This thing comes across so pretentiously, but they have some really novel CSS ideas I might try. The idea of making selector based on [style*="--bgc:"] and using that to set background color like style="--bgc: red" is not something that I would have thought of.
Happy you enjoyed it. Most of my creations just build on and with Startr.Style. It's a tight alternative to Tailwind's mess of classes. I especially love how directly it translates to pure styling yet allows us to have responsive design eg add the -md suffix to --bgc to specify background colors for tablets and up.
When I work on Modernism or any of the other experimental pages on https://startr.style I don't do it with any pretension but out of a love and familiarity of code and what the web can be. As child I traded helping out at a local computer store for time exploring Gopher and then Mosaic's window to the web.

It technically doesn't say "self-contained", but it does say "portable" and "self-updating", which I must agree is misleading.
If you want something actually self contained play with this https://startr.style/modernism/
I think the true reason is that onñy a small fraction of people are interested in convergence and most people are fine, or even truly desire, to have different devices and experiences.
Millions (billions?) of people are happy to leave their phone in another room when working on their computer and vice-versa. Sure you could use a do not disturb button but it would be a major PITA to have enough granularity to allow or disallow certain app/services to notify you and you would be certain to forget to activate/deactivate it when you really want.
Billions of users don't have a computer they work on and don't realize that this might be an option.

Oh, so Claude in this case was a bandaid over a communication problem (the artists not getting the memo about not suddenly showing up with new equipment that you have to support, with no prior discussion, warning, or heads-up).
It absolutely is a game changer.
Now the game for you is to deal with whatever equipment they throw at you, because nobody is going to bother consulting you in advance.
Just use AI, bro.
Good luck next time they show up with gear that Claude can't help you with. Say, because there's no API in the first place, and it's just incompatible the existing flow.
>So the artists would just not be able to do their residency the way they wanted because they only have 3 days on-site to work too.
That, to me, sounds like the good outcome for everyone involved.
It would have been their problem, which they were perfectly capable of solving by suddenly showing up with supported equipment on the job site.
Wanting you to deal with their "suddenly showing up" is not the right thing to want.
If want that, they shouldn't be able to do the residency the way they want.
Saying this as a performing musician: verifying that my gear will work at the venue before the performance is my responsibility, not the sound tech's. Ain't their job to have the right cables or power supplies. I can't fathom showing up with a setup and simply demanding to make it work.
IDK what kind of divas you work with, but what you described is a solid example of a situation when the best tool is saying "no", not using Claude.
The fact that it's a weekly occurrence is an organizational issue, not a software one.
And please — please don't use a chatbot to resolve that one either.
Chill Winston! Artists in residency are not know for being technical. They are not divas demanding support but individuals who are supposed to have access to resources, space, and support that allows them to develop as artists.
The spaces they are working with often benefit from having talented creatives but this isn't a performance gig we're talking about.

Is any model currently known to succeed in the scenario that Carmack’s inappropriate model failed?
No monolithic models but us ng hybrid approaches we've been able to beet humans for some time now.

I don't know if I'm losing my marbles, but I don't ever recall a time growing up when my family (or anyone else I knew) were buying a new VCR every year or two.
Same. It's either that the author had quiet a different life than us or they wrote it using an LLM
Drew Breunig's posts are a must read on this. This is not only important for writing your own agents, it is also critical when using agentic coding right now. These limitations/behaviors will be with us for a while.
They might be good reads on the topic but Drew makes some significant etymological mistakes. For example loadout doesn't come from gaming but military terminology. It's essentially the same as kit or gear.

Why does a Mac-only app that shows a menu bar icon and a notification popup need to be Electron…? That’s 30 lines of Swift, max.
People forget to think about Swift let alone tools like Platypus.
outofpaper commented on LLMs pose an interesting problem for DSL designers kirancodes.me/posts/log-l... · Posted by u/gopiandcode
Depending on the size of a DSL all the more recent LLMs can be employed to work with them. LoRA/Finetuning are a heavier option, followed by RAG, and just setting them up as a big system prompt and caching. And once a model is able to work with a DSL tokens used in valuable code creation can dramatically drop.
