   Calling yourself rationalists: frames everyone else as irrational. It reminds me Kier Starmers Labour, calling themselves "the adults in the room". Its a cheap framing trick, belying an emptiness on the people using it.

   Wonderful. Did you simulate through weird bitplains of VGA? I found them hard to get my head round, still do.

   An authoritarian streak amongst management. Something funny about dealing with AWS tech is that it's so full of bureaucracy, it feels like dealing with a soviet government department at times.

   What is this? If it's not a hackable toy pig it'll be disappointing.

   This category of app should absolutely be offline first. If the data is shared it needs to be controlled by the user every time and not in a way that automatically goes to advertisers.

   I worked in Glu Mobile when EA took them over. The US folks were all told to leave immediately. In the UK they had to give us notice and pay, also negotiate with employee representatives.

    Sure, though the 4 day week is really taking the same amount of pay as you would for 5 days, so it's not the same.

    Having elasticsearch, as this resource hungry slow to update JVM based thing always seems so horrible in Django based projects. In that world, using haystack and choosing a backend based on C++ is so much less hassle for deployment. Althoug

    I mean.. I hate having to use elasticsearch, so this is quite a feat. (To be fair, I've only worked on projects that use ES where it is entirely unnessacary).

    And some of the CEOs of LLM companies seem to believe in it, and that "AGI" will come from their LLM work - both of which are utterly insane points of view.

    Awesome. If this gets really popular I could imagine perspective transforms being proposed for SVG itself.

    There were a lot of things that made Flash good for creatives / non programmers. I think the "one big file" is a part people neglect to mention, it means you can just copy that to ftp and the site is deployed. Modern Web tech

    GIMP - The team is small, and some devs can be funded. WACUP - DrO is building upon the parts of winamp that were open sourced around the Winamp 3 era and gradually building all the other parts (since Winamp was plugin based this is doable

    It's great when building software and testing locally, e.g. in a docker setup.

    Does that train have the British Advanced Passenger Train in it's ancestory? The carriage shape that is narrower at the top looks familiar.

    We have a few lines with decent guages. At almost every election before this version of Labour got in, the Tories would promise all sorts of rail projects then immediately cancel them after the election. One project was a goods "spine&

    This is idea nails it. I can ask the LLM infinite "stupid questions". For all the things I know a little about, it can push me in the direction of an average in that field. I can do lots of little prototypes and find the gaps then

    This is an ongoing project, not a past project though ? I thought this is a project for a new railway, not reguaging existing track ?
