There is a great article floating around on the economics of AI and how parasitic the current market is between the Fab Five. We are 27-ish months since the claim that all software engineers would be replaced within six months by some of th

Agree, but I think we should hold those Apps to a higher bar. Chat interfaces are not a replacement for good UX.

I don't think that the goal of MCP is for software developers. MCP is great for: "I would like Claude Desktop/VSCode/Cursor to know about my JIRA tickets". AFAIK Most of the tools that are being used for AI Coding t

It never fails that if you look at their title it's: VP of XYZ at something.ai as well!

I believe that MCP is a bit over-marketed. MCP allows you to bring tools to agents you don't control. It's awesome, but it isn't the right match for every problem. If you believe the hype of X/LinkedIn you would think th

Great tools should be: 1. More efficient 2. Better Quality 3. Allow you to be lazier AI hits 3, but not the other two. Given the current human condition, this is a dangerous combination! It will win, but at the cost of the other two.

For one-offs, sure! Go for it. For production/things you will have to manage long-term I would recommend learning some of the space given the output of AI and your capability to surpass that pretty quickly.

Yeah, these 100x numbers being thrown out are pretty wild. It dawned on me during the Shopify CEO post awhile back. 100x is unfathomable! You did a years worth of work in 3 days? That is what 100x means.

The issue is that anything put into an LLM thread can alter the behavior of the LLM thread in significant ways (prompt injection) leading to RCE or data exfiltration if certain scenarios are met.

Agree, the problem is that investors and companies see developer salaries and want to cut that out. It's all bottom-line at the end of the day.

Theres a 3 point way to say this. Usually technology: * More efficient * Higher Quality * Less effort Most successful technologies provide multiple of these benefits. What is terrible, and the direction we are going right now, is that these

I have also stepped back from LLM coding a bit. I still utilize LLMs for API discussions, maybe 1-off things I would stackoverflow before but I have stepped back a bit from autocomplete everywhere and even agentic flows. And I feel more pro

It should be called "Denial of Attention" attack!

by 0x500x79 1y ago
This is something that I think Copilot is working on fixing actively. I think that they were focused on Agent mode previously, so put less effort into the autocomplete functionality but they are hearing more and more that this is somewhere

I'm not sure that Andrej envisioned this when he tweeted out his Vibe Coding take what seems like forever ago now. I applaud anybody who jumps into Cursor (or other AI Assisted Coding Tools) to build a new product. I think that a way t

Agree with most of your points, the one correction (that I think is important) is that they were the fastest from 1M ARR - 100M ARR. Not a straight fastest to 100M.

Can you point me to a blog or feature of them that does this? I used to work at R7 up until last year and there was none of this functionality in their products at the time and nothing on the roadmap related to this. It was all static conte

There are a lot more factors that they will be subject to in an IPO that I think they could have avoided through this deal. IPOs/Stock market has not been kind to companies that do not have great margins and the current rumor mill has

I worked at a company that had an internal website that showed all people, departments, teams, and had a filter you could use for new employees or employees that left. It was sort of a double edged sword: you had enough information to start

At the end of the day the number of instances that are publicly available is just clickbait in an article. What really matters is whether or not this is being actively exploited in the wild. I have my own issues with Clickbait and dramatiza

Breaking records does not mean profitable, having first hand knowledge of the situation esports (for Riot) is still very unprofitable -- the way that they try to measure esports profitability is by player increases/purchases after the

Another thing -- if you are ever need Sudafed (the real stuff) and they are out ask for one of the allergy medicines, the -d version. Claritin-D, Zertec-D all have the primary active ingredient as Sudafed bundled with the Allergy medicine.

Once you get into certain skill levels in matchmaking it is very common to run into cheaters, depending on the game. If you think about above average lobbies, the number of cheaters will go up until you get to another MMR threshold just due

> Again this is just not true - the revenue and profit of casual games dwarfs competitive games. This is actually very, very true. Most esports departments are not incredibly profitable (I actually worked for one of the biggest esports g

I think the metric is blocked controllers, which is a small subset of 3rd party controllers. So far the most common people complaining about this change is cronus and xim users not legit players. Most 3rd party controllers that are being so

It is not all 3rd party controllers. It is "unauthorized accessory" controllers which excludes devices that are part of the "designed for Xbox” hardware partner program.

by 0x500x79 3y ago
Possibly, I think the math on number of people that currently purchase controllers that will be blocked in the future is a very small amount of money compared to the possibility of losing that revenue to other gaming sources if that is the

This has always been my thoughts as well, and it seems like they have the data required, but I always think they are worried about some false positive issues. These companies should have the resources to build deployable models for this.

I think that this is a response to the rising usage of the Cronus and/or other controller modification tools that give players advantages (cheats). For example one of these "Mods" for Cronus state that they are: a dynamic, fu
