Another way to think of this is you just ship the UI DSL, and the user can get the app to customize it themselves with built-in guardrails. Everything should be LCARS at this point.

Yeah, I think there's a tendency to underestimate how much demand is still gated behind cost constraints. The market for this is HUGE. The PC era, call it 1975-2005, was one of the greatest wealth creation events in history, was charac

I wonder how that stacks up if you consider all the time you have to keep the body alive when it’s not actively producing “tokens”.

Sure seems like OAI is using their compute/capital advantage to dump. Seems improbable they're making a profit at those levels.

Looking forward to their first album dropping.

This is a great article, but I think it’s hard to ignore that Japan’s culture of harmony is a big part of why they were able to choose sensible regulations that benefitted everyone. We struggle to pass even the most sensible land use reform

Yeah. I think most orgs have no idea what they are missing.

I gave a lot of shit about my employees the first time I was a manager. It burned me out, but it made for an amazing team.

I don’t mean specific features, I mean specific verticals. I.e. one app that nails a specific type of business and replaces a dozen disconnected tools.

100%. Saas isn’t going away, but the economics are changing drastically and that’s bad for one-size-fits-all tools, and excellent for niche solutions. But it’s still saas, just more specific.

Even if you power a typical EV from 100% coal, it pencils out as about equivalent to a late model Prius. And any improvements in the energy mix take it further.

Ironically, Russia probing defenses in Europe is functioning like Chaos Monkey — revealing vulnerabilities and triggering hardening.

BeOS was so amazing; I ran it for a while on x86 hardware. Ahead of its time. But I always loved NeXT. (I'd go down to the local university computer store to drool over them. The staff all knew me by name.) And now, I carry one around

I really would love to move to helix but they can be… stubborn about what gets into the core. And if you start having to go to a plugin (which isn’t even possible last I looked) to get table stakes features in, it kind of defeats the purpos

You should extend it into the past. Hapenny hit hard.

Have you ever tried to get an average human to do that? It’s a mixed bag. Computers til now were highly repeatable relative to humans, once programmed, but hopeless at “fuzzy” or associative tasks. Now they have a new trick, that lets them

Yes this is strikingly similar to humans, too. “Not” is kind of an abstract concept. Anyone who has ever trained a dog will understand.

Ah, I heard about it, but the timing never worked out to try it. Good to have some confirmation!

YMMV I guess, but I found the best coffee at kissatens, and I hate dark roasts. Lots of great, sometimes super tiny, third-wave pourover types, too. But I guess Japanese coffee culture is more about evening consumption since there were many

I 100% get this, but I will say that the gamification has meant I've stuck with it for a while. I don't know if it's out there, but I'd love something with better teaching methods, but just enough gamification to keep me

I was leaving a company recently and the fresh grads, with whom I had a good relationship, asked if I had any advice. I said, “Always remember that the company is not your friend. I don’t mean your boss or your coworkers, they might well be

Trump doesn't understand soft power, nor how much he has destroyed in such a short span. I have hope that a some future point we can repair these relationships, but they will never be like they were. So stupid. Such a waste.

Oh, I'm not directly associated with it, and I don't use it mostly because that specific feature is missing. And they're in rust, so I'm not sure how well c bindings work. Still, really cool project.

This feels like it would be interesting in the Helix editor. They don't have a good solution for traditional regexp search-and-replace, but this would fill that niche in a more elegant way.

My observation in my years running a dev shop was that there are two classes of applications that could get built. One was the high-end, full-bore model requiring a team of engineers and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get to a basic M
