It's far far too idealistic and honestly someone as intelligent as Demis should know better. "I know!" says the standards body. "let's just tell everyone to slow down and do this responsibly!" "but sir, what about China? I don't think they'll slow down" "nonsense. If we ask really really nicely I'm sure they'll sign up to be regulated by us!"

This has all the good intentions but it's not addressing any of the possible drawbacks For example, what if the "Standards Body" has bad actors? who decides who's in the "Standards Body"? The biggest, real life example is the European Union, a lot of standards, a lot of bureaucracy, a lot of good intentions - a lot of bad actors! Additionally, there's going to be corruption in setting up the evals, all labs will have interest in evals that favor their models or keeping other models/labs from achieving a certain threshold before they do. The fear for AGI, which may or may not come, is going to halt progress - just like people have done with nuclear power across the entire western world for decades. Now, considering these new regulations, if there are external models - more powerful - can you have access to them? Will they be banned? And if so, how? Internet control? There are many questions like this when it comes to regulations, even if it's good intention.

Introducing Kids Paint Studio, brought to you by Buffering Studios, Inc. 7 (and counting) massive, entirely offline coloring catalogs for kids. No in-app purchases, no ads, no accounts, and absolutely *zero* data ever captured or recorded (not even Sentry/Bugsnag/Posthog analytics). There is no backend API. You buy it once, download the entire catalog and own it forever. --- This started with my kid coming to me every 5 minutes to clear an in-app purchase screen after clicking an ad intentionally designed to look exactly like the coloring app he was using. So I decided to build him something that didn't suck or try to monetize his little creative brain for "one-more-sale" Turned out he liked it. A lot. Like a lot a lot. And I liked it a lot a lot because I could trust it. So we kept going. My wife and I experimented with collections built around his favorite stuff. We figured AI could help us generate images and learnable information for an app we could trust. An app that tried its hardest to keep him inside it, with no deceptive in-app purchases or external links. It was tough. AI is not good at consistent image gen. After plenty of trial and error, we dialed it in for about 90% of the content. For the other 10%, I built per-catalog debug controls so we could review everything between the daily bottles, activities, and meltdowns. Funny side story: most of my wife’s animal-catalog reviews asked AI to change several scenes where the animal's "private parts" were really in focus. Nature is fine... GOOD, even.. and those parts exist. But AI's choice to randomly put them on such display was kind of bizarre. The funniest part? AI refused to make her changes because her requests included words like (change the pose to hide the) "penis". Instead it just noped out and refused to make any edits But I digress… The next big hurdle was the app stores. The apps were ready in early June, but we're still fighting to get them all approved. The App Store and Google Play keep rejecting our catalog builds as "spam" because each app uses the same driver code. Meanwhile, the current garbage kids apps littered with ads and in-app purchases are totally fine. Okay, sure. I understand what they’re saying. The app engine is the same. But the engine isn’t the product! It’s also not where the time, blood, sweat, and tears went. That’s in the catalogs: their pictures, information, organization, and the work required to make everything informative, educational, appropriate and not obscene. Every time I've pushed back, we've received another rejection. The repeated recommendation is to consolidate everything into one app and sell the additional collections through in-app purchases. But we're not going to do that because that's exactly one of the issues we’re trying to solve for. Or maybe they do realize it and that model isn't nearly as profitable. Maybe that's the actual beast we’re fighting when trying to build child-friendly apps that aren't dopamine-sucking slot machines. Something something show me the incentive and I'll show you the behavior. I don't know, draw your own conclusions So, while we originally planned to release every catalog at once, it looks like we’re starting with two: Bible and Heavy Equipment Bible will forever be free. It's a trust piece that lets parents try the experience. It shows you exactly what you'll get from every app we build. And if you don’t believe me, just ask Google Play or the App Store. They’ve made it very clear the engine is the same Since this whole ordeal started, we've had some really cool early-education ideas if we can get traction. Not the normal "replace me and teach my kid because I’m busy" tools, we want to build "we're actively teaching our kids and could maybe use software to help us" tools Hoping we can get approved and release the other catalogs soon! LIKES, RETWEETS AND TELLING YOUR PARENT FRIENDS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Godspeed, fellow parent soldiers

@htmx_org @Hacksore Y'all ever have a monitor that advertised its low radiation output as a selling point?

@Hacksore bro

@ptr_to_joel Turso is literal alien technology

probs two more days on my sqlite readings then maybe time to also check out turso by the weekend

@WarrenInTheBuff This is really good stuff sir, well done!

@WarrenInTheBuff when translated to Australian this reads: "See you all Thursday"

See you all Wednesday

@htmx_org What does wood have to do with a graph sorry???

@ComputerGoBrr * log scale, btw

@Dexerto I think you mean red meat advocate Sam Neill

Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has died at the age of 78

The annual @BigSkyDevCon migration is underway

@WarrenInTheBuff @grepmoney Wait you're supposed to read your slop prs?

@justalexoki The downside is that your gut microbiome takes a decent hit

it's actually insane how this is just free pleasure with no downsides at all

@SethiLiam What part are you most excited about??? For me it's going to be awesome to be able to use htmx on the go and no longer be chained to my fiber connection

@ComputerGoBrr finally, been waiting for this

htmx four is nearly here!

@thsottiaux This is the smallest issue with the desktop app. After opening a new chat I'm pretty sure the three boxes/cards that load below the input are blocking the main thread. Always hit a few seconds of lag.. Typing, waiting for boxes to load, text shows in input.

At different times you complained about speed, code slop, frontend quality, ... With each release we improve and GPT 5.6 Sol is ✅Fast and token efficient ✅Hardcore at back-end dev ✅Great at front-end ✅Does not use useEffect everywhere What is next?

@htmx_org @WarrenInTheBuff Sometimes it's good to settle

not a scout guy but that's a great paint job appreciate that they are doing something interesting

@justalexoki He's back taoki's back, rejoice

suckin on titties is already insane as it is i can't believe they buffed it with like the best drink you can possibly imagine

@tekbog Alien technology

this was not possible before AI

@ptr_to_joel In my line of work we send grads to the .net mvc github copilot mines. There are no winners. Only those who survive and those who don't.

we used to send cs students to the java 8 mines now we send cs students to the codex prompting java 8 mines
