enthusiast teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s

quote [ While there are a lot of caveats and limitations there, the fact that you could set up a speaker in your yard and conceivably store any amount of data in song birds is crazy. ]

This is about bits, not about IP over Avian Carriers. It's kind of about tunes in memory though.

CSS Terrain Generator

quote [ Inspectable spikes, wedges, ramps and flats are stitched together into a voxel landscape. ]

A great little playfield that ? while rendering the terrain in CSS ? uses some Javascript to enable interaction (unlike CSS Minecraft).
Also note how the page uses #anchors to save generator seeds ? this is cool insofar, as anchors are only processed by the browser and invisible to the server, so less load and tracking.

Washington city officials are using ChatGPT for government work

quote [ ?How do I export my ChatGPT history??
[?]
Bellingham and Everett are the main focus of this story not because they?re outliers, but because they were the fastest and most comprehensive in their responses. ]

So you can obtain public records on AI usage. It turns out how you'd expect it.

Porffor

[?]
Imagine writing a CLI app in JS and compiling it to a one-click executable under 1MB! ]

Very techy but possibly the future?? of Javascript helpers. It allows for easy cross-platform usage via WASM and using light helpers in workflows without the bootup penalty for script interpreters (Node, Deno, Python, PHP ?) or version juggling.

You have to have a reason to work with Javascript though .. fast HTML parsers come to my mind. Also, the absence of a branded logo is always a good sign. diary/Mastodon
