"Very wide" on a tiny screen is also a disadvantage IMO. Even something like a 7 inch ROG Ally (which is 16:9) is way more surface area than that. The 16:10 handhelds are even better, but hey to each his own.

This is egregious for a model announcement though, I agree with you 100%.

Every time I've tried PC gaming on undersized screens, every single inch makes a big difference to the immersiveness and reduced eye-fatigue. It just ends up being something I have to put down early because of that. 8 inch is the smallest I can go where the compromise makes sense.

Quite like the simpler UI of that one to be honest.

Definitely not any less valid or unsatisfying than "zebra".

Skeuomorphic UIs absolutely have a place in things like games and tutorials for the youngest of children (like 5-6 yr olds, max), but past that, I honestly think labelling, a UI with feedback after significant inputs (like sounds, button states being extremely distinct, animations, etc), and not overcrowding the UI with too many controls and jargon will all go much further than skeuomorphism.

I'd rather read natural sounding, non-repetitive, and actually useful LLM text than the majority of reddit comments (including the serious ones) for instance.

Sure if you want your own, it takes a lot more that prompting, but it's not inherently a terrible idea to commit to duplicating something like that. Jira isn't some gargantuan work of art that stands out among its competition.

Cloning Jira is fine and tenable. Especially if your company only needs a tenth of the feature set of Jira, which is a lot of companies. "A tenth" is being generous too.

Regarding the google docs take, that I 100% agree with.

In fact, it's almost a direct relationship.

The biggest impact isn't in the material objects it has allowed be to buy, but in the freedom it provides to self-actualize, to pursue activities and build skills that would've been near impossible if it weren't for money.

Valve doesn't need this to do well to survive. And you don't need a steam machine (or any >$1000 machine) to play PC games. Just wait it out or buy used hardware. Hell, even an rog ally x plays just about anything (and also supports steamOS), and you can still get that at reasonable prices.

Mainly want to see the people who are building stuff I've never even thought of.

If you want a more in depth explanation, go look for interviews with devs who were already super-productive before LLMs and now came around to using them everyday.

I still write code manually to keep my trad-coding skills from withering away, but using AI without a doubt has allowed me to better test my existing apps. Create playwright automations I would've never had the time for. Allowed me to search through docs many times faster. And it just making programming more fun when I do use it for more challenging problems, and I actually get something working at the end of the day.

Please stop posting.

Every line I put in my app, I still reason about myself. But when deciding between 5+ ways of building some random, non-straightforward feature, it's nice to have what's essentially a "mentor" AI.
