There's often a big gap between self perception and actual performance, I wonder if this actually tracks when measured.

Regardless, confidence in oneself is hardly measured, self report is likely as good as it gets.

It is not in Rust.

He's referring to people getting mad about recent games like slay the spire 2, having her name on credits

He does say LLMs made things worse, even if he's not opposed to it.

I don't see why it wouldn't, passion does not exists in a vacuum.
Re:Reverse engineer of PC-98 Touhou games retires on Sunday October 25, 2026 @07:32AM (#50230515)
Although I love the new era of LLM assisted reverse engineering, it really breaks my heart how much it negatively affect veterans in their area of passion.

I had the codebase in both cases. It read commit history, documentation files and code comments in Japanese to determine ownership.

They relaxed rules a lot over time.

Start of the year: I asked Claude to explain me the leaked Pokemon Emerald codebase,he refused no matter what I tried.

Fast forward today: I asked it to take the codebase and aim for web browsers, it didn't even complain, just did it.

Weird design choice by Nintendo. Imo, the whole timeline thing is a very clear afterthought for legend of zelda, most games have little to no relation to each other.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.
I don't think the article is reassuring it is not astroturfed? He studied only a small case, for a brand on the smaller side, and found significant amount of bots.

If you see a single sheep on an island, it is safe to assume there is more than one sheep living on the island.

Good outcome, but forced arbitration should still be illegal.
They don't even know which country he is from. Hope this gets thrown.

Also, why there's no accountability?

Even if there's no intent, it's still a cyber attack.

Re:Shopify moves back to Native from React Native on Friday September 11, 2026 @09:57AM (#49658531)
I agree, but I don't have to take it at face value either. It is just one data point after all. Usually I am interviewing in many places.

Even an emotional feedback could be potentially useful for self-improvement. Asking doesn't hurt.
Re:216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video] on Sunday September 06, 2026 @09:35PM (#49592806)
The title undersells it.

The TV has multiple mics that can't be disabled, they constantly record everything and upload transcripts in plain text.

It gathers data and metadata of all devices on the network, including IP addresses. And even analyzes network data to understand which applications are being run.

Re:The Golden Rule for Becoming a Better Writer on Sunday August 23, 2026 @10:36AM (#49409189)
Reading and writing are related but very different skills. I think reading too much can be detrimental to writing.
Judges have a lot of freedom to decide sentences. They might get one willing to throw the book on him. The risk is still there.
