If the headline is true, this guy values the AI at $41.73, but his own time at $0/hr. If that's how we're measuring things, then my development team costs $0 a month.

Seems like a lot of changes to be a .1 release, no?

Really excited for I/O as an interface!

Those were all changes in 0.15.0, but we snuck a few bugfix PRs in for a quick patch release before Andrew finished writing the release notes ;)

> Pro Res Zoom uses Tensor G5 and an all-new generative imaging model to intelligently recover and refine intricate details.

Reminds me of https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/13/23637401/samsung-fake-moo...

I guess we'll never be able to trust any photos taken with a Pixel 10 or above.

reST inline syntaxes are pretty much word-based, which doesn't work very well with agglutinative languages. For example if you want to apply a markup to "이 페이지" in "이 페이지는 ..." (lit. This page in This page is ...), you need to do `*이 페이지*\ 는 ...` AFAIK. That would happen every single time affixes are used, and affixes are extremely frequent in such languages.

Oh I see, you're talking about this:

  thisis\ **bold**\ text
  thisis\ :strong:`bold`\ text
It's possible, but you're right, definitely more awkward than markdown.

Guaranteed, reST is more feature-complete and extension-friendly, but it is simply unusable for me because it wasn't designed for agglutinative languages like Korean. Markdown is much better in this case (though CommonMark has an annoying edge case [1]).

What do you mean not designed for Korean? It's just unicode. If there's some situation where RST isn't parsing inline markup, you can write the role explicitly like this:

  this is **bold** text
  this is :strong:`bold` text

"And then theres the whole concept of what intelligence actually is."

Thank you, I'm glad someone understood my comment at least.

What's the status on cryptocurrency tech and ecosystem right now actually? I did some work in that area some years back but found all the tooling tobe in an abysmal state that didn't allow for non-finance applications to be anything but toys so I got out and haven't looked back, but I never stopped being bullish on decentralized software.
do_not_redeem · 8 days ago
If you want to build something not related to finance, why do you want to use cryptocurrency tech? There's already plenty of decentralized building blocks, everything from bittorrent to raft, that might be more suitable.

Is cryptocurrency advancing dramatically? Maybe this is an illustration of this effect, but I haven't seen any news about any major changes, other than line-go-up stuff.

No news is good news. A boring article like "(Visa/USDC) settles trillions of dollars worth of transactions, just like last year" won't get clicks.
