didn't realize that, though I wouldn't be surprised then if it also changes on sony's end

from your perspective this feels like a positive, then, no? cheaper price per hour, no requirement that you use those hours all at once?

yep, actually in my area this will be cheaper than the gaming cafes people frequent—I think the lack of reasonably-local servers is the main thing that will block adoption.

I'm not so certain the average gamer is well-informed enough to realize what they're giving up, or that they feel strongly enough to take a stand for it if they do. I'm hopeful they will, we'll see.

frankly, if I'm playing a game I own on a remote server, I expect to pay something for that

and I don't actually think that's substantially different from other competitors, like geforce now

whether I will choose to play it on a different server in the first place is a different question (I won't)

what's stopping you from using the same extension (ublock origin lite) in safari?

am I missing something or is there an incredible amount of title editorialization here? on the page itself (and within the slug), the title is:

"Benchmarking AI decision models against traditional guardrails"

neither, actually, just that unattended "oneshot" sessions are incredibly token inefficient

if you talk about them (in which you lean on an LLM as a sort-of independent employee) and conservative, chunk-based usage (in which you use the LLM as more of an extension of yourself), you're comparing apples to oranges

a predefined spec obviously reduces that gap but how much is highly dependent on the level of detail

yes, exactly

Honestly, I'm not clear where the line is as far as what is reasonable, and it seems to me that no one is really addressing that question. It's easy to wave your hands and say "vibecoding is bad", without really defining what vibecoding is.

I suppose it'll be a few years before we see the true volume of technical debt catch up with the worst offenders, but even then, without the original LLM conversations associated with it, it'll be difficult to assess that in a structured way. Mind you, that doesn't even address the ever-improving models.

I think the issue here is the nebulous definition of vibecoding.

You, as an experienced engineer, are doing a lot of hand holding and review of LLM-generated output, maybe even(?) using it as purely a check on your own work. There are others, though, that are essentially outsourcing the entire process to a basic, underspecified chat prompt.

absolutely! no shade towards contributors, my impression was that compiling for iOS is just a bit of a moving target. everyone was willing and ready to help where they could, I just had a lot of trouble.

kivy, which does the same thing, has been around for over 10 years. I built my thesis in it a few years ago. not recommended—too many limitations and build issues in practice. given that this one is less mature...I'm not optimistic.

sorry, what? servo existing as a mozilla side project did not give it broad adoption

waterfox is downstream of firefox and can't meaningfully match mozilla's maintenance of the core browser

librewolf devs are just more honest about it
