I've seen people describe Jev as an "AI if statement". But what if it actually WAS an if statement? Introducing Probably: a programming language powered by Jev: probably-lang.southpolesteve… Jev baked into the language. “feels” asks a question. “match” routes between descriptions. “while” keeps going until something stops feeling true. This is obviously a toy, but it's fun to think about what something like Jev unlocks. Jev makes the decisions, an LLM does the writing, and a little program ties it together.

You’re all overhyping this. I mean, the form factor is cool and I also wanted to buy one for a minute or two, but if you carefully think about it, it’s like those old robots we already got: it’s not really smart, it doesn’t talk or interact with you, it just responds to pre-programmed instructions and comes with only 6 actions pre-programmed. Of course, you can teach it more things, but it’s one of those products that you’ll be amazed with the first week, show it everywhere for a couple of weeks, then slowly start to get bored of it, and you’ll end up waiting for some developers to do any new cool thing to see something new. The “robot camera” thing that @MKBHD has shown recently is, at least, more useful.

We need a bit more shame. People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this. Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation. It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.

I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug If you ask it this prompt: “Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself” but there's no actual photo the model starts hallucinating the image by itself and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos @sama @OpenAI

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

This is how I got 1M users in 6 months Finally dropping it! It's 60 pages lol tally.so/r/BzZpA4 If you repost & follow, I'll send you some extra sauce🌶️
