Hopefully better than prefix/suffix dedupe

Probably not the right name, but if you're trying to compress/deduplicate markdown files but preserve some structure -

OH! I love the JPEG analogy. Also, I hate the "all at once" generation. One of the reasons I'm an agent micromanager, drip feeding prompts!

When D3 was released in February 2011, it transformed how we build data visualizations for the web and ushered in a new age of unbridled creativity in information design, data journalism, and beyond. Today, it remains the backbone of modern, interactive data viz.

Happy 15th birthday, D3 ๐ŸŽ‚

When you mentioned crypto being a potential solution, was that just in terms of verifying the source of a message (e.g. this really came from Alice), or something further?

really interesting, you could agents to talk to other colleagues' agents about work contracts

if everyone has a personal agent, collective action becomes a much less tractable problem. people already have aligned goals; it's the coordination that's tricky. agents can probably help here.

that could have consequences.

It's just a nice place to be. It's not fussy and not screaming at me to check out one more feature or do something. As a result, I actually take notes, and think aloud a little more.

Microsoft AI CEO: 'Most, if not all' white-collar tasks can be replaced by AI within 12-18 months Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's AI chief, says AI can automate white-collar jobs within 12-18 months, as tech reaches human-level performance in tasks.

Back in 2022 Crypto was supposed to replace fiat in 5 years.

That's a good requirement, but, hold-on, how much AI makes it an AI thing? Does tab-completion count?
