Maybe Anthropic could provide a Claude tier where you get access to Max-tier subscriptions in exchange of participating in experimental drug programs? Would be a huge boon for AI enthusiasts and other tech optimists.

It seems that you can only get 32GBs of RAM maximum for the new 14" M6 Macbooks? M5 still has 64GB options available. edit: the larger configurations are only available for the Pro and Max chips apparently.

It’s also no mistake that a certain ”flying” car was shown recently, it’s like jangling shiny keys in front of people and the general public, including HN, ate it wholesale.

Great article that really demonstrates why the copious amounts of AI generated PC ports do not fit under ”preservation” guise, which to me has been the point of doing these ports in the first place and what many of the enthusiasts before the LLM wave were aiming for.

> There are no noticeable bugs and all features of the original game are present.

>

> The remaining functions have been reworked repeatedly. While they still don’t match byte for byte, we believe their semantics are correct.

As there are no way to confirm this outside of ”believinh”, what you are left is with a end product that might contain thousands of micro changes that essentially make the game something else than it was intended to be.

Maybe it helps that 50 years ago people could actually afford to buy things like big houses where to throw parties at.

Have you considered looking up designers you like and asking them instead of "budget friendly designers on Fiverr"?

The author claims that the AI posters don’t have to be horrible, but fail to see that the dozen variations generated are not distinctive - they might have somewhat different typography or imaginary, but still have the same AI uniformity and smell as the crappy restaurant poster you see on the street. The core issue is not only technical, but also the lack of vision and imagination when creating art or even infographics.

I played it with Playstation VR2 and it was great, cost me around 350 euros for the headset and the PC dongle during black friday some years ago, but it might be more expensive now.

Unlike Steam keys, there are no ways to distribute Playstation keys outside of Playstation platform. By removing retailers and second hand markets, what exactly would make Sony or any other publishers to continue offering any deep discounts on their products on a closed platform, especially when their biggest competitor Xbox has dropped the ball heavily.

Homebrew 6.0.0 seems to be the first major version of brew that is heavily written using AI. There’s new document at https://docs.brew.sh/Responsible-AI-Usage that was added 11 hours ago. Do you think that these guidelines have been followed consistently since 5.0.0?

Breaking changes have had that tag for ages

With it’s current AI setup GitLab still couldn’t make anything that could be called great in UX so I can’t wait to see what they can do by eliminating the remaining human factor. Can’t personally wait seeing tickets like these [0] open for months with bots telling you that everything will be alright.

The Wallet Pass[0] and PassKit[1] documentations are some of the sparsest and cryptic documentations around filled with absolutely archaic flows that _need_ to be supported for proper integration. If this solves the need of ever having to deal with those features ever again.

Luckily we have had the perfect paradigm for this kind of mindset for decades: proprietary software. The spirit of open source is already essentially dead due to it being co-opted by companies and individuals working only for their own gain, and for it to rise again we probably need a total reset.

Fugazi released almost 900 shows on CD in the early 2000’s, costing 5 bucks a piece. Some of them are available on their Bandcamp page these days too https://fugazi.bandcamp.com/.

> This does not mean that Slack’s engineering investment was wasted, because Slack also built enterprise sales infrastructure, compliance capabilities, data security practices, and organizational resilience that a fourteen-day prototype does not include.

The LLM-agent team argument also misses the core point that the engineering investment (which actually encompasses business decisions, design and much more than just programming) is what actually got Slack (or any other software product) to the point where is it is now and where it's going in the future and creating a snapshot of the current status is, while maybe not absolutely trivial, still just a tiny fraction of the progress made over the years.

Kino Regina, the movie theater mentioned, is owned and operated by the Finnish Arts and Culture Agency and does not only show classics, but also a lot of contemporary movies of note, right up until recent releases. It has modern hi-grade digifilm equipment but is also equiped to show film from eg. 70mm and cinemascope formats. They also host concerts and seminars.

Personally I’d like to thank you for raising the point, it seems that tsc members are willing to ram the PR through regardless as per jasnell’s LLM analysis that honestly seems like a hostile gish galloping attempt than an actual honest analysis.

Buddy invented RobotFramework, great job.

I guarantee you that I would endlessly rather read your streams of thought about amateur boat building than read another AI-generated Hacker News comment ever again. Don't sell yourself short.

Whoa, I think GPT-5.3 Instant was a disappointment, but GPT-5.4 is definitely the future!

Every other minute some bots is creating an issue that a bot is trying to solve via a pull request which is reviewed by multiple bots. Future is now, good luck and have fun.

That’s the conclusion you get when you sit in the board of 20 companies where all the CEOs are telling you the same thing but you don’t understand that you are all just selling the same golden shovel to each other. Obviously this can also be backed by their own experiences too: 100% of code is written by AI, because last time they actually wrote code was in 2010.

Whoa, I think Claude Sonnet 4.5 was a disappointment, but Claude Sonnet 4.6 is definitely the future!

The history back/forward navigation is broken when trying to browse the historical downtimes which probably says everything that is needed.

I agree with the general statement, if you didn’t spend time on writing it, I am not going to spend time reading it. That includes situations where the writer decides to strip all personality by letting AI format the end product. There’s irony in not wanting to read AI content, but still using it for code and especially documentation though, where the same principle should apply.

Whoa, I think GPT-5.3-Codex was a disappointment, but GLM-5 is definitely the future!

GitHub has had customer visible incidents large enough to warrant status page updates almost every day this year (https://www.githubstatus.com/history).

This should not be normal for any service, even at GitHub's size. There's a joke that your workday usually stops around 4pm, because that's when GitHub Actions goes down every day.

I wish someone inside the house cared to comment why the services barely stay up and what kinds of actions are they planning to do to fix this issue that's been going on years, but has definitely accelerated in the past year or so.
