Figma acting like a synthesizer company in 1984 that only wants their MIDI implementation to work with those from companies they preapprove, then acting surprised when the ecosystem proves to be bigger than any single product.

Replying to @GayaniFigma
Hey @GayaniFigma , I think in spirit, when I created MCP, I envisioned an open ecosystem. That to me feels core. Seeing restrictions like this is sad and I hope Figma can get to a point where it’s more open or at least make the process of getting into the allowlist very easy.

The whole "agents can port code now" thing is cool. Let's see them maintain all the resulting ports in sync afterwards.

Don't entirely agree with Andreas in his ongoing threads, but he has lately been thinking a lot further ahead than most on open source processes, security etc. and what all that will look like. The part being glossed over here is how users will know which projects can be trusted.

Zoomers who grew up in the GitHub era keep telling me that closing PRs means projects are no longer open source. Obviously, all the requirements for open source still apply. Public code intake was never part of the definition; it was just a popular contribution model for a time.

Quoting from the report; 'Robots and LLMs together expose all but one-fifth of employment.'

The big mistake with agents today is they increase communication overhead and noise. Every additional agent makes it exponentially worse. Co-ordination via chatroom simply doesn't scale up, whether with humans or machines, let alone both.

really don't see the appeal to "vibe coding" a game... you don't learn how anything works or get hands on experience building something, you get a sub par result & can't take credit for it. why is it always about skipping the important steps just to get validation from strangers

Increasingly convinced there's going to be a real market for "LLM adjacent models" (which may or may not be ML based) that the LLM can then use to conduct experiments and perform reasoning.

Latest gen LLMs clearly see the browser, when in Playwright etc., as such a tool, and I believe this accounts for part of their hugely improved ability to one shot three.js games, while simultaneously struggling with absolutely junior problems in other domains.

Obviously such a market will have to contend with the idea that LLMs could be used to develop such tool models on demand as well.

Obviously this is . . . debatable, given a few hours ago this didn't exist, but this opens so many possibilities for exploration.

While in the planning stage it even had a discussion with me about how "emergent properties won't match empirically observed phenomena from the literature, so which is it you want it to do?" with the real answer being to find those differences and work out where the truth is.

So one of the things it has cranked out this evening is an interactive model of a subset of the human endocrine system.

Timely reminder: prompt with ever more unreasonably high expectations because it works a scarily large amount of the time and when it does the payoff is enormous. If all you ask for is piecemeal then that is what you get.

It performed two tasks I expected to take months while I ate dinner. It screwed up a third, which was by far the simplest. It takes longer for you to wonder about why this is than to try it and see.

When frontier labs talk of “aligning” models, ask: to what? If they say values, ask: whose? If it’s theirs rather than the user’s: why?

"Guess the shopping" adapted could be a sensation in Canada, especially if it turned out the prices were suspiciously similar between supermarkets or included the prices of various online subscriptions.

v1.0.1 of CZP-1 is out, mainly to fix a rather annoying iOS specific bug that made editing get confused with scrolling. crazyphase.com/czp-1/

Big thanks to everyone that's tried the phase distortion synth (over a thousand and counting) and for the amazingly positive feedback, especially about the Boards of Casio. More to come! ambionix.com/blog/introducin…
