What would you say is the best in class here?

I loved the now legacy Claude design experience apart from the fact that the project lived on Anthropic’s servers.

My ideal product would allow the creative loop I had with Claude design, but more tightly integrated into my actual component library so there’s nothing to keep in sync.

I found some joy with Penpot but it didn’t allow me to use my real components.

I’m down to trying to hand roll this in each project now as a living style guide, but I’m missing something from the Claude Design system prompt that made it feel so quick and easy to explore and arrive at something I like and share prototypes

I’m really curious about this as someone that has never tried Elixir/BEAM.

What could I stop caring about?

As far as I understand Opus 4.7 disregards the disable adaptive thinking flag. So if you're seeing it perform well, perhaps their evals are inline?

It is Afrikaans.

It’s not so much the language as the content. Songs and pop culture that 30-60 year old South Africans would be familiar with.

I love this initiative!

I’ve spent several hours over the holidays searching for something my family can play and coming up empty.

The game that most often works is Song Pop Party on Apple TV, but non-apple phones have a second rate experience and keep disconnecting.

Ideally we’d have a trivia game as I also want to engage some older folks, but the leasing trivia game on Apple TV is way too US specific and hard for our family to enjoy.

There used to be a game show on local TV in the late nineties called “Noot vir Noot” (note by note) that had a whole bunch of games based on music that was familiar to the local market. I’ve been chasing something like that for years and not come close.

I guess the point of my rambling is that I LOVE the phones-as-controllers approach to party games, but many seem to focus on Nintendo-esque experiences, rather than quiz game like experiences.

I am aware of the Jackbox games but haven’t looked at the recent releases. They were hit and miss with the family in the past, with many of the non-english first language folks often not getting it.

It's quite exciting to see how much movement there has been in Async ruby. It's not a silver bullet for traditional Rails-like apps, but it's a whole new frontier for Ruby, and is particularly timely and helpful for LLM integrations.

It's also been done in a way that is transparent and practically colorless (in contrast to async/await), AND is competitive performance wise with the big dogs.

I expect it to gain in popularity over the coming years.

This.

You can't get high frame rates with path tracing and 4K. It just doesn't happen. You need to enable DLSS and frame gen to get 100fps with more complete ray and path tracing implementations.

People might be getting upset because the 4090 is WAY more power than games need, but there are games that try and make use of that power and are actually limited by the 4090.

Case in point Cyberpunk and Indiana Jones with path tracing don't get anywhere near 100FPS with native resolution.

Now many might say that's just a ridiculous ask, but that's what GP was talking about here. There's no way you'd get more than 10-15fps (if that) with path tracing at 8K.

1Password already has support for this. Some would argue that you're defeating the purpose of 2FA if it's stored in the same way as your password, but it is pleasant.

In the EU Safari is no longer used by default. You're forced to choose a browser when setting up the phone.

I hope that Apple pulls out of the EU. They're less than 10% of their global revenue. If the fines are higher than their profits why on earth would they stay?

Yea, but that's not so true for the DMA. They're only targeting foreign companies using it.

To non-EU big tech that is. They are very happy to protect Spotify.

What I don't understand is why people keep using Apple? There are already platforms that allow this. Use them!

You've mentioned remote... is that Global Remote or US Remote?

Sanctuary Computer looks like an awesome place to work.

In South Africa, middle-income and above can be almost all digital if they choose. Some folks prefer cash and it's still accepted most places, though I'm seeing some places go cashless more recently.

This is the case even at small markets etc. Over the last two years mobile NFC machines have become widespread.

The only area where I personally feel like I need cash is with car guards (literally people who stand and look after cars in parking areas). I'm not a fan of the profession, but it's culturally common place and many folks tip in small denominations of notes or coins.
