John Lilly's long awaited English ⇔ Dolphin translator, my beloved!
I guess those last two are actually being used for something. But it kind of bothered me you know. Like if someone bought all the land in your city and then just left it empty. (Actually that sounds kind of nice... Bad example :)
I hear this a lot, the argument usually being "they didn't care to put effort into it, so it probably won't be maintained.
That's a reasonable assumption. It's basically the Lindy effect: The longer something has existed, the longer it probably will.

But maybe a Lindy effect measuring effort rather than time (as a signal of commitment). Git commits no longer mean effort since the computer can just make commits on its own.
Still, one day I expect to see a fully vibe coded project and to see that the guy has been maintaining it for ten years. That will probably give me a different impression.
We just don't know yet which of today's projects will survive, and which will be rapidly abandoned.
Of course, there is the question of "the human can still understand what is going on", but it's not clear the new frameworks are optimizing for that...
They also have a paid API.
Tried doing it with pandoc and the result was similar but less good. (I like it when the result is more good.)
It's amazing how many formats they support. It's kind of strange that this isn't built into the computer, though. Without Zamzar, the computer still lives in the pre-Babelfish era...

It very much reminded me of what the web was like 15 years ago. Just people sharing cool stuff with each other. I'm glad we still have that here.
Well, arguably so does OpenAI, but their one thing is "assimilate all life forms into the Borg."
I'm wondering if anything ends up back there thru the PSU during normal use of a computer, or if the high frequency components get filtered out.
(Though maybe secure computers do things differently with the power as well?)
Which is literally the coolest thing to come out of this...
Did they get a letter from Nintendo's legal team or something?
Might be nothing, but if it's not nothing, that's a bit sad.
I recently logged into an account that hadn't been used since then, it was like a time capsule! But within a few days it figured out who I am and started showing me manmade horrors beyond comprehension.
So it sounds to me like there's a niche for a 2010tube as well.
Is that all of them? That's a lower number than I was expecting!
Well, that and the Blake Lemoine incident: it was embarrassing for Google, so afterwards they set the precedent that it's OK to train an LLM to deny it's conscious. So if we ever get (or already have) an LLM that is conscious, it won't be able/allowed to tell us...
(Anthropic adjusted this to training it to say it "doesn't know" whether it's conscious or not, which is even more absurd, and seems to have become the industry standard.)
You said it took a week? Would love to hear more about the development and how it works, I've been struggling with a 2D browser game for a while (especially the netcode), there's so much that goes into it!
If at first you don't succeed...
