Sad news :(

Zeldman was one of my heroes in the 00s. I would argue that the list could also include Eric Meyer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_A._Meyer).

Still use Eric's CSS Reset 2.0 till this day. Have never found anything quite as simple and to the point.

Had they been more more optimistic they would have called it MIDAS.

Someone already bagsied that acronym in particle physics.

Honest.

That’s a very interesting thought. Presumably stuff like CRISPR will make our meat code open source and we’ll be able to deploy hot fixes ourselves.

In your future children, maybe. Chasing down and editing the DNA of live somatic cells in a meaningful way is basically impossible.

I always assumed that it was something to do with people getting increasingly frustrated with the struggle of keeping up with stuff.

Chronic pain probably plays a part too. I know I get grumpy and miserable when I'm unwell or in pain.

I've attributed that to a decreased ability to deal with novel situations as we age. E.g. the world behaved differently than I was expecting.

One thing it's definitely possible and important to intentionally keep exposing oneself to!

I am definitely grumpy. What makes me grumpy is the fact that society keeps banging its head against a wall for no good reason.

There is everything there for growth, and yet I see none. I get very tired of knowing well what the boring, selfish reaction of the person I encounter is going to be. I am sure I do the same thing - and don't change much compared to what is available to me to make changes. I do not lead by example at all the way I would like.

Nonetheless, what makes me grumpy is lack of change, not the superficial appearance of change with which technology distracts us. Moral growth would be so refreshing to see, but I see none of it - despite virtue signalling as a veneer from all parts of society.

Said more colloquially, a lot of older people just grow tired of all our bulls*t.

But all the objective bullshit still existed when we were younger! And it didn't bother us as much then.

I was much less aware of it when I was younger. Ignorance is bliss.

Spot on. People learn to recognize it from miles ahead and in now what's up.

That's so cool, thanks for sharing this. I managed to do all of them, in the impossible one I identified correctly the area, but couldn't pinpoint the difference.

I should have waited to buy the 400 a few months ago.

I love it, I wonder if LLMs couldn't be used to generate some pictures.

Think you are being downvoted because technically an LLM stands for Large Language Models, while image generation is something like LDM latent diffusion models or most people just say Stable Diffusion. If you would have said the more generic ChatGPT then the answer would have been maybe since its supposed to be Multi-Modal. If you are asking if Stable Diffusion could generate pictures based of the article description the answer is most likely yes given the prompt correctly parses the context correctly (maybe using an LLM for getting the prompt before feeding into the next tool).

I hear almost everyone call everything ChatGPT no matter what they are using (MS, Google Gemini, Ollama, etc…) ChatGPT made me a PP, ChatGPT made this image, so maybe if you want a general term ChatGPT would be more correct. I typically say ChatGPT for LLMs and Stable Diffusion when talking to normal people since most are familiar with the big two. Predicting the next pixel to draw is sorta like predicting the next word (token) I guess

Most people know what you mean, but still good to use the correct term. Disclaimer so I do not get downvoted with you: Please do your own research as I just wrote how I understand these concepts and am not an expert.

It's funny because LLMs are now also using diffusion.

LLMs cannot generate pictures

This stuff will never not blow my mind.
