It took two days and 50% of my Codex Plus week limit, so around 3$. Finally I can play the game on multiplayer again next evening!

Absolutely, the Win32-WASM layer it wrote is some of the most evil looking code I have seen in my life. But realistically, why keep it maintainable for humans if you won't find anybody that can work on it without AI anyways? If we huma

I just asked Astra to bring an old Windows XP game to the browser. It objdump'ed the whole thing, built a fitting Win32-like wrapper that exposes required functionality like DirectDraw, DirectSound, SEH etc., then wrote an x86-32/

Wow, that was a grim read. Way darker than the movie.

And what is the good old autocomplete feature? Do you attribute it authorship, too? Is a series of matrix multiplications on a token vector not a mechanical transformation? Where is the point where you start to anthropomorphize it?

In my last project I wrote most stuff by hand but also used various Anthropic models, Gemini something and GLM 5.2. By line count the #1 was probably the IDE autocomplete though mostly for boring field initializations and the likes. The &qu

It has strong "Sent from my iPhone" vibes. I use many tools to develop software and if my IDE would silently start adding "This commit was created with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate" I'd find it intrusive and obnoxious, to

It is an indicator of low effort. If you didn't even spend a minute writing a couple sentences about your own project, how much effort did you put into actually building and testing it? Or are you just letting others do the hard parts:

CAMM2 is really just two DIMM sticks in one; you can even buy adapters where you plug in two SO-DIMM modules and get one CAMM2 (and there are also adapters for SO-DIMM to DIMM). Yes CAMM2 allows for faster and better signaling but it is ent

CAMM2 vs DIMM vs SODIMM is just packaging, the silicon chips are the same. As long as the silicon stays unaffordable the rest doesn't really matter.

Just changing the SSH port is probably enough for small VPS. Port 22 is getting perma-DDOSed on public IPv4 addresses so use it at your own peril but at least for now most bots don't bother port scanning everyone.

Then the solution could be just like the solution to tobacco addiction: tax social media companies HARD, tax all advertising on social media 10x, 20x, or ban advertising on/for social media outright, ban advertising of kids products, b

Just yet another (not very well done) XP lookalike SPA... Since Microsoft has become a proponent for open source and models, a truly impressive demo would now be to use Kimi K3 to reverse the real XP binaries and turn them back into readabl

It could probably work for arab countries as they have immense solar potential and are already big in fertilizer production and shipping. They know their natural gas is not going to last forever.

Here in Germany we have up to three months of almost zero solar production in winter due to foggy conditions (measured from my own solar inverter). It is not feasible to store summer electricity until winter in batteries. Batteries have sel

Image models that support text output like Image2, or general text models that can read images like Claude can vectorize raster images. But they aren't very good at it, doing it manually in Inkscape still produces better quality even w

Sorry to say but it points more to a lack of conversational skills in you than people being less exciting than Claude. It's not always socially permissible but I often approach others with the mindset 1) Is this person far more knowled

Could you share some pre LLM false positives? Would be interesting to see what is tripping the detection. Did a tiny fraction of authors write like LLMs, before LLMs?

They are already. I've got the Spacemit K3 and it is a bit below Sandy Bridge single-core speed - so nothing spectacular - but fast enough for everyday desktop use. And way faster than my old budget smartphone's SoC. Yes RISC-V ha

Chinese companies are really into RISC-V and China both builds and uses a lot of smartphones, I'm very sure we won't have to wait 20 years for regular users installing apps on RISC-V hardware.

Memory safety problems are still possible in the new Rust Bun: At the time of writing, about 4% of Bun's Rust code sits inside an unsafe block (~13,000 unsafe keywords across ~27,000 lines / ~780,000 lines), and 78% of thos

I'm too young but I imagine assembly programmers were feeling the same when automatic code generation by compilers took over. Very weird.

True, but there are quite lightweight cars and heavy motorcycles. Lower damage potential of small and light cars compared to SUVs does not seem to give them a free pass to skip the sprawling driver assistance regulations.

Every year it feels more surprising how motorcycling is still allowed. No seatbelt, no ABS, no problem...
