Ok, let’s assume that’s the case and we’d never see those improve under any circumstances. Where are all the killer new things? All we see are glorified hobby projects (guilty as charged) and an unimpressive pace of equally unimpressive fea

Why are Amazon and Walmarts mobile apps still janky crap that costs them money? Why does Meta still have four redundant, broken sign-up flows before you can give them money to advertise? Wherever these “10000x” engineering gains are… I’m wo

Seems like your “increasingly difficult” part is kinda what they meant.

They don’t prohibit them. There are categories of app that already have 100 trillion low effort copy-paste slop apps. In those categories, Apple applies a more stringent “must demonstrate some real differentiation” criteria. They also prune

That might be backwards. Like maybe people are so much more willing to even look at your mobile app because they got it from one of those two opinionated companies. Whatever friction that causes for app publishers, it seems to generally w

I have a silly (but honest) question. What's an example or two of a > 24hr task that people are actually asking something to do? Like real life ones.

Oracle is so far into AI that if OpenAI doesn’t absolutely explode with revenue, fast, Oracle is in a world of shit like they’ve never seen.

I’ve been trying to do this with a pet project and admit that I’m getting terrible results. My small llm as a classifier/router stage just isn’t getting the job done.

At all feels a bit like being bullish on the adjustable wrench, to me. It has lots of utility. Very broad… but not the best for a lot of things. It will be a ubiquitous tool. Outcomes will depend heavily on the quality of the mechanic unles

You seem to think I was disagreeing somehow. I was just asking what kinds of games and with which technology. Neither is stated in the original comment, and the answer obviously isn’t “every kind with every technology”.

They had to bolt those companies together to get more fuel for the AI cash furnace division.

It sure was interesting for a minute. I’m not normally an accelerationist about stuff… but now, when it comes to most social media, I’m kinda ok with the idea of it all burning to the ground.

We’re all trying to keep track of who is least bad in various ways at any moment in time. There’s nothing wrong with that, given the landscape we’re all living in.

> Opus 5 is incredible at making games. This is a bit vague. What sort of games with what technology?

It’s pretty clear they’re really not attempting to compete that way. They’re using a profitable ad business to be able to undercut and buy some business to stay relevant.

Increasingly us suburbanites don’t even do that. The grocery now comes to us.

And, in my mind, there’s a real difference between providing a hosted service and layering on DRM. Though it would be nice if more game makers ultimately provided a server. That used to be more common.

I like Gog and use Heroic, but that has not been a smooth experience on Steam Deck. It’s slowly improving, though.

Netflix does that too. It’s very annoying to know some things will never have a Dvd/Blu-ray release.

by dd8601fn 2mo ago
How and why does anyone “come after you” for backing up your own BluRays, though? Assuming you’re not redistributing, of course, which is another thing entirely.

Especially if you’re Apple and your expertise and reputation is in making privacy conscious devices and cloud services that are exceptionally user friendly. Then you go to the AI labs and say, “We see you’ve spent a trillion dollars on that

I got rid of both, not too long ago, but even trying to be careful about approving office chatter got me that read-only license check bar all the time. And getting rid of it meant clearing rules and blanket Approve for a time, or a flood of

You’re giving me ptsd of LittleSnitch + any Adobe (or microsoft) product. You seriously can’t even use the machine without blanket, permanent approvals… the endless flood of network requests is paralyzing.

The qualities of computation that make autopilots safer than human drivers aren’t the same qualities that produce better designed software products.

Eh. I understand the vibe, but so many millions of things have gotten so, so much better in my lifetime. We could spend all day trying to list them, if we tried.

Sure. I have a few projects like that, myself. Good luck with it.

Probably because they’re not mutually exclusive and one more accurately reflects the component of arousal.
