  • "tools" doesn't mean "good"

    good tools are designed well enough so it's clear how they are used, held, or what-fucking-ever.

    fuck these simpleton takes are a pain in the arse. They're always pushed by these idiots that have based their whole world view on fortune cookie aphorisms

  • if you MUST make mistakes make sure it’s the kind where you cake still tastes good

    every flat, sad looking chocolate cake I've made

  • I read the white paper for this data centers in orbit shit https://archive.ph/BS2Xy and the only mentions of maintenance seem to be "we're gonna make 'em more reliable" and "they should be easy to replace because we gonna make 'em modular"

    This isn't a white paper, it's scribbles on a napkin

  • we're all gonna be in that soylent green scene with the steak, but it's software that is untainted by ai, is on our hard drive, and we don't have to pay monthly to use

  • great! I'll show you something soon hopefully and see what you think

  • I ask you this hoping it isn't insulting, but how are you with os kernel level stuff?

  • I'm actually still working on a project kinda related to this, but am currently in a serious "is this embarrassingly stupid?" stage because I'm designing something without enough technical knowledge to know what is possible but trying to keep focused on the purpose and desired outcome.

  • Official word from Scrivener here https://xcancel.com/ScrivenerApp/status/1830556231431254328

    our position on this is that we do not include any AI tools in our apps and allow users their own choice of where to back up work, allowing them to choose services that don't allow AI access. Thanks :)

  • I spent a good chunk of my 20s obsessed with building a co-writing web platform I called PlotPlant. I really want to riff off what you did here, but I'm scared it will reignite my interest in the project and I'll just add to the pile of unfinished work

  • also "quinn entered the dark and cold forest" is fine. sentences aren't boring, stories are.

  • and you have to grow a moustache for the month, if it catches on we'll say it's for men's health charities or something

  • fyi they updated their blog post with this catch-all disclaimer in the last couple of hours

    "it is simply too big to categorically endorse or not endorse"

    "so we're gonna play it safe and endorse it"

  • I have a mental image of the person who designed a logo like that but I won't describe that person because this is the internet and I know better

  • I hope so. I know the founder designed it and then learned how to code to build it himself. Hopefully he's still running the show and he's a good one
