Impressed that they actually hired Jim Woodring to help with the original.

My fault: last weekend I told my wife during a discussion of climate change "hey, at least we don't have to worry that the rains won't come and the crops will fail."

I'm working on Tidepools, a daily journaling / task management app (local-first, Mac/iOS/web) with a proactive AI coach. Mostly what the coach does is ask you questions. It can als…

Anyone who believes AI running on silicon could in principle be conscious has to believe that biological computers are conscious, right? Why aren't those people voicing more concer…

Zelazny can’t really be beat when it comes to style and wit in SF/fantasy. Pick up Lord of Light or Nine Princes in Amber (or Jack of Shadows, or The Doors of His Face, the Lamps o…

Serious question - I thought LLMs were bad at balancing parentheses?

Interesting, I'll give voting a shot, thanks.

What do you use for evaluation? gemini-2.5-pro is at the top of MMLU and has been best for me but always looking for better.

This is funny to me because when someone asked re: Better Auth "better than what?" my off-the-cuff response was "better than Auth.js" and here we are.

I almost never see these. Maybe issue is your network?
