"Did something happen?" you really think nothing that happened in the last two years could lead to anyone changing their opinion about whether LLMs will lead to AGI?

I'll just push back a little in case anyone thinks that all older translations are no good. You're quite right that as scholarship advances, they become more accurate, and sometimes the quality improves as well. But there are other examples (like Pope's Iliad) where the accuracy is secondary to the interpretation and artistry in the target language.

Here however I think you're probably correct (and probably your comment was specific to this, not general). But I'd also recommend OP and other curious folks try downloading a few versions and reading the first few pages or hundred lines, and see which one feels best to you. Enjoying the work is the first task, then appreciating and studying will come more naturally later.

I think Navier was doing some but it was limited, specific routes and a while back. But it's something to look into.

replacing the notch with a hole punch isn't much of an improvement for me anyway. it still kills the top quarter inch of the display for non-letterboxed movies, games etc. I'm tempted to replace my Air with a Neo just to have a non-punctured screen.

the thing is we are not short on "ideas" in the drug development process

just noticed the name. thanks very much for many hours of fun in my youth. I'm looking forward to playing this again!

Ah, the muscle memory comes back fast.

>The port was directed by a human, implemented by Claude Opus 5.5, and designed by both.

This is certainly one area where I find AI tools to be largely beneficial. There are so many pieces of near-forgotten software that are difficult to interface with at all, let alone to decompile, debug and port and so on. I was thinking lately how useful an AI-powered editor for NES- and SNES-era games would be. The existing tile and mapper editors are generally pretty clunky IIRC.

woah - that's pretty shocking to me actually. in the past they generally have just used flattering angles. This is downright deception.

I'll go with C: a total lack of imagination

Either that or The Parallax View. Or of course Idiocracy.

could this be... an actual example of "begging the question"?!

yes, you seem like someone I want to spend time talking to
