This reminds me a bit of one mode (squared) from Picture Enigmas ( https://picture-enigmas.com/#features ) which I like to play from time to time.

Its similar for us to a certain extent. I honestly don‘t know yet where this will lead to. Personally I also don‘t really follow the arguments that the agent does the coding and th…

Thats correct - and I notice that on myself. There are just much more things reachable at any point in time compared to our youth it takes real effort to focus.

I am also looking for that personally. I think its partially as you say: "everything I may need either already exists". Through the connection over the internet (as great as it is)…

I actually never understood this, the C128 was a strange device (as you say like the IIGS). Was it really because Albert Charpentier left and then nobody was able to do a VicIII un…

Important fun fact, this synthesizer was an Ensoniq chip (ES5503 DOC), designed by Bob Yannes, the inventor of the SID chip. The IIGS was actually a cool machine, not very successf…

In general you are right, I expect something like this to appear in the future and it would be cool. But isn't the criticism rather that there are too many (as you say repetitive, …

Well one can only hope so. It has maybe 2 good years left, would be nice to get a new one at some point.

This was such a relieve for us. Looking back its unbelievable how much combined time we wasted complaining about and fixing formatting issues in code reviews and reformatting in ge…

Its also faster when used via Remote Desktop, VNC etc. so still doing it for these reasons.

Wondering whether we will see some combination with Cyc at some point (which tried to solve the „encoding of the world“ problem)

There should be SOPs in place for each "expected" issue so people know what to do. Its not like you (should) start debugging and deploying stuff in the middle of your on-call shift…

At first glance this seems like a healthy attitude (and probably is) On the other hand this spaghetti stuff usually comes back to them in form of new (bug) tickets or even worse on…

Well then let them do it. The more interesting part is the "forcing others to do it" or "being forced by others to do it". The individual should be able to make this decision. But …

Dry cooling towers do exist (though I am aware they also have disadvantages).

Same. I switched from Android (Sony xperia compact series) to a Mini 13 and while it took a while to get used to iOS its just great. A pity they discontinued it, I intend to keep i…

Yes, it is unfair. If we have all this great automation and AI, why is this necessary?

I always had one (likely stupid) question regarding these as I don‘t own one but would very much like an improvement over the paper, so now is the time to ask the experts: Are you …

Exactly. This is the "reverse centaur" metaphor by Doctorow (for example here https://doctorow.medium.com/https-pluralistic-net-2024-04-23... ) which describes the exact problem wi…

Interesting, need to check but so far the modern methods of multi protocol messaging was mostly just aggregating the web UIs of the various services in a single application (read: …

Yeah thats because then they don‘t really look at it and certainly don‘t really understand it. In some way reviewing code is more complicated and hard than actually writing it. I r…

That is correct but it was still more open than what we have now with the current services. 3rd party clients and multi-protocol messengers we don't have at all anymore.

I get that this was the original idea. But besides the question whether that is actually true (it is not, the ipad certainly can't do everything as good) the issue people seem take…

Obligatory Krazam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7qjN3KF8U&t=94s (One of their best videos imho)

Yes, I will slowly have to adapt and move to larger and larger phones once my 13 mini dies (hope this will still take a looong time). This wont stop me from complaining how ridicul…
