   Amazing work! This is a great project! Every time I see a project that has a great implementation on an FPGA, I lament the fact that Tabula didn’t make it, a truly innovative and fast FPGA. < https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik

   Walkaway by Cory Doctorow is a decent spiritual successor to the ideas in Omelas. It also plays on the comforts of differently structured societies like Le Guin does in The Dispossessed.

    Meditation has totally helped me widen my scope and soften my awareness. I've found these two exercises also help me get out of my default mode of perception. Image Streaming[1] is a fun little exercise that has helped me expand my per

    I wonder what the rationale for this was internally. More OpenAI issues? competitiveness with Cursor? It seems good for the user to increase competition across LLM providers. Also ambiguous title. I thought GitHub canceled deals they had in
