Just that feeling of hectic panic distilled into a GBA. Sadly lost my copy but I still have the box and the memories.

That would be a sight

I’m expecting towering synths with a forest of patch cables. Ought to be pretty good!

I think it’ll do ok, it’s europhillic and sincere and I like his energy. The song itself is a bit meh though. Needs a screeching keytar solo around 2.40.

Always good to see a fellow digidrive enthusiast!

There’s no accounting for taste

So yeah, I think at least for now coding is not yet "solved". Although I am looking forward to my retirement by the seaside so I hope they hurry up with solving it. As long as they can also solve captialism and inequality while they're at it.

But these things still fall down at simple hurdles and get completely stuck. They really seem to lack actual reasoning so there's no ability to properly interrogate a problem. They just keep spitting out plausible replies.

Used up all my credits in the process, and probably boiled a small pond. I had been dead impressed by the first 24 hours as it spat out quite an impressive thing on the first go. And it was able to do a few small revisions fairly accurately.

Every 6 months or so I do a proper test of AI coding tools to see if I'm about to replaced by the machine. I spent nearly a full day encouraging Claude Code to fix a small bug. Finally went in the code to see for myself and it was a single line fix, which I had already suggested to the robot.

Half Minotaur is just a cow I suppose? 😂

The funny thing is it’s covered in an elaborate timeline for an experimental play, written by a previous occupant. I’ve never invested in any chalk or erasers. 😧

I feel like I have 100 different devkits and VR helmets to constantly plug in and unplug so I just gave up on management. Embrace the chaos 😎

This is where… man how are you all so tidy?

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Speed Dates is no feeble full-motion video game – it’s a bold art film | Dominik Diamond With original dialogue in Turkish, this shuffling of potential partners in a sequence of meaningless encounters ranks with the finest auteur movies

“This makes no sense until I realise this is obviously a homage to French New Wave cinema.” Fantastic review of the subversive Speed Dates - Winter Edition.

Giant secures $8m to expand AI-powered storytelling for children AI-powered storytelling platform Giant has raised $8 million to scale and expand its interactive offerings for kids.

Oh great, telling stories to children is such a chore, I'm glad AI can do that now so I can spend more time grovelling at the feet of tech billionaires for scraps.

… so much better than just installing software on an actual server and uploading a few files.

and then just figure out how to read logs from your failed deploy, and check the correct config files got built, but the file system is transient so you can’t actually check, and, and, and, and

and you’re not hosting your code on something other than github, and actually it doesn’t always work with github either,

and where their config tools differ from dockers suggested config style, and the make sure you have the right version of docker which supports the commands you’re using, and you’re containers are running on the right architecture,

trawling though the dockerfile documentation then learn how compose files stomp all over that, then figure out how your particular cloud provider handles containers, and how their proprietary tools for uploading images works,

Docker is great. I can configure a server stack and know that it will run the same way in production. All you have to do is spend endless hours
