The visualizer app reminds me of the same UI / output you get from acoustic cameras.

What is that referring to?

Knocking down a building like this will be a huge pain, extremely expensive, and very dangerous. I think you can assume the developers will try desperately to retrofit the building before demo. There’s good precedence for this even in New York City. Look into the Citicorp case study.

Love the ingenuity of the texture DSL. So much variety can be packed into a small footprint.

Deno desktop can use system web view OR embed CEF. Tauri is just system web view.

Iced lattes are a pretty common drink and near ubiquitous menu item.

I also love the transparency and am surprised it hasn’t been used more. Granted, it would be very difficult to achieve with natural materials and also be durable. A flag should be able to withstand an ocean voyage exposed to the elements.

Watching pewd's continually evolving AI-era tech journey has brough me a lot of joy.

100% run through an LLM. Not sure if the author started with a draft or only an outline, but there are multiple instances of stuff like “it’s not just X, it’s Y”.

An interesting late stage capitalism ad hack I’ve seen in cars : OTA digital radio transmits track metadata like artist, title, and album artwork. I’ve seen some stations transmit tiny square ads in place of album artwork, even while the song is playing.

Pretty cool program. Would be slightly annoying if you wanted to get the pass with any regularity, but I love that it’s being offered.

San Diego has SAN Pass, which is essentially the same program with the same rationale for existence.

This is the product they commercialized: https://flipdisc.co/

Last I heard a number of years ago it’s around $2000/sq ft. Around the same price scale as mid range LED wall modules.

It would be nice if you could “see” the AI in your vault making changes. Almost like a Google doc collab session. Even if you weren’t directly interacting with the agent, and it was making change thru a CLI/MCP, its presence would be highlighted in the frontend. And then it appears as its own contributor in the git history.

The clean up prompt needs adjusting. If your transcription is first person and in the voice of talking to an AI assistant, it really wants to “answer” you, completing ignoring its instructions. I fiddled with the prompt but couldn’t figure out how to make it not want to act like an AI assistant.

Nytimes reported that DoW prepped that deal in the background in parallel, as backup for issues with Anthopic. But I agree, optics are terrible.
