"The meeting is the message"

Anecdotally, working on an old Vue 2 app I found Claude would almost always return "refactors" as React + Tailwind the first time, and need nudging back into using Vue 2.

One could even call that guiding... Coding

I've tried both and am currently using MathAcademy to learn new knowledge. It's very, very good at incrementally building out concepts and gradually adding complexity. I had no luc…

Fantastic resource! I actually stumbled across it organically a few months ago, and couldn't believe my luck. There's really nothing else out there as high quality that's CC0. So t…

At 6.9mb with minimal (obvious) noise that animation is a serious feat of compression... I had to check it wasn't a live shader

Haven't been on 'the apps' in a good while, but it was my belief that they all work a bit like this, no? The algorithm sizes you up, you get put in a bucket, and you are matched wi…

One of the main joys of being a contractor is that this dynamic can be turned on its head. No amount of bullshit can save you from not delivering on a task you have been explicitly…

Ha! I made this exact same mistake. I think I lasted less than a week. It's the abstraction of the file system that did it for me. Something deeply unserious about it.

Interesting article. I landed on 'game development' as a way to keep some form of artistic practice alive while I have a 9-5 because they're affordable to make (albeit time expensi…

Find his work endlessly inspiring not just in terms of how good it is, but also in the way it has proved there's an audience hungry for the experimental and conceptually quite chal…

Clicked for me when I realised HN is compromised of the few for whom web2 has served quite nicely, so it's unsurprising that talk of web3 is received about as well as a brick throu…

I mean, maybe the original tulip buyers were doing so as they got genuine satisfaction out of supporting the growers themselves (ie their primary reason for buying was patronage ra…

Witty, but ignores the artist artwork fan relationship dynamic that is at play here. To me the scene feels closer to a platform like Bandcamp than it does the more speculative worl…

I've yet to see that come up as an issue within this niche - it's mostly code based work, so a certain tolerance for forking/remixing is baked in. Unsurprisingly, highly derivative…

I have always followed a lot of generative artists on Twitter. Never have I see so many creatives I follow prospering at once, mostly thanks to the Tezos ecosystem. The buyers seem…

Quite interested what you could mean by this, could you elaborate?

I don't think it's necessarily a concentrated effort on behalf of any one entity - anecdotally it just seems to be the new buzzword marketing departments have latched onto now that…

Totally agree - just watched a bit on Youtube out of nostalgia, and was taken aback by the charm of it for sure. There's a restraint that I don't think I appreciated when I was wat…

It just means there's a physical artefact - the value becomes attached the piece of paper with the instructions on, as that can then be used to manifest "legitimate" performances/i…

>The lucky buyer went home with a certificate of authenticity and a set of instructions: the work, per Garau, must be exhibited in a private house in a roughly five-by-five-foot sp…

I don't know. This was an interesting read for me because I recently had an experience that was largely the opposite. I made a game using free time after work that ended up being f…

>The actual artwork on a piece of paper will typically be lower fidelity than a digital version of it, and paper degrades faster than CD-roms. I think the post does a nice job of c…

Their stuff is good. Here in the UK every supermarket chain now has their own vegan ranges putting out stuff almost (admittedly not quite) as good, priced very competitively. Even …

A bit of a grim point, but the timing is also right in that the majority of staff are currently WFH, removing much of the potential for any violent protest/retaliation at their off…
