In my own, very anecdotal, experience, Gemini 3 Pro and Flash are both more reliably accurate than GPT 5.x. I have not worked with Sonnet enough to give an opinion there.

I'm definitely curious about fountain pens. I'm one of the few people I know that still writes in cursive. And yeah, I still use .txt occasionally! Though mostly these days it's .md.

That's the conclusion the article came to, though without the potentially derogatory "hipster" label. I buy cassettes and vinyl because it's a more complete sensory experience than just Spotify or MP3s. Listening to musi

My ideal writing experience is one where there is nothing in the way of writing. For me, that means as close to hand-writing a manuscript as possible, without the pain of extended hours of pressing hard with a pen or pencil. From there, I m

I would be interested in seeing what G3P makes of the Dead Sea Scrolls or similarly old documents.

I have never considered trying to apply Claude/Gemini/etc. to Fortran or COBOL. That would be interesting.

When I saw the headline I was ready to be mad, but after reading the post, I'm cautiously on board with this.

I'm not convinced of your first point. Just because something seems difficult to avoid given the current context does not mean it was the only path available. Your second point is a little disingenuous. Yes, Microsoft and Windows have

These two statements are not mutually exclusive.

I agree, for what that's worth. However, this is an unexpected bell curve. I wonder if GitHub is seeing more frequent adversarial action lately. Alternatively, perhaps there is a premature reliance on new technology at play.

Microsoft is also convinced that its works are a net benefit for humanity, so I would take that with a grain of salt.

Touché. Still, I think the down sides of LLMs outweigh the benefits for most use cases.

This list actually convinced me to get one, since I'm almost the opposite of every list item, haha.

You say that as if LLMs are a good thing.

I can confirm that that bug exists even on "new" Reddit.

Kind of like those fashions where the model wears some kind of artistic interpretation of a yellow flower when really they look like they're wearing more of an art installation than functional clothing?

If you tell me about sound, and describe sound, and speculate about sound... give me sound. It's a small thing. But if you're going to say you have something to say about sound, give me some sound to demonstrate your point.

I'm on Neocities. I use it as my low-effort gaming website. https://dungeonhack.neocities.org/

I'm reworking my dungeon generator on Iron Arachne as a result of what I'm studying in Applied Algorithms for my master's degree. More deterministic, much improved time complexity, and hopefully, more interesting results.

OK, I would pay for this. Definitely following!

Sure, but the files I'm talking about were never online.

I'm jealous. My files from those days did not survive; too many hard drive failures and lost or destroyed CDs. This is particularly sad to me because I dabbled in Flash animation too back then, since I was in art school at the time. No

Good progress this month! Good to see it running on Windows now, even if I don't use Windows myself anymore. That'll help boost adoption once it releases.

If you think this is weird, then whatever culture you're immersed in, I want no part of it.

You're not weird. I've wondered the same thing myself.

I haven't used it for that purpose much, but it seems to lag pretty far behind Photoshop/Affinity Photo.
