Knowing how South Africa operates, you could see a rapid acceleration in solar deployment in both the cities and townships for similar but distinct reasons; one’s fear of reliance on the other. Distributed solar is a real time weapon against energy poverty. @ColumbiaUEnergy

@eugenewei I first learnt about the concept of "cultural determinism" from your 2020 essay on TikTok. I was wondering if you could point to any good writing on it as a concept if possible please?

@themmmoussa @tarteelAI I'm speaking as a total non-dev here, so forgive me.
But perhaps we could create an open source dataset of the 13 line script that can then be used by other apps?
I'd happily plug away as a mechanical turk on this

@themmmoussa @tarteelAI Super interesting, would love to read the blog post.
For those of us patiently waiting for the 13 line Indo-Pak script, I imagine that a ton of work needs to go into a new script.
Is there a world in which we could crowdsource this work?

The Quran is at the heart of @tarteelAI, but most people don’t appreciate the complexity of how we render it. With dynamic styling down to the letter, touch interactions, and animations, our approach is the most advanced I’ve ever seen.
In our latest update it's also 90% faster!

@kepano Any thoughts on vibe coding plug-ins in a safe way for us non-devs that want to experiment?

@tarteelAI Salaams. Feature request please : 13 line indopak Mushaf. Would happily go premium for this

@kepano Having some issues getting it to work. I'll figure out where to file a bug report.
Great Initiative though!

So much of my research process takes place in the browser, but browsers are designed for reading/viewing more than writing/thinking.
Web Clipper has radically improved how I think because it makes it easier to reference and expand on world knowledge within my notes.

@MichelleAkin Specific questions also great, eg "What did X get up today? Did they make any jokes again today?"

@NakedCover_SA hey guys your app is not working. See attached screenshot please. I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
What do I do next? Seems like there is no other way for me to add more items to insure.

Nearing approvals for a piece of our Townsend project, an infill, mixed-use neighborhood.
Has been quite the journey! Will be our 4th submission.
You can see the complexity in the site plan. We are shaping space with buildings, and it’s as nuanced as an interior floor plan.

People managing multiple gmail accounts, what do you do on desktop?

@daylightco Thanks! So essentially the writing experience is the same as the remarkable? And I get you get OCR through whichever app (e.g Obsidian)?

remarkable vs. daylight

@daylightco How’s this different than reMarkable?

@aaliahmahomed Next step is an appreciation of all the variations of onions

This is such a sobering read. Not because of the Zuma stuff (that too) but because it's a reminder of the high costs of freedom

The replies / quotes on this is why the Internet was invented

there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
