I love how all these 'brand' fonts look indistinguishable to an untrained eye and still brain-frying-bordedom-inducingly close to each other to someone like me who actually studied & worked in typography. Related: https:&#x2F

I haven't hit the "dumb zone" any more since two months. I think this talk is outdated. I'm using CC (Opus) thinking and Codex with xhigh on always. And the models have gotten really good when you let them do stuff where

The translations make no sense to a German native speaker. The list even swap meanings, i.e. between confusion and clutter. Accurate translations are: Verwirrung = Confusion Zwietracht = Discord You swapped i and e; somehow English speakder

Its worth noting that in retrospect PageMaker won the DTP wars of the 1990s. Quark XPress was the industry leader in that period (most users had a love-hate relationship with it). There was also Ventura Publisher but that had the least mark

You are sold on the Ai snake oil. There are no models that can generate art-directed VFX or motion graphics for multi-second clips without breaking consistency, missing the mark, fucking up the timing. An exact color from a customer's

That's exactly why you need judges. If the law requires no interpretation why have judges? Just go full Robo Judge Dredd. Terrifying.

I think an apple would not be stored in a CAD format like IGES or STEP but rather in OBJ, USD, FBX etc. I.e. it would not be in dataset because the use cases for 3D apples are outside of typical use cases where people resort to CAD software

What you really want is ast-grep[1]. Ripgrep is much faster than grep. But the result is not more concise and tokens are wasted. I think codex uses ast-grep by default, if installed; Claude has to be instructed? [1] https://ast-g

7 USD/day? That's ~200/month -- isn't that just very expensive? I am probably missing something. E.g. a Terragonlabs subscription is 25/month for 3 concurrent tasks and 50/month for 10.
