I'm using it like a very basic pub/sub with each deck having it's own DO. I did

Yeah, if you do a lot of slides, this is for you! The whole point of this is to make doing slides bearable!

Thanks for sharing this! Let me take a look. I was only aware of TiddlyWiki when I first started on Bento.

Thanks! I guess there are some drawback to this approach, large companies especially would be completely adverse to it. But it's cool and I'm hoping people would find it useful!

It's really to solve a use case where there are a lot of these cool web-based presentations being created by AI, but they are all disposable things that non-technies can't work with easily. Base64 is paired with compression to kee

Hi, I'm the creator of Bento. Just wanted to share a bit more about how I created it beyond what's in Github. The file contains more or less two sections. There is a plain block of JSON near the top of the file which is the slide

You forgot smartphones, where low-cost did not win out. It led to low margins for the Chinese firms and eventually left them unable to invest properly in key markets. They may still hold marketshare, but in terms of profits, falls well shor

More to do with how the ARM ecosystem works and the resulting lack of openness and standardisation in the hardware interface.

CDBC doesn't necessarily imply blockchain. It can be just another payments system.

Chatbots are good at helping humans arrive at the specification. Apart from people that has deep expertise and/or talent in this area, humans aren't very good at building these specifications. That's the topic of this exchang

I guess the flip side to that is the iterative conversation to develop these specifications is exactly what AI chatbots are good at. It's also the main reason why very structured AI agent orchestration for software engineering modelled

Nope, just break up the one that has been consistently found to be abusing their market position. Microsoft has been embroiled in this since the 90s.

Exactly. You might not like what Google does, but you can't deny it's a massive commercial success. Just because their approach to creating and delivering apps might not be to your liking, you might actually be the niche.

Yes, zero Forex fees cards work. But the terminal detects that your home currency is different to the local currency and you still have to choose the right option. For example, just the other day I fat fingered the screen and chose the wron

That's the nature of decentralised control. It's not just DNS, phone numbers work in the same way.

Combination of factors, but mostly the success Douyin had in Mainland China leading to the investment in TikTok internationally, given that no other Chinese social app had reach this level of penetration.

Vine had more active users than Musically, and look what happened to Vine. It would have never had the investment internationally if not for the blow-out success it had inside Mainland China.

TikTok is a fluke, created by the condition of how it was originally born as Douyin in China. It is also the only app that translated well from the domestic China market to international markets. Being backed by lots of VC cash and Bytedanc

The reality is that hacking code isn't always beautiful. Most of the time, it is mundane grunt work. You can always leave the core logic for your to work on and have the AI handle all the bits that you don't like to do. This is wh

Pretty sure we can make LLM agents to transform declarative inputs to agentic action.

The rate limits are not because of compute performance or the lack of. It's to stop people from training their own models on the very cutting edge.

Translation between languages and into logical representations is one of the main goals of NLP since the 1950s.

What makes you think that Google hasn't developed natural language processing, when they launched Google Translate in 2006? Also, what makes you think that NLP would solve the problem you're describing? Only LLMs has proven that i

Bingo. Because it's just another Claude Code fanpost. I mean I like Claude Code too, but there is enough room for more than one CLI agentic coding framework (not Codex though, cuz that sucks j/k).
