I can't understand these people: He did a literal nazi salute at the inauguration, what other interpretation can there be?

For those quoting Elon at me, saying that Tesla's cars are operating at higher than level 2 automation:
1. Not according to government regulation
2. I don't typically take the words of literal Nazis seriously

:youtube_logo: New video: The 0rwx framework.

A simple video today, my attempt to name the steps between hand-made and vibe-coded so we can all have a more nuanced conversation about #AI 😃

This is really great: a simple autoreloading webserver for local html development, regardless of framework.

I wouldn't tell anyone I won the lottery, but there would be hints.

Ran "Strahd Dies TONIGHT!" as a halloween 1-shot for Halloween this year. It was really fun speedrunning this classic D&D castle!
However:

I didn't notice until playing that in generating the hand drawn style I wanted, the LLM had also added modern doors (blue) and a built in IKEA kitchenette (pink). 😡

My fault, I don't know what I was thinking, I'm just gonna draw maps as we go next time. 1000% better experience.

🎉 SO excited to finally share season 4 with you all! It was very fun to write, and Wolfie added some delightful occult details last-minute during recording as usual!

If you're not caught up, THAT DOESN'T MATTER! I write each season and even episode fairly stand-alone, because most of the recordings are simply descriptions of two rather strange pieces of art...
