> Would you just roll over and let Russia invade your country?

Apparently, many Ukrainian men would. Or maybe they'd seen it like a mere change in upper management, initially. Otherwise the Ukrainian government would not have felt it necessary to forbid them from leaving the country or to press/force them into military service.

(And, frankly, the people affected are the only ones whose opinion should matter in this situation.)

> Bleeding to repel the Russian invasion, you mean

It's always easy to spill other people's statistical blood from the other side of the planet.

What an insane statement. "Knowledge is bad for you, dummy"?


I have no idea how you got that weird statement from my comment.

Maybe you need to get roasted? :)


> looks and feels like a Chatgpt wrapper

No one who has "built an AI" and posted it here on HN has actually trained a LLM. They're all wrappers for some service.

This one is at least funny.

Waiting for someone to have it evaluate Apple's new "AR" interface.


This is a good idea. It reminds me of the need for better visual debugging or visualization of the masked complexity in these products. I'm sure they exist inside tech titans, but I haven't seen them outside terrain visualization in open source.

Thanks for the highlight. I wasn't aware that Apple had released a new AR interface though I have used the previous VisionPro generation.

FWIW, I find the whole experience disconcerting from a design perspective.

Why?

1) We have been stuck at a Cartesian lossy limit of blocks world keyhole problems for 50 years on desktop and poor imitations of it found in tap interfaces.

2) That edge remains liminal and uncanny, precisely because it is lossy in terms of dimensions and their implied dimensionality and lack of scalability, ignorance of zoomable interface research and so on, from pixels at 2d to voxels at 3d, to 4-tuples (XYZT) in 4D and beyond.

3) Just like LLMs, the exploding dot cloud, or vector spaces of n-dimensional data found in our reality from inner space to outer space haven't really received the quantum-leaning, mirror world treatment they deserve - one which scales with the exploding complexity of its underlying dot cloud of vector spaces in all dimensions.

We are in need of a topos theoretic leap in UX/UI for decades - one which can incorporate the need for disconnected spaces that provide a localized logic to bridge the lack of unification from one uncanny valley to another. Sadly, what I've seen from the dichotomy of dominance in tech titans has not provided a compelling answer, at least not in public. I remain hopeful that R&D labs are still breathing in these sadly corporate places and simply are far more secretive since Steve.

Problem is, outside tiny pizza-team-sized labs, the number of R&D labs realizing the problem of synthesizing hybrids at 2.5d or the like is infinitesimally small.


> I wasn't aware that Apple had released a new AR interface

I mean the stupid translucent iphone UI they threatened us with...


It’s just a wrapper. For now you can’t put detailed ui stuff just websites but hopefully I’ll tune this further. It’s trained on design principles

My bad. The api calls and traffic did roast the resources.

I think you got your causalities wrong there


On 02.04.2008, Russian State Duma confirmed that 7 million (adults and unknown number of children) died because of artificial starvation in 1932-1934 (Holodomor). Majority of them are Ukrainians. However, Russian Federation refuses to confirm the starvation and FSB agents jail or kill everybody who spreads information about Holodomor. If you are from RF - beware.


Causalities, not casualties. :)


It's not about funny. I have observed it in dogs and young children. It's about taking action in the world and receiving (any) feedback that your actions have an impact. That's the origin of pranks, negging, playing. It's quite an important development step, imho.


Definitely.

But it also means acknowledging later on that it was actually harmful to others.


I was also really good at prank phone calls if you have a handful of therapy words to throw at me over that.
