How do you prevent having to grab things perfectly in their center of mass? (Because that requirement seems limiting)

Rigid objects would result in the gripper twisting, but the current design could offset some of that by pulling harder in one direction?

I agree I would expect a reference. Another difference between this an AvianVisitors is the image sources. AvianVisitors is all AI generated with a consistent prompt, but OP's is using chiefly public domain images with retouching by AI as needed.

Due to their past, LLMs need to prove themselves as correct and accurate. Bloggers have already gone through this gauntlet and have proven to be more likely to be correct and accurate.

Neither are a guarantee.

AI-prose may be vetted, but there is no way for a reader to know that for certain as much AI-prose is not.

As such, you cannot be sure if the writing contains correct and accurate information at all, even with modern models.

that title might be easier to parse, but it's less poetic and less attention grabbing

It's a good analysis but the AI slop writing makes me not trust you've reviewed this and I'm unable to finish or subscribe. I'm sure you're a great blogger but this is holding it back!

love the concept and dont mind that ai wrote the code, but please consider rewriting the readme out of the AI style and cadence, it's a bit exhausting seeing ai writing everywhere.

Sorry, meant say that Blacksky is much more important than the metrics you point to, with more detail on that wiki.

They're the first alternative full stack, the first alternative AppView, and that is something that the author should have mentioned. However, it weakens the argument so they left it out.

"Number of contributors" has never meant impact. You wouldn't dismiss openssl or curl, ya know?

Yes, I only open an IDE to run a debugger when needed. The vim support isn't exhaustive and it's jarring whenever a command doesn't work.

This is about Vi though and that's certainly more rare. For me that's only used over a rare ssh with vim not available but vi present

Yes, I agree. Everyone in ICE or supporting them.

I disagree. Notable and impacting politics are often here and foster interesting discussions.

Everything is political, and nowadays everything has relation to tech. ICE is being supported by Palantir and many defense tech companies and that technology impacts and perfects the terror and abuse by ICE in Minneapolis.

It's important for us to talk about this, especially when it is uncomfortable.
