There is a reasonable argument that there won’t be many new languages now that models are sufficiently trained. If anything, we may see languages optimized for models and not humans.

Same for me and a particular North Face light jacket. I’ve purchased the same model about 5 times, with noticeably lower quality materials in the more recent years. Faster wear, quicker fading colors, thinner.

I too miss the days of phpBB an IPB forums. Circle.so has come the closest to replicating some of that interface / vibe, but as expected, their pricing has crept up beyond a reasonable point for small projects / communities. The answer seems to be something self hosted.

Just remember, you can continue to do artisanal programming as a hobby or for your own projects. But if you have an employer, they're paying you for functional and secure features, not lines of code.

A simple explanation of what this does, shown somewhere on the page, would go a long way.

Beta.weather.gov 1 year ago

The water.noaa.gov redesign (the last 2-3 years) is considerably less usable on mobile. The old site was old, sure, but they were too interested in making it look and feel new, that they didn't prioritize the basic functionality.

I'm sure the team is well-intentioned, but it should have been done more thoughtfully.

That is being done as a stop gap until official servers are released. Ideally you are writing a server for your own product/service, or custom local work.

i.e. I wrote a server for water.gov to pull the river height prediction nearby for the next 24hr. This helps the campground welcome message writing tool craft a better welcome message.

Sure that could be a plain tool call, but why not make it portable into any AI service.
