a TUI using react seems like something they would be particularly bad at; visual feedback (esp the very specific feedback we rely on during dev, with Inspector) is kinda the Moravecs Paradox hurdle for these things. Idk much about virolog

my neigborhood is dense and -feels- like 50% immigrant, I could be wrong. The birthrate is high, the parents are working, and mobs of kids roam the street. Nature is healing.

Make a GPT filter / constitution. "1-10 how much does this post introduce useful, technical information in a clear and concise way that is likely written by a human". Something like that. Of course adjust as needed to preve

But the noise.. this has been a huge factor in my quality of life, having lived in both buildings. That issue trumps any advantage drywall has, and I spent about 10 years working with it as well. I think the market forces have simply domin

you could sign into A and your friend could sign into B using the single sign in, but you wouldn't be able to message each other is the problem, there is no platform bridging the logic gap, so you would both need to have A and B open.

I think the workflow your OP here and I use treats the timestamps (numbers) as the only value that matters. The "converted to" format is always just a temporary client side rendering, so the meticulous attention to conversions s

the author asks one interesting question and then glides right by it. If the agents only need their own code, what should that code look like? If all their learning has come from old human code, how will that change in the future as the ec

crux: "the internet feels bad". But, most of the internet is still there, so how could that be. I think more specifically, the current mode of attention capture feels bad - what the majority of people are interacting with feels

AI for decades has been the word to mean "frontier capability which is not fully developed yet". It is not a pitch for end users. Perhaps your product produces quality code. Perhaps it produces highly novel trip itineries. Sa

Computers / the web are a fast route to information, but they are also a storehouse of information; a ledger. This is the old "information wants to be free, and also very expensive." I don't want all the info on my PC,

personal take: store dates as bigints. rendering them is just a user interface issue. no need for Date parsing except to play nicely with legacy codebases. Milliseconds are your friend

I sketched out an app like this but with the added feature that you have a slider to indicate your commitment level. The event poster can set a collective-commitment-threshold which triggers once sufficient commitment is reached. Currently

Workspaces allow you to give Chrome permission for read / write access to given folders. You just set it once per project and then Chrome remembers. Basically, you can press "ctrl S" for save, straight from the dev console.

yep I think it's nuts. I have a plugin in the WP directory, and when I first uploaded it kind of blew my mind the service they provide for free. An SVN repo that gives you instant visibility to tens of millions of site owners. Imho
