I was once SUN Microsystems Campus Ambassador at Oxford University and our first lecture was about dtrace! The guy from SUN was blown away by attendance so the higher ups wanted to do more & more events in bigger rooms. But as corporate

Imho 5.5 is the best balanced model that has the highest focus and balanced delivery particularly in web development. It's not great at research or novel development tasks, but for building web apps it’s the best. Sad that OpenAI wants

Claude models were always too eager and "overly helpful" for my taste. But it seems better models tend to be this way. GPT 6 and 5.6 are overly helpful too, but at least less than Fable. But I seem to be sticking to GPT 5.5 as thi

I don’t get it. You don’t need a Mac mini to use Claude Code on the go, any home server with stable internet is enough. Was it the marketing?

I obviously made a typo and meant GTA V.

I would hope an old Xbox One disconnected from LAN and WiFi, with a GTA VI DVD inside, could start the game just fine.

You could probably make your infra cheaper if you sent the generated slides to the web client and use some js ffmpeg wasm to compile the video in the browser. This way you could probably use the cheapest VPS to handle this.

"option shift -" like so —, or if you want an en-dash, just "option -" like –. The funny bit is that I like em-dashes too as they indicate a pause or an interruption in thinking that just looks better than parenthesis, h

I used to get 2-3 shady crypto offers per week on LinkedIn. It stopped when I started replying with AI generated responses demanding multiple verification steps: official email, official offer link, terms and scope etc. And a note with a fi

That’s a big lol compared to what I get out of ChatGPT Pro… running 5.5 on xhigh.

The PR buzz convinced me so I subscribed today to Pro. Running two tasks simultaneously with Fable and Opus 4-8 on ultra reasoning, analysing a single smart contract file used all my 7h usage within 20mins and didn’t produce any results. Pr

Interestingly, wine works on Apple Silicon via Rosetta2 so I guess it won't work by macOS 28, and we will be only left with arm64 DOSBox-X.

Dosbox has its emulator to run DOS, but afaik dosbox binary that starts up dosbox on Mac uses Rosetta on M-series Macs, and without Rosetta it simply won’t start and emulate DOS.

But I wonder if Heroic can install HoMM2 on a Mac if no Mac binary is available on GOG.

Hmm i guess this would require figuring out how to extract game data from an .exe installer GOG distributes. I guess AI would figure it out in like 3 minutes ;) I’ll check later.

So I guess sci-fi movies were right all along. Nobody in Star Wars knows how hyperspace travel works, it just works. The little robots know everything but almost no human bothers to care. People just carry on with their bickering lives whil

So I guess that yesterday's questions "Where is vibecoded Photoshop?" just got answered with a vibecoded Gimp UI that looks like Photoshop ;) but seriously, nice work!

Well my idea was that when I said that the overall story arch is interesting, one would read a paragraph or two and see themselves if it's worth reading further or not, so I didn't think mentioning anything else is necessary ;)

You're correct these text are much better called short stories, but I chose the word "novel" anyway. And despite the slop, I still find this experiment interesting for one: because it intrigues me how AI ponders on the subjec

Seems like every bubble has the same thing going on. I guess during tulip mania everyone was a florist.

This read is amazing and the development work is very impressive, great job and congrats! That said, my 20-30yo self would end at that. However, my 40yo+ self has a piece of wisdom here: the brass plugs are there for a reason: they slow thi

You learn the most from failure and the least from success. Likewise, you grow the most from pushing through the limits and the least from living in abundance. You can do pretty much anything on a full spec Mac Studio, but so can anyone els
