I tried uploading our design system. Claude Design’s environment was so limited it had to reimplement it from scratch in HTML, JS and CSS. Doing that burned through more than half the token limit. Alo…

I imagine lots of games do already, but offline. Most games don’t have gameplay that requires real-time terrain generation. The idea of generating terrain procedurally is not new, but this technique t…

So what you’re saying is that parrots are stochastic parrots.

Your argument that it’s a shallow argument is itself a shallow argument. ”I hate x” is not a technical argument anyway, it’s an emotional assessment.

It might be a solved problem in the sense that it has a possible solution, but not in the sense that it doesn’t happen with the tools most people would expect to be able to handle the task.

Interesting to note how similar this seems to what happened with Benj Edwards at Ars Technica. AI was used to extract or summarize information, and quotes found in the summary were then used as source…

Microwaves are for heating, ovens are for cooking. Obviously it’s possible to live on only microwaved food but it sounds pretty miserable.

Meanwhile, iPhone is still using this design https://xkcd.com/1884/

Describing what computers do as ”thinking” is not new. It’s a useful and obvious metaphor. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/68991 …

This would make sense to me as an explanation when it only outputs code. (And I think it explains why code often ends up subtly mangled when moved in a refactoring, where a human would copy paste, the…

That’s an interesting approach, but what do you learn from it that is applicable to the next task? Do you find that this eventually boils down to heuristics that generalize to any task? It sounds like…

I wonder why they fail this specific way. If you just let them do stuff everything quickly turns spaghetti. They seem to overlook obvious opportunities to simplify things or see a pattern and follow t…

I also expected hardware to be involved. But in the context of a list of tutorials on how to use this live coding tool the title makes sense though.

It’s the new ”I looked it up on wiki”.

And at the same time, the fastest growing consumer product of all time is called ”ChatGPT”.

As a European, my impression is that things named something something ”Euro” tend to be cheap and low quality. I don’t think it’s possible to build a positive consumer brand around ”Eurosky”. I suppor…
