It’s because you forgot a comma after the last item. If you had kept that the items wouldn’t have been compacted (at least in black, I’ve stopped linking my code because it breaks intends of formatting more often than it helps)

Code quality is really about readability and organization of code.
The thinking is, if the humans reading, writing and editing the code can’t read and comprehend it, they can’t develop it in meaningful ways.
But it is not a requisite that great software stands on top of great code
Maybe you’ve turned off WiFi Assist? It’s an option to allow mobile data to supplement WiFi.
Please do tell!
Pilot friction pens - the four color versions. I find multicolored notes great and they are erasable.
Muji spine notebooks - hit the perfect balance between cheap and nice to write on. For me, a moleskin becomes “too nice to waste on this meeting” - the spine version lays flat and it is easy to rip out a paper if someone needs a sheet or you are really unhappy to keep some scribbles around.
It scores bonus point for cardboard cover making it easy to write on the outside
Added bonus points for no spills, blobs or airplane worries.
Cut moves text from the application into a separate application, the clipboard.
So just like if I edit in application A, change to application B and hit undo, I do not expect undo to affect A, I also do not expect undo to affect the pasteboard.
The Ghost Cut works a bit closer to how Excel works, which constantly trips me up. In Excel, I might copy a cell, do some edits, then paste, only to learn that nothing was actually copied. In Excel, copy and cut makes a reference to a selection, and if that selection has been undone or changed at the time of paste, there simply isn't anything to paste.
I don't think it is fair to call a GPT model "fairly basic statistical text generation" - a Markov Text Generator I'd agree can be called basic statistics, but they are not fooling any humans in a Turing test.
> It would've been nice to reserve "AI" for superior human-like intelligence capable of genuine common sense and reasoning.
No, AI would absolutely be apt for describing a computing reasoning like a child
Remember that all signs point towards more CO2 fees and higher gas prices in the coming years
The only note taking app I’ve found to be fun to browse is Google Keep. I love the layout, I love how things are “out of place”
On a side note, I’ve found Muji notebooks to hit that sweet spot where the paper is nice enough to write down something you want to keep and refer back to, and cheap enough that you can waste pages writing down spur of the moment thoughts and things.
On one hand I expect access to the worlds music, but on the other hand I also expect not to be drowned in 8bit covers and AI music.
They are - to me at least - also an arbiter of music, similarly to how record stores used to be.
Thanks to both authors for sharing the work!
My surprises:
- it’s just 5 judges, who makes the shortlist
- it’s the _same_ 5 judges judging the short list
- there are generally no criteria
- Pulitzer Prizes favors American settings.
- edit: bonus surprise I expected judges to be mostly critics and professors of literature
While I’m not surprised it’s just a few people judging the short list I would have expected more eyes on making the shortlist (editors and publishers make a short list and critics and authors judging it)
I definitely expected different prizes to value things differently. Like a Novel prize winner I would expect to be heavy, with layers and quite frankly a bit intimidating to casual readers, like myself.
I would not expect a criteria to favor a setting. Maybe an authors background (again, I would expect Nobel to favor poor authors who somehow made)
1) companies had a desire to grow everyone's networks. Early numbers said, people more connected have more engagement, and the larger a user's graph is, the better we can advertise to that user.
But at some point it also changes what you want to post, or if you want to post at all. Do I want my mom to see this joke? That party photo? What about that guy I met on exchange 10 years ago?
I have 1000 connections on Facebook, and all _their_ connections can be exposed to my post. It might as well be public.
2) Professionals are better at posting than amateurs. It turns out that we rather watch a funny update from a comedian we don't know, than an update from a friend trying to be funny. Social networks are not social anymore. They are mostly TV, but instead of channel surfing, you are doom-scrolling videos from professional creators, not updates from friends.
They recreated one and had one of the stop motion guys from Jurassic park and another animator come visit and test it.
Their conclusion was that animating in blender with your mouse is still better, even though it was enjoyable to use the animatronic controller.
Their concept for the video was “look at this better way to animate that time forgot” and ended up concluding that “actually it isn’t better”
Wasn't there some articles a few years ago about communities that filled wheelbarrows with phones connected to Waze and moved them slowly down the road, stop waze from routing cars through residential areas?
But then again, I never thought WiFi would take over wired network cables, but now even my desktop is connected with WiFi.
I also didn’t think cellular would be a replacement for copper or fiber, but now my modem for the apartment is 5G.
Both ended up being good enough, easier and cheaper (!)
It's mostly about why some people enjoy working with AI ("I get to build things I can use, that I couldn't build otherwise!)" and others don't ("This code is all slop and nobody understands it, and it makes me sad")
It touches a little bit about those two perspectives in general, which he calls centaurs (in charge of the work) and reverse centaurs (the work is in charge of them)
And I think there is a place for perl, just like there is a place for bash one-liners.
The authors example is personal software. The things we write to scratch our own little itches, that do not need to be shared or developed together with other people.
Most companies would just shut it down and keep the IP.
I do wish it gave a few examples of the use of SnakeCoil and a bit more on the daughters reception of the ROM hack
Something technical made it easier to implement.
