I only hope that as these decomps come out, and these games get older, the original devs can comment on them more - to explain that those complex, innovative parts might be quite different than the models assumed them to be, and point out where they're wrong, like Stack Overflow.

This was really lame cope ten years ago and it's really lame cope now.

I don't understand why people talk about this like we live in some fantasy land where C compilers don't have tons of bugs like this. And that's just the bugs, not even the accepted UB.

No matter what happens, people just blindly claim this nonsense is still accurate. We could have AI halt tomorrow and people on Hacker News would still claim AI 2027 is on track.

> Due to this strict harness, we were able to use extremely dumb models efficiently.

With all due respect I seriously doubt that. What are you doing that's different? Almost every test between just Opus and Opus conducting cheaper agent swarms ends up with Opus getting better results at a lower cost. People set up harnesses just like yours and see this.

    It's the job of the media to scrutinize such statements and decide whether there's a story here at all (maybe the story is Anthropic researchers have fallen into a fantasy-land and brought many policymakers with them), not to just platform them.

Speaking of fantasy lands, the one most Bluesky users live in where legacy media doesn’t editorialize ENOUGH on tech companies…

> I know a large reason people hate AI is because it's largely seen as tearing apart hobbyist/professional communities, eliminating reasons to collaborate with others and form relationships

No offense but this incessant focus on the 'gamedev community' is part of the reason why a lot of games suck right now. Like half of indie releases these days were clearly started as hackathon type projects, designed to go viral on gamedev subreddits and twitter (see 'friendslop', several of the 'soulslikes', 'scrollslikes', etc), but after years and years of this stuff it's clear that virality is not actually what makes a good product. This scenario where people see good software (decomps, original creations etc) and clutch their pearls about how it will affect 'the community' is propping up a lot of below-mediocre stuff and it's really, REALLY lame. It's the same kind of crap that let AAA quality nosedive trickling down into indies and this.

but muh Steam's 30% cut, or something

The author shows his age by recommending that student to go into a cost center at Costco. In AI resume land you really need the keywords more than ever to both start and keep a career in this industry.

"Appeal to adult animated show" is lame enough on Reddit but it's particularly odious blogspam here.

If you're not doing it already, you can pretty much get this from using RSS feeds for the channels you want to watch and yt-dlp.

It’s like it was designed in a lab to maximize engagement on Reddit.

This argument only makes sense if you equate a printed book with a chatbot. They aren't the same thing, and the chatbot's outputs aren't copyrighted.

Between people.

It's bad enough from Opus, but it's worse how people have actually retooled their vocabulary around these tools. In the US tech industry, at least.

Robert Morris, Lori Drew, probably a few others, depending on what you mean by their intent.

Seems very cool. I'm wondering what the next step would be for performance here. Trying python as suggested is quite slow so far.

  ~ # time python3 hello.py
  Hello World!
  real    0m 5.48s

  sys     0m 1.24s

> Intention matter a lot in US law.

Maybe (and historically, not with CFAA) - but they're still going to extradite you to a trial here to find out which is more than enough to ruin your life. The government is already looking for a great excuse to criminalize open source models.

It's really incredible how so many of the people that in one thread will talk about workers rights will also come out to bat for some tech company's TOS.

Whatever your worldview is it's definitely not about freedom over authoritarianism.

I mean your article is pretty bad. You posted two promptly patched security vulnerabilities and then essentially just wrote the same thing over and over and over again about how it's a sign of the whole project without really building up a case showing consistent negligence.

> It's exhausting to go through life if you think every field is a battlefield.

This is really the whole conversation. 'Everything is political' is literally true (they mean downstream of politics, in some sense) but it's really only brought up habitually like this to create a political conflict. Everything is also downstream of water, but it doesn't give me the right to flood your house.

Wasn't the efficacy of the focus/bionic reading stuff disproven awhile back? Are people still using it?

> But there is also the fun side of it becoming a status symbol I guess. Drive up future demand.

For the Steam Controller that's very clearly at least partly what's going on. Valve's "we didn't expect the demand!" schtick is getting pretty hard to buy when they clearly expected around the same expectations for V2 as for V1. PC gaming usage has grown massively since the first controller came out.

Exactly what I thought.

The beginning of the end of the free and open internet was the rise of the walled garden. The final nail in the coffin is that every search result for "independent blogs" and "free and open internet" these days goes to politically challenged morons like this.

Simply put, the people running their own websites and blogs aren't "normal" anymore. The "normal" people are on the big platforms, unfortunately.

In addition to the wonders of the physical world, national parks, lakefront properties, skiing locations becoming owned by and run for the rich, advertising is moving further from the consumer to investors, their true market. They don't need the poors anymore.

You need better proof than tiktok buzzwords. This isn't reddit.

Bun is now almost twice the size of JavaScriptCore, too, by linecount after this.

This is the 'world class' engineering that Jarred claims he can't hire Americans to do, by the way https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/1969751721737077247. This company is parasitic to its literal (javascript) core.

> It is straight up wrong to say "if you have ASLR enabled, you're not at any risk from this" and saying this is extremely harmful for anyone that trusts claims like that.

You can safely assume a 1:1 overlap between the people that claim "AI will solve cyber" (and they always say 'cyber') and the people saying this.

> Does nobody remember his old videos rambling about women and gender topics, for example?

No one remembers these because they don't exist.

The difference is that the Not Just Bikes guy is actually doing what the parent commenter is claiming Louis (only) does and Louis in reality does a lot more than that like what's in TFA.

Not Just Bikes makes reddit posts for redditors in YouTube form, basically. Louis actually supports people and projects. There's no 'schtick', consumer repair is core to his business and his channel.
