Building secure software isn't fundamentally complicated for the most part, it just takes rigor that most "fast moving" companies refuse to complete.

The lawyers and finance folks I know are all using Claude. I don’t think it’s as limited to coding right now as you’re thinking

Yup. Virtually all software is underspecified before being written.

Space shuttle code might be the one exception.

Seems pretty earned in a lot of ways

Their new game, Dragonwilds, has been very successful. It's extremely well-rated.

If anything, they're one of the first companies proving that getting away from gatcha/pay-to-win and pay for visuals mechanics can be a lucrative business decision in 2026, where there are many, many gamers who care about earned power (and earned aesthetic), and want that era back. Folks who no longer want to be on a seasonal loot/rating treadmill.

For me, that's personal. I've played MMORPGs my whole life - Everquest, EQ2, GW, WoW (and many xpacs), OSRS, etc. Other than OSRS more recently, I've felt left behind for many, many years now. I want to play games where the journey is the point, and where earning what you have is fundamental.

See WoW Forever, which is looking to be Blizzard's most successful move in over a decade, largely due to the trail blazed by OSRS

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't legal regulations around monopolistic behavior kind of mandate that?

Restate is directly inspired by Temporal.

I use good ol example.org

I think it's context dependent. An entire technical design doc? Trivially easy to identify the ones that heavily used AI, they're horrible, and they are written in a way that no human would write them. And they tend to contain way too many tables and redundancies.

Comment text on reddit or something though? That will be a lot harder

I don't think any of those are readable without the context of your message.

Yeah - spell checking has been on device for literal decades.

The copyright issue is an important one. Under the current law, you don’t own copyright on the output of GenAI.

They also often include external square footage like balconies which warp it.

What's the range on bluetooth? If I can reach someone via bluetooth, can't I also just talk to them? Or is it longer than I realize?

Pretty common to find at $300 on sale or whatnot.

People love it.

The Dyson Supersonic?

> require sessions with a tutoring AI

There are few things more unenjoyable than parroting things I know to AI. I hope this is not the future we create for the next generation

The internet at large is full of armchair experts, it's not just a tech thing.

> It’s optimized for projects—including games and entertainment—that combine code with large binary assets, and caters for the needs of developers and artists alike.

I mean, aren't you kind of proving the poster's point?

Fork away. If you want to put in the meaningful effort required to maintain and improve upon a project as significant as Godot, and feel that AI is a mechanism you want in order to do so, go for it. Clearly, the maintainers don't feel that that's the best approach to create the product they want to create, and they are not required to accede to the entitlements of the community.

It’s temporary, yes. Basically just collateral to promise you’ll show up for the court hearings.

Often they’re paid through bondsman who finance bonds (you pay them a fee). Which also results in a bounty hunting industry for the people that do run away.

Yep, I straight up deleted my Nextdoor. Nextdoor itself is spammy and ad ridden. And most of the content in the community is also just spam anyway.

My neighborhood has a WhatsApp. I engage with it if I feel like it. Works great

You’re describing incidental complexity of running a container on AWS, though. Which you can also do with lambda because there are 15 different ways to do it.

Dead simple on GCP Cloud Run.

As much as we may all hate to admit it, vibecoding is very close to just being the new programming.

At Amazon managers absolutely are not in the loop for layoffs. I would very much doubt they are at meta.

EMs are never in the loop for layoffs for companies of this size, because the whole company would just get forewarning of the layoffs

Watch some twitch while you monitor it - will magically go away I suspect

Another funny thing about Mac networking.

There's a game I play (Old School Runescape) that does network ticks every .6s. Mac does some sort of aggressive optimization on the network hardware/software, so network this infrequent doesn't keep the layers "hot", and you end up getting delayed ticks regularly, meaning you learn what should be happening in the game .2-.5s late. This optimization for (I assume) battery life makes the software not work as intended.

Playing anything that streams, like video, or triggering TCP connections (e.g. curl) at a more frequent clip while the game is running fixes the problem.

No way other than hacks that I've found to fix it, and I have no idea how you could report this to the right team at Apple to get it actually fixed.

Don't give it write permissions?

You could easily make human approval workflows for this stuff, where humans need to take any interesting action at the recommendation of the bot.

The ground can already support the weight. Anything whatsoever in between the ground and the occupants is sufficient if your goal is to separate their feet from it.

> It's made from a renewable resource (wood) and there's some 400+ million metric tons of paper production yearly

They don’t mean production volume, they mean physically. You can’t increase the thickness of paper by 1000x to just make thicker, stronger, paper. It’s a different material entirely.
