@inthehands Yeah, CSS makes me grumpy too... you can't win them all!

Ian Bicking (ianbicking@hachyderm.io)'s status on Sunday, 11-Feb-2024 04:19:17 JST Ian Bicking @inthehands there's some unfortunate caveats there, but overall it looks like a kind of cool feature that you can define a variable and its value will propagate through an entire declarative layout system...
Web browsers are kind of awesome and older and more adaptable than any other computing platform I can think of. Apple II had a pretty short life in comparison

Ian Bicking (ianbicking@hachyderm.io)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Feb-2024 12:15:18 JST Ian Bicking I spent some time making a system to mirror JSON Schemas in TypeScript types in my source code, but really I spent 90% of the implementation time trying to figure out how to run a script between TypeScript and Node's reluctance to import modules.
(Eventually found tpx, which worked right away, as these things tend to go.)
It would be a silly use of time for me at this moment, but I do look forward to using Deno.

Transportation serves purposes. The third image contains the message "movement of goods and services don't matter" and "the large-scale economic integration of an urban area doesn't matter."
I don't believe the car-centric approach is the only way forward, but this romanticism doesn't offer a serious alternative, we need to imagine better futures than any of those images.

Ian Bicking (ianbicking@hachyderm.io)'s status on Saturday, 16-Sep-2023 05:59:28 JST Ian Bicking @chrismessina @Sarahp @pfefferle are there sites that turn rss feeds into activitypub generally?
I'm assuming they'd need to add functionality, and that functionally would be attached to the proxy site and not the original rss/blog, but that seems ok

It doesn't know the script and recreates it from vibes. But it's not terrible.

Ian Bicking (ianbicking@hachyderm.io)'s status on Saturday, 13-May-2023 13:33:47 JST Ian Bicking I've been jamming on some #GPT roleplaying chat. My daughter is doing a report on Shakespeare so I wrote a quick prompt so she could chat with him. She's enjoying it. There is a certain sense of discovery when you aren't sure how the character is going to respond.
I have also lightly used Khanmigo and realized I could compare our chatbots. The underlying tech is the same (though I mostly use 3.5, which I find very suitable, and I think Khanmigo uses GPT-4).
Some comparisons follow...

Ian Bicking (ianbicking@hachyderm.io)'s status on Saturday, 13-May-2023 13:33:46 JST Ian Bicking "In your mind, do your characters live lives outside of what's in the plays?" then "Did you imagine Hamlet as a child? What was he like?"
Khanmigo will not just answer the damn question and shut the fuck up! And it's all basically in the third person, it's not answering anything _as_ William Shakespeare. The answers are thorough... and largely what you get if you ask ChatGPT the same questions.
"As an AI simulation of William Shakespeare" ... is that really necessary?

Ian Bicking (ianbicking@hachyderm.io)'s status on Monday, 01-May-2023 02:30:29 JST Ian Bicking @inthehands How do they define adequate funding?
I think this sentence is the description, but there's a lot packed into that:
> In their research, Baker, DiCarlo and Weber estimated how much it would cost a school district to reach average academic outcomes.
How much of the funding disparity is a disparity in need?
