This is your quarterly reminder that if you have young kids and are a fan of the open web, they should be using https://t.co/OqExdy4mQj on whatever tablet you have at home! It’s a fun and educational Progressive Web App I built for my own kids this year.

@zpao Sorry to hear! If Stainless hadn’t just been acquired I’d have hired you in a heartbeat. Best of luck with whatever’s next

@cnakazawa Also, if just running locally, my little json-ai-translations npm module basically does this too :-). Detecting new/modified strings and only translating them

@rauchg I built the WebGL Greeting Cards and the Web Assembly based wet paint brushes in https://t.co/K40KtL3O3B with Claude Sonnet. Demos: https://t.co/VZwFGfYOoh , https://t.co/i0gUQJrUv8

@wholemars A retrofit of FSD version 4 in my 2020 Model S that I STILL don’t have FSD in here in Europe. 6 years of patience, how many more?

[Shane O'Sullivan @chofter]

@bcherny I try but it just shows a popup saying it failed and that I could try again. I’m on a Max plan, is Auto mode somehow restricted?

Microsoft's reliability is so bad that not even NPM's Status page knows that its website https://t.co/6fw3UH7HnI is down

@jerryjliu0 Take a look at https://t.co/hdgFdNptVf , we put a huge amount of work into helping our customers self serve

[Shane O'Sullivan @chofter]

@karpathy Clearly you just wanted to work with @RattrayAlex and the Stainless crew :-)

[Shane O'Sullivan @chofter]

I had a fantastic 3.5 years at Stainless, building and managing the SDKs engineering team. While sad to say goodbye to such genuinely wonderful, intelligent and innovative colleagues, I’m so excited to see what they all build at Anthropic.

[Stainless @StainlessAPI]

We're thrilled to announce that Stainless is joining @AnthropicAI! Stainless was founded to make software better for everyone, and we're honored to continue that mission on the Anthropic team. Check out the announcement blog post for more: https://t.co/guUmXn0OoS

.. my SEO was literally wrong, pointing to "myelevation dot com", missing the hyphen. Claude then told me 8 other simple ways to make it better and did so. I've now begun to get clicks from Google, months later.
Me == Muppet.

Ever feel like a complete dumbass? Well, I do this week. I was getting thousands of visitors to https://t.co/JogXZoPAYd , my little side project, but all from China, literally zero from Google. I finally looked into it, and ...

A quick little demo of Mazers, the fun game I shipped a couple of weeks ago for iPhone. It’s a port of Mazer, a game I built for WebOS in 2010. Free to download, give it a try!

@GamewithDave Settlers on PC. Years of my life spent in that amazing game

@BLSmith2112 My 2020 Model S is basically a fossil now. I think that basically zero of the Spring updates apply to it. It's supposed to be their flagship, but nothing of note has improved on it since 2022 or so - I'm in Europe, so can't even get FSD

[Shane O'Sullivan @chofter]

The Number 1 puzzle game for ... WebOS... lives again! I rewrote my fun game Mazers from 2010 to be all modern and pretty, running on iOS and iPad.
Play it today, it's free!

@jtaby Yeah they put crappy confusing buttons on the wheel instead of stalks. They brought indicator back. Still can’t control wipers without the screen, or Drive/Reverse like on my S.

[Shane O'Sullivan @chofter]

@jtaby My wife's 2021 Model 3 is decent, but the buttons on the wheel are no match for the wheel controls in the Model S.

[Shane O'Sullivan @chofter]

@jtaby I've been driving Teslas since 2013, so I'm a big fan of their UI. I currently drive a 2020 Model S, and I feel that soon after it they jumped the shark a bit. I still have three stalks, including one to manage my autopilot speed & follow distance. These should be on all Teslas.
