this. years ago i was working with Intel and Samsung to enable Tizen on x86 phones. energy management was the biggest problem they had. RISC won. moreover, 8 years later Apple was moving away from x86_64 to ARM, so one could say ARM won because of better energy management, either through lower usage or other types of energy saving techniques. Google Pixel (ARM) had similar issues with battery life, or better yet battery drain during idle times. People underestimate battery saving techniques. As in all software engineering, when the focus is enablement, optimizations take a second stage.

the indie industry is brutal. i read his original reddit posts (he posted on several subs). that low cost of living is what's helpful and keeping him hoping for a 2nd attempt, plus he was saying he'll be going solo. but as a career choice, with the current costs of doing business and targeting markets with a high return rate, it's totally unsustainable. the sadder part is that there's really no other serious choice for publishing. Steam is 75% of the market share. as an indie, you want to cast a wide net, maximize exposure to maximize chances of sales, so Steam is the only realistic chance at success.

a month ago i was on vacation in southern Turkey. those resorts are full of russian tourists. at one point there was someone flying a drone over the beach. a russian kid started yelling, scared. this war will leave a whole generation with PTSD whenever they hear those high pitched propeller sounds...

i remember seeing a YT video on the official Anthropic channel where one of their evangelists was like: "y'all use fast mode? you should. it's really fast". and then checking out API billing pricing and was like: "no thanks, imma stick to my subscription, thank you. anyway, it would be interesting to see this with different vendors and models. i was expecting some sort of drop down for models, but maybe in the future?

I think Pi and Openclaw call it steering but I don't have much experience with it. Claude Code has this wonderful feature called "queued message while Claude works", them being delivered at tool boundary.

so "spends millions to make billions"? it makes sense tho. he has 400-500 ppl working for him, 200 the marketing side. if a quarter of that handles SEO/creative/engineering part for 4 major platforms + an extra team, that comes to 50 x 80k / yr = $5.2M. and this is on the low end of estimations.

This is my go-to screenshot tool for Ubuntu. I've even gone as far as replacing the default printscreen with this using Custom Shortcuts. Word of warning, however: it is somehwat buggy when trying to add more than 1 text boxes on the screenshot.
