AMP, you keep using that word...
i don't think it means what you think it means... 😂

A gut feeling is not the same as expertise. A hunch is not the same as research. Reading a headline is not the same as understanding a concept. But in our rush to make sure everyone has a voice, we’ve confused noise for nuance, volume for value.

sufficient experience and expertise in a specific area is often manifesting as a "gut feeling" or intuition, due to a phenomenon called "pattern recognition"

ask your hospital specialists, and why their training is so goddamn long. their whole purpose is to develop "gut feeling" based on extensive experience

frames

are there any UI libraries for building just the frame UI similar to Frog UI? 

looking to significantly speed up development of frames in Next.js without hooking up the entire dependency stack of hono + frog, just to have base component abstractions

the more I read about the bestiality and ruthlessness of USSR towards Poland during/after WWII, the more I’m convinced that the only good commie is a dead commie

This egg paper has been making all the rounds, to the point I didn't want to talk about it because it wasn't novel enough for me. 

Basically these people discovered that if you use a periodic cooking method, you can cook the yolk and the white differently and it makes the most perfect egg in the world. 

You... 
Heat a pot of water to 100°C (boiling).
Place an egg in boiling water for 2 minutes.
Transfer the egg to 30°C water for 2 minutes.
Repeat this cycle 8 times (total cooking time: 32 minutes).
Crack open the egg and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy yolk and firm albumen.

But I am breaking my silence to say: I don't care how good the eggs are. I am not spending 30 minutes to boil an egg.

can anyone tell me why frame embeds are expected to use a text/plain response with embedded JSON data inside HTML meta, instead of a simple application/json response with the same JSON data?

you don't need cognitive psychology or to read Kahneman to build great UX (although both help!)

what you need is humility to ask "why would a random person from halfway round the world put up with all this shit we built?"

now you're on the path to understanding great UX

For the record chat gpt will happily list every US atrocity in history and explain Tiananmen. If deep seek will do one but not the other, you should be careful about any information it gives you. 

That said I’ll still be using it and I still think it’s a good thing.

What the release of DeepSeek might do in the long run, is force companies to open source their models, and this means the best trained model will eventually win.🤞
