Exactly. It's also a complete self-own. You know who can name several painters with highly anticipated upcoming shows? Literally anyone who actually cares about painting. Sometimes (often) when people get older, they stop listening t

On ubuntu or macOS? I've found Vapor to be pretty solid—and the Vapor team is super responsive via Github and Discord.

Give it another shot—it is an ideal language for server-side code. The team has been working on error messages and compile times a lot over the past few years. At this point, it's extremely productive. If you run into trouble, you can

I guess anyone downvoting this has never had to install three versions of Python under two different environment managers only to find out that requirements.txt was never right to begin with

It’s a Python repo, so if you don’t run it the day it was pushed, you’re basically a computer historian.

Yeah, I agree that something just feels missing, but I can't put a finger on it. Maybe you're right that it's self-awareness. The current models seem to have no metacognition, and even the "reasoning" hack isn'

I think what this highlights is that we're really missing a clear definition of "AGI." By 2020 standards, we probably have AGI, but the bar keeps moving. Is AGI just a frontier model that is continually running rather than tr

Wow, it took me a minute to figure out how his entry works. You really could read that code and assume it was correct. The resulting image is perfectly redacted visually, and the missing data is not appended or hidden elsewhere in the file.

Cool project, but I can't understand why they created their own protocol rather than just building this on ActivityPub

One of the big takeaways for me is that traditional K12 education doesn’t work for a significant chunk of the US population. We have a pedagogical problem with a pharmaceutical solution.

I agree with the author… We need to stop pathologizing behavior that is developmentally natural. We over-medicate kids, full stop. The ADHD self-diagnosis trend amongst adults also needs to stop. People are now ascribing any minor challenge

This is awesome! But be careful, if you dig much further you're going to get into blue noise, which is a very deep rabbit hole.

Super interesting. You can see why Apple would be interested in strictly controlling output. I wonder if any of this work found its way into the Image Playground.

Not to be a hater, but this is Ben Thomspon's style. Dial up the word count until people think your analysis is comprehensive, to disguise the fact that you're not saying anything substantive.

Amazingly, this is exactly what Russia has been trying to do for years now: introduce chaos and uncertainty. Capitalism can handle bad news all day long, but it can't withstand prolonged unpredictability and ambiguity.

Quartz was a great site, with a really innovative iOS app on multiple fronts. They were always doing something interesting. It's sad that independent media faces such an uphill battle. At this point, what ambitious entrepreneur would e

Here's the better design: have agents communicate via Mastodon. Take a basic JSON payload, encrypt it using basic public key encryption, and attach it to a DM. This is far better than designing an entirely new protocol, as ActivityPub

Ha, nice! I've used the Swift shebang before, but honestly once you have something that works as a "script," it's so easy to convert it to a real command line utility via Swift Argument Parser [0] that I usually spend th

I think you hit the nail on the head. By extending Go to many platforms, it doesn't feel like you're using a corporate-sponsored language (though you are). The Swift team is aware that they need to help the language thrive in othe
