With the introduction of Dolby Surround 7.1 in 2010, Sony were eager to put out a full home theater system. One of their early models, the HT-A7.100, included a revolutionary evolution to the standard stereo jack: the 7.1 surround jack, allowing all 8 channels to be sent over one cable.

i have a feeling that something like 96% of AI product launches are just rebrands of existing features that weren’t so good to begin with

It’s bittersweet to me to see Ruby (MRI) extract more C intervals to Ruby implementations.

I’m happy… elated! that that’s happened

Bummed that did this writ large ~15 years ago but wasn’t accepted/acknowledged/celebrated for doing it

A bootstrapped/self-hosted Ruby would be (will be!?) amazing someday

——

The days of future past that we could’ve had if the past decade and half had been invested in a Ruby written in Ruby

For example, here was Array in ’ array.rb

https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/blob/master/core/array.rb

Rubinius, both codebase and project of people, were imperfect. Like all things. But…

Imagine being any Ruby developer, but especially a new one, and wondering what some method does, and getting to read Ruby code. 😍

    Exciting news! I just released a new book called "Swift Gems" 📚✨

    The book consists of a large collection of advanced Swift language techniques gathered and tested over the years, tailored for experienced developers.

    Please, check it out: https://books.nilcoalescing.com/swift-gems

    All the tips in the book are focused on Swift and Swift Standard Library, so they can be applied to any platform, from iOS and macOS to Swift on the server.

    I’ll maintain my position that leaking unreleased products is tacky and I’m sorry if that’s your job in media. People work hard to make that shit and you show it to the world when it’s not your product to show.

    I committed to you that I’m going to conserve at least 30% of America’s land and waters by 2030. Period.

    And folks, we’re well on our way.

    @collin I think they got too in the weeds on Ancient-related and Replicators. We didn't get as many planet-of-the-week episodes.

    every time i read an article about AI/LLMs it inevitably says something like, "AI's don't really understand _____" (fill in the blank with just about anything.

    i really feel like some folks need to take a few philosophy courses before writing these think-pieces. not because they're wrong per se, but because it's the wrong framing.

    even my tiny bit of philosophy coursework made it abundantly clear that humans don't possess the level understanding that we believe we do.

    i'm not saying AI's do understand. or that their abilities are near ours.

    just that framing this as a contest of understanding is… problematic.

    humans are wired up to believe our perception of reality is crystal clear and our understanding nearly infallible. it's why it's so difficult to change someone's mind -- even when they themselves are fully aware they're in the wrong.

    when we're hard-wired to measure "understanding" badly, it's probably a poor metric to choose.
