I drove one of those for many years. Inherited it from my father who bought it new. Its a cool car and I miss it but, no matter how you slice it, owning a 60 year old car is a luxury I couldn't afford.

In my experience rewriting code gets more expensive the further you get into a project. My take is to try to get your rewrites out of the way early if you can.

If you find a good answer, let me know! There are lots of great character artists out there but finding someone to create a capsule for a game that doesn't feature a character is more difficult.

Its pretty common for programmer time estimates to only include the time spent writing the code without considering testing, debugging or, you know, actually shipping something functional. If you don't care whether or not it works using LLMS to help right code might actually be faster.

If you've got it on your phone, A Dark Room is a great game to play when the power is out.

So they disguised a contract software development house as AI so investors would throw money at them? Sounds like the 2025 version of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pets.com

Meh, almost all new rocket designs fail a few times while they sort things out. However 3 similar failures in a row leaves me wondering if Musk has alienated too many of his staff and the SpaceX engineering team no longer has the skills to fix issues when they come up.

I got a front row seat to watch a lot of the politics around the writing of the DVD and Blue Ray standards. DVD was, honestly, a miracle but it is also a bunch of parts glued together based a mix of technical need and who owned which patent. Blue Ray is kind of a mess but that's another story.
