Curious to know what's new in it about the way to make games?

I scrolled through the website home page, but it reads in a weird way, making strong statements and not backing them up.

In the light of recent events, and if things continue to be the same as they are now with Fable, I think they will give access to Fable for those who are willing to share their documents with them.

But that's obviously just a speculation.

Everything is a prompt to LLMs

Exactly, my understanding is also that they host agents as a service. The actual use case is mentioned in the end of the article, which makes it hard to reason about.

Anyway. General advice: treat harnesses as any other (third-party) software that you run on your server. Modern harnesses (the ones from big companies, you need to subscribe to) are black boxes. Would you run a random binary you fetched from the internet on your server? Claude code, codex etc. are exactly this.

That's a fair point, but claude code is not an editor (yet?), and when you use claude code, and allow it to commit things, it's almost certainly "co-authored by llm".

Back to vscode, people get the "co-authored" line even if they didn't use the AI features.

For those, who want to/need to keep some files uncommitted, the workaround I found is to put gitignore into some nested directory:

  mkdir junk
  echo '*' > junk/.gitignore
jj won't track those files under ./junk/

Also might be relevant for claude, since it wants to put its settings into the repo itself as `.claude/`:

  mkdir junk/.claude
  bwrap ... --bind "$(pwd)/junk/.claude" "$(pwd)/.claude" ...
For some more common files, I use global gitignore file as

  # ~/.gitconfig
  [core]
    excludesFile = ~/gitconf/gitignore_global

  # ~/gitconf/gitignore_global
  .envrc
  .direnv/*

I was surprised to see literally invalid names in the "bad" section, e.g. "Cannot start with a digit". Why even presenting this if it's rejected by the compiler?

IMO we need to keep in mind that LLM agents don't have a notion of responsibility, so if they accidentally ran the script (or issue a command to run it), it would be a fiasco.

Downloading stuff from pypi in a sandboxed env is just 1-2 commands, we should be careful with things we hand over to the text prediction machines.

Nicely looking page, but has too many errors. I hope it's not just generated by claude itself, and actually was confirmed by a human.

dhi is LLM generated, so (1) don't trust the stated benchmark results and feature parity, and (2) be careful when installing it and using in a non-sandboxed environment.

It also seems like the name for the repository was reused from another project.

It's not very obvious which places are available for drawing. At first I thought it pulls Google street view, so I just zoomed in to some place I visited recently, but there was nothing.

So it turned out the spots on the map are actually the available panoramas, and not just a heatmap of the signatures.

Cool idea overall!

The statement in the article's title is very strong, and I have not found a confirmation of it in a logical sense. Author observes the current state of things with LLMs and makes a conclusion based on how things turned out to be, somewhat fitting the conclusion to the observation.

What I meant by "you need an allocator" is "you need to explicitly pass the allocator of your choice to the function" [if you want to attach some data to the error]. In rust you can simply return anything as error, not only an enum variant.
