throwaw12··on Valve Responds to Developers Fearing AI Slop and Clones
They can take same cut from what AI agent is building and selling, as long as there are buyers.

I still don't get it

throwaw12··on Valve Responds to Developers Fearing AI Slop and Clones
> Steam can only exist if indie developers feel confident they can publish there.

Why though?

Imagine, there will be an AI agent, which will produce new game everyday and Steam users will like it and keep buying. Steam can only exist if customers keep buying and are not annoyed by games.

throwaw12··on Start Doing Graph Theory
that background is so annoying to my eyes when scrolling the content, would be great if author can fix it
throwaw12··on Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat in historic win for student movement
do you think, if there was real oppression people could even vote democratically and change their government?

I think you don't know what is oppression then.

(not downplaying how bad Vucic had been to Serbia, but the fact that people replaced him without violence and democratically means something still was in place)

throwaw12··on JetBrains Thinkrail
It feels like JetBrains is dying, and they're trying very hard to survive.

I liked their products. Also, personally I am not seeing next level devexp yet, other than just using my agents for everything

throwaw12··on Claude Duet
For some reason I read it as, "Claude Diet", and thought Claude is trying to block us from time to time
throwaw12··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
Or now, Anthropic will distill the knowledge from this engine and optimize their inference.
throwaw12··on DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests
which model is SOTA for vibe coding a whole app? I always use models+agents in guided setup

the moment there is a model which can code whole app, we can fairly say software engineering is done.

throwaw12··on An ESPN producer who quit because of sports gambling
It's interesting to discuss this here, when YC also invested in one of those destructive companies Kalshi: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kalshi

Betting of any type is bad for humanity

throwaw12··on AI Can Write the Code. Who Verifies It?
what are the guardrails?

if there are many of them (e.g. unit tests), who generates those guardrails and who verifies their correctness?

if they are a few, then how can they cover vast product capability surface?

throwaw12··on Bot traffic from Yandex
Your initial submission title sounded as if Yandex DC was used as a bot attack and because they were down, bot traffic in the whole internet was substantially down.
throwaw12··on Bot traffic from Yandex
Someone needs to learn how to read the Bot Traffic page.

That is a drop in traffic specifically from Yandex bots (which includes their crawlers and other apps hosted in their DC)

Now compare it with Bot Traffic in:

* Russia: https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots/ru?dateRange=7d

* Europe: https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots/europe?dateRange=7d

* Worldwide: https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots?dateRange=7d

Dip is barely noticeable even in Russia.

Its like saying, "API requests are completely down" (and small disclaimer: only from your server, because your server is down)

throwaw12··on Typesafe AI raises $870M at $7.5B
You are right in terms of how fast competition created alternatives.

But, for OpenAI this is not a primary business, for open source models as well, so they will not be chasing the market and customers to buy their product and promise them to maintain it.

TypeSafe will do all this, they will try to understand your use cases and then solve your pain point, while others are providing raw material.

throwaw12··on ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts
silence please, this is an antisemitic trope according to the genocide supporting Zionists: ADL
throwaw12··on GPT-Synopsys: Frontier Intelligence to Revolutionize Chip Design
> we'll be quite busy in the meantime fixing all the bugs that AI finds.

Maybe that's the job of software engineering moving forward.

Client: Hey, we have got these 125 microservices created by our agents and for the last 25 days they got stuck and can't add any new feature without breaking things, can you take this?

Eng: Sure, lets sign a 24 month contract, my rate is 250$/hr

Client: Sounds good

throwaw12··on GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
First they were telling how GLM-5 distilled their model.

Now they're telling how 'bad' GLM-5.3 at 'censoring' security topics, because Anthropic wanted to sell it to select US companies for millions, but GLM-5.3 is taking their market.

What's next? GLM-5.4 can be used to kill humans, hence we should only allow Opus 5.7?

throwaw12··on US Forces Exit Iraq
Unfortunately, millions of lives lost, another millions started hating US for what it did to their families.

I am curious what did the world gain from this?

throwaw12··on We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
> We would care about having fun.

For even more people fun is TikTok, Snap, Instagram -> sounds like a collapse of a civilization to me if you increase the ratio even more towards dancing kids sharing their content non-stop with no added value to the society

throwaw12··on Ink and Switch interactive homepage
App they have mentioned is indeed looks awesome: https://allume.com/#pricing

But why subscription for local-only software?

throwaw12··on JetBrains Air: A System of Products for Agentic Software Development
> much more than _writing_ code. It's about code reviews, QA, debugging, discovery, and maintenance;

Of course, but agents are also opening up new possibilities to do these jobs.

For example, you can do quick first code review with agent, or you can ask agent to add couple of print statements and debug the code until it figures out the issue, also for discovery, you can do discovery with agents and generate nice output with the details you want (although not accurate sometimes)

As a JetBrains user myself, whose organization cancelled the IntelliJ license recently, I can attest things I am doing inside IntelliJ is getting less and less. I am primarily using IntelliJ for code navigation at the moment, which is still the best one

throwaw12··on JetBrains Air: A System of Products for Agentic Software Development
I like JetBrains as a company, their pricing for individuals made a lot of sense, you buy the license and you can keep using perpetual license for that version, if you want to buy newer version, you pay slightly less than year before.

I want them to succeed, but can't see how they can win in this agentic world, where people are barely opening their IDEs, and living in agents terminal whole day and from time to time opening a PR to get a review

throwaw12··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
Remember they didn't do this because they wanted to help community, they did it because community was angry and they were losing users to other harnesses.

Doesn't look like Anthropic care about dev community

throwaw12··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
I wonder why Chinese AI labs are losers?

In the short term maybe yes, in the long term, maybe they are the winners, they can build on top of cheap inference stack and eventually win on pricing

throwaw12··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Does anyone know if there is a dedicated model which makes Claude output nore human readable and less slop?

Lately it became load-bearingly-reality-difficult to not only read, but to comprehend the Claude output

throwaw12··on An open letter to Dario: if you mean it, open the weights
I am very skeptical of those 3 faces of American AI labs: Dario, Sam and Elon

Are they trying to stop everyone else from catching up with them or have they hit some kind of roadblock to improve models even further?

But IMO, they're not trying to help humanity

throwaw12··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Do you use any Israeli products? What do you say about them?
throwaw12··on Claude is only available to people over 18 years
It is bad when it's done by nations outside of the West

When West does same, it is capitalism for the prosperity of everyone, healthy competition

throwaw12··on Claude is only available to people over 18 years
Good that we have Chinese models now, we can host anywhere and use as much as we like without age verification.

Also, what's the reason banning minors? Is AI bad for mental health? If so, should companies also ban them to prevent burnout of their employees?

throwaw12··on The Gemini app is now available for Windows
question would be, is it necessary to introduce another point of failure?

of course it is possible, but is this the right time to engineer that solution and make automated screenshot uploads, or connect it to gemini to upload screenshots from time to time?

throwaw12··on The Gemini app is now available for Windows
In which topics Gemini is better? Is it ChatGPT can't handle them or doesn't provide clear explanation?
