Yes have gotten that before the hundred billion dollar billing alert. Are you ignoring it? Unit error doesn’t do this does it? Maybe they were hir with malware?

It's a good game. A little easier than wordle because you can go back and forth with variations on a few words by adding s and ed. Maybe a harder variant could be you go to the next level with a new set of letters still adding one more. Another variant could be you have to solve like a stack of them, so like you have 5 of these then to get to the next level all 5 have to progress, each with a different pool of letters.

I had the same exact feeling. Python is so natural that I also feel it is hard to beat human reading-wise. When I first learned python, I remember thinking that the professor I was watching online was writing in pseudocode just to explain some sorting concept. Little did I know it was runnable Python. It was a laughable moment at my own experience at least. It was so easy to understand I genuinely thought runnable Python was a made up on the fly programming simplification. That's why I recommend to non-dev technical people to learn Python if they want to learn how to program. Now it's different I guess the Claude/ChatGPT/Grok/Copilot/Gemini does everything but still maybe you want to learn at least one programming language so you can officially be a bit more powerful than a vibe coder. That something can be Python.

Wow this particular game is huge feature wise. I would be more keen to look at and make my own tiny subsection of what this game has, like just the launch, just the landing, just the orbit, just the rocket firing in space, could be fun.

I find that agents can use charts pretty well though. Maybe it would be interesting to see a comparison of an agent making charts for you based on a prompt and some data directly into Javasript it looks like, versus the same agent making the charts for you in Flint.

I see, thanks. Maybe it could be cool to make a light branch for personal sim projects.

You mentioned Claude Code makes drafts. Does rowboat have a terminal area that is fully compatible with claude code? How does claude code then access my emails?

Interesting. Do you think people could really use openmct for a fun display or is it quite a heavy project to try to work with for that.

jayzer01 — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:20:13 +0000

I had a look at this and I would plan to use this once launched to the public if the price point is good. I think other ai devs who work often on the move might find it interesting too. I haven’t tested it though, if all the plugins work in Claude code for example, or if any friction setting up new ones.

Interesting take. Yes this is very important in many go to market plans to be able to deploy on multiple operating systems without hiring new people that are experts in each one, or spending a lot of time on different deployments.

Are people excited about the capabilities of 5.6 over competing LLMs?

I didn't think it was so bad either. I guess it is all a matter of perspective.

I like it. It might be more helpful with train stations filled in. Pedestrians may want to take public transportation, or use that as a landmark.

Generals. I never played this one. 2003? So you have to buy it on steam then this installer will allow you to play it on iPad?

This is pretty funny. One thing that I like about the pomodoro method is the ticking of a timer though. On the other hand maybe if it's quiet it won't bother other people.

I mainly use mac apps, so I couldn't tell. Is it really that bad?
