Is LLM tech a black marble, or white? Is AutoGPT dangerous? Feels nascent and powerful.
Yes. Just zapped someone and it was about 8 taps and 15 seconds. After which i was out of damus and had to navigate back by myself
I want to punish my nostr sdk, but haven’t implemented enough nips. (No time!!). Guess your prompt is a kick in my 👖
Left/right is one dimension. A second dimension is how honestly do you think about arguments and positions: Scientists, sports fan, attorney or zealot. Sam Harris recently interviewed Tim on the Making Sense podcast and this gave a good overview.
I’m reading it too. Broadly interesting and good insights. On the flip side, too much discussion of US politics to keep my attention in some parts.
It was for a startup called TallyGo https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/clearpath. We had highly accurate route-finding. More accurate than Google when we started (they got better in the subsequent years), but much less capacity to serve requests because we were doing time sensitive A* and not smart approximations. That was Scala on the backend, Spark pipelines and the A* was in Rust.
The entire product was an SDK for mobile developers to integrate into their apps. After 3 years of development we got worried that our map tile provider was going to cut our lunch and build the same thing, so I started working on this tile generation pipeline. The data was from OSM and spark was involved, as was some binary that I don’t recall. Lots of running, waiting, tweaking, re-running etc.
The routing engine work in the prior 3 years was somewhat more interesting and I spent a lot of time on turn-by-turn instructions, which seems simple until you start to get into it. The start-up ultimately failed due to shenanigans when we tried for acquisition. (We got screwed). All the code is shelved away in some holding company now. No regrets though.
Performance. I could get the entire globe rendered down to to z18, but it still took a day or two.
Always up for coffee with a fellow nostrich!
Five years ago I was building a map tile rendering pipeline. It was a lot of fun.
Priest here. Holy for raids, Shadow for pvp. From launch until 2 days after Cataclysm wherein I left in disgust. :)
It is wonderful. The villages around Ubud are delightful.
What Nostr development really looks like:

TIL about nostcat. What does it give over websocat?
I guess it’s because you can see constant, methodical progress by machinery and know you are not being held up by the actions of other people.
What kind of client are you building?
Hot envy.
This was my favourite place to chill over coffee in Tokyo.

Happy Birthday #[0] ! Love your work. Don’t go changing’!
That’s a good point. It’s like the Nespresso - not great coffee, but easy for people who aren’t baristas. :D
