looks like yaml with extra steps

Looks almost like JSON5, which is the take on this that actually saw adoption. That's the direct competitor to this, and for me personally it's CUE, which none of these "yaml with extra steps" will ever match

Better than Palantir.


Doesn't need to be a choice.

And how much better than palantir given that musk is a bigot, attempts to buy elections for fascists, meddles in foreign democracies to push far right extremist narratives, used his wealth to steal very sensitive data from government agencies, does Nazi salutes, trains his LLM to be racist...


Its a bit tiring to be virtue signalling all the time.

> bigot

> fascist

> far right extremist

> nazi

> racist

(just pulled a few words from your small comment)


Is it virtual signaling when Americans are getting sent to concentration camps and executed by the federal government?


Complaining about signaling virtue is just a pattern for signaling vice.


I mean, in the case of Elon all of those labels are applicable.

It’s not virtue signaling to say the guy throwing around nazi salutes is in fact a nazi.


yeah even if i believe this were the case, i would never form a sentence like that juggling all known slurs used for right wing people.


Not slurs, facts. Something you right wing folks struggle with.


Haha so calling out actual racists and Nazis is now considered virtue signalling?

Good one

I think it's funny that humans think humans are uniquely advanced. The brain thinks the brain is the most awesome machine in the universe :-)


So, yaml with squiggles. Roger roger.


JSON sans commas, but with extra strings.


I heard the Critical Drinker's voice while reading that.


I lost the use of my right hand in '06.

It's amazing how quickly you adapt. I have to put my mouse to the left of my keyboard and whereas before I was a touch typist, I now have to look.

And I can use a standard keyboard without undue hassle.


Yes, having a special keyboard can be limiting in that it’s a pain to cart around to hook up to laptops, etc. and to get an extra in case it fails.

It still could be nice to have something optimized, though. If you ever design one, please share it, because I think you’d get more interest than you’d think.

I began to have interest in developing for everyone (primarily for differences for vision, though difference in hearing, memory, learning also) about 13 years ago, and got little support from the small company I worked for. We had a very color-specific interface, because we were space-limited. Then, wouldn’t you know it, our next manager was red-green colorblind, but it didn’t bother her.

I got jaded about it, learning that basically no one cared enough, and that people just get ignored and struggle with their adaptive devices. This still pisses me off, and I was once thinking heavily about applying a job where I could do something about it, but I don’t have the required background.

With AI, there’s beginning to be almost no excuse for someone not to add first-class support for all types of people into their interfaces and process, but people still continue to design like everyone is a twenty-something y.o. with full hearing, 20/15 full color vision, 130 IQ average, and no memory or learning differences or other modalities.


I get that a submarine can't swim.

I'm just not so sure of importance of the difference between swimming and whatever the word for how a submarine moves is.

If it looks like thinking and quacks like thinking...

You require something the bot won't have that a human would.

Anybody may watch the demo screen of an arcade game for free, but you have to insert a quarter to play — and you can have even greater access with a key.

> and you’ve explicitly left a sign saying ‘you are not welcome here’

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people Need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat And I went in to ask him why He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man I think you'll do" So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that Huh, me workin' for you"


> You require something the bot won't have that a human would.

Is this why the “open web” is showing me a captcha or two, along with their cookie banner and newsletter pop up these days?


Up until people started making a big stink about CAPTCHAs being used for unpaid labor at scale, uh, well they had two purposes.
