Creating & animating sample scenes really helps uncover which parts of the interface are frustrasting/unusable, which parts are buggy/broken, and which parts are working well.

Definitely the most complex UI I've ever attempted (and I also admit that UI is not my strong suit).
I’m not American and don’t have any plans to live there either, so it’s not really relevant.
Looks like “respect dot me” is an XXX domain registry site, I probably typed it briefly when editing the post on my phone and it pulled in the link 😁
…of migrant workers with no hukou working for absolute peanuts.

Worth mentioning that I have no plans to go back to Adelaide either, so I know exactly what you mean in that respect.
I have..absolutely no idea!

That’s bizarre.
I’m guessing Chongqing? Development in China is impressive but having lived there for 5 years, I’d move back to Adelaide before I’d go back to China. The density and sheer volume of people are really hard to bear. It’s also difficult to ignore that first tier cities are built off the backs..
I’m torn. On the one hand, self-driving cars are an incredible technological achievement that I can truly appreciate.

On the other hand, I’m deeply disheartened that most countries still cannot envision a society that’s not designed wholly around cars.
Resisting the urge vibe code my own accounting platform.

I actually have no objection to the one I use (Xero) except the fact that they are jacking up the price every 6 months. I don’t like feeling like I’m being held hostage due to my tech choices.

Stick it out! I know what you mean but I think there’s increasingly good content here.
Yes, it's definitely just continuing a trend that started long ago.

Originally the hope was that the internet would displace "radio as gatekeeper" or "record label as rent seeker". That doesn't seem to have happened.
I’m not in the music industry, but a lot of the musicians, producers and DJs I respect have been saying the same thing for years now.

I don’t really know how to fix it. But I can at least encourage people to actually *buy* music rather than streaming on Spotify.
I decided to dig around ARC-AGI for a bit, and I see that ARC-AGI 3 is now available in preview!
I tried to move my main friends group from WhatsApp to Signal. They lasted a week before they reverted, purely due to the UI.
I logged into Mastodon today. I love the idea, but oof that UI is rough!

I think we have to admit that unfortunately, good UI is (a) hard, (b) really really really important.

(Signal - please take note).
Promoting tourism is something that the Singaporean government does amazingly well.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s a very interesting place to visit, but they manage to convince thousands of people from all across the world otherwise.

Respect where it’s due!
Still looking for the “less US politics” button on my Bluesky feed.
Isn’t this an artifact of positional sinusoidal embeddings though? I feel like like you’d find similar “addition” relations for non-numeric tokens where the result is semantically nonsense (something like king - man + woman = tractor). I skimmed the paper quickly and couldn’t see any mention.

I only just discovered that “Party All The Time” is actually by Eddie Murphy! I’d only ever heard it in DJ sets and would never have picked it as his voice.

AGI was actually achieved by South Korea, but then they lost it in a datacenter fire with no backups.
I'd call it Ouroboros (ourobros)?
Not sure if "entreprise" is a typo on the pleias landing page or it's intentionally using French spelling (?)
