The problem is deliberate hardware choices. They may be reasonable choices, but if Nintendo wanted to prioritize forever backwards compatibility, we could still have a GameCube-compatible disc drive and GBA and DS compatible catridge slots.
I originally thought the headline meant "we don't care about using professional coders at our company anymore and will rely fully on AI," but it looks to actually mean "we don't want our product to focus as being a tool for professional coders anymore, but rather non-coders." This actually makes more sense than I initially thought: it's the simple use-cases that AI's can actually reliably deliver on.

Another interesting point is that it seems that these agentic capabilities are all possible without a proprietary model. So is replit too now essentially just an LLM API wrapper with no moat?

Last thing, the statement “Finding software problems in your life is also a skill, looking at a problem and saying, ‘a piece of software could solve that’ is a skill,” is remarkable. It sounds like Replit realized that most people really don't want to be inundated with writing software and framing this aversion as a problem itself.
sorry if I missed it, but it sounds like you've just pushed the mystery one step back but still ended up with the same mystery - where did the original Titan species come from? is there any evidence for their existence other than your belief that an RNA replicator would have needed a host cell? would this host cell have been built out of lipid bilayers? what would its inside mechanisms be made of - if not protein or RNA?
Why are interest rates rising when the Fed has been cutting them?
Meanwhile, coders say "now that we have AI we don't care about CEOs anymore."

I can ask an LLM how to start a business, how to get funding, and how to say charismatic CEO-ish things to the press.

Is that what Replit did? Not kidding. Entirely.

<< I do not agree.

Ok. I accept that you do not accept my personal opinion.

<< I’m not sure in which context you are saying that.

There are multiple reasons, but speaking from perspective of crime statistics ( and I don't even mean in US, where once you are in the system, it is actively working to keep you in its grasp ), recidivism[1] is common even among prisoners, where the system actively tries to rehabilitate you[2]. I don't want to belabor that point too much though as people tend to take it as a political stance ( and it is not ). That said, those do translate to other less extreme forms of behavior.

<< But that implies people never change, never learn, never get better.

No, it is a common misconception. Going from the original recidivism claim, the rate of recidivism is not 100%, but it is high enough that it gives people pause[2]. In other words, never is never the right or accurate claim here. I can start with more likely yes than not and take it from there if it makes you more comfortable to quibble over details.

<< Specially that phrase is used in HR, what is terrible.

HR is terrible. No disagreement. I have no control over HR or their phraseology.

<< There are traits that are hard to change, and things that hardly change, as there are lots of things that do change.

You may be confusing things a little, but maybe I am misunderstanding your point. Do you want to elaborate?

<< but not to put the people in a box and never move them.

Yes. I accept the concern about being labeled even though you did not voice it. That said, the box remains a box. No amount of language will change its boxy nature. Things just are.

> but you can already get 80% of the way there, and with a senior engineer guiding a junior using genai

Getting to a demo, an MVP, or an early-stage company are probably all doable with a skeleton crew of software engineers plus LLMs. But it is difficult to imagine scenarios where 1) customers are paying you real amounts of money and 2) the technical problems the company faces remain solvable "with a senior engineer guiding a junior using genai."

It feels like a recipe for disaster--when (not if) things go awry, there is no slack in the system, nothing to absorb the shock. It's brittle. Maybe we will see lots of companies in the next few years with successful exits who are using a model like this! But I doubt many are durable businesses.

I haven't tried in the last couple of months, but last time I tried connecting Deck to a TV it was _painfully_ obvious it was Linux with a thin veneer of Steam over the top.

Some of that is Valves' to fix, but some other things are just "that's how PC games are" — I genuinely can't believe "render the UI at native screen resolution, but the game at arbitrary different one" is not a standard feature in 2024.

I don't mind my game running at 720p, if I still can view the text and UI at native 4K; but apparently this is just not possible to get on PC.

The foundations of modern software engineering were built on some high-impact research papers. From the algorithms powering most apps today to the databases storing data, many technologies we use daily emerged from academic publications. While these papers might initially seem intimidating, they offer invaluable insights that can transform how you approach software development.

Clearly you drank the Apple koolaid that later artificially limited wallpapers to 3GS (or 3G?) and above when they introduced the feature in later iPhone OS updates.

We had wallpapers and great homescreen and dock themes on jailbroken iPhones without a significant perf impact.

P.S. Contemporary Windows Mobile phones had Texas Instruments OMAP ~200MHz processor IIRC with less RAM and iPhone (2G) was comparatively great.

The Steam Deck is just a PC - nothing is locked down. You could install whatever OS you'd want to replace SteamOS, or you could buy your games somewhere other than Steam and just use SteamOS as a launcher.
Sorry, it wasn't obvious to me. I misread your point.

I'm not really trying to "win" anything. I'm telling you that you have agency. Whether that means anything to you, or if you do anything with it, I guess that's up to you.

Personally I'm not looking for my agency to change anyone else or how any company behaves. I don't do it for them, I do it for me.

I choose to support companies that align with my requirements. If a company makes me feel like crap I go elsewhere. I'm not out to change the world, just choose how I live in it.

> I would say the most I see have accept, reject and manage preferences as buttons, normally with manage preferences being a link rather than a button. The dark pattern you describe isn't on any big business websites for example.

I can accept that our website visiting patterns, and maybe our specific countries of residence within the EU, expose us to different experiences in this regard. I stand by my statement as a description of my own personal experience, but I'm willing to believe your own personal experience too.

It's also possible that I've increasingly realized that "reject" allows the companies to get away with illegally misusing the "legitimate interest" basis for data processing, so I've mentally stopped assuming that it means what it says because it often doesn't. See below for more on that.

> Out of curiosity, you mean against the spirit of the GDPR rather than the letter of it, right?

No, I mean against the letter of it as well. The free, informed consent which the letter of GDPR requires according to public and legally binding official interpretations (such as from the European Court of Justice) is not present when those dark patterns make it harder to refuse consent than to grant it.

Similarly, EU courts have been clear that simply wanting to do a bunch of tracking to facilitate more profitable personalized advertising does not legally justify the legitimate interest GDPR processing ground, but so many sites default to allowing processing based on "legitimate interest", including when you click reject for the consent question, for many of the same advertising/tracking partners where the "consent" basis is off by default. They also don't usually have a way to object en masse to these, and it's often tricky to correctly click off every single "legitimate interest" button which is falsely and illegally claimed to be a valid legitimate interest.

Plus, I've heard reports that many sites set these cookies even before consent is granted, and/or don't properly respect the refusals of consent and objections to legitimate interest processing. However this is from memory and I don't have stats or evidence to back up this statement.

The problem in all of these respects is primarily very weak and reluctant official enforcement of the rules by the relevant Data Protection Authorities and very low fines when they do enforce them. It's more profitable for companies to take the risk on genuine GDPR compliance, beyond some mild public-facing lip service and the lowest-effort bit of engineering they can do to underpin the public-facing lip service.

I remember learning about the probability of returning to the origin in a 2D random walk versus a 3D random walk when I took stochastic processes. After we proved with probability 1 you return to the origin in a 2D walk (and with probability 0 you return in 3D) my professor said "that's why you hand a drunk man the keys to a car and not an airplane when he leaves the bar". After checking wikipedia it looks like he riffed off this quote from Shizuo Kakutani: "A drunk man will find his way home, but a drunk bird may get lost forever".

> It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

Being as easy to withdraw as to give consent is technically a different thing from being as easy to refuse as to give consent, since consent that is refused was never given in the first place but consent that is withdrawn was previously given. But yeah, courts have been clear that both of these actions must be as easy as giving consent, and both requirements are too often not complied with.
What if you sell a product where it's easy to determine the cost for one user signing up by themselves, so you figure out the required markup and publish that on your site. But large organizations wanting licenses for each user will want a discount, will want finer details about contracts, and often some kind of unique adaptations to the product for their use case. The selling company needs to know if its worth the effort, in which case you have requirements gathering and negotiations. Of course there will be differential pricing depending on what the buyer company wants (cost goes up) and if it's a whale of a deal that the seller really wants (cost goes down) So... schedule a call?
I wish just for once these directors had simply made the movie of the book and damn the consequences of what Hollywood thinks audiences want.

But genocidal people are callous! I'm not being callous towards the people living through this. You don't need to convince me it's horrible.

But put yourself in the shoes of a hypothetical evil genocidal person. Assume 8% of Gaza was killed (though this figure is wrong). Having Gaza at it's 2020 population is negligible to them. They were hoping to murder everyone and reclaim their holy land or something and instead (purely from a population standpoint) they're basically just back to the status quo after the truce. Even most Nazis would say they ultimately failed in their genocidal ambitions and they killed two thirds of the Jews in Europe and 90% in Poland.

Second, 8% of Gaza hasn't been killed. By the Gaza health ministry's estimate, about 2% have been killed. Your source arrived at 8% literally by just quadrupling the number without any basis in data from Gaza. This is out of line with all the estimates from Gaza.

> Aside from that you're wrong on a factual level. The "in part" part of the '51 convention is there precisely so...

I'm aware and I didn't say anything factually wrong. Killing just part of a people doesn't legally exempt it from being genocide. But killing part of a people also doesn't imply genocide. Every war has killed part of a people. The Afghanistan and Iraq wars each killed far more people than the Gaza war, but neither is considered genocide.

If Israel were acting like the Nazis, there wouldn't be any Palestinians left in Gaza. They'd all be carpet bombed, shot on sight, or sent to forced labor camps. There's a world of difference between the two.
Density is an imperative for Los Angeles, and big sprawl-y cities generally. And we're building density! DTLA is getting more residential, train stops are getting surrounded by everything from 5+1s to superblocks, Santa Monica is getting taller, ...

That global imperative does not translate into a local demand that every SFH (and in particular, these SFHs) be replaced with denser housing. As you realize in your comment, the damaged areas aren't exactly well-positioned to support substantially denser housing.

These business types only learning enough to prompt an AI will eventually get tired of prodding the AI to fix things, unless Masad here is also selling an AI that will monitor and maintain your infrastructure for you too. They don't even have the patience to listen to developers talk about technical issues in meetings today, they're definitely not cut out for app maintenance work when the technical details start to matter.

He is doing the smart thing and selling shovels though, and this statement is part of that sell.
Getting 80% of the way there wasn't hard to begin with. If you had an idea, you could outsource it to someone on Fiver/Upwork/etc for a few hundred bucks and get 80% of the way there. The challenge for 99% of software projects is getting the other 80% of the way there, which is maintenance and integrations.

There's definitely a small chance a simple hit app could be made by a non-technical "ideas guy" and an LLM -- something like Wordle would be a good example. But Wordle wasn't the one paying engineers 6 figure salaries to begin with.

I broadly agree with what you're trying to get across here, but I don't see why I can't set my own standards for what use of my server is authorized or not.

If I publish content at my domain, I can set up blocklists to refuse access to IP ranges I consider more likely to be malicious than not. Is that not already breaking the social contract you're pointing to wrt serving content public ? picking and choosing which parts of the public will get a response from my server ? (I would also be interested to know if there is actual law vs social contracts around behavior) So why shouldn't I be able enforce expectations on how my server is used? The vigilantism aspect of harming the person breaking the rules is another matter, I'm on the fence.

Consider the standard warning posted to most government sites, which is more or less a "no trespassing sign" [0] informing anyone accessing the system what their expectations should be and what counts as authorized use. I suppose it's not a legally binding contract to say "you agree to these terms by requesting this url" but I'm pretty sure convictions have happened with hackers who did not have a contract with the service provider.
