In my limited experience, in h2 this year, LLMs were kind of shit at building Mobile apps. I had to switch TO react native because the flutter app it built me was a horrible buggy mess and I couldn't debug it myself because I don'

Well it's actually not, if you read my post you'd see that I use AI at work for everything, and I'm going back to hand coding for one of my more important side projects. I still use LLMs for less important work

When you're in a cockpit you're pushing the stick forward to dive, up key on the keyboard is often what we use to represent that but it's not a perfect analogy.

Second this. I've been trying to build a casual flying game in unity and getting the physics right is hard. What I found particularly hard is simulating accurately how gravity works against the aircrafts momentum, and trying to get sta

Another point, to counter the " plastic bags are cheap, cotton is expensive" argument, is that most of the reusable bags are plastic too. They are way cheaper to produce than cotton bags, and earn their keep within about 5 to 10 u

This is probably an interesting story but we're just lazy linking to Wikipedia here and Wikipedia has no details. Why was it considered impossible to build this road? All we have is construction details in two to three paragraphs This

It's an interesting tech combo, but I 60W per square meter is quite a bit lower than regular panels which would be more like 200W. The system also seems much more complex. I just can't see people having this kind of thing on domes

This is the first exciting thing I've seen done with LLMs in quite some time. Turning on or off an LED doesn't seem world shattering, but the idea that we might be able to unlock or add functionality to hardware we own makes me gi

I wish people would find a decent source for these stories in order to post them on here instead of sending us to a tweet. I'm not on Twitterx and it's a mini nightmare on a mobile browser
