I made a little something! If you're working with the terminal & ANSI escape sequences in TypeScript, check it out!

It's an (almost) complete port of the `x/ansi` Go package.

Repository: github.com/nightgrey/ansi
API reference: nightgrey.github.io/ansi/
NPM: npmjs.com/package/@nightgrey/ansi
GitHub - nightgrey/ansi: A TypeScript library providing utilities for working with ANSI escape sequences.

what are your most favorite, useful, fancy, or downright useless but very cool terminal tools?

one of my fav. kinds are ones that improve existing tools (UX, DX, faster, make your life easier etc).

most recently?

mise -> manages tools/envs/more
micro -> Alternative for nano

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

I think this is really cool:

Olmo is a model series that is actually open source - training data & all. That means proper licensing, too!

Does that mean "we have to ignore rights and ethics to train models" is untrue and done out of convenience?! Shocking, I tell you!
Announcing Olmo 3, a leading fully open LM suite built for reasoning, chat, & tool use, and an open model flow—not just the final weights, but the entire training journey.
Best fully open 32B reasoning model & best 32B base model. 🧵

So many people are convinced phones (f.e. social media apps) track you so well by stealthily recording your microphone, camera and screen.

The funny thing is - it's actually much worse:

They don't.

TIL about 8bitdash.com, a dedicated 8-bit browser startpage with a clock, lots of different 8-bit images and settings.

... apparently, browser startpage websites are a thing! Do you know about any other?

first web 3.0, now woke 3.0 - preposterous!

I heard woke 3.0 had a dark mode, but where's the documentation? a changelog? or a release page? and does nobody care about semantic versioning anymore?

smh

this is the correct take on pronouns — this should be the official policy position of Woke 3.0
hot take: I think we should go back to assuming peoples pronouns. if we get it wrong, we should be corrected, say "thank you for correcting me", and not get it wrong again.

I always associate the (german) animated shorts of a cat named Muffin - who has a strong norwegian accent & calls their owner "long cat" - with @nanami.codes's cats.

In this one (translation below), Muffin is wondering why his owner show him to smell a small pillow. 🥹

Hey @repligate.bsky.social, do you remember me once telling you (on X) that I've been, for years(?) now, posting your chats to a channel of friends that aren't in touch with ML at all?

ONE OF THEM JUST POSTED ONE THEMSELVES!!!

You can see how shocked I was. So proud 🥹

Does any one (preferably moots) want a key for "V Rising" on Steam?

I played around a bit with RGB colors. I turned off most of them to accentuate a few and...

... does anyone else see this and think "Cyberpunk"?
