All the comments, all the time. This was a fun (funky?) little project that I enjoyed building and am enjoying on my desk as well. Source for the display and backend are both on github if you're so inclined:
This is an interesting left hand vs right hand thing. Apple is making it more difficult for find a particular app while coding assistance is making it easier to build one. At some point those curves intersect and the App Store becomes irrelevant.
That’s not uncommon, but having grown up in a house heated by wood fires I knew that when building our current house. The main fireplace is on a central wall and has enormous thermal mass. Beauty and utility can be combined.
My grandparents' house was this way - the chimney was in the center of the house (built sometime in the late 1800s and rebuilt in the 1950s).
The fireplace had a stone chimney - and the kitchen was built in an 'L' shape around the first floor of the fireplace. The (master) bedroom (an additional bedroom was built in the 1950s), the stone of the chimney was a good quarter of one of the walls.
I do, however, think that the rough hewn stone and mortar of the chimney with the insets around it had a certain rustic beauty... aside from the "that got warm" in the winter and could keep the kitchen, living room, and bedroom warm.
A while back I worked on a project where s3 held giant zip files containing zip files (turtles all the way down) and also made good use of range requests. I came up with seekable-s3-stream[1] to generalize working with them via an idiomatic C# stream.
This lack of ASIC is interesting to me. If it existed, that would very much change the game. And, given the simplicity of WG encryption it would be a comparatively small design (lower cost?)
Let’s game that out. What happens during the transition? Oh, inconveniently ugly things that Musk won’t say out loud. Oh, and the timeline makes that transition interminably long.
There are 11 kinds of people that understand binary. Those that understand binary, those that don't understand binary, and those that understand grey code.
I stopped deploying to a single region for production years ago, so I don’t really have a horse in this region comparison race. That said, I’ve seen network level issues in every region I use — nothing like the big outage, but issues that may disrupt a service. Designing for how the world is rather than how I wish it was makes a lot of sense to me.
Those two things aren't even comparable. Both of those are using technology to physically imprint letters onto the page, but in both cases those are still your own ideas in your own words.
But not the appearance. It’s not the same, but it rhymes.
Edit: to clarify, people were judged by the clarity of their handwriting in the past and these tools made that impossible. Similarly, LLMs spackle over higher level language issues.
Dictation has existed for millennia; alternatively, hiring someone to neatly write out your letters after making a messy draft has also existed for a very long time. My mom paid half her way through college in the 60s by typing people's papers for them who didn't know how to type properly.
Isn’t that exactly the same? People hiring someone (or using something) to make themselves better understood, more professional looking, or falsely authoritative?
It's more like hiring a ghostwriter, something which also has been around for a long time, and people who use ghostwriters are rightly criticized for putting their name on someone else's work
Example: Donald Trump did not write Art of the Deal
Because LLM-created content is not an expression of your own human creativity or intellect.
It's not like typewriters -- in a written work the content is the entire point, not the handwriting. So unlike previous tools, this one is replacing you for the part that actually matters.
People use these tools for a variety of reasons (as diverse as people’s experiences). One can use an LLM to help express a perspective or develop and opinion (very important for those who struggle to communicate), or one can fake a picture or voice for fraud, or a million other purposes. It’s just a tool. How it gets used is about the people, not the tool.
