That game always felt more like supreme commander then TA to me... Personally I preferred the foss games spawned out of the spring engine like eg zero-k and the previously mentioned beyond all reason over it

> Sounds like LLMs shouldn't respond to insults like humans do either then.
is impossible, because thats literally what a llm is. its a stochastic model which produces output according to the predictive calculation of how people wrote. it can never be separated from our own behavioral quirks, even if it may or may not be more intelligent then a person off of the street.
its kinda exactly what they are. like can you remove h2o from water?
on this platform are people that dont see IP as valid, others believe it is
. There is no shared opinion on that topic that all participants on this platform agree on.
anyway, the bigger issue ive with this is the doubling of the price right from the get-go.
with private equity on the steering wheel, i suspect this will keep going up every year from now on, so ... while i too have been a loyal customer to date, i suspect ill be driven out within the next 1-2 years, because if they double the price again next year, its gonna be way beyond the value i get out of it given how decent the alternative have become since.
And if you're honest, macOS has sadly dropped in quality too...
But the reason why I wrote my comment was just that you gave off the feeling that you consider macOS to be the only relevant desktop operating system, which seemed like a very strange view to have given the reality of it's userbase.
I mean I don't disagree with that, but you're in dire need of a reality check wrt Apple's dominance
It's not even the most used OS. It's userbase has certainly grown over the last 20 years, but it's still at <30% on desktop...
There are however some demographics in which it's more represented, and that's probably just such a bubble where you're coming from
I'm sure they'll have a migration path to the cloudflare platform in 12 month.
That's an attempt at mitigation, but most definitely not solved.
It still causes both false positives and false negatives through that. The only true "solution" is to make sure generation always happens on the same platform as your ci... And various mitigation strategies around that (eg fall back to structure tests on other platforms vs actual visual diffs in ci
Also not unique to playwright. Been available basically everywhere since the start
Pretty old libs around that played around with those concepts, especially in Python
there are other parts where its not unless youre playing fast and loose.
Most devs against AI argue that the former tasks were never that big of an issue, but they likely worked at enterprises where those tasks were someone elses job through dedicated teams preparing framework upgrades etc
There is also a gigantic delta between using AI on eg Github copilot through API Pricing and having a Subscription model via Anthropic or OpenAI. Through Github you'll be constantly be worrying about costs, with the Sub youll likely mostly be using SOTA and the quality diffence is staggering, especially since the last model iteration (Opus 5.5)

The original blog is no longer available though.
But I've not had that stop me from doing that myself, I am more towards the "I like easy" then the "I want to be secure" crowd
So if I wanted to use fossil scm, i'd have to find a way to glue that on, and now ... we'Re basically in the same situation as with any other solution: it supports only a subset of the feature we want.
and especially CI pre "merge" is a hard requirement, and fossil doesnt have any concept for that i think?
But the last time i evaluated it was in the mid 2010s, so things may have progressed since? but couldn't find anything on cursory glance and AI confirmed that position, but we all know how often its wrong... so how did yall solve that issue?

but as others have said: $25k in credits as a reward for winning first place: this is not a real competition, this is just a minor marketing post so they get a few cheap clicks nwith no expectation of anything valuable from it
the thing is though, at least as far as our society is concerned: thats a fact not a missrepresentation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluttony
and yes, using tools like GLP-1 is a moral failing. a proper christian would just be more disciplined. and be a straight up better human from that too.
but hey, i'm an atheist, and struggled with my weight all my life to varying degrees. The way fat people generally undersell the issue that theyre fat and keep wanting to be victiums / not responsible for their own actions is extremely dystopian however. and its flabbergasting our societies have degraded so far to no longer even be able to tell that.
You may be sad about it, but consumers are a tiny fraction of the market. It's not nothing, but the risk/reward would be super bad for such a tiny market cap.
the consumer price barely matters for the perspective of the company evaluating wherever they can enter the market, because thats just a tiny fraction of it. And the largest piece of the market buys directly from the producer, SK Hynex, Samsung and Micron.
For consumers wanting to buy RAM sticks the difference is academic, i give you that. But for the capital that decides wherever to invest millions if not billions into getting a factory up and running - the price they can set for the b2b sales is the more important factor.
If it wasnt already proven to be basically whatever number they feel like setting... the opportunity would be a lot less obvious.
the price didnt just go up for consumers, they themselves have deeply dipped into the opportunity to maximize profits.
its so hilariously outlandish that eg SK Hynix has to pay out >$450k to union employees (per employee - not in total!) because they have a contract that a percentage of profits get shared as a bonus across the company. this payout is usually not particularly high.
or less, as you seem to forget what this whole discussion is about.
If they dont make sure the prices dont go up, they go up.
Once theyre up, and expected to stay up for the foreseeable future, competitors see a gigantic opportunity. Suddenly, the large amount of investment necessary to the ball rolling is worth it.
Once this opportunity is taken advantage of, the original market position of the company being able to freely set whatever price they wanted is eroded forever -- and in this particular case: it opens them up to being out-competed by the new competitor(s).
In this case those will will likely be coming out of china and be state backed, so theyll likely operate at a loss for maximum damage to get as much of the market as they can get.
in 5 years, Micron is likely going to go cry for state support to socialize their upcoming losses.
and before you say "but there are other competitors already": you should be aware that theyve previously been convicted of running a cartel. And the way theyve been behaving is exactly how they were behaving back then. While unproven, it is more then just likely that theyre still price fixing (and have been for years)

thanks for correcting me on that regard
tbf, i barely feel the difference with opus 5.5 anymore either.
fwiw, i think almost all regressions are down to a/b testing in the harness by anthropic, but it is objectively indistinguishable beyond "the coding agent ceases to be usable" and i'm back to traditional coding for a few hours until its back to normal again
It's meant for their test env I think, so is not documented to my knowledge
the latter is just something to do the former
> should include all of those externalized costs
if you actually want to have a serious debate on that topic, you need to actually cite real examples to look at, otherwise it comes off as a general platitude to capture simps who dont actually understand what theyre being told.
> Tax companies for the air and water they pollute
how exactly? and how would that not become a complete dumbsterfire of administration, with ever increasing dystopian oversight of the state? ever more complicated tax rules, ever more situation in which they can find loopholes etc. this sounds great until you actually think about how to implement it, then it should become quiet clear, very quickly that you'd only give exactly the companies that "arent paying their fair share" an even bigger advantage then they already have.
> Tax companies for every employee who isn't paid enough money to support himself
seriously, how. again it sounds great as an idea, like everything socialist inspired. Its just in practice to implent this, the state has to become an autocracy at the same level of a dictatorship.
> Tax companies for every time one of their products makes people sick.
isnt that already the case? thats why you get endless legalese on all purchases pointing out all the things you may not do with the product. If the product makes you sick, youre usually able to sue. That this doesnt actually achieve what you want should be obvious from the status quo. unless you were seriously talking about tax there. but if you were... what would be the point? the person that was harmed would still be sick and not have gotten any help?
> Tax companies for data breeches and security failures
how do you imagine this working? does the state get a backdoor into every company so it can monitor it for intrusions, so it can throw out punitive fines? like china basically, where every company needs to have a party member on payroll so the party is always informed on all developments?
Seriously, you didn't think any of those things through. If you got what you wanted, you get a society akin to the USSR. Thats not something any sane person would want.
Just a plain rate.
It comes with funny side effects, eg companies will suddenly want to make simple things in-house again to save on taxes, and it necessitates tariffs as every other nation is following the current scheme where taxes are only due for the last trade.
The whole tax advisor profession vanishes - only book keeping and accounting would stay.
But let's be real here, it would massively impact the market, it sounds fun on paper for armchair analysts like myself - but real human life's would be ruined from the upheaval
And "the rich" for the most part are paying their fair share.
It's very few which employ highly intelligent tax advisors that skirt them. Same with companies, most play by the social rules. It's just large multinationals like Google, Apple and similar which get around paying taxes. And they're mostly paying some taxes in the US too, just in eg Europe they don't at all.
But it does give you surprisingly stasble rube-goldberg machines.
And thats basically what 95-99% of enterprises want from their software.
It annoyed me to no end when i began my career, but at this point ive accepted it and can definitely still have fun developing software with llms. As a matter of fact, as my perfectionism approach to software in my earlier years was never really appreciated... So i dont really mind the new MO.
I still occasionally hand write though, esp. at the dayjob where ive got super small token budgets while continuously being told to use more AI. But that's normal, employers usually give off bipolar vibes with multiple stakeholders wanting to advance each of their bonus package KPI of any given quarter
Any good discord community suggestions?
I've been missing a coder community since I've kinda lost touch with anyone's else that likes to code - both with and without llms.
And none of my current day job coworkers actually like to nor can code well. Neither with nor without llms
