zoba··on Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc
Asha Sharma where are you? Keep up your reputation as a great new Xbox CEO.
zoba··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
Also can you please make it easy to switch between my work and personal accounts on mobile!
zoba··on Trade Dollars with other startups. Book it as revenue
Reminds me a bit of the NFT parody site https://nfd.miami
zoba··on The Biochemical Beauty of Retatrutide: How GLP-1s Work
I hope it is more effective that Tirzepatide of which I am a rare nonresponder and have only gained weight.
zoba··on Boris Cherny: TI-83 Plus Basic Programming Tutorial (2004)
I used Claude Code to update a ray casting engine for the TI-89 a couple months ago. Thanks Boris!

zoba··on TI-89 Height-Mapped Raycaster
I actually don't know! Never had a voyage 200. I'd love to hear your experiences with it.
zoba··on Drugwars for the TI-82/83/83 Calculators (2011)
For TI-89, I recently updated the FAT engine to have height mappings. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/dzoba/ti-89-raycasting-with-z
zoba··on Something is afoot in the land of Qwen
I tried the new qwen model in Codex CLI and in Roo Code and I found it to be pretty bad. For instance I told it I wanted a new vite app and it just started writing all the files from scratch (which didn’t work) rather than using the vite CLI tool.

Is there a better agentic coding harness people are using for these models? Based on my experience I can definitely believe the claims that these models are overfit to Evals and not broadly capable.

zoba··on WebMCP is available for early preview
“Web 3” was crypto
zoba··on WebMCP is available for early preview
Will this be called Web 4.0?
zoba··on Ask HN: Share your personal website
https://dzoba.com
zoba··on Claude in Chrome
Had great success with this prompt: “QA this website for me. Report all bugs”
zoba··on iPhone Pocket
iPhones are now so big we need a special carrying device for it.

Please bring back the mini :’(

zoba··on NanoChat – The best ChatGPT that $100 can buy
I’d also be interested in this. Especially for Macs
zoba··on NanoChat – The best ChatGPT that $100 can buy
I’m very excited for this. An early question I have: what would need to be done to make this a “thinking” model?
zoba··on ChatGPT Developer Mode: Full MCP client access
Thinking about what Jony Ive said about “owning the unintended consequence” of making screens ubiquitous, and how a voice controlled, completely integrated service could be that new computing paradigm Sam was talking about when he said “ You don’t get a new computing paradigm very often. There have been like only two in the last 50 years. … Let yourself be happy and surprised. It really is worth the wait.”

I suspect we’ll see stronger voice support, and deeper app integrations in the future. This is OpenAI dipping their toe in the water of the integrations part of the future Sam and Jony are imagining.

zoba··on TikTok has turned culture into a feedback loop of impulse and machine learning
So strange to think about how Vine could’ve won this and an American company could’ve been the leader here.
zoba··on iPhone dumbphone
I would love to be able to turn off Instagram Reels on iOS like is apparently possible on Android.
zoba··on Show HN: I built an offline, open‑source desktop Pixel Art Editor in Python
I recently discovered and have been fairly happy with PixelLab - an AI pixel art generator. I feel like they have a ways to go in features and UX, but it shows promise.
zoba··on Show HN: 1 Million Rows
Is this... a database? A set of react components? An app? Should be much more immediately understandable.
zoba··on Jules, our asynchronous coding agent
Yes! This me and it is mind boggling how poor the experience is.
zoba··on Jules, our asynchronous coding agent
They block me from subscribing because I have a custom domain for my personal email. I’d gladly give them money but they say “Sign up with your personal email” when I try to subscribe. Such poor design
zoba··on Show HN: AI game animation sprite generator
I’m curious if you know of a similar tool for generating tilesets for top down RPG like games? I’ve tried Midjourney, which makes nice art, but it can’t be used in a game.
zoba··on Mermaid: Generation of diagrams like flowcharts or sequence diagrams from text
Claude Artifacts will generate mermaid diagrams for you.
zoba··on Whistleblower: DOGE Siphoned NLRB Case Data
And thats exactly what happened. Insane.
zoba··on MacBooks account for 86% of total Mac sales; Mac desktops just 14%
I’m curious what % of sales the iPhone 13 Mini had compared to the other iPhone 13 models. Evidently the percentage can slip so low Apple will cancel an entire beloved product line.
zoba··on ElevenReader
I've been enjoying this app except I could not find a way to export the content to an audio file. I want to send the content to others - I'd even take a link to a website with a Play button (just not one that forces an app download)
zoba··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
Does OpenAI's API attempt to detect this sort of thing? Could they start outputting bad information if they suspect a distillation attempt is underway?
zoba··on Boom XB-1 First Supersonic Flight [video]
Wow, as a Winston Salem native this is interesting news. Thanks for sharing.
zoba··on 1-800-ChatGPT
My Amish neighbors are allowed to use telephones. I wonder what they’ll think of this.
