Ha, and I’ve been using Datalevin for my vibe-coded apps! Thank you so much for such a wonderful piece of software.

> Posting about your ideas or your product just isn't that interesting.

On the contrary, I wouldn’t be using Capacities if they didn’t have their entire development roadmap on your product, so thanks

Apparently this was written in ClojureScript. I’m actually a bit surprised by that, since this kind of thing seems perfect for vanilla JS.

New comment by zrkrlc in "Superlinear Returns"

zrkrlc — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 19:13:27 +0000

With multimodal GPT-4 I really feel like there's suddenly way more things I'm confident about attempting (e.g. anything bottlenecked by graphic design), which should in turn should lead to more things I'll be confident about in the future. Can a hyperproductive person verify if the returns here don't actually look linear, but geometric?

I still maintain that Alan MacDonald is the best expositor of the subject I've seen. His books are almost entirely self-contained. Here's a sampling: http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/GA&GC.pdf

Not a lot going on there but some people have told me they really like my essays so I elected to put my favourite ones online.

Mind giving a concrete example? I read through the entire thing but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Is the point that your user stories should touch upon every aspect of your app, while still being incremental?

With all the drama surrounding Reddit at the moment, it's nice to look back to a time when things were so much simpler, and most of the things we had to worry about were just tech.

Minor nitpick, but weren't the best of these calculators (i.e. the HP ones with RPN) postfix instead of prefix?
