K3UL··on Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look [video]
Just from the video you can gather that there's much more than just a visual upgrade. The fact that you can apparently just rob random stores, that there seems to be specific ways to open cars (so different cars, different difficulties?), the variety of activities, and the pnjs that seem to remember you, etc. I was afraid it would not live up to the hype, but now I think it just might
K3UL··on Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look [video]
I was honestly surprised, I was really expecting that it was at least from a ps5 pro. Even the 30fps did not shock me
K3UL··on The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead
Not really true considering they say that the super secret "research internal model" that was pivotal, is particularly optimize for that purpose exactly

> The internal-only research model is comparable in scale to GPT-5.6 Sol and was trained to advance persistence and multiagent collaboration, among other capabilities

K3UL··on Show HN: Argentic – An L402 Lightning toll booth for AI scraping agents
This is unenforcable ; if humans can read for free you should consider machines can too. This is the whole decades-old cat and mouse of websites with paid APIs and scrapers
K3UL··on Show HN: Argentic – An L402 Lightning toll booth for AI scraping agents
I don't understand what's the point of this ? Seems like a project whose whole reason to exist is to name it, rather than an actual problem in need of a solution
K3UL··on Europe's scorched landscapes seen from space after summer heatwaves
I think the biggest issue is actually even further that these ones: it's the population itself. Overpopulation has been a huge driver, and it's a problem without a solution ; but it's still too absent from the conversation, especially because the system and the economy rely a lot on the population growing.

But i agree, in absence of a good solution for this part, the next best thing is a change of habits for the people.

K3UL··on Implant – an extension to VS Code that exposes its APIs to coding agents
JetBrains actually HAS done this, and made a protocol out of it: https://www.jetbrains.com/acp/
K3UL··on Databricks drove down AI coding spend 70%
Weirdly a lot of the come from company that sell Ai credits in some capacity, and who are also selling (or will soon) some kind of AI gateway or router
K3UL··on Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
The output yes, but do you produce the impact and value of 3 engineers? I have seen this workflow being toyed with too, and I find it to produce massively overengineered stuff that actual people don't really wanna use
K3UL··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Sounds like you are describing a platform, not an OS.
K3UL··on Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc
I keep seeing article like this, that look like they have been written by these companies to push the opinion. People saying "who cares because you cannot play it anyway" instead of "discs should be less dependant on network to gain another advantage".

But the case for physical disk is not (only) about playability, it's mostly about ownership and the fact that you can actually lend it to someone or resell it. It's also about retail, and it's about collectors. About people with a slow or limited connection having access with that much less to download.

Another thing is also that if I have a physical copy, I have the right to a digital copy. So a non-working disc might not always be the end. But if I have a digital copy and they take it off the table, I do not have this right and it is gone forever.

K3UL··on Devtools must be open source
This is in my opinion the single most important revolution that will come from llm in the dev space. Not vibecoding or replacing entire teams.

Its this and also the ability for non dev to create their own little tools (for productivity, entertainment, family life, whichever).

I think they will put back the "personal" in personal computing

K3UL··on ICE Collected Nearly 1M People's DNA Last Year–Including Young Children
As someone who loves Gattaca, no thanks !
K3UL··on Fast Remediation Is the New Trust Model (JFrog and OpenAI Zero-Day Findings)
This seems unlikely as it would mean JFrog knew the vulnerability before OpenAI, which this blog posts clearly says the opposite
K3UL··on Harness Engineering
Prompt engineering, context engineering, now harness engineering. I guess in a few months we'll have looped back to software engineering ?

All these buzzwords for basically what's glorified tweaking and configuration. All these years I should have mentioned I was doing Debugger Engineering and IDE Engineering

K3UL··on Claude can now securely use your Passwords with 1Password

The WSJ article is behind a paywall

K3UL··on Show HN: StyleSeed – a design-rules engine so AI agents stop building generic UI
If you consider these non-LLM looking, I have some news for you (not that they don't look good to be clear)
K3UL··on Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot
The price hike was insane yes, but because they were eating the price difference. How exaclty does moving to a Claude sub is better, when it's actually more expensive ?

At my company we did the comparison and Copilot still wins: for 20$ you get a seat and 20$ of usage, whereas with Claude enterprise you get a seat and then usage is completely added. Moreover usage in Copilot is exactly the price of the providers AND it allows us to use various models from multiple providers.

The case that might be less expensive is if you negociate a volume discount with AWS for Bedrock usage, but that is also possible with GitHub and Microsoft.

K3UL··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
One of the major reasons I upgraded to ps5 was because it would also allow me to play blu-ray movies.

If the PS6 comes out with no disc player at all, not a chance I buy it.

Also, that's a definite middle finger to second hand and physical stores then ? Hoping MS will make a bet in the opposite direction (but I don't see it) and the players will follow..

K3UL··on GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension
GitHub confirmed that it's indeed the nx console extension, in their blog post: https://github.blog/security/investigating-unauthorized-acce...
K3UL··on Plex's price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin
To me it proves I was right to get the lifetime pass many years ago
K3UL··on Website streamed live directly from a model
Anthropic has experimented with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGiqrsv530Y
K3UL··on Six Levels of Dark Mode (2024)
Did you even read before pasting? Yes technically it is, which would indeed be in line with "levels of dark mode".
K3UL··on Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent
I agree, I almost missed it and left the website.

Too bad because once I saw it and tried it out, that's when I thought the experience feels slick and polished.

I think you shoud consider either having an onboarding that highlights it or put a giant arrow on your landing page background, between the video and the bar, with a "Try it on this page"

K3UL··on Supply Chain Attack on Trivy
They're right though, using a self-hosted runner has nothing to do with using community actions or not. Installing with curl and sh can be done in a github public runner just as well.
K3UL··on Show HN: Voiden – an offline, Git-native API tool built around Markdown
So we really don't talk about Bruno then?
K3UL··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
That's clearly the case, this is a three-pronged manoeuver :

- Introducing a cheap 1-core runner

- Lowering the price of GitHub-hosted runners

- Making it slightly more expensive to use self-hosted runners

- There is actually a fourth one: the vnet integration, which also allows you to run public runners in your own infra

As a bonus, for some people it means something that was free is now not free. Those who are willing to pay rather than go, might prefer to use GitHub-hosted if they are going to pay anyway.

This is clearly an incentive to use github-hosted, and their sales reps are also going this way.

K3UL··on Warner Bros Begins Exclusive Deal Talks With Netflix
This is definitely the worst timeline
K3UL··on VLC's Jean-Baptiste Kempf Receives the European SFS Award 2025
I might be wrong but I think the guys at VLC are still very important contributors to ffmpeg, which is still a big deal. They also (kinda recently) developed some really low latency tech for streaming called Kyber So bottomline the player might not be used that much (although on mobile the app is very popular still) but the tech they develop for it, is
