Ridiculous in the first place.

Forget all the AI stuff. Please make the subject editable by default. Come on Google.

Incredible. Since you’re the dev, please please please isometric camera.

The camera is very very close to isometric but as you've noticed, it's not an ortographic projection. During early access I decided against it but tbh I can't recall why. I'll go back to the drawing board on this one (or at least allow it to be enabled in settings)

It worked. Most people under 30 don't know Apple existed before the iPod / iPhone. ie: Before Jobs.


Of course it worked. Apple turned from a company that sells electronic equipment into a company that sells media consumption devices which double as fashion accessories signaling high social status. Of course the addressable market is 2-3 orders of magnitude larger.

They still sell computers, which count below 10% of the revenue, and are also partly fashion accessories.

Just get rid of cheapstake garbage all around the OS and you’re golden.


Yes this is pretty common in large enterprise-ey tech companies that are successful. There are usually a small group of vocal members that have a strong conviction and drive to make a vision a reality. This is contrary to popular belief that large companies design by committee.

Of course it works exceptionally well when the instinct turns out to be right. But can end companies if it isn’t.


Yep. There is no being nice in the business of copyright. But to be fair, they’ve owned the original base game assets.

Not to mention it’s a reverse engineered version of the base game.


> There is no being nice in the business of copyright.

Sure there is. The concept of "copyleft" is literally about using copyright to be nice.


Just tried this. Holy fuck.

I'd take an army of high-school graduate LLMs to build my agentic applications over a couple of genius LLMs any day.

This is a whole new paradigm of AI.


A billion stupid LLMs don't make a smart one, they just make one stupid LLM that's really fast at stupidity.


I think maybe there are subsets of problems where you can have either a human or a smart LLM write a verifier (e.g. a property-based test?) and a performance measurement and let the dumb models generate candidates iterate on candidates?


Yeah, maybe, but then it would make much more sense to run a big model than hope one of the small ones randomly stumbles upon the solution, just because the possibility space is so much larger than the number of dumb LLMs you can run.


I don't work this way, so this is all a hypothetical to me, but the possibility space is larger than _any_ model can handle; models are effectively applying a really complex prior over a giant combinatorial space. I think the idea behind a swarm of small models (probably with higher temperature?) on a well-defined problem is akin to e.g. multi-chain MCMC.


Man, I'm in the exact opposite camp. 1 smart model beats 1000 chaos monkeys any day of the week.


What did you try and how?



I see; the chatbot demo in the Taalas page. If they could produce this cost effectively it would definitely be valuable. The only challenge would be getting models to market before their next revision.


When that genrates 10k of output slop in less latency than my web server doing some crud shit....amazing!


With so many things being called Flow these days, this one is probably the most fitting.


I’ve been following share prices for Micron, Seagate, Western Digital and Sandisk.

They’ve all pretty much 5x’ed YTD. That’s completely wild.
