There has always been free OSS clones of these softwares available, no vibe-coding needed, yet these companies still managed to sell their products at a premium. I could be wrong but AI coding is likely net-positive by improving their margins than a real threat to established SaSS companies.

Same sketch & prompt with https://t.co/pFxFLyFYeQ, great result off the bat, second prompt just asked it to attach the wings. Now this is something I can actually print as is, or cut it into parts in the slicer to print a large version. Well done @zachdive & team.

I've been using various 3D modeling AI apps and got really excited when I saw this, so I upgraded to Ultra and asked Deep Think to create a printable model for a Macaw with this detailed sketch.

These are the masterpieces it has managed to produce so far with hours of iterations.

Far from what I was hoping and what the video makes you believe it can do.

@cramforce Reminded me of the “Martian Headset” essay by Joel.

Good old times

@dhh If you think of TS as just a DSL for writing Lint rules, then things like this make a lot more sense.

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@cramforce Looking forward to the “Roastbeef & Rave” early-bird specials at the club. They are gonna make bank filling the unused 4:30 - 9:30 time slot.

@BrendanEich @rustlang @littlecalculist “the nerd cave” eh? We need to name one of our meetings rooms this, brb, filling a workplace ticket

@cramforce @ryanflorence @rauchg Give them one more lambo to build Origin Trial for Safari to unlock all the other lambo-funded features behind the experimental wall.

@cramforce Scary scary or Monster Inc. scary?

I don’t think it’s the hallway thing though, it’s probably scarier if someone says hi or even tries to make eye contact on the way to MK/TotT

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@bgalbs Counterpart is so underrated, it’s great TV. I wonder if it would have been more popular if it were on AppleTV instead of Starz/Prime

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@mauerbac 💯

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@cramforce Curious as well. Been looking for this to replace linting in multiple languages. Only thing I have found so far is Swift 5’s StaticString.

@stefanpenner @KremlinRussia_E Since we have @KremlinRussia_E’s attention here adding us to some to-be-assassinated list, can one of you minions buy this book for Putin? https://t.co/DIoQIb1nk9 It works great on children who throw tantrum for attention.

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@stefanpenner @KremlinRussia_E The whole thing is like a Twitter bot hooked up to his calendar. Let’s create one for work: “Ali Ghassemi had a telephonic zoom call with the president of DPH on the importance of mutual collaboration” <attachment: picture of a 486 desktop PC with Zoom and Winamp open>

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@stefanpenner I am still fascinated that this might be very different than how most people imagine stuff. Reading up more on this online. Self-diagnosis and comparing experiences is hard. It’s kinda like trying to figure out if the color “Red” I see is the same as yours..

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

Well, shit! Turns out I also have full-on Aphantasia and had no idea there was even such a thing! How is this not commonly discussed and assessed by Drs, optometrists, school checkups, etc? I’m fascinated now that vast majority of people can actually “render” things in their mind

[trevnorris @trevnorris]

Recently I learned I have aphantasia (having no voluntary mental imagery). Never realized visualizing was a thing. I'm curious how many are the same.

I've replied to this tweet with an image. Please rank yourself on how well you can mentally conjure the image in box 6

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@stefanpenner I can “see” (with clear visual sensory association) stuff in dreams though and very rarely voluntarily for few seconds in half-sleep states but everyday imagination has no visual aspect to it.

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@stefanpenner Mostly and depending on what I’m thinking about, either in English or Farsi. I can and do use non-verbal constructs like flowcharts and maps when thinking too.

[Ali G @AliGTheOtherOne]

@trevnorris Wow, I also had no idea this was a thing and I can’t visualize at all. Thanks for sharing.
