Looks great, congrats! For those wondering, it's a Web Components framework in the style of Next.js. Web Components are standard HTML elements, hence HTML-first (at least that's how I interp…

This reminds me of the Chaos programming model[0], the idea is you just work on whatever is (seemingly) the most important issue you encounter, without any higher level planning. Usually at the end of…

It's not the same because with Wasm you only need to distribute a single binary to support all current and future platforms.

I guess computers will never be able to figure that one out.

The speed of the response is impressive and the accuracy is very good as well. Great work!

And also varying the latency from one system to another can alter the timing behavior of dsp code which will definitely change the sound.

So, literally, a higher state of consciousness.

When you look at red, you see red. You don't see "frequency" or "light" or any other thing we invented to describe red. When you say red I know immediately what you mean bec…

I'm not trolling. There is no concept of frequency in the color red. Frequency is an abstraction/reduction you make in your mind in order to explain it. The real phenomenon is "red"…

Subjectivity is all you have, there's no extreme version of it. And ethics is also something we define. In any case, you have to make a jump and make a metaphysical claim that you can't prov…

You can't perceive the solar system, but whatever it is you are experiencing, it exists now and you can only know about it through your senses. It doesn't necessarily follow that it existed …

It's the other way around. Frequency is an abstraction. Sound/color is the reality.

It is actionable because once you come to terms with the fact that most of your knowledge is based on (flawed) assumptions, you are a) less inclined to try to impose your views onto others (because no…

I don't remember perception starting and so far i have no indication that it ends, so it's all assumptions here because "perception end" is something i cannot know, empirically.

Ok but that's a hypothesis you make. To me it is absurd how an external object can exist independently of perception. What does it even mean that anything "exists" without senses to per…

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe”. Reality is perception. It is one set of logical possibities that allow the thinking agent to exist and to produce t…

The universe and the brain are just assumptions, you're already in the realm of imagination when you talk about them as they can't be empirically known. You only know what you experience rig…

The big deal is that 100K+ users were relying on those properties not being mangled so that they can use an extension that allowed them to customize arbitrary pieces of the UI to make it more ergonomi…

Of course, it needs to be constitutional for it to work, a complete ban of privacy. There can't be any entity that is priviledged over that because that would be terrible. Keep in mind that "…

But if you take today's societies as an example, those that do encourage being openly gay are those that have much less incidents of judgement towards gay. Societies where it's culturally fi…

Dealing with aggression using privacy doesn't seem to be solving the problem though, nor it is a solution? You shouldn't live your life hiding. We need privacy because of X, underlies the as…

Privacy though is perpetuating that priviledged class because they can do their shady business in secret. If everything was transparent, that would be harder to achieve. Also the "every human soc…

I've always wondered behind the rationale on privacy being a human right. What if it wasn't? What if instead we were enforcing transparency? Force everything to be public, starting from the …

Sometimes a story is just something happens and nice pictures. Not every story needs to be indoctrinating specific arbitrary morals that humans like to impose on others. Let a story be in itself just …

It's a lesson that stuff happen, then other stuff follow, wait for those. Turns out, it's just more stuff. And it's ok to be this way. I'd say it's a lesson in Zen.

What elevates a human story higher than ChatGPT's? Do our brains have some hidden trascendental property that LLMs can never get to? Or is it simply our own biases once we learn that this is the …
