    A few things outside of normal work that are deliberately different to be interesting to me: - Ongoing work on an airline announcement engine that works with flight simulators http…

    It works great with UEVR, there's a discussion post in the steam forum on how to set that up. It plays really nicely in VR.

    Very impressive! What's the stack used? Also, is there a way to stop the 'Satellite Inspect' dialog from coming up when clicking around the globe? It obscures a bit of the map.

    A nice idea and good luck! My lawn is dead as our local data center took all the water (I'm kidding!). We do home property and inventory services using AI on photos as well and the…

    Nice idea! fwiw, false positives and all, but the Windows 11 default Windows Security doesn't like it: `leakless.exe: Operation did not complete successfully because the file conta…

    It does local stuff of course, and some are trying to bring PC streaming to it, e.g. https://github.com/Kross82/KRVR-releases

    Will be interesting to see which side of $999 it drops. I'll buy it regardless but the optics (heh) on the high RAM cost issue and the unit price might temper demand a bit.

    Given the Fable 5 costs it's getting tricker to weight up 'how smart do you want it', like looking at the top of this graph.. https://cursor.com/evals

    An overridden `.newspaper-copy { font-size: 1rem; }` works well.

    There seems a fair enthusiasm in the UI of these to hide code from coders. Like the prompt interaction is the true source and the actual code is some sort of annoying intermediate …

    Agree with that, they seem really good limits for daily use on something like Chat GPT Pro $20 account. I'm in the curious situation of using the Codex CLI within Cursor IDE and no…

    I find that the case too. For more complex things my future ask would be something that perhaps formalized verification/testing into the AI dev cycle? My confidence in not needing …

    This looks interesting and I use Codex a fair bit already in vscode etc, but I'm having trouble leaving a 'code editor with AI' to an environment that sort of looks like it puts th…

    1989. I saw a paper flyer in the New York Public Library and turned up a few days later at the bus station on impulse. It was basically a moving commune, where you slept on flat bo…

    I did too - did the SF back to NYC leg that goes the north route as well. Amazing experience. I was only 19 at the time. My favorite memory is that on the westbound leg we met up w…

    So is maybe gpt-5.2 with reasoning set to 'none' identical to gpt-5.2-chat-latest in capabilities but perhaps with a different system (system) prompt? I notice chat-latest doesn't …

    gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.2-chat-latest the same token price? Isn't the latter non-thinking and more akin to -nano or -mini?

    Yep, it's great for generating tests and so much of that is boilerplate that it feels great value. As a super lazy developer it's great as the burden of all that mechanical 'stuff'…
