Great use case. Curious to see how Gemini fares when tested.

Is Gemini CLI not a good agent?

I...didn't know there was a Gemini CLI? I thought it was only antigravity, or hackily plug your API keys into something like Cursor...Thanks! I got to check.

Z-Image seems to be the first successor to Stable Diffusion 1.5 that delivers better quality, capability, and extensibility across the board in an open model that can feasibly run locally. Excitement is high and an ecosystem is forming fast.

Did you forget about SDXL?

Clearly you have, but while on the topic, it is amazing to me that only came out 2.5 years ago.

Before a product can solve a problem, advertising must create the problem.

Those are not your contacts, messages, or information

If we could do it over, knowing that we'd eventually get to this point, would https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets have been the better path?

Probably not. There is a lot of optimizations browsers do to make the stylesheets super fast[1], and I think quite a few of those rely on CSS not being Turing complete.

CSS is Turing complete :-) You can find pure-CSS implementations of Game of Life, for instance.

The implementations I have seen rely on the inclusion of HTML form elements, and a manual step to update the state.

So in that sense CSS + HTML + User Interaction is Turing complete. But that is a different language then CSS, even if a part of that language happens to be written in CSS.

https://propjockey.github.io/css-conways-game-of-life/infini... as an example. No user interaction except to start.

This is impressive. 43000 lines of CSS. Do you know how this works?

EDIT: For the record, while I am very impressed, and this is a wonderful work of art we can all enjoy, I am not convinced this is proof of the Turing completeness of CSS. At most this would prove that CSS + HTML is Turing complete (which still better then CSS + HTML + User instructions in natural language). But I wonder if in these 43000 lines of CSS the entire state space was encoded (with some clever compression obviously), and I am not sure if that would count as proof of Turing completeness.

I haven't looked into it, but most of these tend to do clever tricks with CSS animations. https://dev.to/janeori/expert-css-the-cpu-hack-4ddj is by the same author, IIRC, and explains some of it.

CSS alone is not Turing-complete (AFAIK), because you don't have anywhere to attach state (the computed style) if you don't have a DOM and loops are generally prohibited. But CSS exists literally only to style a DOM, so I don't consider that all that much of a concession.

I would say no. I think CSS is a good language and made good choices.

And honestly we already essentially have this with CSS related apis in js. The examples in that article are basically identical to how you set css in js on modern web browsers with slightly different naming conventions.

If I had a time machine I would go back and ensure that DSSSL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Style_Semantics_and_S...) was the standard that got up.

You write your markup in an xml syntax, your scripts in a C syntax, and your styles in a lisp syntax... a perfect trio.

All hail the embedded Scheme interpreter to apply Style transformations!

Although I feel like we've already explored this with XSL. The XML syntax was perhaps too much to swallow.

Knowing what we know, we would probably have stepped out of our time machine to make sure that Brendan Eich kept the Scheme-based syntax and added semantic HTML enrichment for styling, sparing untold grief over the last generation...

If we could do over, web browsers should have supported two document formats from the beginning - HTML for plain text markup and the preexisting Turing-complete formatting language of either PostScript or encapsulated PostScript.

I actually wonder if transpiling calc/min/max/etc. expressions to JS is a viable path to implementation, considering that you already need a fast interpreter for these.

Spoiler: They did not use real money or perform any actual trades.

This is one of the features of the Harpa.ai extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/harpa-ai-ai-automat...

This seems like good news for The future of Apple. Jony Ive, the AI guy, and this UI guy all seemed net negative to product quality.
