I think the last time I tried Deno for desktop it didn't allow for fullscreen webview apps. that was a showstopper for our kiosk apps. I'll have to revisit that issue and see if it's resolved now. I'm glad to see Deno continuing to march on.

Yes but don't we still try to control brush fires so they don't burn down neighborhoods?

or are you setting the scene for well-meaning technocrats to back unrestricted AI development in hopes it will bring about utopia while dismissing the damage it could cause in the hands of adversarial groups?

| When the people who built and operated your cloud would rather knead dough than touch a terminal again, that’s not a career pivot. That’s a trauma response.

Yes it is and I'm glad someone has said it. I didn't realize it until now.

Thank you I'm not trying to be and build everything...just enough to make the process more enjoyable for myself and maybe others too!!

I'm building an operational dashboard for solo entrepreneurs in the collectibles market.

Most of the people in this space are tech illiterate, but I think that's going to change when they start to age out.

The next generation of antique dealers and collectibles market curators are going to need tools built for them.

I only entered the space 6 months ago after inheriting some old vintage travel and tourism material. I was lured in! I've spent the last 15 years of my tech career working on custom built systems that are perfectly suited and tailored to my needs and the needs of my team.

As soon as I started shopping on ebay, checking comps on worthpoint, browsing for auctions on liveauctioneers, manually searching hathitrust and other institutions for research... I started to want to build my own tools immediately.

I don't want 15 different dashboards. I want one. So, I plan to leverage my technical background and expertise in building systems to hopefully enable me outmaneuver other dealers and curators.

I hope to build custom intake pipelines. There's a keyword crisis in the collectibles market. If the seller doesn't put the right keyword in their listing, or the buyer doesn't put the right keyword in their search query, the two never meet. I look for very specific types of old vintage travel and tourism material, and I have to manage a list of hundreds of search terms in order just to find one specific type of item. They are out there, they're just hidden and unaccessible.

I'm getting into old maps, books, and ephemera - mostly travel and tourism related stuff. I'm also currently researching old printing methods like lithography and letterpress. I recently purchased my first rubber brayer, some cotton-rag paper, some ink, and a 1930's letterpress plate. I hope to have my first pulls this weekend if time allows.

If you want America on board, get the people on board. Tell them why it's a good idea to stop driving their car. I'm not saying this to be snarky, but that's what it's going to take.

I have no evidence besides my own experience, but I think that the "back the blue" mentality might skew their support staff's objectivity a bit. Especially in smaller cities and towns where cops aren't just law enforcement, they are foundational pillars of morality and governance. The point I hope I'm making is that they are getting bad advice not because they are stupid, or the people around them are, but rather because it's inevitable due to complex social and psychological reasons.

I'm not surprised. Weren't we getting signals like 3 or 4 months ago that used car repossessions were ticking up? That's a breaking point for folks. The economic boulder keeps rolling and I'm not wearing any shoes. Spiking the price of oil is definitely going to help. This too shall pass?

I'm not a policy person. I'm a regular guy, a dad, an engineer...but I am not surprised by Noem's complete incompetence. The grown-ups in the room were not saying the correct things in their campaign speeches or their news interviews to convince me that they knew what they were doing. I know that all new administrations have a learning curve, but the writing was on the wall and is still on the wall for many appointees in this administration.

It's very sad. We can do better. We deserve better.

Does deploying these models in "the classified network" also mean this technology is going to be used to help kill people?

Freedom means freedom to exclude and alienate at the government level? Is that your argument? I can see your hypothesis, but I don't see your evidence.
