I do kinda think maybe a lot of things could have been avoided if they'd thrown him a role or two every year. Keep him busy.

Text from my wife: "[Boy]'s mom just messaged. [Boy] doesn't know what a crush is and wants to know if [Kid 2] will go trick or treating with him at their campground on 10/24."

Kid 2 had a really horrible day, because she confessed to her crush and they didn't reciprocate. It was really a really hard moment for me, as a parent, because right before I picked her up I found an awesome new song.

Lost is a tough one to revisit because so much of the experience was tied up in the week-to-week and the summer breaks. There's no way it hits the same when that end title doesn't have a wait attached to it.

Object-oriented programming used to be new. It took a whole bunch of overhead tedium and turned it into "well we've got all this memory and compute now, we can let the machine handle that." On the coding side, is this just the next leap of that?

A cursory look at my profile will tell you what I think of LLMs and AI in general. It's a bad writer, it's a bad artist, it puts more bad disposable garbage into the world. It's getting harder and harder for me to say it's a bad STEMlord.

I think for most people, the point is SimCity 2000 in a browser with low-poly models replacing the sprites so it scales smoothly

gaming stuff might be the sugar that makes the AI "medicine" go down
a post from r/Simcity titled "I rebuilt SimCity 2000 in low-poly 3D, playable in the browser, and it loads your old SC2 cities"Play: https://dator.dev/city2026/ (free, no install, works best in a desktop browser)

It's the same game as the original Mac version underneath. The simulation is translated from the original's code and checked against the original running in an emulator: same city, same random seeds, identical save files after 10,000 game days. So zoning, traffic, crime, budgets, disasters and the advisors all behave the way you remember.

- Loads .SC2 files from the Mac and DOS/Windows versions, so dig out your old cities

- The Mac version's cheat codes work

- Everything you see and hear is new: low-poly models for every building, new music and sounds

- A few modern extras you can switch off in Options: tilt-shift, smog over polluted districts, a sky, and ambient city sounds that follow the camera

Most of the code was written by Claude Opus 5.5 (an AI model), in about 20 hours of my time.

If you know a quirk of the original that doesn't work, tell me.

Pharrell brought them a music festival and they showed their appreciation for it by murdering his cousin. Garbage municipality.

City full of people who voted down extending the light rail, which the state had already given them money for, and then they all went and financed golf carts. Moral abyss. Fall into the ocean.

Imagine aspiring to Florida. That’s Virginia Beach. Rich and cheap. TopGolf at the western border, beachfront condos at the east. Almost half a million people and they don’t pay their EMTs.

They were all hooting and hollering over the Chevy SS online. Not so much when they were on the lot.
