All of the local tech meetup groups that I used to be a part of in LA seem defunct since even before the pandemic. Do folks still do tech meetups? Is meetup not a thing anymore?

Hot take but hyperscript might be the most unhinged web technology to date.

5. Artifact action still does not retain correct perms when zipping in a way that breaks macOS bundles 6. Workflows must all be grouped in the root dir so shared workflows pollute your actions list (they can't be run) 7. Runs cannot be contextually named based on inputs

Given the popularity of GitHub actions in CI, it's interesting that there are so many longstanding unfixed limitations and bugs. Just a few: 1. No manual approvals (CD) 2. No way to dryrun/validate a workflow 3. Logs still don't refresh correctly on web 4. Missing release events

Throwing AI into the mix would bring about incredible possibility: world building, dialog options, even improving the complexity of storyline / relationships and being able to dive into motive, etc.

Just solved my first case in Shadows of Doubt & it is undoubtedly 2023's Game of the Year. The tech alone built by @colejefferies is 🤯🤩. The amount of functionality jam packed into this early access is wild. Can't even fit it all in a tweet. https://t.co/qAY26Wxf1A Kudos!

Look, everybody has their own reason why current gen AI is not to be trusted for fact checking or analysis, but here is my personal undisputable proof. https://t.co/w0wuSI71Ni

Let me get this straight, Bing's AI will crib content from websites and present it as its own (sure, you get a footnote link), thereby diverting away clicks and causing less of this content to be created in the future for Bing to crib from. Did I get that right?

Bing AI requiring you to use Edge (a clearly non-technical requirement) is peak self-sabotage. Not only are they betting they can move the needle on Bing, but now they have to do it for Edge too.

Love to see people humanize themselves in resumes. Personal projects, hobbies, completely separate skills, it's great to get a sense of the real person on the other end of that PDF.

l've been an uninterrupted @Netflix subscriber for 10 years, but finally that comes to an end. I'd been sharing it w/my parents back home. They don't watch often and these days neither do we, but we kept the sub so they could have it. Without sharing, it's no longer worth. 👋

Finally playing around with WebAssembly in earnest. I have a few technical growth goals for 2023, and catching up on some new technologies is one of them.

Will HTML be relevant in 10 years? I feel like there's a world where we're only serving raw JSON to custom client-side renderers built in JS or other UI toolkits. DOM would still be around, but almost never generated by HTML payloads.

This is such unprecedented and unhinged behavior that perfectly exemplifies how desperate Twitter is right now, and how real they think the threat of mass exodus is that they need to try and hard as they can to wall off the outside world. Free speech though, right?
