So I find this to be interesting. Given that the author explicitly stated that he’s not very familiar with the industry, their viewpoint is of one who’s external to the whole bubble.

A lot of the article seems to run under the purported productivity improvements that companies make, especially considering what they mention about LLMs generating “world-class” code. Anyone who uses it for more serious projects knows there is a lot of nuance that’s not really well-captured by code-gen models (and I can see some of the HN comments giving similar experiences)

I see this as a problematic disconnect. Those on the outside have no idea of the reality on the ground, which leads them to have cautious optimism. I’m of the opinion that such opinions would quickly sour if they see the actual productivity loss.

To which I say, it’s going to take a noticeable loss of productivity for companies to recognize that they’re paying extra to get less, and i wonder if this would be the marker for this bubble popping.

Oh man I remember seeing this thing on the Discovery Science channel. They’d play a small clip of this thing between shows

Mainly Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike GO/2, cuz both of them have cosmetics with rarities obtained via what effectively amounts to lootboxes. In one sense they also have an out-of-game economy around these things where these items are traded for actual money

You can select Steam Runtime Versions in the Compatibility tab too, separate from Proton versions

Several times in my office notes i write something partially during a meeting, and end up blanking out later on what I meant to finish it with

*FEX

I’ve been using Kreate for a while, seems to be a fork of RiMusic

Hisssssss

I can only imagine it wasn’t planned properly, cuz that’s so many quiet behaviours without good parsing errors

For anyone following this, the title here is misleading. The exploit is only in userspace and doesn’t grant access to the system or kernel

Football!

Huh, i thought PZ shipped a Java runtime?

Project Zomboid too AFAIK

That BASIC GOTO joke got me real good, kudos to the author xD

Oof right in the feels

I would actually bring a parallel to the device driver-firmware blob split that’s common with hardware support in Linux. While the code needed to run inference with a model is straightforward and several open source versions exist already, the model itself is a bunch of tensors whose behaviour we don’t have any visibility into. Bias is less a problem of the inference code and more an issue with the data it was trained on

If I were to guess, it would be the additional pins. USB-C PD is capable of decent power transfer while also having enough data transfer capability simultaneously. USB-C docks are a good example, seeing that you can hook up a display, charger, other USB devices, ethernet, etc and have it all go through a single cable and (compact, convenient) connector. The reversibility is an added bonus
