Software takes longer to develop than other parts of the org want to wait.

AI is emerging as a possible solution to this decades old problem.

zppln · 6 days ago

No, the org will still have to wait for the requirements, which is what they were waiting for all along.

Am I alone in spending $1k+/month on tokens? It feels like the most useful dollars i've ever spent in my life. The software I've been able to build on a whim over the last 6 months is beyond my wildest dreams from a a year or two ago.

Care to show what you've built?

I’m glad Valve never sold out with Counter Strike. The game still has that raw brutal aesthetic that works so well with the gameplay. It’s a big part of the reason the game feels the way it does.

Other games have lots of wacky skins and stuff but the Counter Strike games never had that and hopefully never will. Some of the unofficial servers are pretty wacky which is fine as they are unofficial.

The same Valve that one day decided to put ads in spawn on de_dust2? :) They pretty much refused to fix anything related to Counter-Strike until they realized they could use it to sell the equivalent of hats.

I'd argue that the only reason Steam survived when it came out was because Valve forced people to use to play Counter-Strike. They've done better in the past 15 years though, I'll give them that!

I recorded myself trying it out to port some old apps of mine using Claude code as a first time user of it.

I'm not even a youtuber and make these to keep myself accountable, so it's not that fun to watch, but it might be in the direction of your query:

Looks promising! Thanks for sharing!

On a slightly related note... I'm kind of out of the loop wrt coding with AI. I was trying to find some youtuber working on some interesting project using AI to get a feel for how useful it could be but didn't have much luck (I didn't get past the "top 10 AI tools to use for coding" style videos). I was thinking something in the style of tsoding if you're familiar with his projects.

My limited understanding is that the F135 is massively over-powered to be capable of VTOL + push through the bulky shape of the F35, resulting in a disappointing range. I don't know that it would make sense to use it on a different platform.

zppln · 16 days ago

I was thinking more in terms of it being a newer design.

From what I've gathered there's some work being done on new engine designs within the FCAS program, but I have no idea how it's going.

Good, the EU needs its own defense industry.

zppln · 16 days ago

More specifically, we could use our own engine. Gripen E still rely on the GE F414. Europe has nothing to rival the P&W F135.

Ehm, fairly sure you can use Jira in an air-gapped environment.

The Fall of Civilizations podcast has an interesting episode about Assyria. The cities in Mesopotamia were polytheistic and each city has its own deity. Apparently the way they viewed their deities was similar to how we view sports teams. There was an expectation that if you traveled to another city, you should sacrifice to its god. They viewed inter city warfare as the gods competing in heaven.

I can recommend this episode as well. If I don't mix things up they gave some very good examples of how everyday life wasn't that much different from what it is now. Amazing how stuff like that can be communicated through identations on pieces of clay.

echelon · 2 months ago

I wonder if the tmux maintainers would be interested in switching to this?

Transitioning more software from C to Rust is a great idea.

zppln · 2 months ago

Seems like a bit entitled to expect being able to go around rewriting stuff and then have the old maintainers maintain it.
