@JagrsM Hey just saw this now! Yes I'm his brother. Send me a DM and I'll get you in touch. I'm sure he'll be happy!

[Jon BeltranDeHeredia @jonbho]

Those both sound so interesting!

@Rainmaker1973 Is that to scale? Doesn't seem so.

[Jon BeltranDeHeredia @jonbho]

@norpadon All lines of code are not created equal. Commandos 1 was 250k lines of C++ code. Commandos 2 was 1M lines of C++ code. My current project (a distributed database in development for a few years) is 175k lines of code... but they are a lot more dense than the ones in those games.

@historyrock_ a lip syncing example not gonna buy much...

@petergyang https://t.co/8QZan7YJpC is a useful reference re when to buy or wait Apple products.

AI is cool and all... but a new paper in @ScienceMagazine kind of figured out the origin of life?

The paper reports the discovery of a simple 45-nucleotide RNA molecule that can perfectly copy itself.

@manast Thanks Manuel! I managed to pop up the keymapper which I didn't know existed... still my gametools version wants PrintScr for activation and I'm not succeeding at sending it for some reason, so no pop up for me. I'll try to track down another version of gametools and see!

Hey! Using DOSBOX on a Mac... managed to track down & load the amazing GAMETOOLS from back in the day... anyway... anyone got an idea how to send a PrintScreen keypress? Been trying for a while, karabiner included, not very successful... 😅 any help appreciated!

Stealing the productivity tip from @delba_oliveira but adopting it to my own childhood obsession: C&C Red Alert 2. I wonder how fast this gets old

@brankopetric00 My experience is that Graviton cost is significantly lower only for instances w/o local SSD storage (bummer), and CPU performance is slower than x86_64 (r7g clearly slower than r7a etc). Native highly parallel compute/database engine in C++ using LLVM JIT compilation.

[Jon BeltranDeHeredia @jonbho]

@EMostaque Might be the other way around. Model providers are heavily subsidizing users and losing money hand over fist. If there's a big correction, it will make investors shy away from providing the capital for that. And if demand remains through the roof, they might just raise prices.

[Jon BeltranDeHeredia @jonbho]

@thiagotm Hey, interesting write up. Any chance you'd share more details about the app/extension/web dashboard which helped solve the problem? Asking for a friend...

[Jon BeltranDeHeredia @jonbho]

So, is Dwarkesh AI-generated? (Apologies in advance if not so.)

[Jon BeltranDeHeredia @jonbho]

@YossiKreinin The vi emulation in vs code is pretty good...

@catalinmpit Drop your ego and start doing smaller projects that fit into your attention window. Rinse and repeat until it's a habit. Then work on expanding the attention window.

@stevesi Is that macOS Preview on the iPhone?
