I would really like Air to be closer to an agent / terminal multiplexer like CMUX / WMUX: I would for example like to be able to basically type "claude" or "codex" to launch my harness with the CLI args I need. The fact this requires dedicated API keys from the LLM providers makes it a no go at both home and work.

> As of March 2021, the game has sold 5 million copies worldwide for the PS4 and PC platforms. > By April 2025, Death Stranding had reached over 20 million players worldwide.

This is surely more than $60M-$120M earnings.

ALMA is a radio telescope, i.e., does not measure visible spectrum / light.

What would be great was if those scanned books were made available in their entirety for public consumption if they are old and rare.

I did the tutorial, it was good, I think that what would help is maybe have the arrows where people need to look at have some animation, e.g., pulsating scale or colour, something elegant but hard to miss, took a little bit at times to find them.

This should be part of the Standard Library if so efficient.

Insightful video, never thought that such complexity was hiding there. In a hindsight, it makes total sense.

It feels and looks like threshold-quantized Perlin rather than actual proper dithering. Cool stuff that said!

The video could be a shorter, some of the goofiness might not please the most pressed people but that is also what makes it fresh and stand out.

Modo was also really good, ahead of its time in many respects. Excellent UX, the material system was quite good, especially for rapid prototyping.

Quite enjoying the idea as I have been looking for something like this for a while but it is reallllllly slow for our medium sized codebase, I have like 2 or 3 fps on my M1: https://github.com/colour-science/colour/tree/develop/colour
