A few weeks ago I had Fable build https://curry-combat-2.com : Super Curry Combat II Turbo: Legend Edition, a Street Fighter clone where every fighter is a Time Curry character. It, was to me, surprisingly good for an AI slop pro

What’s next? Are they going to forbid the use of Intellisrnse? Maybe IDEs in general? Why not just specify all contributions must be written with a steady hand and a strong magnet.

This was always going to fail because the requirements were insane: solving SQL, XML and JSON generation should have never been part of the spec. There are hundreds, if not thousands of libraries for the those cases. The developers should h

"No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." Apple first-gen products are often half-assed. But they iterate and improve on a regular cadence. The current Apple Vision Pro is a dev kit, it will get better.

$68 billion is a lot, but it also only three Big Digs ($22 billion). If Chernobyl killed the Soviet economy it was because it was in already terrible shape.

Because we outlawed railroad strikes but didn't outlaw airline strikes. Doesn't really prevent a strike though: it just makes it cost more. Here in Massachusetts it's illegal for public school teachers to strike, yet it has h

I agree. The only real use for more pixels is for crop-to-zoom. I want big glass and big sensors so we can get real bokeh. My ideal phone camera would be a single APS-C sized sensor replacing all three current iPhone cameras. The lens shoul

It feels like Xiaomi is chasing a market that doesn’t really exist. Smartphone cameras are good enough for most people. And for folks who want more, mirrorless and DSLRs start cheap and much, much better. Even worse, this phone looks to use

Literally none of what you listed is work. Board games, happy hours, friends: these are all things you can (and should) be doing in your non-work hours.

The state doesn't have unions, the teachers do. The state negotiates with the union and then the teachers vote to approve the agreed on contract. If the teachers don't like the contract the union has negotiated, they can vote agai

At what point are “rigorous specs” just another, higher-level programming language? We’ve already moved the needle on language “high-level”-ness without AI. The Kotlin and Java I write today is orders of magnitude more expressive than the C

Most EVs have one pedal mode: lift your foot off the accelerator and the car rapidly decelerates to a stop using regenerative breaking. My BMW has a neat adaptive driving mode: because the motors don’t use permanent magnets, lifting off wou

I would love to see a language that considers tooling a first class problem. Most (all?) languages barely consider complex projects with 100s of dependencies and large multi-step builds. Java shouldn't have to wait for Maven and Gradle

Preview, despite its name, does this really well. Its freeform drawing tools are a little different (shapes and lines are vector, not pixel) but they're very easy to use.

The atomic bomb is a good contrast. In the early 30s we knew a bomb was possible (Szilard‘s patent was in 1933) but there were huge engineering problems to overcome (enriching uranium). But we knew that even if we couldn’t scale up isotope
