Hoe korter de time window van de chart, hoe hoger het niveau.

Either the cd drive or the large floppy disk drive, one of those always had to be a different kind of grey.

Ben je op de hoogte van de recente controverse omtrent hun terms of usage aanpassingen?

Gotta say I was rather skeptical at first, but when my trial ended earlier this week I really noticed the hard way how quickly its mechanisms got into my subconscious working flow.

Wow, nice. Nog iets voor in de categorie: dingen waarvan ik niet wist dat ik ze nodig had voor hobby’s waarvan ik niet wist dat ik ze had.

This is hilarious and useful at the same time!

Ja, het was zoals een Engelstalige text-to-speech Nederlands spreekt, vrij onverstaanbaar. Het probeerde er eerst vanaf te raken door enkel “Hallo” te zeggen maar dan vroeg ik iets specifiek en kreeg ik volzinnen. Ikzelf prompte In het Engels.

Inderdaad knap! Aan het Nederlands is nog wat werk, maar dat hoeft niet te verbazen.
Na afsluiten van het gesprek en vaarwel zeggen ging de chatbot niet zelf ophangen, dat was beetje awkward, maar het soort awkwardness dat ook IRL gebeurt, dus misschien was het intentional 😂

Ah, pardon my ignorance, then!
My memories of using CSS in the early 2010s are mostly about browsing caniuse and the like before using any recent features in a project. My point is that CSS is rolling out updates far more smoothly today. Although not that feature in particular, I stand corrected.

Yes there’s Threads, but with Zuckerberg kissing Trump’s ass as well, what is left of the reasons for choosing it over X?
And Mastodon is leaving out the audience who don’t care what server they are on, which is unsurprisingly a very broad majority.
Bluesky is where the potential lies.

It’s the main reason why I am seeing myself posting a lot more here lately than I ever did on twitter. Content adds to the success of an X alternative. Call it cheap activism. And fun :)

Plus, believe it or not, CSS is still going places, with new features being added continuously. Limiting yourself to classname drilling means missing out on cool new developments like nesting at-rules (@layer, @container), view-transitions, and upcoming if() functions.

Sure, tree-shaking stylesheets for increasing performance is nice, but it comes at a huge cost of code maintainability.
Want to tweak a certain style? Good luck with find-and-replacing `p-4 text-gray-700` in your cluttered codebase. Alternatively, go explore your 2000-line tailwind.config.js file.

I like this! Both the design and the message it carries.
To me, the "I bought this before Elon went crazy" stickers too much tend to be about caring about what other drivers think.
Your version much more puts out a statement, less of begging "please, don't think I'm a bad person".

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

So true. MVP's are not about getting a small feature set to work on a dev environment. They require putting effort in stuff that is equally tedious for releasing a single feature vs a mid-sized product (up until a certain scale). Takes experience to get priorities straight like you're doing 👍🚀

Really good interview. Quality content!

Funny though to see that Inter is the default font. It’s becoming a caricature at this point in SaaS.

It’s easy to define intelligence in a way that LLM’s fall under it, though. Max Tegmark tries to build a framework in his book Life 3.0 and LLM’s seemingly do not fulfill his definition, but that is rather due to their lack of autonomous self-improvement, not due to their reasoning skills per se.

I'm not convinced neither that we will achieve AGI by just scaling LLM's even further. But I also think it is unfair to not call their capacities a certain form of intelligence: their level of in pattern recognition and language-based reasoning is very high and will improve further as they scale.
