There are more ardent second amendment supporters among tenured professors in US universities than you think.

As a (light) gamer for two decades who has been reading about the gaming industry for the past few months, I cannot understate how hard it is to create a good game, let alone a great game. So much money was spent/wasted on hopeless endeavors.

These people have no idea what good games mean.

What's their revenue?

Do players like it?

Will the history of gaming remember this game?

I was just looking at some user-facing error messages Claude generated for me which contained unnecessary/irrelevant technical details while failed to provide clear instructions or fix.

Earlier, I reviewed code that does way more than specified scope, changes public API and introduces new behavior. I had to almost redo the whole thing.

I thought to myself, no way I am going to ship the code as written without actually reading through it (or as some people put it, only looking at the "intent"). I'll get more complaints from users while having absolutely no idea what's going on with the code or actual behavior.

It's a puzzle to me how these orgs can pull it off.

As someone who cannot work on screens with resolution lower than 4k 27" monitors, the pixel density on quest 3 makes me want to cry

Benchmarks or this is no better than my one line "do a code review on this change"

Looks like it only works on a certain older Samsung phone.

Thanks to some genius at Samsung who thinks this is a good idea.

Serious answer though, LLMs are getting good at recognizing actions that have side effects these days and often won't act without explicit confirmation

I see people spending so much time creating "workflow" skills that have no benchmark whatsoever to prove they are any more effective than plain one sentence prompts.

There are so many "likely" in this comment that I don't know if I should care about a single word at all. Looks pure speculation if not fiction to me.

Looking forward to a comment that is much more grounded than substantial than this.

Security practice was generally very, very bad two decades ago, by today's standards, across the industry.

I don't see the point of being so fixated on that.

Most people, i.e. people that are not on HN, can't tell the difference between 27" 1440p vs 4k monitors, unless you ask them to look really carefully.

Lots and lots of people use 15.6" laptop with 1080p screen and are perfectly happy.

Every time I see people talk like this, I have to wonder who it is for.

Not what I am seeing. not sure if there is A/B testing here.
