@ivanfioravanti I've always found react native and Flutter insufferable user (and developer) experiences. I absolutely agree that with agentic coding tools the argument in favor of cross platform, lowest common denominator tech stacks is greatly diminished for many situations.

It's very cool that Apple shipped a 20B parameter on-device.

You can't put 20B parameters in RAM at any reasonable precision. To make it work they are using pretty exotic architecture by today's standards.

A small model predicts from the query (or prompt) which experts to load from Nand into RAM. The key distinction from a typical MoE is that you do this once per query and then generate all the tokens with the same experts (instead of switching the experts for every token).

@rocco_botte @BYUFlorida This is the correct answer. While some of the park's fans have made a minor career of curmudgeonry, that's a separate category. Removing the Rivers of America felt to many of us like taking the soul out of the Magic Kingdom- it was clearly different. Now hopefully we'll be wrong.

@simonw @TheStalwart This. Every inch! My experience as well.

@Mantia @starwars Great movie. My favorite Star Wars film since Rogue One. This little trailer thing, however, is terrible. Good call out.

@BrerOswald @EpcotEnthusiast @GreenCheetah99 For a few years up until COVID, they had added a really good small salad (it had a lot of cucumbers in it), and a chicken parmesan pasta dish. While it wasn't extraordinary, it was pretty good. MUCH better than the rest of the menu in my mind. I think it's still gone though.

@DrewDisneyDude I'm such an idiot. I spent way too long trying to figure this post out. lol.

Actually pretty funny. :)

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@PBBMGB @Savethedmagic Okay, so you're more interested in the culture wars than in talking about whether or not Carousel of Progress should be updated. I'm weary of culture wars. I think you're wrong, but it's not a very interesting conversation in any event. You do you.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@seanallen_dev @BitrigApp You were look for opportunities for about what, 90 seconds? Well done and congratulations.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@PBBMGB @Savethedmagic I disagree with your take. But it's not relevant. Are we discussing the quality of the new attractions, or the positions of TWDC execs on social issues? I'm not interested in your take on the latter. We're talking about attractions, not civil rights.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@sa_supporter_02 @Savethedmagic I would be delighted if they did that but it feels like a big ask for a relatively obscure attraction. It’s hard not to agree that the investment is better spent on things that will impact more guests.

But sure, I’d love to see your version become a reality.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@kylegriffin1 A real celebration of America's 250th, musically, should be lead by John Williams. Beyond reproach, larger than life. Beloved by all. I doubt he'd want to be associated with Trump, but a non-partisan marking of the occasion, maybe.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@PeterJWasilko @Savethedmagic @JennyENicholson That would be pretty cool, I'll grant you, but I don't think visitors would tolerate a much longer show. Tik Tok, YouTube shorts, Instagram. Societal attention span has collapsed to a dangerously short window.

@CTownEnjoyer @Savethedmagic Walt was traditional in some ways, but also relentlessly experimental and adaptive. You can't freeze his values in the 50s and claim modern changes violate his spirit. Cultural adaptation was central to what he built. We cannot know what his thoughts would be today, obviously.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@Savethedmagic I follow you because I'm sympathetic to this take. Carousel however, is just weird to end in a former future. You *could* leave every scene as was and jump 60 years or whatever at the end, but that would be odd, no?

Their new plan feels like Walt would do if he built this today.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

@johnnie It was a fantastic UI.

[Kalee Kreider @kaleekreider]

I urge you to read this piece from @joshcowenMI I learned so much about this history from the family and he does a beautiful job describing what happened then, and now.

[Dylan Malone @dylanmalone]

The Mandalorian and Grogu gave my family the best movie experience they've ever had. It was the first Star Wars movie for my 10, 9, and 6 year old, and they were completely blown away.

It doesn't move the Star Wars story forward. Good. That has proven rough going. This was fun.
