   Totally helpful and I believe accurate. I find the times where I’m actually most productive with coding agents are not super fun, instead it’s iterative manual qa and code review hell. But while that actually results in good, usable code it

   True WebXR for the Apple ecosystem will never come. At least that’s what I’m assuming given their behavior so far

   I've also found the OpenAI image models to lose fine detail on image edits compared to Nano Banana or Flux models which faithfully retain input source image geometry and details. I was hoping this might be different but it sounds simil

   It’s great! Agreed don’t feed the trolls. I’ve helped with a few other zoning visualization projects recently, similar workflow. The only similarity is that each city/jurisdiction makes its data available in a different way. It’s usual

   I'm sure tons of companies have retainer spends with IBM for software, hardware, consulting, etc., and this is another way for their corporate clients to spend down / increase their retainers faster

   Love this and as a fellow GIS software traveler I’ll share optional guidance that ESRI has trademarked that term for a very similar product. Might be worth thinking about alternative naming ideas.

    This is awesome and if it's legal I'd love to do similar things on geospatial projects I work on. However I don't think Apple will be OK with this use of their data. I know that Google closely limits its 3D tiles data through

    I agree, one must actually use a language for it to contribute to brain plasticity in later ages.

    Learning new languages (and actually using them) is a great way to do this for all ages!

    Intriguing. Like the computer instantiated a wheel and rolls off by itself, no humans needed?

    > What if we made all advertising illegal? It's such a wild idea that I've never heard it in the public discourse. Local jurisdictions have restricted or even forbidden outdoor advertising since it was invented.

    Honestly same, I was less interested in the styling and just interested in the immediacy of response which is ironically missing in a lot of modern ui

    Agree, Costco succeeds at externalizing last mile costs by offloading it to suburbanites who view it as a sunk cost. Similar to uber/lyft drivers doing their own fleet management.

    Thanks, that's a much better example of what I was trying to explain. Again, I'm projecting humanity onto a machine, but it's not a big stretch to imagine that the interaction of attention heads over high-dimensional vectors

    Although it's a no no to anthropomorphize on HN, it's worth noting that some folks think humans are post-hoc rationalizers as well: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/tippling/2013/11/14/post-ho

    Just let go of the entire R&D team and then you have a 50% margin business. UPDATE: Also bad news, you need to let go of all of sales and marketing and G&A. And THEN it's a 50% margin business.
