Yes, he's the person I'll always associate with this phrase for exactly that reason!

You're right, fixed it. I discussed it extensively with a colleague and that got conflated. It's a great article.

Memory is such an odd thing: not having thought of it in years, I recalled that Gestalt was a Mac feature to allow it to know its own capabilities: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Gestalt

Any plans regarding JavaScript support in the browser? There was an issue with a demo but it's missing now. I can't recall for sure but I think I got it working locally myself too but then found it broke unexpectedly and I didn&#x

Claude is subconsciously a fan on Crystal Quest?! Loved that game on the Mac back in '95! The article and video are great satire too.

Yes, I was surprised there would be enough to go on with the MAC addresses rotating and I had assumed the UUID would too, but it sounds like there's enough to go on to identify targets.

Impressive stuff but it would be polite to the potentially interested users if the line, "... this package is currently a proof of concept with limited direct use", had been put a little earlier. It's about nine or so dense p

I didn't realise but by chance i bumped into this last night. I wanted to remove a few letters from the Star Wars logo and it refused... Thought it was a bit much, but it mentioned third party concerns.

Interesting idea. It spreads the effort for maintaining the list of trusted people, which is helpful. However I still see a potential firehose of randoms requesting to be vouched for. Various ways one might manage that, perhaps even some mo

Interestingly neither their GitHub nor the La Suite front page (translated) actually mention "office" - that's what the OP titled it.

If you come up with a realistic language spec and wait maybe six months, by then it'll probably be approach being cheap enough that you could test the scenario yourself!

Surely they would have return home clauses in their contract, along with ongoing insurance etc till they get you back. Otherwise why would anyone risk going?! It'd be like high stakes musical chairs

The forum for this particular problem contains points that suggest it has been solved with a Gemini DeepThink based agent. Preprint here has more detail: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.21442

Even with tooling isn't this kind of effort going to be enormously complicated, because, as I understand it, so many aspects of the behaviour of 8-bit and console games relied on all sorts of clever techniques, timing quirks and other

Has anyone seen this implemented? Doesn't look like there is any code to try or links to a demo. They mention a video but the paper didn't include details but a quick Google found this (which I vaguely recognise now as having been
