Reading that article was a wild ride because internally I was like 'haha, stupid AI can't even find the light blue colored sea horse emoji' but then the author casually revealed that there is no seahorse emoji.

As it is with cash.

In a few years as image generation consistency improves, any video game artist can go from just creating characters for some other game dev to creating full-on animated sprites directly. Instead of having to depend on someone else to code their ideas, they can directly create that game. And the inverse will also be true, game devs can use AI to create generic arts for their game and work faster, create games that depends more on tech than art. Both flavors of games will bring something unique and doesn't invalidate the work of the other as useless.

The point isn't about comparing teaching and training. The point is about how humans use tool to improve and advance. It is more about comparing AI to books as an aggregate of knowledge. Just like how humans uses recorded writing in the form of books to analyze and adapt better ways of communication, humans can also use AI to be productive in fields that was previous out of their reach.

Is this using OpenAI's GPT-image or something different?

Imagine if writers complained that stuff they wrote were being used in literature classes that teaches people how to read and write because how sentences they once toiled over for hours would now be used in mundane letters.

AI can't take away an artists creativity, just like how photography didn't kill painting. Yes, it closes up certain avenues on how artists make money but it will most probably make up for that by making them more productive.

From their LTT video, it looked like they chose to do Desktop because of the AMD platform (and not the either way around, where they planned a desktop product and then chose AMD strix halo). Apparently setting up the manufacturing pipeline for laptops built on strix halo is expensive as of now and there are only two laptops in the whole market using it. So Frame.work choose to go the desktop route to save on cost while still making the platform available for everyone.

To be honest, a distributed logic execution engine is an interesting tech, it just isn't something to build any high value economy on top of.

Yeah I was going to comment the same thing. A very big reason why we are even having this conversation about a browser engine powering native apps is because electron exists. Yes it's sub-optimal but that hasn't impeded its conquest in the slightest.

I am more surprised at how the general notion has shifted towards the idea that Next.js is the default starting option now. It just feels like such a drastic change to me, compared to even 2 or 3 years back (last when I paid enough attention to frontend stuff).

and who is funding them? how are they paying for their servers? a product can't be free, someone somewhere is paying for it. the main question is why are they paying for it.

So what's the AI part in this? (And I am not being snarky or condescending here, everyone assumes that's the default on internet. I have more or less missed the AI wave and just playing catchup.) Are you indexing LinkedIn API and feeding it to an algorithm? Or are you converting a natural language query to a database query using an LLM?

You could already use functional components before. The main issue with React now is all these hooks and effects.

That also begs the question how much of that value is substantial and how much of that is just narrative froth from speculation.

Didn't they cancel Counterpart? I watched the first season but never watched the second one when I learnt that it was canceled.
