paco @pa.co · 17/03/2026yes, but more looking for entire systems trained to generate currently nonexistent ideas I guess the problem is having a well enough defined space for "good" answers to validate the outputs. 000
paco @pa.co · 17/03/2026big part of games being more immersive and enjoyable software experiences is their considerate handling of user inputs continuous spectrum of reaction — not individual events 030
paco @pa.co · 08/03/2026are there any models that encourage hallucinations? i.e. non-existent but plausible ideas nearby in idea space? 150
paco @pa.co · 15/02/2026my defense against AI attacks on my open source software is to simply not work on my open source software 140
paco @pa.co · 15/02/2026i don't mean Web features either (i.e. additions to HTML/CSS/JS) but capability related to webpages – archiving, extracting assets, modifying and creating, etc arguably adding more Web features is "bad" because it continues to herd users into the same few browsers that support the huge complexity 110
paco @pa.co · 14/02/2026the problem is they stopped innovating on features for the Web. so there's room for improved interfaces on browser (User-Agent) capabilities across the internet. gotta build a browser 130
paco @pa.co · 14/02/2026that's like runtime config. where and in what environment the program runs affects its behavior 000
Reposted by pacopaco @pa.co · 09/05/2023the human genome is a 3.2 billion line assembly file half of it is deprecated methods a third is malicious Russian code and it’s the most efficient program of all time 172
paco @pa.co · 13/02/2026yes, the "non-coding" parts (the "junk" 98%) which actually is probably doing stuff we just don't understand yet it's calling a code path that was deprecated 2 billion years ago and only on IE4 so we haven't debugged its purpose / how it interacts with our system 100
paco @pa.co · 25/01/2026related ideas here, how to store personal data for decades and make it interoperable across apps? also first time I've seen RDF mentioned publicly in yearsoverreacted.ioA Social Filesystem — overreactedFormats over apps. 020
paco @pa.co · 22/01/2026awesome congrats styfle!! whats the proposal? didn't realize you were getting in on standards work 120
paco @pa.co · 12/01/2026the death of the LAN is exaggerated online and offline meet at different points 031

paco @pa.co · 02/01/2026focusing on this visual "shape of text" also removes /some/ dependency on actual written language and its length, so you design more generically with semantic hierarchy (how big are things compared to other things) and can internationalize more easily 121
paco @pa.co · 02/01/2026good typographers use additional tools like line length, hyphenation, and custom line break opportunities to fine tune and enhance the "shape of text" 120
paco @pa.co · 02/01/2026a lot of design is typography. without even considering the content, pay attention to the visual space that type occupies and how it relates to elements around it 1181
paco @pa.co · 28/10/2025crazy that storing a piece of data that needs to be accessible from multiple sources is incredibly hard at scale it means caching, which means latency and stale data, which means coordination and resolution it becomes a time problem 060
paco @pa.co · 20/10/2025it's great to see that design engineering is a mix of both sides; many started programming websites and appealed to the intricacy of visual interfaces; others start from art and graphic design; we meet the web as a medium of expression 0100
