🕹️ Is this the smallest language model in the world? I just managed to squeeze JAM, real artificial intelligence into 30 kilobytes, running on a 1979 Atari 800. Just A Model. Fully generative, deterministic language model, powered by a neural network and built to run on 8‑bit hardware. Atari Forever.

@ServList_Hytale Never worked for a datacenter but have spent many late hours inside one working on my servers and UT 2004 sure looked like fun.

@njrabit Doesn't sound like very challenging work to help you grow your career and reap actual satisfaction long term, but yeah I've been in jobs like that I get it. Get's old quick.

Seventy-five people were arrested after Saturday’s “No Kings” protest in downtown Los Angeles when tensions escalated near the Metropolitan Detention Center, according to the LAPD. ktla.com/news/local-new…

@ElSethero @KTLA You love $100+ million dollars of our taxpaying money going to let a degenerate child rapist go golfing cuz you love being treated like the cuck and a bitch. To you, that's an honor.

@wedell_lonny @KTLA Truth hurts, but then you dead and God sends you down to hell for posing as a Christian while being the disease. Hehe

@ElSethero @KTLA You don't catch "TDS" - it's a thing you are your entire life. You either hate child rapists or you are one.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

🚨SOMEONE REINVENTED HOW TEXT RENDERS ON THE WEB AND ITS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
the goated dev behind react, reasonML, and midjourney’s frontend, just dropped Pretext. a tiny typescript library that measures and lays out text 500x faster than the DOM.
he trained models against real browser rendering for weeks until the output matched safari, chrome, and firefox exactly.
the demos are insane!! hundreds of thousands of text boxes at 120fps. magazine layouts and chat bubbles that actually wrap right.
engineers from Vercel, Remix, Figma, and shadcn all cosigned. this is the kind of open source that makes you want to be a better dev.
here are some cool demos in the past 24hrs👇

Well this is just downright intriguing.
VitruvianOS. Linux kernel with a BeOS / Haiku API compatibility layer. And its own display server (not X11 or Wayland).
They just made their first real release (0.3)… and, judging by the issues on GitHub… it’s very, very Alpha.
But this is unique enough that it’s worth a look.
From the developers:
“What we’ve created isn’t just a BeOS-compatible desktop—it’s an entirely different approach to what a Linux desktop could be.
Decades of desktop OS development have been constrained by the X server model and later by Wayland. But what if you could do something different?”
