I have no idea why Google is wasting their time with this. Trying to hallucinate an entire world is a dead-end. There will never be enough predictability in the output for it to be cohesive in any meaningful way, by design. Why are they not training models to help write games instead? You wouldn't have to worry about permanence and consistency at all, since they would be enforced by the code, like all games today.

Look at how much prompting it takes to vibe code a prototype. And they want us to think we'll be able to prompt a whole world?

Imo they explain pretty well what they are trying to achieve with SIMA and Genie in the Google Deepmind Podcast[1]. They see it as the way to get to AGI by letting AI agents learn for themselves in simulated worlds. Kind of like how they let AlphaGo train for Go in an enormous amount of simulated games.

I call cat when I need to pipe or copy something, and just bat if I wanna read it myself. I find this as a good compromise, I like how bat formats things.

Your solution would be ok with an alias as well, so thanks. Might try it just so I dont need yet another program lying around

You can still pipe bat output as it falls back to unformated output when it detects a non-interactive terminal. https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#file-conca...

I've used it for 15 years and ST is still the first thing I install on a new PC.

All thoughts, meeting notes, journals, blog post drafts... everything is jotted down in ST first. I even went as far as writing my own to-do list syntax highlighter[1] which is the main reason ST is always open, at home and at work, even though I mostly use VSCode and IntelliJ for coding nowadays.

Love the simplicity of your to to-do list syntax highlighter in comparison to todo.txt. That's more how my brain works, as simple as possible. Especially your take on the due date vs. date when you plan to do it. Will definitely try it out.

Something being unfamiliar doesn't make it worse. Or better necessarily, but it seems noteworthy that your frustration is with a feature designed to make it possible to drag draggable things around without losing them if your finger leaves the trackpad for an instant.

> Or why does Apple insist on having a non-standard keyboard in Germany,

This:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MXCL3D/A/magic-keyboard-u...

Appears to my eye to match this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_keyboard_layout

Precisely. I just switched to the german layout, which has some amusing consequences for words like layout, but: []{}~, looks like everything is where Wikipedia says that a T1 German layout should put things. What's the complaint exactly? Because it's not that the keyboard is nonstandard, is it?

If you'd rather use another layout, you very easily can, right? I mean, I just did.

seedie · a year ago

What they mean is that on a standard german keyboard layout to type []{}~ one would press

  [ Alt Gr-8
  ] Alt Gr-9
  { Alt Gr 7
  } Alt Gr 0
  ~ Alt Gr +

While on an Apple keyboard you use

  [ ⌥-5
  ] ⌥-6
  { ⌥-8
  } ⌥-9
  ~ ⌥-n

Congrats on the launch. I'll take a closer look soon and only played around a bit.

Would be great if you could extend the documentation.

If you're not open sourcing the app, what about at least open sourcing the documentation?

One thing I'd like to extend is on https://www.grafychat.com/d/docs/intro

3. Configure Ollama server to make sure it allows connection from grafychat.

That's not very helpful. Something along the line Set the environment variable OLLAMA_ORIGINS to "https://www.grafychat.com" and rerun "ollama serve". Use your custom host if your using the self-host option.

  ```sh
  OLAMA_ORIGINS="https://www.grafychat.com" ollama serve
  ```

Is not that much more text but makes it way easier for people to go and try out your app with ollama.

Does anyone know what license this is released under? I looked for a few minutes on the site but I didn’t find it.

seedie · 2 years ago

What I usually do for Open Source, instead of browsing the website, check on GitHub. https://github.com/penpot/penpot

The license on GitHub is featured prominently as MPL-2.0

seedie commented on Odd Elastohydrodynamics: Non-Reciprocal Living Material in a Viscous Fluid journals.aps.org/prxlife/... · Posted by u/seedie

seedie · 2 years ago

"This study explores a violation of Newton's third law in motile active agents, by considering non-reciprocal mechanical interactions known as odd elasticity. By extending the description of odd elasticity to a nonlinear regime, we present a general framework for the swimming dynamics of active elastic materials in low-Reynolds-number fluids, such as wavelike patterns observed in eukaryotic cilia and flagella."
