I still have no idea if they really want to make Fable usable in a plan in the future or not. They said it's their goal but here they still double down that it will be out of plans, period.

Or exactly as planned.

I actually had a lot of problems with software cult followers of influencer gurus like ThePrimeagen, Lex Fridman, Theo, etc... Those are so worst. You can't resonate with them.

UE 5 doesn’t come with a scripting language even though there is blueprints which a node editor easy enough to be used by non dev. Studios like embark (The Finals, ARC Raiders) have been successful integrated AngelScript in UE 5 and use it in these games. UE 6 will see the appearance of Verse: the scripting language used for Fortnite (and the end of blueprint at some point). At first I was sad to see yet another language but it is worth looking at the doc to see why and how it makes a lot of sense.

It’s only a question of time. I think right now 60% of AI paper published is from China. They are already the bests at cost optimization

I wonder if they are not just gonna wait that GPT-5.6 is released before doing any move.

I was planning on using it all until today so I burned quite a lot yesterday.

You unplug yourself from media and social media. And maybe open the news paper of your town if you want to spice up your life. The rest you will probably hear all about it anyway from families or colleagues if it’s something big. We are in the era of over connections. We need to know how to unplug. It doesn’t have to be as extreme as u said but if someone is as much as affected like this, this person definitely needs a huge break.

For ICE it’s kinda a big stretch can we agree? And in this case the person does have control. This person does have agency over the issue and should regularize their situation as soon as possible.

It’s more a question of knowing when to unplug yourself on things that are affecting you but that you cannot control. From government news to something bad happening miles from you. These news can affect you but you have no control over the situation. Not doing so is actually one way to get depression.

I would have like to see the map of cities that matches this 3-30-300 rule.

I agree for the comparison.

Now for Rust I don’t think it is going to change a lot. Because it is based on ML, it has the best foundations and all features are known. The question is more how much Haskell vs script/imperative do you want your language to be, and what’s the purpose of the language rather than we had the wrong paradigm and found a new better one. For Rust 99% of its features are known and most are already implemented.

Maybe things around the borrow checker, and await, but beyond that nothing as much as what C++ saw in its history. Even more when for instance you see the article from the guy doing Gleam where traits (impl) are not necessary, all you need is data and function to have the same functionality. Or how ML have been the main factor to most new languages or new features to existing languages.

The future is ML, with languages dedicated to specific use cases and niches. And also ML languages easily readable by AI.

As of today they can't. You have to tell them what the new API looks like, which new classes they have to create and describe them in detail, etc... You have new projects that try to add good practices in the prompt [0] or audit your code once in a while [1] but it's not enough.

Right now they can be autonomous to finding bugs and inconsistencies. But not architecture or even just creating a long enough PR without any guidance and feedback.

For sure this have been greenlighted all the way up to CEO so…

Fuzzing can help with that. But it’s not only applicable to Rust.

For Actix web he was using “unsafe” to increase performance. That doesn’t mean the code written was unsafe… The Rust community was turning to a cult on this topic when perfectly experienced C++ can write code would need the unsafe in Rust when they perfectly know the code isn’t. It’s good for the community to push people to avoid to use unsafe but not to that extend of drama and bullying…

This! I now have to fight bad tech decisions at my companies because many devs follow influencers.

Look also at the hate spread against UE5… It’s everywhere and half of the arguments are falsehoods made by influencers with no real experience in the industry…

That is how all economies grow.

No it’s one way but there are many other ways. Look at the US, stating that they grew because China and the EU exported their industries there is simply false. But through technology advancements, market size, market leadership, etc… is closer to how they achieved their economic growth.

Interesting read. I totally agree but like he said it takes 2 to 4 times the time to generate one. With today’s prices for tokens it’s not affordable. But once models are getting cheaper and cheaper I am sure the industry will move to this.

You are mixing cost and progress. It’s not because it’s more and more expensive that progress is slowing down by itself.

I knew about this library but is it legal in the EU? Because that library works very well

New grads who spend weeks refactoring code are going to get lapped by new grads who ship something and iterate. There's just a faster feedback loop now.

With AI becoming so prevalent, on the long run I won’t be so sure. True experts will become more and more rare.

It’s absolutely a move from Sam Altman’s playbook but it got traction because it’s not coming from Sam Altman and the US rejection helped to give credibility to fear Mythos’ findings.

Opus 4.7 may be incredible but for how long? And they may have Mythos but I feel like they will put it out if pressed too much by their competitors. And again for how long will they keep the advantage?

At the speed everything is advancing I don’t think it’s such an advantage. They all catch each other up pretty fast. That’s why I prefer to pay Cursors and have access to all of them instead of being lock to a single one (even if that means to lose some discounted credits). If they opened Mythos today at a good price that would be something but that’s not the case and it won’t happen.

Tim Cook took Steve Job's vision and really took it to the moon.

He only carried what was left from Steve Jobs. But nothing special or groundbreaking came from him. Apple Vision failed, the transition to AI failed, many people still dislike what is done with the MacBook, he agreed to have the horrible glass UI design just like what Windows did a decade ago, and he failed to find the next Jony Ive, etc... Sure he was an awesome COO. But as a CEO, he was certainly way below Steve Jobs and even less taking his vision "to the moon".

It is. With 10k MRR it represents 0.15% of the revenue. Having the whole backend costing that much for a company selling web apps is like it’s costing zero.

I think there are less experts on HN than years ago or a decade ago. And the culture of HN is getting slightly changing to a more Reddit culture every year.

It’s too bad because it’s the only place I know where you have experts in tech but also in other industries. And where I got very interesting discussions.

15 years ago I had a Pocket Street Fighter game (Street Fighter characters in their baby version) and it was running fast even on a TI-89! You had 6 characters or so with Riu etc… It was really impressive. For sure the most well crafted back in the days.

I found it! It was called Texas Fighters: https://youtu.be/zZIqFJHe3yU?is=sVowojfWws9uwwRl

After the failure against countries with no military might like Vietnam, Irak, Afghanistan, and now Iran, I wouldn’t place a lot of importance into how much tech and quantity in the military plays a critical role into winning wars today.

I don't see how any rational investor could still see US companies as a secure investment

You are right it won’t be as secured as before but it’s only risk management. As much as investing in a oil company in Brazil is a risk because you could have their government takeover the company to make it part of the government and screw you in the process.

It’s still tradable.

Yes and no. What many call "dying cash cows" are often doing just fine, it’s just our perception of it that make them want to die. An example: Facebook. Could be considered a dying cash cows while looking at its products but it’s actually a growing business. Despise what their products are, their lack of innovation, and them not being able to compete against TikTok or make the app that will replace it, their business and so their stock have been all increasing.

I copied your comment to Gemini Pro and it has some interesting things to say.
