We don't need code anymore, we just need intermediate deterministic artifacts that the AI can produce and the user can validate in order to circumvent the - by definition - non-deterministic nature of LLMs.

What should we call these intermediate deterministic artifacts? Code!

Im guessing the lock-in is strong enough that they can eat the reputational hit while getting meaningful training data by subsidizing the free users.

Github has a decade of positive reputation to deal out, I don't see Grok or OpenAI jumping in and competing with that.

> I really hate looking at the terminal and don’t know how to customize it to make it more readable

On a comment where you discuss a powerful tool for looking up information, you claim ignorance about a piece of information that same tool could explain to you! What the heck!

My initial experience with Perplexity was it citing AI blog spam as a primary source so consistently I immediately dropped my subscription. (this was over a year ago, I haven't re-evaluated them since)

At the same time we have to value domain experience when it is a cornerstone. Ive worked for "middleman" companies that at face value seem superfluous only to realize we handled relationships or bureaucracies much more effectively then our clients could and thereby provided concrete value well beyond our cost.

Jagex is an interesting finance story if you look into how they're passed around between private equity as one of the UKs largest game studios.

As a product the inside scoop is that the recent success of the game is in large part due to the community itself. The community development of Runelite, the OSRS wiki, the 117 HD plugin, and YouTube personalities.

I don't have high hopes that the status quo between Private Equity and the community will sustain itself.

And you're just hitting the surface.

Without a 200gb download size how do I know this game is good? How in 2026 does a predominantly single player game not have additional forced downloads for its multiplayer mode? I am a pro gamer, why is there no deluxe version priced twice as high as the base game without additional content? Speaking of deluxe versions, how am I supposed to buy more virtual currency packs to speed up my leveling? No Battle Royale Mode placed above the fold in the game menu?

This is single-A at best.

My advice? Wait for the remaster 5 years from now. Or re-purchase it on the next console generation to at least get a AA experience.

Except her lawyer was there to explain court procedure and implications.

In vigorously advocating for her client, who expressed a desire for maximum sentencing, the laywer presumably would have explained its pikely effect (biasing the judge).
