The First Multi-Behavior Brain Upload The Singularity has belonged exclusively to artificial minds, until now.

I did not realize that emulation was this far ahead. The previous iteration was able to do very simple behavior like extending and retraction a tongue based on smell, but now they have an uploaded fly brain capable of controlling a simulated fly. Won't be too long until lobsters at this rate

I find them very wholesome, and I always love seeing the perspective of β€œnewcomers” to the industry, it’s basically timeline cleanse πŸ˜…

Very fair πŸ˜…, we use Vue at my company and it is definitely more sane than React πŸ˜…. My point was it was historically popular and letting companies that built upon it leave Vercel more easily, without having to rewrite their product from scratch feels like a win

My guess is Next is very popular and it’s less costly for people to swap the underlying lib than migrate to Astro (which has a very different API)

Ahah yeah Vi the editor is pronounced Veye I think ☺️

It’s because it based on Vite, which is named after the same word in French (and is pronounced vee-te)

For having to look at the codebase in the past it’s very complicated πŸ˜…, even for a person wanting to move it to Vite starting fresh makes more sense

Self-improving AI Executables Write programs in your own words. Run them in a secure sandbox. Install them like any other tool.

Running AI agents as Unix executables that self-improve has been one of my wilder ideas lately.

You can pipe agents: `think weather | think song`

The agent eventually writes a determinative script after enough runs for simple programs.

It’s as secure as a browser too.

There’s a long-standing idea that implicit throw/catch isn’t as practical as it seems, and errors should be returned explicitly (as in Go).

For TypeScript, a proposal suggests returning either a value or an error so the type system enforces handling.

Last night I had the joy of returning to the place I call home: around a piano, with a gorgeous group of friends, singing show tunes until our voices gave in. Sing Out, Louise! is now open at the Phoenix Arts Club! Huge congrats to the team for pulling this off β™₯️🎹

Btw you don’t need to be a web spec author or work for a browser vendor to contribute to this.

If you spot some incorrect data (either says it supports web it doesn’t, or says it doesn’t when it does) then open an issue β€” or better yet a PR! Make things better for everyone, including future you!!

It’s the kind of case we’re actually automated AI can pilot the car is way more likely than β€œremote human pilot a car convincingly and safely from a remote country”. So no, it’s not likely they’re lying about that.

They technically wouldn’t be able to drive the vehicle from that far remote: first the latency would be way too high, second imagine driving a live car from a remote computer in a safe way that sounds impossible, if that was the case we would see way more Waymo crashes, which we don’t πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Each time I see it post about something else than AI takes I'm like: "Wait, it sometimes does something ELSE than AI 😱?"

- stateful tests definitely (testing β€œfull stack” frameworks like react router framework mode in Cloudflare)
- performance when running large amount of tests with relatively large DOM trees
- native/react native app testing

An advertisement for Zoho CRM featuring a woman smiling and holding her fists up in excitement. She is standing next to a claw machine with a yellow ball labeled "VALUE." The background is blue and there are three multi-colored circles at the bottom with the words "FLEXIBLE," "SIMPLE," and "VALUE." The Zoho logo is in the top left corner and the text "ZOHO CRM. GRAB VALUE. The CRM with game-changing value. www.zoho.com/crm-value." is in the center.

This makes it look like Zoho CRM is neither Flexible nor Simple πŸ˜…

I’m SO excited for this! I’ve read almost every book from the Cosmere, and out of all the streamers out there, I trust Apple TV the most when it comes to faithful adaptation (especially when the author is involved, and Brandon was very clear he wanted to be πŸ‘€)
