Don’t write something on #Nostr that you’ll later regret 😅 View quoted note →

Their business model is getting investor money. They are not profitable and will not be anytime soon. Maybe never. They are running on the promise of AGI and later ASI. If they can’t create hype, they fail because investors lose interest at that point. It’s a hype-machine. Something Musk and Altman are excellent at. But AI is here to stay, so whether it’s OpenAI or someone else, I don’t really think it matters. Only way for OpenAI and the others to stop is if all the VC money is suddenly gone. The $20/month and $200/month subscriptions certainly aren’t generating enough money to keep the companies alive. View quoted note →

#Nostr is the solution to enshittification (or at least a similar protocol). Users need an easy way to leave a platform (client) and just use a different one without all the hassle of losing their account and data. Nostr enables users to take their identity and just switch to a different client. Nostr is pretty cool 😎 View quoted note →

It’s incredibly sad and disgusting how the European Union and United Kingdom have this desire to ban online privacy for its citizens.

Online #privacy will be a thing of the past if this bill goes through. Unfortunately, I think it will, but only time will tell… Next up, they are probably going to attempt to ban VPNs. View quoted note →

This is certainly very concerning #ChatControl View quoted note →

There’s basically nothing worse than waiting on something to get delivered imo. Especially not when it’s a valuable item…

I got the feature of reorganizing tabs to work a few days ago. Well, mostly working. The animation can look a bit janky sometimes. Also, I need to figure out how I can get the same behavior as Chrome, where if dragging a tab outside the “tab area” and releasing, it will open the same tab as a new window. #dev View quoted note →

Almost have tabs working in my notes app. I want them to behave similarly to #Chrome. When moving a tab, it follows the cursor - my app should work the same. I do already have the following-cursor animation working, but reorganizing tabs don’t exactly work yet. Kinda works, but not entirely. Lemme explain what’s wrong: If I have 3 tabs (tab 1 being left-most and tab 3 being right-most) and I try moving tab 1 to tab 2’s position. Tab 1 follows the cursor and you visibly see tab 2 moving to tab 1’s position with a nice smooth animation - however, this is where the problem begins! Now, I release tab 1, so you would expect it to become tab no. 2. But no… it goes right back to its original position which was being the 1st tab 😩 **The bug:** Right now, to change the tab positions, you must release the tab on top of the tab NEXT to the tab you wish to change with. For example, if switching tab 1 and 2, you must drag tab 1 on top of tab 3. Unless it’s the last tab, then you can just move it to the right position of the last tab, and they will change position correctly. **The fix:** I need to calculate the center point of each tab. If on the left side, change to left position. If on the right side, change to the right side. Pretty obvious, and should be fairly straightforward. #Swift #AppKit #macOS

This is so cool! 🔥 If you're developing native #iOS and #macOS apps, you know how frustrating #Xcode can be at times. It turns out, you actually don't even need Xcode when developing and building your project. I use #Zed for web development, and now I can also use it for native development with Swift 💻

Build, run and debug iOS and Mac apps in Zed instead of Xcode

#Biology is something I’ve always found fascinating and I really want to learn about it. Some time ago, I purchased a book called _Biology Made Easy_ and have been reading it whenever I have time. I’m still learning about the basics like mitosis, apoptosis, metabolism, cell signaling, different types of cells, etc.

I purchased 20 meters of black 100% cotton fabric to make some t-shirts. I bought from a supplier on Alibaba, so I'm very curious about what I'm going to receive 😬 $4 per meter. I think the price is okay, but I'm very new to this, so honestly not entirely sure if I am getting ripped off. A big part of why I chose to buy from Alibaba instead of locally in Europe is because finding 100% cotton with no elastics is so difficult. All of them are like 95% cotton and 5% elastics... #fabrics #sewing

Sora 2 is crazy good. Like really good! But at the same time, it's so damn sad... It's never been easier for scammers to manipulate people. #AI

I don’t think the #AI bubble (if it is actually a bubble) can be compared to the .com crash. Everything with a .com name had crazy valuations without creating any real value. LLMs aren’t like that. The AI companies do have super high valuations, but they DO create value for customers. Think about all the startups that can now work much more efficiently due to LLMs. I can see it myself. The progress I am making on my notes app is amazing, and not something I’d have been able to if I didn’t have #Claude helping me do certain tasks, so I can concentrate on other parts of the coding.

Really interesting video *(if you care about the topic)*: I'm not an AI researcher, but I wouldn't be surprised if we are nearing the end of progress for LLMs. They are so expensive to train and run. The fact that none of the AI companies generates a profit is crazy. It's not like they are losing just a bit of money. No, the numbers are massive...

There are only three types of titles in the Craft notes app. - Title - Subtitle - Heading It's way too limiting...

This is just speculation, but I think a problem social networks are facing is that “normal” people aren’t really posting anymore. Platforms like Instagram need a constant flow of “content” to feed users, because they only earn money when they can show ads, and that requires people to stay on the platform. If they can get people hooked on watching AI slop, they can generate an infinite amount of “content”. I think this is just the beginning of platforms actively pushing AI-generated slop. Btw. I write “content” in quotes because the vast majority of what you find on Instagram and TikTok isn’t something I’d consider real content. It’s just garbage and noise… View quoted note →

Just saw this on Threads... Meta is really trying to push AI generated slop 🤮
