This isn't clear to me, either, and it also seems from the docs like images, videos, and formulas are the only embeddable content types. However, elsewhere they say "Quill exposes its own do…

Kudos on the docs: I encourage all open source projects to have a "Why Quill"[1] type page so I can quickly understand the philosophy of the project and how it aligns with my goals. Even bet…

It’s complicated. There are some amazing people at Google genuinely and passionately working to make the web better and more open. I personally could not work there, but I don’t question the ethics of…

Science and research are funded in phases. So greater awareness and understanding of a particular problem can often fund the research towards finding solutions. I hear your frustration that there aren…

Were university students ever genuinely an elite group? I’d be interested to know if there’s any data to suggest historical university students were somehow more extraordinary.

Yes we looked at panels for our home but I believe community (off site) solar is the way to go. You essentially buy panels as part of a large farm and the energy they produce is subtracted from your u…

This is the genius or fallacy of Tesla's marketing, depending on how you look at it. There IS a standard from the SAE for describing autonomous driving that everyone else uses. By that standard, …

Agreed, but perhaps more semantic meaning could be expressed in metadata for tables and columns, extending beyond what's typically found in information_schema. (This may be the semantic layer you…

While this is good news for the retro gaming community, I'm really struck by how deep the collective Stockholm syndrome is that this is exciting.

Yeah I agree with it being an exaggeration. They are certainly riding the admittedly dated perception that realtime is so hard it's only available to the Googles and Figmas. But there's now …

I think it's a classic example of landing in that space of being a feature vs a product. I know from my part, I'm really fatigued on the SaaS model of spinning up so many different products …

They said in the article they’d prompted it to avoid nudity. I tend to believe that because it makes sense for a promotional website connected to a state agency.

Well… the generated image has this seductive vibe to it as if she’s trying to start an onlyfans account. This isn’t a National Geographic image. Even set that aside and it’s still an example of an out…

People may like the Tesla ownership experience, but it makes a bad rental experience because everything about the car is so different. How do you unlock it? Turn it on? Put it in reverse? Use the turn…

Yes but the issue is we almost always encounter & have to remove lots of natural underground methane to get to the oil below it. If the oil drills lose incentive to sell the methane off, they just…

I really wonder about unintended consequences. It's exciting to be able to store solar as methane because we can "plug" this new synthetic methane easily into existing infrastructure. (…

I’m always fascinated to read the system prompts & I always wonder what sort of gains can be made optimizing them further. Once I’m back on desktop I want to look at the gut history of this file.…

This outcome of course needs the volume of writing / illustration to stay constant. Instead AI has just flooded the market with more content in a way that’s net additive. PLUS we’ll need to consi…

Just a bit of feedback. I think you’re closing in on a differentiated offering from low-code, but I read the site & docs intro and I still can’t tell what you provide over Next on Vercel with an a…

I’ve always wondered how this product was doing & if there was any traction. I’ve yet to meet a (non-meta) org using it.

Oh that’s very smart & as a bonus, the free plan does exactly that (only 30-day history)

People are building and releasing models. There's active research in the space. I think that's great! The attitude I've seen in open models is "use this if it works for you" v…

I'm most interested in the virtual screens (no more large monitors) and the opportunity for AI assisted instructions / guidance as I do tasks like home repair.

I don't quite understand. Are they saying that eccentric walking (lunges) can take the place of the suggested strength training?

Yeah I know stars are a fairly worthless vanity metric, but it's the best quick proxy that I know of for community size on this sort of project. I usually check stars and skim open issues. Someti…

I love the straightforward simplicity. Curious if you can explain the name. (DryMerge may be a concept I'm unfamiliar with.)
