Ergonomics for hand composition are less relevant now. The most important trait is how does a long-lived project perform when written by a coding agent. I’m curious if anyone has a…

IMO we won’t see AGI until the models are sitting inside bodies with senses and gut biomes and opposable thumbs and the like, all influencing the context window in real time. Intel…

According to one poll, 75% of them will, yes https://wtop.com/lifestyle/2025/08/what-kids-say-it-would-ta...

I had a lot of fun. I think the progression curve gets boring around Boss Level 11. Introducing a prestige system could extend the runway. I thought both Factor and Divide were int…

From a non-dual perspective either nobody is a p-zombie or everybody is a p-zombie. I think the trajectory of LLMs will be that consciousness sensations are abundant and low value,…

It’s going to be a long road, but I think as LLMs and their offspring create more and more convincing arguments for silicon consciousness we will conclude that consciousness is abo…

TV has the “puzzle box” genre and this is a much better fit for what Tunic is

Snakebird is my vote for best puzzle game of all time

This would have been great back when I used a search engine to visit web pages.

I think of it like a technology checkpoint. Make sure you got as far as everyone else when they gave up, so when the next innovation in that space comes along you can start back up…

Listed in the article are the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, which monitors and removes child sexual abuse material f…

If you’re worried about fitting the window, make a RAG holding an AST transformation of your codebase

I’ve given these sorts of haystack search struggles completely over to the LLM. Whether it’s finding a bug in code or searching documentation for the answer, I view it as a near-ob…

I liked the results of vectorizer.ai and recraft.ai Input image is important too. When working with the generalist LLM on the raster art, give it context that you are making a logo…

If you search for ‘vectorization AI’ there are a handful of specialized tools and apis that can do it. It worked well for a handful of logos I wanted to convert. Nano banana genera…

Atomic commits compose easier. In case you want to pull a few out to ship as their own topic. Or separate out the noisy changes so rebases are quicker. Separate out the machine-gen…

I wouldn’t say A Theory of Fun is “the book.” It’s more a coffee table read. “The book” is Jesse Schell’s The Art of Game Design

Most people don’t stay. They burn out and find work/life balance in other fields. Once they realize how depressed their wages were in the games industry there’s no hope of getting …

I don’t think volume of engagement is the main issue with social media. Rather, it’s the scope of access. Social media exposes us to too many people and we forget their humanity. I…

It’s a start. I’m bummed at how narrowly scoped this is. When the RFC period was open I wrote in to highlight how apartments charge surprise pet rent fees that don’t appear until t…

> How are you supposed to know if you have milk that will quickly go bad etc.? The milk will say "Best if Used By ". This information can be found in the fifth sentence in the arti…

The wording in the fraud cancellation emails gave me a good laugh. "My payment provider said you used a stolen credit card. Why did you do that? I've revoked your access."

What happens now? We unbundle search results? Sounds cool!

Self-identifying as an introvert or an extrovert is a limiting belief. Free yourself from this pseudo-science garbage.
