This is is even more relevant when we talk about about AI-generated imagery. Yes, you can see AI producing images and videos with stunning detail. But it just does not “feel” right on a deeply subconscious level.
This video puts to words some of the feelings I've had about modern movies/cgi/digital film but haven't been able to enunciate, but moreover nails a problem in modern art making: the lack of real, tactile experiences reflected in the work youtu.be/tvwPKBXEOKE?...

This is perfect summary of the state of X.
At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

Stop calling it a Rust issue, OK?

It's an error caused by human negligence and miscommunication.

Like most bugs.

End of story.

With Al the hype around LLMs, it pains me to see how terribly neglected other ML tools have become. Classifiers, in particular. Yes, you can use an #LLM for classification, but it’s about the same as using a chainsaw to cut your salad. It’s terribly inefficient.

Thanks to @deadprogram.com and his Yzma project, you don't need to deploy model servers anymore, you can run GGUF models directly in your #golang code.

I have cool examples, including a full RAG app using DuckDB. I will have more complex examples soon.

It's amazing how such an old and dusty Mac app can be so effective in keeping you away from doomscroll black holes. It does so well, because it blocks them at the system's hosts level.

A 10/10 recommendation!

For the last two years, we've been working on a new build tool for #Java, called #bld. It has now been added as one of the standard options to generate snippets in #Maven Central, the most popular repository of Java packages. Yay! 🥳

🎂Happy 16th Birthday #golang!🎉

From simplicity to scalability, Go keeps proving it was built to last. A language that doesn’t chase trends, it outlasts them.

We celebrate its origin & impact on modern engineering in our latest article 👇

There's a free iOS app called BitCam which only takes pictures like this, and I absolutely love it.

Takes me back to my earliest days with the first Mac I ever owned, a Mac Plus.

For times like these, when you'd think the world is going nowhere, I've set up this @feedle.world RSS feed search. There is so much going on in health, but we are so deep in 💩reading about politics that we don't even notice it.

I am adding more feeds here from other science disciplines as well.
