Is there anyway to get the classic version of Lemmings (on Amiga/PC) playable on the Switch?

Super smart but it's one of those ideas that hopefully gives someone else in this space another idea that leads to something that could mass scale and I would buy. Love the ingenuity though.

We spend a small fortune trying to get ontology right as it's so critical to real world success of enterprise AI. Curious if this could actually help us.

One of the coolest things I have recently seen but would love some details. It also got me thinking a about this recent Neuralink post.

Many would be thinking that, including me. Nefarious agents powered by LLMs operating 24x7 with a singular goal of finding attack vectors.

No, a very large software company. Have a team structure so not dealing with day to day but ultimately responsible. Have spent last year blending the team with engineers who have been interested in getting into product. Ultimately see that will be direction of travel across the industry.

PMs ultimately take bets. Some to many will fail and if they are great a few will pay off in an excessive way. I have yet to see anything in the AI field that make better bets than my best PMs (I manage 50 of them) but as soon as I do the whole calculus changes. I joke with them about it. They also joke back it could happen to me (which it absolutely could). We live in interesting times.

Largely speaking eating is an activity that only involves yourself. Whereas, writing and thinking are largely activities to communicate ideas between yourself and others. Basically it matters more how this is done.

New comment by monkeydust in "Why do we have so many meetings?"

monkeydust — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 16:17:10 +0000

So lets extrapolate to the very near future.

Getting work done will require combination of biological and silicon agents working together.

Will our silicon counterparts also want as many meetings as biological equivalent to get the same work done?

Feel I need to play around with these new breed of classifiers so came up with this personal use case yesterday whilst at gym:

"If update from select group of individuals on WhatsApp is classified as urgent then interrupt my music."

Doable?

Right. There's plenty of software simulators in racing so was surprised their testing harness doesn't use one.

And also Google is public listed company and the other two (for now) are private. I think that fact does have a strong bearing on how they operate.
