I enjoyed playing GBA game the most on my Anbernic. They do feel good to play in the way the previous generation just doesn't.

Good pixel art is quite difficult to make. This default pixel art usually isn't; it's just not that great.

You can't one shot a perfect app with AI. You definitely can create a pretty complex and beautiful production-ready app with AI in a couple of days or weeks depending on what exactly you're building.

I now have my own link catalog, read-latter app and an RSS reader. Tailored to work exactly how I like. Hardened, with automated backup, and external users for the RSS app. It works. It takes learning, some knowledge of terms and very high-level practices, plus design thinking, but I haven't written a line of code for these.

I consistently enjoy Martin's writing on LLM, this post in particular.
Why would any publisher want them? Who exactly tried?

As a publisher, I'd want consistent subscription revenue. The goal is to convince users to pay after they hit the paywall several times.

Do you imply that you never order anything online?
The problem with micropayments isn't the tech really, it's that only the users want them but not any publisher. Which is completely reasonable.

The paper was still expensive and there wasn't yet as much demand for books.

The same people who want minimalism here in the comments are angry at Microsoft for removing half the features in any control panel inside Windows with every release.

Shows how difficult it is to design and build software at scale.

Re:The Golden Age of British Ice Cream on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @03:49AM (#49179785)
However natural ice cream can be, it's still a buttload of fats and sugars. Fine in moderation but could be bad. Still, I highly doubt ice cream alone is the reason for high obesity.
From everything I read it seems that they're only up on the Anthropic stock and that doesn't account for newer clients who invested later.
$169 million is not too big for an endowment, especially considering how much they had been raising AND spending in the years prior.

Long-term it'd be best for Wikipedia if it was self-funded through this, like Harvard, for instance.

So change the job if you don't want it.
If a union would force companies to keep positions that no longer require a human I wouldn't agree with it anyway.
I understand why factory workers or store clerks might want a union but I'd never understand why tech workers should.

I guess except the game developers but the most realistic threat vector for them is the studio shutting down, so a union wouldn't really help.

Seems it'd be far more reasonable to direct the excess funds into an endowment of sorts instead of spending it on other areas.

What's esoteric is not the format specifically but whether people are knowingly using it.

RSS lost when browsers dropped its native support. Would be interesting to see a world where Chrome/Safari still had clients for it.

Rentech surely exists but you can't become their LP, which allows the median hedge fund to exist, yes.

As for the strategy, that's the idea but all of them market themselves on the returns first and foremost.

Re:A directory of people who love RSS on Saturday August 01, 2026 @03:48PM (#49137751)
What does this mean exactly?
Re:A directory of people who love RSS on Saturday August 01, 2026 @03:47PM (#49137735)
RSS is the only widespread enough name for this thing. Where you're correct is that it's silly to argue about the name of the format used by approximately three people.

I'm not too serious here but even many news media publications are just dropping it, or separate into dozens of unconnected feeds.

Re:Situational Awareness Down 67% in July in AI Stock Rout on Saturday August 01, 2026 @04:54AM (#49132495)
It was specific stocks and then he shorter some others very presciently. He was still up 80% after the collapse, you don't get that in 6 months with S&P 500.
