Cross-platform Mac apps?

I have a couple projects that have completely stalled because none of the frontier models could advance any further with them - I'm going to give fable a try at them this coming weekend.

I believe the "you are an expert software engineer" thing puts them into a "mindset" of cosplaying a software engineer - whereas I get astounding results by talking to them in the information-dense, jargon-heavy mode I use with my peers. I can't prove it but I believe that places my session in a better place in latent space.

ymmv

Yeah but what if you sold shoe subscriptions because mostly people only wear one pair of shoes at a time -- but some people were using a service called OpenToe that was grabbing 50-100 shoes at a time?

I think it's funny that humans think humans are uniquely advanced. The brain thinks the brain is the most awesome machine in the universe :-)

I lost the use of my right hand in '06.

It's amazing how quickly you adapt. I have to put my mouse to the left of my keyboard and whereas before I was a touch typist, I now have to look.

And I can use a standard keyboard without undue hassle.

I get that a submarine can't swim.

I'm just not so sure of importance of the difference between swimming and whatever the word for how a submarine moves is.

If it looks like thinking and quacks like thinking...

You require something the bot won't have that a human would.

Anybody may watch the demo screen of an arcade game for free, but you have to insert a quarter to play — and you can have even greater access with a key.

> and you’ve explicitly left a sign saying ‘you are not welcome here’

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people Need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat And I went in to ask him why He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man I think you'll do" So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that Huh, me workin' for you"

Crank up the temperature on the AI and you'll see plenty of creativity.

With creativity comes insanity, though. At least for your friendly neighborhood LLM.

Back of the napkin: 1 gigawatt would power roughly 1.43 billion 6502s.

Oh, I had just deployed it the one time and left it running for a day.

Now I'm in the middle of trying to turn it into a real product so if anything is currently deployed to staging it may or may not be functional at all.
