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 virology tools but I would imagine it's a very text-friendly environment, and it can probably find plenty of documentation on how to use the tools. I recently had Claude write my entire particle system for a virtual world I'm working on, in 3d. It did fine without ever "seeing" anything. There's still a lot of intervening steps between a virus being synthesized in real life and programming one, but I would bet the programming part is within reach.

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 prevent gaming it. And AI will not always be "fair". But since it is a computer, it should be equally unfair to all.

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 dominated our natural, economically inefficient, home-dwelling instincts. I think this article means well, but it is written from the perspective of a landlord basically.

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. (afaik. didn't read about Rocket yet)

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 seems overkill. But I do see that there is tons of stuff about Date that is best ignored

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 ecosystem fills up with agent code?

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 bad. But those are not "the internet".

A resurgence of people learning LAMP stack is not going to address the Big Problem. I think we should be asking why algo-driven social media roflstomps the indie web, not how to get more web hosters into the indie web.

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. Say that, but don't say AI. The end user does not know the difference between a neural net and a for loop.

because it affects other people; it's not just shame for shame's sake, it's learning what effect we have on the people around us and how to navigate that. Guy who has lived with a lot of people here.

federally subsidized solo mountain hiking for the un-initiated. I will pay the tax

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, or the bank database, to be 'alive', I want it to be frozen in kryptonite, so it's right where I left it when I come back.

I think we're slowly allowing AI access to the interface layer, but not to the information layer, and hopefully we'll figure out how to keep it that way.

I like the pushback because it means less competition in the native framework space

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 think there's a difference between software and scripts too. Unrepentant scripter4lyfe here

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 working on another web app though...

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. In FF, you have to manually designate the save location each time. It may seem like a small thing, but it's an entirely different workflow.

For frameworks that don't use plain stylesheets, it may not be useful.

this is blatant end-userism

sometimes people who operate within rules-based systems mistakenly project those same rules outside of the same systems which they are operating within

firefox doesnt have Workspaces. I do 100% of my CSS in Chrome Workspaces

there's an implicit 2nd component to what you're asking for.. what you need are prompts which are both hard to solve and also have a high expectation that they "should" be able to solve.

otherwise, sure there are millions of problems that LLM's are still bad at

Tolkien was simply articulating the fact that the distance between non-existence and existence is far greater than the distance between existence and technologically-enhanced-existence can ever be.

fwiw I read hacker news through RSS only, top 10 items every day using https://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/

Something similar would be great

To make people / us care, we need to be subject to frequent community gossip. But the suburbs were built in part to escape that, hence why we create these omni-directional online communities, distressed at everything but responsible for nothing.

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 Matt has set expectations too high over the decades and now everyone thinks Wordpress grows on trees.

I've read some of it and it's actually compelling reading but it bogs down pretty quick in spin, for example wpe claims they invested hundreds of millions "to serve the community". But the community they are referencing is their own customers. They did not invest millions in core maintenance to my knowledge.

I'm more interested in the colloquial understanding than the legalese. The dev community will probably have a more relevant opinion than the judge imho. As I see it, WP core is free and the "public utility" you mention. But the infrastructure running the plugins has very little precedent it seems, and that's the important part. That's what Matt's pissed about. I don't think there is a good analogy in the Linux ecosystem or anywhere else as to such a massive undertaking as WP that is simultaneously non profit and for profit. And that's where I think it's kind of foolhardy to go head to head with the guy who's managed to staple it all together while they're still standing on it.

The thing he withdrew is their plugin repo access which is not a public service afaik. I can see why Matt is going crazy running servers for hundreds of millions of downloads and people treat it like he's legally obligated to do that. It's an ambitious enterprise and people should be sensitive to the fact that they probably work extremely hard keeping that going.

20 years at the helm and one major conflict over a half billion dollar business doesnt strike me as particularly weak. Personally I would be much happier if he just keeps on keepin on. The BDFL model has a strong precedent for jerk-ness a la Linus Torvalds

Isn't he within legal rights in fact to take away certain public services whenever he does want? Assuming that's the case (and that is an assumption), the fact that WPEngine went all in on a half billion dollar business model dependent on Matt is a big risk they took; I would think it would be absolutely top priority on their part to understand the nuts and bolts of the ecosystem they depend on.

GPT tells me (take it or leave it) that books published before 1963 only had a copyright of 28 years generally, and it wasn't until 1978 that the "author life + 70 years" started

this is a ridiculous graph which mistakes temporary behaviors for entire human beings. I worked about 10 years doing handyman work, and now 10 years doing web development, often both in the same day.
