Text representations of posts in Artemis

One feature I am working on is being able to follow Mastodon feeds via ActivityPub in Artemis 1. I am working on this because there are a few low-volume accounts whose content I would like to see in my reader. In doing so, I have been asking myself the question: how do I wan...

The bookmark

This week my edition of the good internet magazine arrived, a fantastic web-focused print publication. I am delighted to hold stories of the web in my hands; this web we weave is real. The edition has been sitting on my coffee table since it arrived, enticing me with stories ...

I’m trying to help a client pick a good UI framework they can start their product with, but ultimately grow into their own design system and component library. They have started development with React, which isn’t surprising, but they are also open to using a more framework-agnostic approach in the future.

Any suggestions for a really mature and solid, themeable framework as a starting point? Chakra UI? Ark UI? Radix?

“I don’t think there’s anything in principle, that stops machines from being conscious. […] I don’t see why they shouldn’t have emotions. […]
I think they really are thinking. And I think as soon as you make AI agents, they will have concerns.”

A wild interview with Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize winner and “the Godfather of AI”, especially towards the end…

A gate can be really useful for live sound (e.g. when you’re doing a live stream) to cut out unwanted background noise or hum with low latency when you're not speaking. Boz Digital’s “Big Beautiful Door 2” even combines this with a four-band EQ for the closed and open sections and is currently on sale ($49 - 50% with BOZ-JULY-4). I just couldn’t resist… 😅

Evening

Looking around in thought, I notice one of the trees outside is swaying from the wind. It has been a bit cooler in the latter half of the week — most welcome after the warm weather of late. There are a few raindrops on the window from when the rain was falling earlier, but ar...

Keyboards and mice

My wrists have been a bit tense lately so I have decided to try to use my desk more. I had grown comfortable sitting in my armchair using my computer but, if I am to be using my computer several hours per day, perhaps I need a more ergonomic setup. This week I have changed t...

Notes from the world, part two

When I am out and about, I like to take notes when something makes me wonder, smile, or otherwise makes me think. Here are a few notes I have taken over the last few weeks. “How did you find out about us?”; “the internet,” I say. The clerk responds, playfully, “sometimes it...

Big Beautiful Cache.

Ok, I’ll stop it now.

Oh wait, what’s that?

/Users/matthiasott/Library/Caches/Adobe/AfterEffects is taking up how much space?

317G?!? 😅
