  • @sinvega based partly on your MOO3 retro for RPS I reinstalled the game (first time in 20 years) and gave it a fair shake, and you're right - w/ the benefit of time it's admirable for having at least tried SOMETHING new, even if every neat new idea is undercut by some other system that doesn't quite work. Like the "sweet spot" colony thing, which makes diff planets desirable for different races (instead of just "Terran best") and hints...

  • Today was fun! 🤩

  • @jareddipane 😭😭😭

  • @jareddipane Though tempting, probably not worth it on balance.

  • @jareddipane I see AirPods Max in your future

  • Don’t want to say I called Apple ditching leather two years ago, but… https://www.imore.com/if-apple-serious-about-environment-it-needs-ditch-leather

  • So I have a confession to make: I tend to play #AmongUs a fair bit, especially #TheOtherRoles mod. And there were some bugs in there that are annoying. So I started digging into the code, managed to create two fixes for annoying gameplay changes, and one fix for a weird bug in the settings dialogue. I have opened three pull requests for the three fixes, potentially it will take a long while because upstream seems to be a bit MIA and hasn't released in a while. 1/2

  • On my quest to get my colorful calendar displayed, I failed. xD Nextcloud works good with Android through #DAVx5 which is lovely, but seemingly the sync with #gnome to Linux (#Debian testing specifically) doesn't honor the colors. :/ Has anyone managed to get that direction working? Neither gnome calendar nor thunderbird shows the colors. Though, to test I just started #Evolution and it showed the colors - including those that receive through #ical from my university.

  • "Leitung spricht, ich versuch's nochmal bei der Endomitriose" - wenn die Telefonzentrale vom AKH zwischen Endokrinologie und Endomitriose nicht unterscheiden kann, wird's schwierig. >.<

  • By far the biggest change in the agentic coding era has been that I'm no longer chained to my computer all day. Just got more done by sending a few messages from my iPhone on the driving range than I would normally achieve in an eight-hour work day at my desk.

  • So I guess we're all just agreed that, "it's not against the law if an AI agent does it," then? https://www.strix.ai/blog/baseten-harbor-github-pat-takeover

  • A skill we need to learn is how to ratchet up our ambitions until we uncover what the models truly cannot do. And each time they're improved, to once again test the fences. Confidence and certainty in one's own workflow have become trademark signs of ignorance and complacency.

  • Codex is extremely frustrating in that when you send "steering" instructions reminding it to do the work in a certain way, it will almost always reply to acknowledge the request and then STOP ALL WORK. I've tried coaxing it to keep working in AGENTS.md, but no luck.

  • Glad people are reporting success with Siri AI, but I never had a single positive experience with it all summer. Three times yesterday I watched it spin endlessly, reply "I don't understand" to banal requests, or just blink and disappear. https://pogueman.substack.com/p/125-tests-of-the-new-ai-siri

  • First impressions: Series 12 is a massive performance improvement. Siri AI is much faster than on the 11, and for the first time the podcast app can actually play and download shows on demand without crapping out multiple times.

  • It's too bad Amphetamine for macOS is free. Given how many engineers' AI workflows depend on keeping their MacBooks awake at all hours, if only they'd charged a subscription they probably could have raised $50M at a $3B valuation by now.

  • Apple has been extremely cagey around usage limits for Private Cloud Compute, only sharing that subscribers of higher tiers of iCloud+ are allowed more usage. Well, my apps make liberal use of Apple's language models and I'm now constantly hitting my PCC usage limits. Welp!

  • A players hire A agents and B players hire C agents.

  • Opus 5.5 seems impressively competent and snappy! Get all your work done now before they nerf it to hell next week.
