Phones are already getting NPUs / TPUs / Neural Engines / whatever fancy marketing term they can come up with.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

It sounds like you’re facing a common challenge where non-technical stakeholders rely heavily on AI-generated solutions without fully understanding their feasibility or limitations. Here’s a strategy to address this issue:

1. Educate About AI Limitations: Schedule a brief, informal session with the artists to explain the capabilities and limitations of AI tools like ChatGPT. Emphasize that while ChatGPT can be a great source for ideas, it doesn’t have the expertise to fully understand the technical specifics and constraints of your game engine. 2. Establish a Collaborative Process: Propose a structured process for idea generation and validation. This could involve initial brainstorming sessions where artists can freely share ideas (including those inspired by AI), followed by a technical review where you assess feasibility and provide alternatives if necessary. 3. Create a Shared Understanding: Use simple analogies or examples to explain why certain suggestions aren’t feasible. Avoid technical jargon to make your explanations more accessible. 4. Encourage Learning: Offer to share resources or conduct short educational sessions about the basics of game engine technology. This helps bridge the knowledge gap and fosters a better understanding of what is technically achievable. 5. Acknowledge and Value Their Input: Recognize the artists’ creativity and their role in the ideation process. Make it clear that their input is valuable, but needs to be aligned with technical possibilities. 6. Feedback Loop: After implementing a suggestion, whether from the artists or ChatGPT, show the outcome and explain why it worked or didn’t work. This practical demonstration can be a powerful learning tool. 7. Open Communication: Encourage artists to ask questions if they don’t understand your explanations. Promote a culture where seeking clarification is seen as a positive step towards better collaboration.

By approaching the situation with an emphasis on education, collaboration, and mutual respect, you can help your colleagues understand the complexities of your work without undermining their use of AI tools or seeming condescending.

I just use the 80 20 rule:

- estimate at least 20 days

- multiply by 20

I always use the 80 20 rule for estimating stuff:

1. Everything takes at least 80 days (or hours if I‘m generous).

2. Multiply the result from step 1 by 20.

> I've yet to see the groundbreaking innovation that I am missing in the smartphone charging area that was suppressed by EU regulation.

Of course you don't see it, the innovation was stifled by the regulation! /s

I don’t know if there is a _current_ fanbase of The Hoff in Germany. But back then, Knight Rider and Baywatch were huge here and _I‘ve been looking for freedom_ was one of the most played songs. And then there is the Berlin Wall incident.

Btw. - and maybe this is mentioned somewhere in the twitter thread - the reason we add the extra day to February is because that used to be the last month of the year, hence months september, october, november, december having names that reference 7, 8, 9, 10.

Is it like Eclipse RAP, just for Java FX? How does it compare to Gluon?

It sounds a lot like Eclipse RAP / RWT which is basically swt in the browser. The biggest downside is that every user has a heavyweight session on the server that holds all the UI state. I think Vercel is also a bit similar to this model.

So having built a few services that offer a signup, it's typically simple to make the service _send_ emails and receive the token through the browser for validation. It's all synchronous with actions that the user initiates. To build something like this you'd need an email inbox, which services typically don't have.
