It looks kinda cute if you ask me

> Writing acceptance criteria is harder than writing a prompt, because it forces you to think through edge cases before you've seen them. Engineers resist it for the same reason they resisted TDD, because it feels slower at the start.

This resonates with my experience, and it is also a refreshing honest take: pushing back on heavy upfront process isn't laziness, it's just the natural engineers drive to build things and feel productive.

Oh wow he looks incredible for being 94

I’m asking out of pure curiosity, no ill intent: what makes hdmi/usb-c support hard to implement?

I read a great article that explained that. It's called "The one we're commenting on"

There was a good talk at ccc by one of the people facing down the difficulties: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-asahi-linux-porting-linux-to-app...

Can you give us examples of metaprojects?

You are the project, and getting through your idea to something, is about building a better you. Which points back to the beginning: -- Publish that novella, build an OS, converse in Mandarin, release an indie game, publish that other novella, dominate a continent -- --

Seem to be a lot of complaints about this post, I'm enjoying it. Interesting flow of thoughts and share similar frustration with all my ideas and trying to channel them, and get to something. If I get to something close to my thoughts that's a huge win for me.

How is this possible?

You raise good points, but I think the “it’s not good enough” stance won’t last for long.

I’m from Venice and it’s heartwarming to see someone from a different country/culture so into the history of Venice <3

This reminds me of what my PhD supervisor told me as he was trashing my first draft of my first paper: “up until this point in your life you’ve been trained to convince someone who knows more than you that you know something by writing impressive equations and complex concepts. Now you are the expert and if you do that nobody will read your papers. And if someone stops after a few sentences you’ll lose citations too.”

Similar experience with my bachelor's thesis after I presented it.

Supervisor: "Great job with this."

Me: "The assessor didn't seem too impressed."

Supervisor: "You should have sold it better."

That was the point where I realized that all the technical stuff doesn't really matter if nobody realizes how hard it was or why they should care.

What was your PhD thesis about ?

I studied the entanglement formed during a quantum nonlinear process

Finally I can relate to someone’s experience. For me even playing with image generators has improved my imagination.

ghosts react : imagine a youtube channel but opinions expressed are from the POV of a ghost.

put the above prompt and enjoy some imaginative writing.

prompt: Collapse of Circle to 3 points is like Quantum mechanics of mathematics.
