Don't worry Europeans: you aren't missing out.
A pretty funny analysis I saw:
Before Minecraft city (2007–2013): 5–3 in the playoffs — 62.5% win rate
After starting the city (2014–2025): 3–9 in the playoffs — 25.0% win rate
I've also had issues with severely out of date product results.
This is cool. A few small thoughts:
- would love to be able to disable podcasts / anything non music related. it's my #1 gripe with the official Spotify client today.
- Winamp buttons shouldn't remain "pressed" in that play state
- Winamp doesn't like being stuck to one edge of the screen, after putting there and interacting it will often jump inward a bit
- Winamp could use the EQ in collapsed mode
- Would be nice for Winamp to remember its position (i think it grabs the NW corner of the large player every time?
Agreed. Same thing on desktop: Apple is pulling Windows-style stuff like putting ads in the OS and forcibly bundling software (just try deleting News.app on MacOS) only because Windows has meanwhile reached even lower lows.
Is the GitHub project the same as the videos? Seems like no.
Gruber has a ridiculous knee-jerk response to anything the EU does, so hardly a surprise he didn't come to the table with a sober facts-based response.
The design is on point and the numbers look great. I want one.
So strange to write a whole post with Claude giving the best results and Grok consistently the worst, but awarding Grok the winner because at least it did the worst fastest?
It won't surprise most people here that this guy's past comments have a real weird focus on race!
Still a better outcome than tossing your ethics overboard.
I was very vehement about needing to stay in Chromium — until I tried Zen browser and it turns out I didn’t! (Unless I wanted to watch Prime Video)
A crazy and lucky bailout for Cursor + investors.
> LLMS are good at "find me a two week vacation two months from now"?
Yes?

edit: Just tested it with that exact prompt on Claude. It asked me who I was traveling with, what type of trip and budget (with multiple choice buttons) and gave me a detailed itinerary with links to buy the flights ( https://www.kayak.com/flights/ORD-LIS/2026-06-13/OPO-ORD/202... )
As the article says, Back was very interested in methods of covering one's tracks.
Yeah, that would be a real scummy thing to do!
They’re talking about the judges on the Sony/Betamax case, not the new one.
Complete waste for anything math related for me. Did act as a proper gateway into coding though!
It doesn't say longest either.
Isn't the point of homophones that they sound like the equivalent word, thus gory, grim, grisly, scary?
How many memecoins can get pumped and dumped?
It looks great but I can't imagine I'll be up to the cleaning protocol.
For outdoor use, I've had some decent success with the app Vivid which hijacks various MacOS abilities to superbrighten your display: https://www.getvivid.app/
Great work! I’d love to see a proper BTS or case study.
Better than or more cheaply.
Love it though the way cut sheets of rolled paper will curl is pretty annoying.
