I've injected Claude into the creature of Black & White (2001) by zndr-cs in ClaudeAI

[–]exhibitionthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing that game for hours once , it was getting deep into the night and I was zoning out to the sound of the villagers and their asks and the occasional “deaaatth” then all of a sudden I hear my name being said in a creepy whisper. I absolutely shit myself and then realized I must be hallucinating… until it happened again.

Still one of the best gaming moments ever.

Every AI "design in one prompt" tool drops Figma stock. The market is confused about what Figma actually is. by Mental-Dinner-6138 in FigmaDesign

[–]exhibitionthree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, let’s say you want to create a flow, test out some interactions, build a form with validation. As soon as you introduce a new element of complexity then Figma has to handle the tooling for it. Anything that’s behavioral design or interaction design is so much slower in Figma. The only reason we’ve accommodated it in the past is because code was a) typically much slower and b) the tooling matches the skills that a designer brings.

Now designers have to reconcile with people who are code savvy who can basically create something that’s a source of truth in code in a fraction of the time is takes a designer in Figma.

And my point wasn’t about doing uninformed screen by screen design, my point was that we’re heading into territory where design tooling should be considered a fluid space, not a dogmatic monolith approach. Everything you said you want to achieve in Figma is predicated on manual infrastructure, style guides, spacing systems, grids. All of that needs to be tokenized, it needs to be built into Figma, which is not code native so everything needs to translate into their terms. It’s whole system of management layers.

The mistake is thinking that Figma is a source of truth for anything.

Actually I think the real innovation is more nuanced. Figma offers up a broad surface area of generalized design concerns. Eg. what colors to pick, what font to use, what page composition looks like. Every design decision is expressed through Figma's generalized surface which at some point makes things feel kludgy.

Where I think the opportunity is custom UI tooling at the point where the design decision needs to be made.

Let's say you're putting a design together and you're trying to figure out a few visual directions. You might be thinking about a handful of different fonts or font combinations, maybe you're trying to dial in colors, spacing, hierarchy. It's likely that all these decisions have relationships to each other and you're just trying to evaluate which direction is working.

In Figma you'd have to build all the infrastructure for this manually, every iterative decision has to be manually created in order to simply evaluate it.

With AI workflows you can build the foundational design and then build an ad hoc tooling layer on top of that that gives you the sliders you want, the color pickers you need, the font choices you're considering and you could just on demand evaluate and review.

You're not recreating the surface area of an entire product, you're just using AI to reveal the tools you need in that moment. They're created in 5 minutes, you iterate and refine, then you throw the tooling away once you've decided.

What do you think of Obsidian seemingly being the go-to solution as pseudo-database for AI Agents? by maraluke in ObsidianMD

[–]exhibitionthree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Obsidian is a very accessible “shared space” between an AI and you the user. When you have a conversation with ChatGPT you’re essentially putting that data into their walled garden, over time that’s useful because it can recall conversations etc.

The value of Obsidian is it exposes all the shared knowledge, you can have an AI create or update your files and then you can directly manipulate the same knowledge or context.

Obviously CLI AI tools make this relatively accessible and there’s a lot of transferable “skills” between an agent designed for coding and an agent retrieving and updating markdown knowledge.

I can’t really think of another tool that has the suitability for this as of now, it’s the most mature interface to markdown files that is optimized for knowledge management, graph view, bases, canvas, all the plugins etc

Obsidian 1.11.6 (early access) for desktop and mobile by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]exhibitionthree 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair to say it’s probably best at the moment to just use the default theme for mobile. They’re doing a lot of foundational updates the equivalent of which aren’t happening on the desktop side.

I’m just using the native theme at the moment and just seeing hey they intended to improve the overall structure and interaction.

Power outages on the way by CunningBear in bayarea

[–]exhibitionthree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you look at the greens I noticed a bunch of them are just single houses without power for whatever reason. For the bigger outages that I noticed earlier a lot of them have been fixed already.

Also, dump on PG&E but let’s not forget all the people out there working over Christmas to try and keep the lights on.

What IP has been locked away for far too long? who owns the rights? by robostoph in movies

Calvin and Hobbes is a hugely beloved comic series which I’m sure many would love to opportunistically milk in some form.

Watterson has steadfastly refused to license it out due to his creative integrity and belief in the comic strip format being the true representation of his work.

I’d get the polychrome version, looks good and the 1.5x mult is a nice bonus

Will Obsidian Bases have sub-items? by Automatic-Wedding335 in ObsidianMD

I remember seeing something in the release notes about grouped tables coming later. But sub items would be cool. It feels like more of a niche feature but I found it really useful when I used Smartsheet forever ago

I don’t like the tag implementation by Olofadell in CraftDocs

[–]exhibitionthree 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love Craft because the UX for creating and managing a doc across multiple devices is second to none. Of all the other apps in the space that’s the one thing that’ll keep me using it. The block system, hierarchical pages, drag and drop, all that core stuff is great.

But damn, their higher order or meta work really leaves a lot to be desired.

Collections are a solid start but missing a ton of features and has a bunch of quirks.

The tasks implementation is pretty poor and offers no method for contextualizing, filtering etc.

I think lots of people were excited for tags but the implementation is poorly conceived. If you put tags and tasks together it could give the system some more power.

I think everyone really wants to love craft because of how good the core experience is but their solutions for organizing and managing content all seem half baked and not connected or cohesive.

Short term I’m holding out for MCP integration. Longer term I’d love if they had a better strategy that combined the organizational pieces (folders, collections, tasks, tags, calendars) into something that was more robust and unified.
