They also support a large number of previous OS. If you hard reset your 2013 Mac, it'll download OSX Mountain Lion.

As per https://endoflife.date/macos only 3 MacOS versions are under active support. Also I would wager that most people upgrade the OS anyway due to the piss-poor backwards compatibility for software - Xcode being a prime example.

"Programmers are the ultimate detail managers. All the tiny little details that nobody else wants to deal with wind up in our laps." - Robert C. Martin

Let's see if AI makes PMs care for details.

A lot of details are already beginning to fall through to the AI’s lap anyways.

How does it compare to https://github.com/penpot/penpot?

Thanks for this question. I'm humbled by the comparison. I have been following penpot for a while and I appreciate the work they've been doing.

The main difference lies in the rendering engine. Penpot relies on an SVG engine, which limits performance as project complexity grows.

Vecti is built on canvas and WebAssembly (the same architecture used by Figma). This gives us raw performance advantages, allowing you to handle complex, heavy design systems without the lag you might experience in SVG-based tools.

For the record, Penpot is about to enter the open beta stage of a canvas, WASM-based renderer.

This is a actual prompt in the video: "What are the papers in the literature that are most relevant to this draft and that I should consider citing?"

They probably wanted: "... that I should read?" So that this is at least marketed to be more than a fake-paper generation tool.

You can tell that they consulted 0 scientists to verify the clearly AI-written draft of this video.

The target audience of this tool is not academics; it's OpenAI investors.

At last, our scientific literature can turn to its true purpose: mapping the entire space of arguable positions (and then some)

macOS already has some great intrinsic TTS capability as the OS seems to include a naturally sounding voice. I recently built a similar tool to just run the "say" command as a background process. Had to wrap it in a Deno server. It works, but with Tahoe it's difficult to consistently configure using that one natural voice, and not the subpar voices downloadable in the settings. The good voice seems to be hidden somehow.

How am I supposed to enable this?

My mistake, seems like I was refering to the Siri voice, which seems to be the default. It sounds good. It is selectable and to my surprise - even configurable in speed, pitch and volume - in the OS Accessibility settings -> System Voice -> Click on the (i) symbol. (macOS Tahoe)

Or via $ say --voice "?"

The 5000 loc index.html doesn't look too bad content wise, but I question if it's helpful to humans in its shape. I guess a proper project structure is just a prompt away though.

Yup. I built a few more complex apps with more structure, like https://rauschstoff.com - fully vibe coded on the same platform. It has honestly been amazing the last few days :)

Collaboration is when all want to get to the same place and take unplanned turns to drive while the others are sleeping and a hitchhiker you picked up on the ride drives you over the finishing line.

And it's beautiful when that happens.

Collaboration is the activity of a group of people to create and maintain a shared understanding of a problem in order to solve it.

The author addresses issues that I would not relate to the concept of collaboration as a specific type of groupwork.

Boston Dynamics posted a youtube video on gripper (hand) design yesterday. They argue for two fingers and a thumb. I don't believe this product.

The first step towards this is a UN resolution.

That's an interesting take. Is there any historical precedent for an international change that started with a UN resolution? Because my cynical take is that UN resolutions are typically either ineffective, or made post-hoc.
