I got massive productivity gains from having an LLM fill out my test suite.

It is like autocomplete and macros... "Based on these two unit tests, fill out the suite considering b, c, and d. Add any critical corner case tests I have missed or suggest them if they don't fit well."

It is on the human to look at the generated test to ensure a) they are comprehensive and b) useful and c) communicate clearly

At least post-mortems are filled with dead carcass.

Facebook is virtual reality, whereas VRChat is inhabited by humans.

Shifting the Overton Window as a Service

Nope. AlphaZero taught itself to play games like chess, shogi, and Go through self-play, starting from random moves. It was not given any strategies or human gameplay data but was provided with the basic rules of each game to guide its learning process.

Google as a first class partner is a massive liability. Example: Stadia was amazing and they snuffed it in the cradle.

Samsung should license Google App store, but retain full control for executing a product launch.

I wonder how much consternation there was around reading tea leaves for the next administration and not wanting to end up on the wrong end of DOGE politics.

Any evidence to back up "With Unreal becoming the Chrome of the game engine world"?

> 10y old professional software still works exactly the same now as 10 years ago

Great point for Windows. iOS, Mac, and Linux evolve too much to reliably run 10 year old binaries.

Bummer. I switched to Affinity (Photo, Designer) this year and am very happy. You can buy a lifetime license across all platforms (iPad, Mac, Windows) for a fixed price. It is great to have high quality software that is not a subscription.

Why do you say Affinity sold out?

This space grew into a bunch of different sub-cutures:

- static website generators (Hugo, etc)

- WYSIWYG editors (Wix, Squarespace)

- Frontends (NextJs, etc) backed by Headless CMS (Strapi, firebase, etc)

There really isn't a good spiritual successor currently. Someone should clone the UX of WP Admin panel, plugins, etc and drop the worst tech debt. Base it on React and make it really easy to deploy.

(edit: formatting)

Pixels per degree would be diluted or concentraded based on the filed of view. So you could have that resolution be a super crisp, but small region.

From the F.A.Q

Q: Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

A: Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

Before LLMs, one would think that about web pages. Now we have The Pile with everything that could be scrapped, regardless of importance or quality.

Amazing product!

My annoyance is that if I imagine each host, they tend to go in and out of knowing everything and then knowing nothing about that topic. I think it might be better to have a host and a subject matter expert guest or something like that.

These are entirely different tech skill trees. Meta has been acquiring research companies and empowering researchers to invent cutting edge solutions like micro-led projects and Waveguides whereas the Vision Pro is a traditional VR headset architecture.

Similarly Google has invested in 3D displays that use lightfield displays, with Project Starline.

One would assume Apple has many lines of research towards AR glasses, but nothing is publicly known.

Meta plays the asymmetry game. Apple and OpenAI are secret shops. Meta Orion and Llama can benefit from being more open.

I guess the humble-brag about being a registered arms dealer was just a bonus

Compared to all of the humans who compete at this level and their inputs and outputs for the trailing 5 years.

Yahoo pipes was amazing!

My vague memory of how this ended last time was processing cost and lack of a business model.

I would play a yodeling VR game.

Yes, I think that is the point?

A stepping stone to fulldive VR would being able to stimulate my skin to think it is 10 degrees warmer than it actually is. You probably could achive that with limited and targeted application. I'd implant that system and have an artificial sun in my office.

Nooo. I've been enjoying that voice for a few months on my iPhone ChatGPT app. Launched... and tested... the voice is someone else now.

DuckDuckGo.com will fix this inside of Chrome as well.

Science has always given us better, but error prone tooling to see further and make better guesses. There is still a scientific test. In a clinical trial, is this new drug safe and effective.

No mention of Cost for a task completed.

A similar system, CrewAI, I ran their hello world and it cost $4 against GPT-4.

There is a trade-off between my time and the cost of the feature against me just coding it up with LLM assistance which has a fixed cost of $20 per month.

The media needs to report a more realistic inflation metric. Groceries are wildly expensive.

The speed that these arms/hands move at is incredible compared to 4 months ago.

Julia Child's kitchen was famously functional with a peg board wall for quick access to hanging supplies. I could see her doing that!
