I feel called out as one of them. I definitely overextend in terms of internet references if I'm anxious to try to catch something the other person is interested in. Among many "online" people, memes are basically a form of i

Trying to get off the internet for me feels like a messy divorce. It's difficult because it was essentially my world growing up, shaped my value system and defined the type of things I should strive towards. Being involved in game dev,

I remember when GPT-4 came out and the perceived performance upgrade seemed underwhelming for a major release compared to 3.5, especially how there were graphics going around showing the parameter size dwarfing the last model before it came

Minor nitpick, but the handling in the Kart Racer game is terrible. It feels more like nudging than turning.

Very cool! I'm trying to understand the graph, so the bottom-most section seems to be the cluster identifying Claude written PRs. What are the other 7, any reason there are 8 in total? I've been scraping instagram posts recently t

I've been thinking more about how 99.9% of us don't have the experience of someone significantly more intelligent, yet also subservient working under us, which is why I keep going crazy second guessing whether Claude is spouting R

Hate to comment more on the drama, but it's only after watching Andrew Kelley's talk at Software Should Work [1] that I realized how philosophically different he is from Jarred and the broader SF AI/VC sphere. Here he is in a

It is funny, I like reading about standards and certifications! I'm definitely more on the anxious side which leads to information hoarding tendencies and trying to think as much as I can before I act. I would love to get pulled a bit

Great advice, thanks! > Usually homeworks get very easy which is a good sign I agree, but having homeworks in itself is a big advantage! It means you're in a structured learning environment where someone has taken the care to create

I've realized that most of my tendencies to set up elaborate note-taking systems and frameworks have been an attempt to address my anxiety around learning and productivity. I'm constantly in the mode of "learning defensively&

What can be more earthy than a forest? Jokes aside it does look like the effort there is a step above pages like this one or other examples linked in thread.

Wow, no wonder Copilot looked so out of place within the Windows UI. It's not the only core app that blatantly goes against Windows' design language either- Movie Maker and later the built-in video editor in Photos both died for C

It's a trend that signals a form of non-chronically-online intellectualism. Feels reminiscent of intellectual slop [1] content on the web that is in vogue https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dEYvdnwB4MM

Not surprising considering out of all the things MS is known for, UX consistency is certainly not one of them. They have probably the weakest commitment to a design language across all the big tech cos.

I've been noticing the uptick of beige + serif fonts + art with rough textures in this space. It feels like an attempt to humanize the technology and make it more palatable to people. Anthropic is the biggest example of this language w

Next, set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable: export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Note: This command sets the key only for your current terminal session. To make it permanent, add the export line to your she

I was going to ask about how pure types would fill the gap for other validations in Zod like number min/max ranges, but seeing the tags feature use intersection types for that is really neat. I tried assigning a `string & tags.MinL

I used this standard a long time ago to make a simple server -> client reactive state for a card game by combining it with Vue's reactive objects to get something like a poor man's CRDTs. This is a rough diagram of what it look
