As an early adopter of SwiftUI, this hasn't been my experience—but I understand that a lot of people struggle with it. I think it's pretty opinionated, and if you stick to the "preferred" way of doing things, life is eas

Ignore the haters—Swift is an enjoyable and productive language that gives you a lot of advanced features if you want them, but lets you ignore them and almost treat it like a scripting language. Adding first-class wasm support could help i

I mean, all colors exist only in our brains. "Color" is a perceptual experience that may start as spectral power and cone excitation, but is then mapped to color sensation through a fantastically complex visual system in the brain

I looked for a blog post announcing this, and couldn't find it. But Antiwork's Github profile mentions: > Antiwork emerged from Gumroad's mission to automate repetitive tasks. In 2025, we're taking a bold step by

Yeah, I get that there are startups trying to do it. But I work with Cursor quite a bit… there is no way I would trust an LLM code agent to take high-level direction and issue a PR on anything but the most trivial bug fix.

IMO they haven't even predicted mid-2025. > Coding AIs increasingly look like autonomous agents rather than mere assistants: taking instructions via Slack or Teams and making substantial code changes on their own, sometimes savi

Man, it's wild how much you can do with CSS calculations. How long before someone makes a CSS-only Game Boy emulator?

Yeah 35k of code is a red flag. There's no reason for this to be that large.

It's a reference to "All models are wrong, but some are useful"

At that point, why not just use vanilla JS and no framework? Literally zero build time and zero bytes of framework code. And it's fast as hell.

Desperation because they face an existential risk from trillion dollar companies (and others) creating open models that are starting to catch up to their flagship.

This definitely feels like a move made out of desperation, but I admit I'm curious to see what they release. It's fascinating that some of the best-funded startups of the 2020s are all rushing to commoditize their core technology

I put together a similar setup in 2020/2021, but had to tear it all down. I got too many jokes about being a Twitch streamer, and the teleprompter made me look like one of those dudes who stares directly into your eyeballs at all times

I've done it all… wired earbuds, AirPods, dedicated mic with custom noise reduction & EQ. It comes down to this: I don't want stuff in my ear all day, and using a pro mic just comes across as "try hard" in most conte

I can't believe they're complaining about LLMs not being able to do unit conversion. Of all things, this is the least interesting and last task I would ever ask an LLM to do.

PS, if you're downvoting this, can you explain why?

My feeling is… just give it 6-12 months. All the low-quality apps that were "vibe-coded" will start to break down, have massive security breaches, or generally fall apart as new features are added. Brace yourself for a wave of thi

So basically Pew is using garbage adware that pops up an intrusive popup that screws up automated language detection, Chrome is way too overeager to auto translate, and Google Translate is starting to go to seed now that everyone uses LLMs.

Yeah, but the calculator analogy is apt. In the past, anyone who went to grade school could answer 6 * 7 off the top of their head, and do basic mental math. We've pretty much lost that. With that said, I do worry that losing the abili

Wait, you’re saying the Trump administration might be breaking a rule? Pretty wild accusation

So basically front end, back end and data.

Really cool! I haven’t peered into the internals yet, so forgive the ignorant question: are the calculations spectral?

There's a big difference between "reinventing the wheel" and simply making your own wheel. People often conflate the two. e.g. making your own static site generator is not reinventing the wheel. It's making your own wh

Looks like an awesome addition to the GB emulation world! I know GB Studio can export a web player—I wonder if this implementation has some advantages.

Just write vanilla JS, CSS and HTML. Web standards have improved so much over the past 10 years. You don’t need any of the junk people talk about—not even Tailwind. Not even Svelte. Just KISS.

At this point it feels like Mach is a reliable source of bugs in macOS. I know Apple is working hard to lock it all down, but is there any path to shifting away from Mach completely?

Follow-up: Thanks for all the links, everyone! I haven't been keeping up, but it looks like there's more momentum than I realized.

It’s too bad there isn’t more momentum in the Mac emulation scene. It seems like it stalled out with SheepShaver and Basilisk II. The only new thing is “make it run in JS.” I would love to see an emulator that could run later OS versions li
