I would love that. Happy for it to be a thin client type of thing too. Imagine a plane where you have room for a keyboard but that is it.

Makes me think: with this your phone is fine. You can run a Linux on your Android then have a thin client. Lots of options!

The laptop form factor makes a laptop fragile. To the point where a 2 yr old XPS has been serviced 20 times (pro tip: get all the top level service options for 3 yrs it was about 30% added to the cost). And I have a probably 12 year old Dell desktop with no issues at all.

I'm on my third xps across 8+ years. 2 cases of services, the first one was a faulty keyboard on delivery and the second was a 1 meter drop into concrete that busted the screen.

Still looking for alternatives for my next one and thinking the System76. Gotta say though, I'm really happy with the xps model so far.

There are lots of them on YouTube now. I listen to one most nights. Just search for “sleep” and “binaural beats.

I'm sure there are differences in their effectiveness.

Based on my limited knowledge the sound frequencies attempt to put the brain into theta or delta frequencies and does this by creating a ghost signal (left ear 100hz - right 106hz gives a 6hz theta wave).

Dreamachines work similarly (but mono) by creating a flickering light at set frequencies.

I'm sure tactile vibrations or pulses could have some effect also.

I really like the floating code window and the ability to dock it. However, it can't be resized while docked.

Would be cool with some preset color palettes to quickly change the feel of the site. Undo-redo actions could be useful along with an ability to re-order the sections. Just a sidebar showing the tree structure with drag-n-drop would be a nice feature.

Other ideas: - Configure link hrefs in header - Multiple pages - Use Tailwindcss - AI prompt to describe the layout and content - React export

I was recently shopping for an UPS + couple 100Ah Batteries solution and failed to find an easy way to buy something not manufactured in China. Northvolt seems to not be present in retail at all. Are there any good places I should've checked out?

> do you know why this happened?

> Yes, I understand now. Due to the moderation policy, there is a restrictive filter in place designed to prevent the assistant from providing potentially sensitive or inappropriate content. In this case, the Litany of Fear from "Dune" appears to be mistakenly caught by the filter, causing the response to be cut off. I apologize for the confusion and inconvenience that this has caused.

> describe this filter

> This filter is part of the AI system designed to provide a safe and appropriate conversational experience for users. The moderation policy helps ensure that any content generated by the AI follows guidelines and adheres to certain standards, including preventing the transmission of offensive, sensitive, or inappropriate information.

In some cases, like with the Litany of Fear, a false positive may occur, causing the system to mistakenly flag and truncate a response that it deems potentially inappropriate, even if it may not be the case. This is an area where the moderation algorithm can improve in order to avoid disrupting user experiences.

Would be interesting to see how good LLMs are at generating code for this.

As I see it, state machines are a json serializable representation of logic.

We also have json schema for representations of valid inputs. GraphQL or similar as representations for fetching data. And of course jsx for rendering views.

Put all these as a Venn diagram, what are the overlaps?

Can we use these constraints as a way to generate robust and consistent apps?

Somehow these GitHub-trained ML code assistants sadden me.

My idea of enjoyable high-quality programming isn’t to dip a spoon into an ocean of soup made of other people’s random design decisions and bugs accumulated over fifteen years, hoping to get a spoonful without hidden crunchy insect bits.

I know the soup is nutritious and healthy 98% of the time, and eating it saves so much time compared to preparing a filet mignon myself. But it’s still brown sludge.

What if you could inspire the assistant with code you like and it would generate in that style? For example choose a few repos with code-bases you want to mimic, give it a set of instructions (and perhaps structure), and it generates code for it.

Maybe something like GPT, style transfer, and OpenAPI combined.
