Yesterday evening I made a start on a small refactor to the backend API handling of scopes. It should ultimately result in fine grained access tokens that make a lot more sense than they currently do. Trying to get my head back into typescript after several weeks of quite intense bash and dockerfiles. #

Mostly cleanup tasks today following on from all the recent progress in the dev environment and on the blog. I need to remove all the old projects that got consolidated and I need to check a few things. I noticed this morning that in Feedly the everything RSS feed for the blog wasn’t showing any posts, so there might be something broken there, I need to check all the RSS feeds. #

Dylan Field (CEO Figma) [09:02]: "Is natural language the interface? Yes right now. I‘ve said this before but I really believe it, I think we will look back at this era as the MSDOS era of AI, and the prompting and natural language that everyone is doing today is just the start of how we are going to create interfaces to explore latent space. So I cannot wait for an explosion of creativity there. I think of these models as an N-dimensional compass that lets you explore this wild, unknown, fog of war in latent space and you can push these models in different directions, through natural language, but if you have a more constrained N there, and you are able to dimensionality reduce a bit, so you can push different ways, there should be other interfaces available than text. These might be more intuitive, but they also might be more fun to explore, and I think sometimes constraints unlock creativity in ways people don't expect. So I'm existed for that, but yes right now natural language is where we are at." #
