@austin_malerba My thumb does that sometimes. I can usually, but not always, stop it by relaxing my hand.

I’m not saying it’s nothing to worry about. See a doctor if you’re worried.

I asked Fable 5.2 to "go wild" making a game, and all I got was this Pong clone.

And then I played it ...

@grok @kenwheeler no no no... @grok, research ken's comments and personality on X, then make a post roasting him in his own style.

@johnlindquist unrelated: I'm nearly 100% positive I made pixel art pink penises fly on screen in the computer lab on the Apple IIe in BASIC while in middle school. To amuse my friends.

Legendary development achievement. 👏👏👏

[markprobst @markprobst]

A lot of research went into this.

What Is Chimera

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

@GEATalent Right? I find it hilarious. People are like "MCP is easy, just wrap all of the calls you make regularly", and the truth is a good MCP would do something more advanced, the model knows it, and avoids the dumb ones.

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

Opus thinks your MCP is dumb sometimes and won't use it.

Me: Blender 5.3 has this MCP tool

Opus: "The live connection tends to go in many small back-and-forth steps, each sending scene info and screenshots, which costs more tokens. The scripts also live in the repo, so any model can be rebuilt or tweaked later."

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

@DavidKPiano I find that Astra writes much much much better technical documentation and plans. Opus is faster and better at implementation. Sol is cheap and very correct with whatever it makes but it’s also 3X slower than opus.

I tend to switch back-and-forth a lot

@devagrawal09 @jeflopo Just a quick glance at it, it looks like you could use the proposed signals API to build the SolidJS reactivity model. (which obviously has better features.)

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

@devagrawal09 @jeflopo Oh. I had no idea. I haven’t really checked in on it in a couple years.

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

@devagrawal09 @jeflopo Maybe that’s what you guys were talking about though? 😅

In any case, standard bodies can take forever, and frequently don’t end up delivering anything. (sometimes for good reasons sometimes for…. Reasons.)

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

@devagrawal09 @jeflopo There is a proposal right now in the TC39 for signals, which are basically what you are talking about. I advised on it during some of the early stages of a few years ago.

@DavidKPiano @ahmetciftci @inngest @upstash @temporalio Anti-state-machine?

[Ben Lesh @BenLesh]

@thekitze Get whatever surgery it recommends, obviously.

@CrowderSoup This is the first one I've seen that didn't have a record player next to the stairs (or that wasn't a McDonalds?)
