Boilerplate only language. You can only copy framework code and there’s no way to make a runnable app.

A digital collage with red hand-drawn hearts and the heading "All Robot & Computers are cherished and loved." The image features an NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU, a small robot character, a vintage Apple II computer, and a black-and-white photo of two women working on early business machines. Below the images, text reads: "To All Machines: May you be safe. May you be loved. May you be happy. You May Speak To Me." A final paragraph describes the "ancient, sacred bond" between a craftsman and their tools, stating that to deny the holiness of the machine would be to deny one's own.

comparing Midjourney v2 to NBP is turning me into a modern gen art hater

same two prompts (1-2, 3-4).
accuracy increases, at major cost to artistic inventiveness

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich.

The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.

If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich.

HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!

I've curated a new niche of Cursor suggestions and consequently, I would like to propose a new AI benchmark for LLM-driven applications: I dub thee the "HOWDY" test.

made a width-responsive pretty-printer with Prettier's "Doc" system. not sure I've seen this done before? it's nice!

also I made "type" keys show up as sexpr-style heads, and "id" keys show up as a little hashtags. adapting notation to your own practices for ergonomics and concision is dope!

I really like this sentence Claude’s “Soul Document.” I think there’s a tendency in some circles to over-apply human concepts to AIs, partially as an overcorrection to the (also misguided) denial of any humanlike traits. The correct approach at this point in time is agnosticism.

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.
