Wish the Oblivion remaster was available on macOS. Unreal can target macOS so it's certainly possible.

"Canada has been very abusive of the United States for many years" is what you say if you're lying.

And if you want to know what most Americans are aware of when it comes to Trump and Musk's actions, look at foxnews.com. There's almost always a complete distraction as the top headline.

The tariffs are a way for Trump to raise taxes without having to go through the usual process (because the usual process would block it). Surprised I don't see more of this take.
It's an extra cost Americans will pay on most goods, that goes to the US government. That's what a tax is.

Today Apple opens the build engine from Xcode. It’s an open source library designed to create build systems.

Swift.org - The Next Chapter in Swift Build Technologies
Swift continues to grow in popularity as a cross-platform language supporting a wide variety of use cases, with support on a variety of embedded devices, form factors that encompass wearables to server, and a wide variety of operating systems. As Swift expands, there’s value in investing in matching cross-platform build tools that provide a powerful, consistent, and flexible experience across the ecosystem.

OpenAI's Operator demo was underwhelming. Looks like what Anthropic was doing two months ago. Demo stuck to a few sites that seem like it was explicitly trained for.

Where is AI going? I think the parallels with how humans think are going to prove useful in how AI advances.
When we sleep, we integrate short term memory into long term memory. AI version will be updating model weights based on context, which will take time.

Security questionnaires from clients get more demanding every year. Current ask is if we have time-based privilege escalation including an approval from the client for each request.
Nothing wrong with this in principle but it's a lot to ask from a small company; almost nobody does this today.

I don't understand FFXIV's policy of making you buy the full game client on every platform you want to play on. Want to play on PS5, Mac and PC? You need to buy the full game 3 times.

Playing with the cline.bot VSCode extension. It's the real thing, but it basically requires Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is an expensive model to run with the number of tokens cline throws at it.
Tried with some of the free models on open router and it can do some simple things, but gets lost easily.

I was trying to hire a student and the placement service asked me to "verify my identity" by scanning and uploading my driver's license. No thanks. But that just costs the student a placement.

With the "apply for all the jobs with AI" tools available to job seekers, hiring managers need to use countermeasures to filter. This sucks for everyone. What's the solution? In-person hiring events and networking are tough for remote workers.

They can write code from scratch no problem, but need them to add a field to a page that also requires styling, an API update, validation and a database update? GitHub Workspaces tries, and gets so close, but every time it’s been more work than doing it myself.

Been on kind of a roll starting new things lately (nothing too big, just little side projects) and I’ve been trying to use some of the newer AI tools to help. They’re great for self contained problems, but so few real tasks are like that.

A better interview style for this era is showing AI responses and asking to pick the right one and explain why. The skill is being able to be productive working with all the tools available. AI generates dangerously wrong crap and detecting that takes experience. That's what you need to test for.
