mikeaskew4··on Show HN: A walkable 3D art history museum built from Wikipedia
Terrific
mikeaskew4··on Airbnb just launched 3D floor plans
Guests book homes they've never set foot in. Photos give them a feel for the place, but not how the home fits together. Now hosts can walk through their space with an iPhone and get an interactive 3D floor plan in minutes.
mikeaskew4··on Sublime Text Build 4213
It was so nice recently to come back to ST after several years of increasingly bloated IDEs. I should probably (finally) pay for it.
mikeaskew4··on Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger
Started cool. But kept crashing (not in the fun way).
mikeaskew4··on Most people prefer traditional architecture
Sturdy is good.
mikeaskew4··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Still chugging away at a mobile 3D spatial tool for interior room design…

Thanks!

mikeaskew4··on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
Pretty sure it does that already.
mikeaskew4··on VC isn't VC anymore
This reads like someone who can’t make smart bets “before it’s obvious.”

Lots of VCs out there still taking big gambles on the agendaless and unproven ideas.

mikeaskew4··on Did Vibe Coders win? Is this our end?
The battle but not the war?
mikeaskew4··on 'Idiocracy' Predicted All of This
We still have another 480 years of this to go.
mikeaskew4··on Damn fine tiny cafe
it's a great hobby for mental health: https://missiron.com/blogs/news/why-building-miniatures-is-t...

Someday I hope to become a person who can find the time and brain space for glue, paint, etc.

mikeaskew4··on What my dad taught me about AI coding in the 90s
My dad just had a computer around and looked the other way when I spent all night on it. And I learned chess on my own.

This may not be the argument Mike makes here, I have always felt that seeing the board and not knowing what it means is more valuable than knowing everything about it without seeing it.

If you’re drowning, who do you want to save you, the lifeguard who can’t read or the author of the book on water lifesaving techniques who can’t swim?

mikeaskew4··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
Build more real stuff, everyone.
mikeaskew4··on Longest Straight Line Paths on Water or Land on the Earth (2018)
Presume for a moment that you don’t drive on tyres…
mikeaskew4··on Advertisers Could Soon Demand 'Verified Clicks'
They won’t.
mikeaskew4··on The turbulent AI era is here
I think we all wish you good fortune and wellness on your journey. But some of us are sticking around knowing that taste is something AI will never be able to define. Let them have their (copied) graphics, songs, web designs, websites, iPhone apps, etc…
mikeaskew4··on Scrap (2006)
We have them in Chicago, too. Call streets and san when you got something too big to fit in the can? Nah.

Also nearly got a job in Pittsburgh this summer…

mikeaskew4··on Layoff in Apple's Vision Products Group prove slow progress in spatial computing
I’d like to know why spatial computing, or simply being able to think and act on a computing device beyond 2D has not caught on more broadly. We seem to have the tech for it.
mikeaskew4··on A fortuitous decade as an indie software developer
If you’re fortunate to have the chance, do it and don’t look back.
mikeaskew4··on Chicago Mercantile Exchange will list futures contracts for GPU costs
Might need to call in the Onion Futures act on this one.

mikeaskew4··on WorldClaw Agentic 3D open-world generation at scale
It’s close. But “there” is a subjective statement.
mikeaskew4··on Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas
Also Port Washington…
mikeaskew4··on Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas
Drove past it a few times this summer. Wrecked the nice drive.
mikeaskew4··on Federal Communications Commission scraps limit on broadcast TV ownership
It’s nuts to pay for commercials. More people have antennas (or griddles or whatever they are now) than get credit.
mikeaskew4··on The title cards in Blade Runner are amazing
Always been fascinated by the craft of film titles. Powerpoints could be so more engaging with less words and more music.
mikeaskew4··on The title cards in Blade Runner are amazing
The Blues Brothers IS the soundtrack. Nobody remembers Twiggy was in it.
mikeaskew4··on International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF)
No comments, but thank you for sharing and staying vigilant.
mikeaskew4··on Gov. Greg Abbott halts Texas data center approvals
Nah, you’re pullin’ my leg.
mikeaskew4··on Everything I Know (1975)
Favorite quote of all time: “ You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
Build it piece at a time, like the song goes…
