Pretty much all tv / steaming remotes don’t have keyboards though?

pretty weird that the whole article is about how the guy doesn't like the robot, but as someone who has no skin in the game or previous knowledge about industrial robots, it looks pretty much exactly how I would expect it to look, and all the tradeoffs make total sense. Why would I want a robot that can jump around if it's just moving heavy boxes around in a warehouse all day? and why is he so sad to have biult something useful? Maybe fund the research arm to make the high speed, agile robots from the actual workhorse robots that get s*t done?

Zed Shaw isn’t especially known for even-keeled rhetoric. He got famous from “rails is a ghetto”.

Doom isn’t 3d, it’s raycasted 2.5d. It’s a completely separate type of rendering that has nothing in common with real 3d.

How would any DNS service proxy wildcards? Is that something that’s actually supported as part of DNS? What actually gets resolved in that case? I’ve always had to register every domain/subdomain that should get proxied.

I also had a 6TB red that failed. It was SMR. The other 6TB reds I had were and are still fine, but they weren’t SMR. I didn’t even know what SMR was but that drive had awful performance til the day it died

Why is that? Humans are considered AGI and we make godawful software 90% of the time.

PS5 emulation has gone from barely working to running Dark Souls at 10+ FPS with virtually no graphical glitches… in 6 weeks. If you’re not familiar with normal emulator development time, this is… quite extraordinary. There have been insane progress on decompilations and many other things in the emulator space.

Everyone’s trying to figure out how to convert this speed to product features at scale, but enterprises are like container ships. Lots of might but slow to turn. The littler companies can actually take advantage of this and produce higher quality products at much faster speed. I think you’re expecting too much in the short term and too little in the long term. AI-native companies are gonna eat everyone’s lunch, once they figure out how to actually do it reliably.

If you don’t have style rules baked into the PR process, you should. Tabs vs. spaces is a team decision and needs to be matched by everyone to reduce code churn. It’s correct to reject a PR if it violates the team style guide (although it should be automated and have tooling locally to enforce it as well.)

this difference engine model has a lot of obvious flaws - the gears do not mesh with each other, the teeth directly overlap. the notches that are supposed to articulate to ratchet aren't actually engaging the teeth on the ratchet. the ratcheting mechanisms on the right are straight up just hovering in the air and are not attached to anything.

that's probably what people are talking about when they say it can't do CAD?

How do you actually do that? Is it all running locally? Cloud agents? Would love to hear about this. I see these deep agent loops mostly just burning tokens, but when I guide the AI I get very good results, so I’m not sure where the disconnect lies.

We definitely need more spyware from Google in our smart TVs, can’t wait!

I would love to use Voz and Ear, but I’d need a version that is competitive with other audio transcription LLMs for platform availability - meaning macOS, Windows and Linux, and supporting GPUs if available.

I love the idea! OKF 0.2 solves for the problem of the AIs generating massive amounts of documentation (far more than humans ever created) and giving it equal-weight over what a human actually approved and committed to. I've been using it to attribute my decisions with specific directions on how to ensure that it takes strong direction from my explicit decisions and clarifies implicit / AI-driven decisioning.

Adding on progressive disclosure to this is brilliant, and I love the idea of a fast, in-memory, single-binary tool. This is a great way to approach the solution to this problem.

One thing I will say though - I would never be able to use this in my enterprise. It would just be too much of an uphill battle to purchase something that is so niche in utility - this tool is not a ton different than just having the md files locally and having it use ripgrep to search over them, and telling CLAUDE to write the OKF files as well as an index when it makes changes, is it? is the index generated dynamically / is anything about the progressive disclosure different than just having the agent manage it while it documents?

If you're going for smaller teams that can buy tools without a ton of approval / procedural overhead, I think that might have some success. another possible solution would be to make the cross-repo search something that you can handle with OSS but you have to self-host, and then pay for support. if you got enough usage and penetration within an enterprise from the teams just using OSS and self-hosting, they might consider buying support after-the-fact.

Running an iOS app on Android is still gonna look like an iOS app. This seems worse than Flutter (reimplement the whole UI) or React Native (abstract on top of native UI.) If we’re ok picking a non-native UI why not just build a Cordova app?
