Giving yourself the old playstation experience. Please insert Disc 2.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert at it, but BI tools let you interrogate your data. This can be used for endless use cases for basically any department in an organization. But for instance, if you're a sales leader you might have some questions about all of the sales and marketing data in your company to focus your team's efforts for the next quarter. When you figure out which questions are actually returning useful findings, you then can take a set of these and build a dashboard which lets you easily re-examine those particular questions and their results with always up-to-date (or up-to-date-ish) data and can easily share it with the team.

This is the way. My TV tries its hardest to get me to connect and whenever I turn it on, it doesn’t fail to remind me that I’ve disabled the microphone and that I should turn it back on. But as soon as the Apple TV takes over all is good.

"Could" is the ultimate clickbait headline word.

Every time I read “could” my brain automatically also says “could not!” lol “hot beverages could _not_ cause oesophageal cancer”

I know very hot beverages are group 2A probable carcinogen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IARC_group_2A


In some ways I wish that sample size and delta were manditory parts of these sorts of headlines.

Like "In a study of 900,000 people, those that drank their coffee were 5% more likely to develop esophageal cancer".

At very least it'd stop BS like "In a 10 rat study, peppermint oil cured cancer in 10% of the rats" or "Peppermint oil could cure cancer!" as a lot of scientific reporters would phrase it.


You realize the body font is just system-ui which is your system's default? It is just the headings that use Space Grotesk.

> pretty much globally?

Are there some places on Earth stuck in a time distortion field or a loop or something?


Little bitty black holes in the LHC

There are a few places that don't use the Gregorian Calendar like Iran, Nepal, Ethiopia, and some others, so in those places no one would consider the year 2026 (though if familiar with a Gregorian Calendar they'd agree on the year). Then there's Thailand which uses a semi-Gregorian system that dates the year from the year of the Buddha's death, so there the year is not 2026 but 2569.

It looks quite well done, though I'm definitely not in the target demographic for this. I'm happy with my high-end desktop devices and shittier mobile devices. The last thing I want is for my phone to be more capable and incentivize me to use it more lol. I use mine to call, text, listen to music, check email, use the map, track workouts, and basic web browsing. I don't need more than that.

I'm in the exact same boat. I already gave Apple a bunch of money for something with a hinge this summer, and it's a Mac that can actually run a terminal, a proper desktop browser, or even something wacky like x86 games through a compatibility layer, etc.

No way I prioritize that kind of cash on something that only runs mobile-tier software.


This seems solid. It is so frustrating when you state a fact and it goes off and does research and confirms that indeed the fact that you stated is accurate.

Why promote this as being vibecoded? There are so many good games out there, why would one choose to spend a moment playing one that the creator of implies is half-assed by how they talk about it? If the game is good and you're proud of it, why not promote it rather than your means of creating it? We are all responsible for our own work at the end of the day, whether we code it ourselves or use AI agents. Emphasizing that it has only been done by AI is not very enticing.

I think it's because people want to see what kind of a train wreck it is by being entirely vibe coded. It's a novelty. And to see what parts might be working normally or have clear heritage from existing RPGs.

You can see immediately that it's vibecoded so they kind of don't have a choice but to say so. It is interesting to see what can be achieved with AI even if few people want to play 100% vibecoded games.

Probely because that is the entirety of it. There is zero story or creativity or anything else that goes into an actual game, virtually nothing is named and any that has is a simply word or two jammed together into a name -- the player guide is written in claudish and has a literal table of the number of roads.

I don't think this is so much a game as a figure out how much can be vibecoded, such a tech demo rather of an engine


Do you also question why photographers list which lens they used to take a photo?

Look I get it, half of us actively hate anything produced by AI. Just like half of photographers hated anything taken by digital cameras

But there is a limited time window before the "I hate this" voice becomes a pedantic minority one. If the rate of AI progress doesn't show you a clear picture of what's coming, maybe it's time to reflect on that.


What is it about AI that causes so many of its promoters to write like a used car salesman using hard sell tactics to push a lemon onto an unsuspecting mark? Raises my hackles every time I see it.

Even those who are pro-AI ought to discourage this; these people make you look bad.


if you can't answer the questions i'm asking there's probably a reason for it.

And i'm not the reason.


Interesting comment but frankly I'm speaking as someone who has no idea how to market, not as an AI salesman. Valid concern, but sounds like confirmation bias.

Unless you are the same person as account "elif", I wasn't responding to you?

Ah my bad, thought this was an open forum!

Frankly nobody will click into something that is just a game after 6 weeks. It's extremely unlikely to be interesting. 6 weeks of vibecoding brings the AI hype, and sets a truer expectation of substantial progress.

Plus all the AI guys are intrigued. I would be, as one of them.


I’m very surprised to see others commenting here that they like the fake reviews. Claude loves adding that shit, but you’re allowed to modify and remove the junk it produces.

> * None of these people exist. We checked. Twice. Legal is chill

Maybe I’m just the old man yelling at the clouds, but can we not have some integrity and actually put the truth out there? There is nothing wrong with using AI, but we’re still responsible for our work.


I don't know, I have plenty of gray hair, but I still love a little tongue in cheek humor. I still remember the first cold email I got asking for 12 minutes of my time - I replied. Now if the disclaimer was buried at the bottom of the page and this product was asking for money, I would agree there is more of a trust issue here.
