>> ultimately out-remembering people around us

In order to remember something you need to know/learn it first.

Its also not a solved one considering basically no platforms support them.

>> that doesn't mean much. it has a lot of tests

tests don't mean much if you are not an expert on the subject

From contributions tab, it looks like 99% was vibe-coded by 1 person, and it does not look like they have any compilers background.

Edit: typo

The only way something can be “solved” if it is eliminated. Otherwise it is never solved.

>> Because AI is crushing small standalone software

The only thing AI is crushing is newcomers.

Standalone software has expertise and distribution, the only 2 things that matter and that your new software does not have.

Also the needs of a business have nothing to do with software you vibe code for yourself. Its compliance, backups, reliability. Not a few features claude did for you.

>> Incentives to reduce the value of their largest asset are not strong

Its not just incentives. It can nuke entire economy if done not carefully.

Ideally new housing supply would be slowly increasing so that prices stop growing and there are incentives to invest into other assets but at the same time not reduce the wealth people have been building for many years.

But overall it seems like the world would be a much better and prosperous place if basic need like housing would be more of a commodity than a wealth driver.

If you have housing you can spend your income on building companies, wealth, experiments etc.

If you spend 30 years buying a place to live - obviously your hands are tight pretty badly.

When you factor in all the factors (fixing issues, implementing features that were added only because it was easy and shouldn’t exist in the first place, losing skills in the process (this one is a fact), losing grip on the codebase etc - it is not cheaper at all, probably more expensive

It doesn’t matter how useful it is if it is net negative (I am not saying that it is as I don’t have the data, but very well could be).

Its not 20 years old, GeneralsX was updated like a day ago. So the game in question is very modern and cross platform.

>> well duh of course it was able to make a working ios app from a game made 20 years ago

But it didn't, thats the whole point. The game in question was updated like a day ago, not 20 years.

Fable added few config files for iOS and a gesture mapping to mouse events. It did not do any of the hard stuff.

The title is so misleading that it is probably the single reason why this made to the front page with people assuming it actually did anything hard here.

If anyone deserves the recognition - its the upstream projects that made the game modern and cross platform in the first place.

Right? All Fable did was a ported an already cross platform project to ios. Does not look like any sort of heavy lifting there, opus 4.6 would do just fine

sure, and there will be downsides.

But that data will be valuable nonetheless.
