One fun thing to do with Claude is have it draw SVG self-portaits. I was curious – if I had it draw pictures of itself, ChatGPT, and Gemini, would another copy of Claude recognize itself?
TLDR: Yes it totally recognizes itself, but that’s not the whole story...
My team at Sanity has a *very* interesting AI Engineer role open ✨
It's perfect for a creative, product-minded engineer with an interest in LLMs. We have lots of folk from non-traditional backgrounds, so don’t self-select out!

💡 You can use easing functions to change the distribution of Math.random()
With an easing curve visualiser like cubic-bezier.com the majority of values will lie in the "flat" part of the curve.

We can hardly contain our excitement for Astro 4.9:
Render Astro components to a string with the container API. Unit test, render RSS content, slap in a PHP app, and more!
Plus, React 19 action support and stable CSRF protection
