I read the "imagination" as prelude to "Jevon's paradox" for AI. It might be that we simply don't know yet what using AI fully means, and where else it can be used and how. Electricity was initially just for lighting, but now it's everywhere...

NVIDIA and layoffs - Are you sure? I mean there are probably some, but from what I'm hearing from friends working there - it's not typical....

Reminds of what happened in Iceland and their bank/financial restruction since 2008 and how humans had to understand again how finance works.

There are several good algos used for diffing graphics for not so pixel-for-pixel rendering allowing thresholds (you are going to end up with differences between software and GPU rendering at least - it's inevitable):

But also SSIM, perceptualdiff, and many others

For UI/web certain other methods are better, for video - I'm sure there are prefferences there too.

My son has developed this with Claude as lighter version of Spotify's own player. It requires paid spotify accounts and written in Rust + Tauri. Completely LLM coded.

It says for Windows only, but I think he works on supporting Linux / OSX too.

This is like piano makers being really bad at playing. I mean it does not relate directly.

Looks like Burning Man started as docker service running on my machine, it's been growing since then ... I'm also curious about this!

10% of my garrage... okay, exxagerating - but at least 0.1% is the big box of cables of who the fuck knows what ... including several firewire, and really old nintendo, and some that I forgot what it was about...

Does this apply to Netflix, Amazon, Disneys, and many other streaming providers's "What to watch next? Recommended..." of sorts (or music/podcast streaming services)...

I spent years (on my free time) coding Lisp, even had the aspiration (but I was younger then) to rewrite P4V (Perforce Client GUI) in it :) -

but haven't touched it in years....
