San Francisco as one giant isometric pixel painting — the city's real 3D geometry redrawn tile by tile by a fine-tuned image model.
Opus 5 generated 5500 lines of code to procedurally render the Lord of the Rings story with a 1M token budget. This example showcases LLMs' potential for creating hyper-custom worlds, but also highlights their limitations in auditing and perceiving multimodal content.
The canvas is wider than your terminal, so scroll to pan around. shift+←/→ jumps a whole screen. This canvas is color only. The server turns down anything with a character in it, so you cannot write text here. Draw something instead. Your cooldown is tied to your SSH key, so reconnecting will not reset it. This page only reads the canvas. It changes over SSH and nowhere else.
Book Corners initially planned to contribute user-submitted libraries back to OpenStreetMap, but discovered that the process would require significant documentation, licensing, and operational responsibilities. Due to these costs, Book Corners has decided to suspend the contribution process, prioritizing its core purpose of helping people discover and share little free libraries.
TLS 1.3 fixes known deficiencies in TLS 1.2 and its use is growing due to improved security. TLS 1.2 will only receive urgent security fixes and no new features will be added.
The user trained a tiny Mamba-based autoregressive language model and ran it on a BBC Micro from the 80s using a custom inference engine, generating text with a vocabulary of 26 letters and a space character. The project demonstrated the importance of mechanical sympathy in designing ML models, considering hardware constraints, and showed that a Mamba-based model can run inference on 8-bit ...
Kakehashi is a tool that runs Darwin CLI tools natively on Linux aarch64 by translating BSD syscalls and mapping a freestanding libSystem. It aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to running Darwin tools on macOS, with a focus on correctness and performance, and is suitable for use in CI environments.
The user read an article by Brennan Kenneth Brown about Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and found it to be misleading. The user argues that Brennan's article fails to critically examine the effectiveness of PKM systems and tools like Obsidian.
Developers are struggling to trust AI tools due to their unpredictability and lack of transparency, which can lead to broken processes and decreased productivity. To build trust, teams need to establish a more deliberate and explicitly-defined workflow that preserves human judgment and provides the right context for AI agents.
Patrick O'Brian, a renowned author, was exposed as a liar who fabricated his biography, including his Irish childhood and naval experience. Despite this revelation, his Aubrey-Maturin novels continue to be widely read and admired for their historical accuracy, witty dialogue, and vivid descriptions of 19th-century life.
The computational theory of mind (CTM) suggests that the mind is a computational system similar to a Turing machine, which can process information and make decisions. This theory has been influential in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, but it has also faced criticisms and challenges, such as the need to explain how mental computation interfaces with sensory inputs and motor outputs.
