I actually don't know! Never had a voyage 200. I'd love to hear your experiences with it.

For TI-89, I recently updated the FAT engine to have height mappings. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/dzoba/ti-89-raycasting-with-z

I tried the new qwen model in Codex CLI and in Roo Code and I found it to be pretty bad. For instance I told it I wanted a new vite app and it just started writing all the files from scratch (which didn’t work) rather than using the vite CLI tool.

Is there a better agentic coding harness people are using for these models? Based on my experience I can definitely believe the claims that these models are overfit to Evals and not broadly capable.

“Web 3” was crypto

Will this be called Web 4.0?

iPhones are now so big we need a special carrying device for it.

Please bring back the mini :’(

I’d also be interested in this. Especially for Macs

I’m very excited for this. An early question I have: what would need to be done to make this a “thinking” model?

Thinking about what Jony Ive said about “owning the unintended consequence” of making screens ubiquitous, and how a voice controlled, completely integrated service could be that new computing paradigm Sam was talking about when he said “ You don’t get a new computing paradigm very often. There have been like only two in the last 50 years. … Let yourself be happy and surprised. It really is worth the wait.”

I suspect we’ll see stronger voice support, and deeper app integrations in the future. This is OpenAI dipping their toe in the water of the integrations part of the future Sam and Jony are imagining.

So strange to think about how Vine could’ve won this and an American company could’ve been the leader here.

I would love to be able to turn off Instagram Reels on iOS like is apparently possible on Android.

I recently discovered and have been fairly happy with PixelLab - an AI pixel art generator. I feel like they have a ways to go in features and UX, but it shows promise.

Is this... a database? A set of react components? An app? Should be much more immediately understandable.

Yes! This me and it is mind boggling how poor the experience is.

They block me from subscribing because I have a custom domain for my personal email. I’d gladly give them money but they say “Sign up with your personal email” when I try to subscribe. Such poor design

I’m curious if you know of a similar tool for generating tilesets for top down RPG like games? I’ve tried Midjourney, which makes nice art, but it can’t be used in a game.
