Just did the same with claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929

The page looks much more consistent to the original. Only produced the html as output and the thinking in the comment of the html.

A noob speaking here. Why aren't there efforts to have a memory bank like structure where you attend to a sub set of codes depending on the key(at the attention level)? is this already done with the global attention mechanism (what is it even)?

Having superficial knowledge about data storage/DBMS, perhaps I am just spewing nonsense. But I always imagine that a compaction layer for the long-tail/old data should be a standard, where less accessed(sometimes once a month) is pushed to a s3(but still queryable) like storage.

Thanks for your contribution and maintaining the pion library(I am a user). The thing is that WebRTC usually isn't a complete solution, many don't want to have p2p but a p2s2p(which usually means distributed computing/SFU) solution, which makes developing an application way too complex.

> func Index[S ~[]E, E comparable](s S, v E) int {

After seeing this signature, I think that Go is giving up on it's simpleness principle.

Still a good idea overall, perhaps they did a silly execution and had made efficiencies error which a team wouldn't do now a day(listed some in these comments). They somehow went for growth-at-all-cost instead of increasing their density to check the unit economics of a single location and then move on with the gained knowledge.

Disney did a better job of demonstrating the Vision Pro's ability than apple. This is obviously going to be a hit, and by gen 3 - 4(with a ton a immersive apps) it might by trailing behind iPhone.

Why not use a tensorflowjs pose estimation model? They mention MediaPipe Iris but didn't find any tensorflowjs model?? https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/demos/posenet/cam...

Is the value of accreditation that high, making it an USP? i.e. should an edtech go after the universities and school as a source of certification or more after the engagement of their user on their platform? I prefer the latter.

The content is certainly more interactive, but the interaction among users is still not given and the production also requires more resources to produce(I presume). Can hardly see that this kind of service will become the future of edtech.

Arguably, YouTube (YT) is the best education technology platform on the internet, yet it is just a non-creative successor of the VHS/TV and not even CD(which had the menu, breaking the linearity of the frames). The bits are transmitted over switches and routers instead of a cartridge with a magnetic tape, improving the latency for the end-user and YT also has the recommendation system which is usually a hit-or-miss. YT has definitely the largest educational content to offer, though it can be difficult to find or even search for it. And it's lacks interactivity, has the comment system of 1990s. Khan Academy overcomes some of YT's deficits, but adds too much friction to the user interface and user experience and is a one-man show. Is there any innovation happening in this field, and what is your opinion on the future of this education technology?
