Ha I remember SVGA. Darn we're old. But pixel art was definitely a style of it's own then and thats what my modern efforts attempt to replicate, at least

This seems a bit focused on a specific era of pixel art games AND CRTs. For me, nostalgia was things like Master of Magic or Civilization 1/2, and I played those on CRTs attached to PCs, not in an arcade - the pixels absolutely did not

I thought the censorship was in the harness, not the model? E.g. if you use chat.deepseek.com directly, and ask it about the location or rumours of the location of the panchen llama it will shut down... but sometimes just after it starts ge

Very much mixed. I've used Claude to generate small changes to an existing repo, asking it to create functions or react template in the style of the rest of the file its working in, and thats worked great. I still do a lot of the fine

It's almost as if being able to generate boilerplate code is only like 5% of software development. That being said, its great at generating boilerplate code or in my case, doing something like 'make a react component here please t

It's always 'eventually', 'soon', 'by the latter half of this year' with AI. Meanwhile I am both bemused and horrified as I watch a bunch of idiots desperate ly trying to find the magical 10x trick with AI

This reminds me of a take by Dan Harumi: these tools are always pitched for 'restraurant reservations', 'reminders', 'email and message follow ups': i.e. they appeal to the sort of arrested development man chil

I switched my laptop (Surface Laptop Go) from Win11 to Tumbleweed, and its great. Mainly because Windows kept getting slower, and arguably Win11 isn't great for an 8GB system. OpenSuse is a great distro. But my gaming PC and primary wo

I've been using Windows 11 since it came out. Seems fine, no real difference over 10. Maybe a little bit faster. Some of the more annoying stuff like ads in the start menu and the like only really affect americans, as far as I know. I&

It recently occurred to me that the crazy expense of the US Healthcare system (most expensive in the world, while also being terrible quality) might be by design: it keeps you desperately tied to your jobs. Just another threat enforcing tha

Agree with most of this (not the weird anti-immigrant bit but the rest), however China does have some foreign requirements that are a bit of a pain in the ass, like its insistence that Taiwan isn't a country. They also don't like

I got this and I know several others have gotten similar, seemingly tailored to their repositories. I'm not even American lol.

Should mention I feel bad for the Gazans. The democrats had already abandoned them (Genocide Joe etc) but they're screwed now - just like the Kurds which Trump betrayed and left for ISIS and Turkey last time.

Not sure if its clear here to US participants, but the world views this outcome much like we did in 2016: it makes the US into an absolute laughing stock. I don't fully understand: he was voted out in 2020 due to the massive failures o

Huh, didn't know it was basically bash commands for windows - I thought it was a faked up linux environment. I mostly just use ubuntu under wsl2, though the file performance across the windows filesystem isn't the best.

Could someone explain the 'sluggish ui responsiveness' talked about in the conclusion? I've never experienced it in 11, 10, 8 or 7 etc - but maybe thats because my windows machines are always gaming machines and have a contem

A shame. All the random garbage that comes out of things like ycombinator, promoted by 'visionaries' like graham, thiel and other bottom feeders, and something truly useful to the world like exercism is starving for funding :|

That's the spirit! People with attitudes like that are why my salary keeps going up.
