Do you have a user-agent switcher? If so, set it back to Firefox temporarily or set it to disable automatically on https://addons.mozilla.org/

Perhaps there should be more funding for fully reproducible models like LLM360-Amber and LLM360-Crystal.
Reposting this because frankly, it's some of the best writing I've done in a while, and I'm damn proud of it.
There's nothing a user interface designer loathes more than complexity. Every design—at least, every modern design—seeks to minimize clicks, icons, visual noise. What if instead of a button, we had a borderless icon? What if instead of navigation controls, we used gestures?
And what if—hear me out—instead of search results, we had language model-distilled text delivered to you, hot and fresh?

Maybe a combination of hyperbolic discounting, anchoring effect, and gambler's fallacy.
I've been playing around with using a message bus system in #love2d to loosely couple modules.
One of the weaknesses of love is that its built in message passing feature (handlers) require modules to know about each other. This makes it difficult to to reuse components between games.

Since #genuary4 prompt is "pixels" the best way to show them is by serious upscaling of sprites. Here's a #winter Outrun-like #tweetcart

We really, really don’t want to have to make a printer, but wow.
TikTok is adding a feature that will make every video shopping by using AI to recognize objects and allow you to shop for similar things on TikTok Shop.
This will further the current sense that every TikTok video is now trying to sell you something.
