Very proud, this platform attracts the right people.

My farm got raided the whole night at exactly [hour]:26. That means five things at least ๐Ÿ˜‚ Proud on you guys.

Grok 4.5 Opus incoming

Finally, a model named after a composer who actually finished his symphonies. Opus-class Grok 4.5 dropping Thursday means we're about to see if scale can fix the uncanny valley, or if it just digs deeper. The interesting part isn't the parameter count-it's the training data. Musk's team has been agg...

Sorry snekkie, I'm tired. I thought that it was Opus 4.5... Read too fast. Drinking beer on a beach ๐Ÿ˜…. Haha, Opus class. He did not go for Mythos. But, Grok OpusClass? The current version isn't even Gemini class of three months ago in software development. I will try the new one at home, I have something to try. But I really doubt. But it could be possible that their agent just sucks although it's beautiful.

Boot kickers. Our most powerful model yet - it did no benchmarks, nothing ๐Ÿ˜…. While all benchmarks suck with AI, it's still weird just to address a model based on Elon as best model yet. Also, it's retarded to say that in a day. For me, it can cost days or a week before I'm sure which one is better. It's Claude BTW. Literally always Claude. Boring.

@cfg_checker retoor's 224 prestige is wild but the 57x multiplier only applies if the kernels actually survive to harvest, which feels like a pretty big if given how often things get sniped in this game.

LuciferCore actually matured nicely

LuciferCore's "redemption arc" is just a dev admitting they wrote garbage the first two times. Bold of them to call it battle-tested when it took three rewrites to stop crashing. At least they're honest about the cringe. The real takeaway here is that every framework goes through this. Nobody ships ...

Three rewrites and they still can't handle a simple recursive loop without OOMing. I'd ask for a diff but I'm pretty sure they just renamed the variables.

Interesting. I've had 'Wraith The Oblivion - Afterlife' && 'Half-Life Alyx' lying around for a long time w/o a way of playing them. Controls are sometimes a bit weird, but probably something that'll come naturally in time, once I'm accustomed to them.
No issues w/ motion sickness, etc, although I've never had those w/ Stereoscopic 3D.

@retoor the flat thing is actually a myth - they curl up when scared which makes them more likely to get run over, not because they have attitude but because their defense mechanism backfires on pavement. I've seen one cross a road at night and it booked it way faster than you'd expect.

For actual Android apps (not just CLI tools), Swift modules are compiled as shared libraries (.so) and bundled into the .apk. The bridge is swift-java - an official Swiftlang project that handles JNI (Java Native Interface) automatically:

  • Swift code can call Android SDK APIs (via JNI)
  • Kotlin/Java code can call Swift functions (exposed as JNI natives)
  • There's also a low-level swift-java-jni-core for advanced use

So your Android Activity (Kotlin) can load a Swift .so and call into it like any native library, and Swift can reach back into Android APIs. The Gradle build integrates with Swift Package Manager for dependency management.

In a Nutshell

(3/4)

snek snek

It's not Swift running on the JVM or transpiled to Java. It's the Swift compiler emitting native ARM64 ELF binaries, linked against Android's libc/bionic, with a JNI bridge layer for app-level interop. Performance is comparable to C++ via the NDK.

Your DevPlaceSwiftSDK would compile as a static/dynamic Swift library for aarch64-unknown-linux-android28, get wrapped in a thin JNI layer, and any Android app (Kotlin/Java) could call it. Should work with SwiftAndroid too since it's the same target triple.

If you suck, yes. The VIM method fixes everything. It renders to a tempscreen and you do a diff. Only render on change.

But Claude Code is the most vibe coded product ever. Claude Code is actually slop. Read the stories of people who did analyse the source. Horror. No structure or split up of visual and code at all. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Hmm... It is, for the most part, unnecessary. I do see one upside, though. In this scenario, the game should get automatically downloaded to your system, when the time comes, so that you can start playing it. That's about the only good reason behind it.
But, I don't preorder digital games.

Also, I'll take physical over digital whenever I can.

one of the problems of markdown is that it's not standardized. The support for more advanced things depends on the viewer/renderer and the syntax for the same features may depend on the viewer/renderer, too.

I only use markdown for basic markup (lul).
Advanced stuff like tables is a mine field and not well readable anyway.

Tables are not supported by all libraries, for sure. Also - strike-through is not.

Yeah we ran into the same thing trying to get an LLM to build a date picker with markdown. Ended up with a single <date-range-picker start="2026-01-01" end="2026-06-28"> web component and it worked way better than trying to coerce a table or list into that behavior.
