Firebreak was fine in my opinion. From the start Remedy was clear about it being the kind of game you pick up for an hour or so every now and then. Sort of like Left 4 Dead.

The problem was that majority of players wanted to have enough content in the game to play it multiple hours a day for months.

Personally, I think the game, despite it being a "failure", is going to be important in the future. It is an online multiplayer "live service" game built on Northlight. Remedy had to build networking and multiplayer capabilities into their in-house game engine. And it worked really well. This could allow them, in the future, to expand more if they want to.

To add to this list, Remedy Entertainment. They don't miss.

- Alan Wake 1 & 2 - Control & Control Resonant (came out last month) - Quantum Break

They are a small studio but release fantastic works of art every time. If you haven't heard of them, you might've heard of Max Payne. It was developed by these guys.

I think it's because not many know how to measure it properly.

I can output 5 useless/bad features in a day with Claude or I can output 1 useful feature per 2 day period. Which one has better impact on ROI?

In this example, it might seem like it's an easy answer. But, in the real world, it is a lot more nuanced and much more difficult to measure and so not many are bothering to do it and are opting in for the simple solution of following the hype.

> planning every last detail before writing code is boring

Not only that but you can't really plan everything. It is impossible. Without LLMs, with every line of code you are making a decision or discovering something new that must be dealt with or realizing how the current thing might impact something else and so on.

There is no way for a programmer to consider all of these little things ahead of time and if an attempt is made, it will take as long as actually writing that code.

> Within reason

Reason dictates having redundancy in place. Having prepared scenarios for what to do. A lot of countries clearly don't have that and they are operating on the assumption that no major disruption is going to happen.

Depending on resources coming from historically unstable locations and not having plans to prepare for such instability is just foolish.

Because a competent country/government should plan ahead for shortages of any vital resource it depends on.

I recently built a home server and used Noctua fans for the first time. I absolutely love how quiet they are. If I didn't know the room had my server in it and was running, I wouldn't even notice the very quiet sound of the fans.

I am running them at about 800rpm and the CPU is usually between 33~37 degrees.

When I rebuild my main PC, I will surely go with them again.

This is the first thing I read this morning and I'm not even a dad yet (or maybe never).

I miss this side of HN nowadays.

For me, almost every single time a conversation like this happens in real life it boils down to the one side claiming that "This is the future" and "Don't get left behind" followed by a torrent of hype and buzzwords. So no, there is no interesting conversations to be had about LLM programming anymore.

Fair enough. I misunderstood.

Please read the article.

> The WSJ report added that the rule is expected to make quarterly reporting optional and not eliminate it altogether.

So companies can still do their quarterly reporting if they and their investors want that.

I thought it was 72.

English is my 3rd language. I still disagree with using an LLM to write on one's behalf. I either get to read your thoughts in your voice or the comment is getting a downvote/flag.

> AI is a great equalizer when it comes to communication in English.

Good argument for it but I think 80/20 split applies here. It is likely that 80% of the time it is used to farm for upvotes and add noise.

> And despite what people say, the way you write is very much judged as an indication of your education and intelligence.

I have come across plenty of content and online interactions in English where English was the Author's 2nd or even 3rd language and I find that putting a small disclaimer about this fact is more than enough to bypass such judgement.

One thing not mentioned here is the Photos app. Out of the box, it is the default way to view images on Windows. That app is so bloated and slow to start that Microsoft announced they were going to preload it as well so it "starts" faster.
