Good example of the particle-wave aspect of LLMs: These tools can allow you to do amazing things very quickly, but they are often the wrong things. Something is still missing.

see, this is technically feasible and it can be done
The particle-wave aspect of LLMs:
1. You can be critical of how it's current being executed
2. You're interested in how the tech can be useful
Regulators and the tech press are sleeping on the web's power to unlock mobile computing the way it pried open the desktop. What started as a problem is now a crisis for the legitimacy of both institutions:

ATProto still has a "consumer" problem. I know people are working on this with so much energy. I'm just saying that it won't be enough to get only the technorati on AT, we have to come up with a dead simple reason for normies. I hope it's coming too
Such amazing new Ariel! So excited for you!
Just got back. HUGE crowd! So exciting to see everyone there, marchine, chanting, and generally being awesome.
My wife and I are heading out to a #NoKings march in SF! This is shaping up to be the biggest demonstration in US history!
a thousand times this! I work very hard to get my slides right and just as importantly, hit my time mark.

I'm in Big Sur, CA and staying at a small upscale motel, In the parking lot is a Black CyberTruck with the plates "DrkMAGA".
Of *course* I'll do nothing but I really don't want to run into the owner. I expect he (of course it's a he) is some 30ish techbro.
Any suggestions to help me through this?
I started noticing that after I had >100 old connections in the history, connecting to a new wifi started lagging quite a bit. Now that I've cleaned it up, it's quite snappy again
I am fascinated by local-first AI products. I'm starting to play with meetily.ai as everything stays local, nothing is uploaded to a server.
Has anyone played with this? Any comments pro/con?
My Mac had >100 old Wifi connections and the Mac REQUIRES you delete them 1 at a time. I created a shell script to automate the process. I thought others might be interested.

I loved that show, the first half season was amazing. Then the first writer had creative differences with the lead and it got... Weird

When we found out the OG Mac was using the Motorola 68000 at 8Mhz, we lost our minds. It was a HUGE step up from the Intel 8088
Hello! Hope you're doing well
Screenshot of my new minimal android home screen
Just updated to the latest Android drop for my pixel 10 and I love this new minimal icon theme. It significantly reduces the intensity of the display.
My theory is that it will discourage me from using it a bit less. I'll monitor the stats and see.
