Somewhat of an aside but, personally, I also found GTA V and Red dead redemption 2 to be boring because these games didn't respect my time. I could play for two hours and still feel like I accomplished nothing except for "interacting with the world".

'I could play for two hours and still feel like I accomplished nothing except for "interacting with the world"'

Funny how this is exactly the same sentiment I feel about NMS. Go figure, different strokes, ya know?


> I could play for two hours and still feel like I accomplished nothing except for "interacting with the world".

Two hours is like three or twelve story missions, depending on where in the story you are. Did you spend most of that time farting around doing stuff that wasn't main story [0], or are you just not really into the stories being told? IME, Rockstar's 3D games have always been not-all-that-great third-person shooters, but made up for it with the storytelling and world-building.

> ...because these games didn't respect my time.

If I were Global Overlord for a month, I'd permanently banish the sentiment "This video game doesn't respect my time". It's fine to say "This game bored me." or "I just didn't enjoy this game.". Unless we're talking about predatory "free" to "play" games [1] that survive by deliberately reaching deep into the wallets of whales, mixing pride into the discussion and claiming the injury of disrespect is very silly.

[0] ...of which Red Dead 2 has an absolute assload -most of which will bore folks to tears who don't really dig the "late 1800's outlaw going on about his day" thing-, and GTA V has a fair bit...

[1] Games that you have to pay up front to play can also belong in this category.


RDR2's intro absolutely did not respect my time. I sat down with an hour free to play it, and in that time, I did not reach a save point. There was some story, but it was very slow, and I had precisely zero interest in repeating it. I ran out of time, turned it off and never came back.

Same. I really want to play it but - I feel I need to skip the first hour to do so?

Almost all of the story missions are: 1) walk/drive/ride to this place 2) Talk to NPC 3) Do an extremely boring task (follow someone, drive somewhere, etc) 4) Walk somewhere else 5) Talk to someone else. 6) Collect XP or another reward.

Most of it is not enjoyable gameplay.


Yeah. Like, the train heist and other cool gameplay segments were fun. But the missions to go to some random town and talk to someone and escort them back? Horrible.

Don’t forget the top notch drawer rummaging simulator.

They're not the first. Each lab has its own: grok bot, codex desktop, perplexity computer, Claude whatever

Claude Whatever would actually be a pretty good product name

Only Grokbot, openclAw, hermes, and instinct compare right now due to the mobile-first form factor.

Interesting that all of the bikes are turquoise colored, except for the medium effort

GPT-6 is so good that all pelicans born after today will look exactly the one generated by simonw

It's clearly an extension of the previous naming: Luna, terra, sol

For a uv noob like me: what do you mean by bundling it all into a single binary? How does that work?

UV can be built (or downloaded) as a single optionally statically linked with the libc executable file, with no other dependencies. That makes it very easy to distribute on weird systems.

Is this a vibe coded wrapper? Imo what we really need is a model to separate rhythm guitar from lead guitar

Yep, as a metal head who loves to play along to his favorite songs, this is the next frontier I want!

Moises is able to do that! Though it's unfortunately not open source. Result quality can vary as with anything AI, but ime it usually performs ok.

How many track/stem pairs would we need to train a network to do this? Must be possible now with llms

Vs code copilot is the same or better than cursor in my opinion - I mean that's where cursor comes from

I just switched back to VS Code from Cursor a week ago. Things seem great and VS Code has caught up. Last time I tried switching back was in November and VS Code was not ready then.

Is this the chat on the side or the agents feature?

The chat on the side can use agents too

Honestly I haven't found kagi that useful in the last 12 months. I used to be a paying member but then dropped it because the results didn't feel more useful than just asking the free versions of Gemini, claude, etc
