A few things outside of normal work that are deliberately different to be interesting to me: - Ongoing work on an airline announcement engine that works with flight simulators https://github.com/fearlessfrog/MSFS_Univer

It works great with UEVR, there's a discussion post in the steam forum on how to set that up. It plays really nicely in VR.

Very impressive! What's the stack used? Also, is there a way to stop the 'Satellite Inspect' dialog from coming up when clicking around the globe? It obscures a bit of the map.

A nice idea and good luck! My lawn is dead as our local data center took all the water (I'm kidding!). We do home property and inventory services using AI on photos as well and the key thing we've found so far is that the biggest

Nice idea! fwiw, false positives and all, but the Windows 11 default Windows Security doesn't like it: `leakless.exe: Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.`

It does local stuff of course, and some are trying to bring PC streaming to it, e.g. https://github.com/Kross82/KRVR-releases

Will be interesting to see which side of $999 it drops. I'll buy it regardless but the optics (heh) on the high RAM cost issue and the unit price might temper demand a bit.

Given the Fable 5 costs it's getting tricker to weight up 'how smart do you want it', like looking at the top of this graph.. https://cursor.com/evals

An overridden `.newspaper-copy { font-size: 1rem; }` works well.

There seems a fair enthusiasm in the UI of these to hide code from coders. Like the prompt interaction is the true source and the actual code is some sort of annoying intermediate runtime inconvenience to cover up. I get that productivity c

Agree with that, they seem really good limits for daily use on something like Chat GPT Pro $20 account. I'm in the curious situation of using the Codex CLI within Cursor IDE and not really getting value out of my $60 Cursor sub. Plus a

I find that the case too. For more complex things my future ask would be something that perhaps formalized verification/testing into the AI dev cycle? My confidence in not needing to see code is directly proportional in my level of com

This looks interesting and I use Codex a fair bit already in vscode etc, but I'm having trouble leaving a 'code editor with AI' to an environment that sort of looks like it puts the code as a hidden secondary artefact. I gues

I did too - did the SF back to NYC leg that goes the north route as well. Amazing experience. I was only 19 at the time. My favorite memory is that on the westbound leg we met up with the eastbound one in (I think) Yellowstone and while par

So is maybe gpt-5.2 with reasoning set to 'none' identical to gpt-5.2-chat-latest in capabilities but perhaps with a different system (system) prompt? I notice chat-latest doesn't accept temperature or reasoning (which makes

gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.2-chat-latest the same token price? Isn't the latter non-thinking and more akin to -nano or -mini?

Yep, it's great for generating tests and so much of that is boilerplate that it feels great value. As a super lazy developer it's great as the burden of all that mechanical 'stuff' being spat out is nice. Test code being

I get a lot of productivity out of LLMs so far, which for me is a simple good sign. I can get a lot done in a shorter time and it's not just using them as autocomplete. There is this nagging doubt that there's some debt to pay one

Since I can't edit, it seems like Flash image is about 23% (4 cents vs 17 cents) of the cost of Openai gpt-image-1, if you're putting an image and prompt in and getting out, say, a 1024x1024 generated image. With the quicker produ

by daviding 1y ago
Not sure. If the Flash image output is $30/M [1] then that's pretty similar to gpt-image-1 costs. So a faster and better model perhaps but not really cheaper? [1] https://developers.googleblog.com/en/introduci

Up here in Canada it's a question of trust, or rather the lack of it. Things are unlikely to ever go back to the way things were. Buy, make and domestically develop drones, lots and lots of drones.

The most fun one I've used is that it is my home environment in VR. In 3D it is a weird feeling to walk around and see how all the old sight lines are. I still duck a bit walking past mid doors :) https://steamcommunity.com&

I had a mild addiction to this game about 7 or so years ago. Purely casual but lots of hours. I found it sort of a stress relief. On the upside it gave me all sorts of free items as in-game 'drops'. I ignored them all at the time

Can you pick thinking models with this or is that implied? GPT-5 seems a bit slow so far (in terms of deciding and awareness). I’ve gone from waiting for a compiler, to waiting for assets to build to now waiting for an agent to decide what
