Agreed I loved it! Right up until they turned it into a musical for some reason. Me and my wife call it "doing a magicians" when a TV show suddenly starts singing for no reason. But yeah up until that point it was great!

I've seen Claude do similar stuff in code. I asked it to add a new API endpoint in a project. I specified it should use rx.java flowables as the framework I'm using has built in support. I specified to use micronaut data for the d

Ot to the article, but I just feel I need to strongly recommend The Hierarchy by James Islington. It's pretty much the same idea as the above titles but omg it's so well written. Absolute must read!

I'm not saying he's a great guy, I'm saying death threats are a bridge too far, especially for professional journalists.

Damn, for someone asking specifically for experts with blogs, you sure have harsh opinion of experts with blogs!

Ars is already a anti-Elon echo chamber. I stopped paying my subscription after a moderator endorsed a commenter issuing a (almost certainly empty) death threat to Elon. I think death threats are a bit too far. But in that environment I hav

How useful could something like this be for research? I'm not a neuroscientist so I have no clue, but it seems like the only justification I can think of..

Man the name really threw me for a minute. Polis is the correct spelling for police in my native Swedish and I got through the first 2 paragraphs wondering what any of this has to do with law enforcement. Then it dawned on me. Edit to add:

Cute. But I saw through your thin veil Mr Tepes. The irony of bragging about your opsec and revealing your true identity for leverage in the same sentence is considerable. Anyway, I hope your son, Adrian, is doing ok. I fondly remember hunt

I think we're witnessing a schism within the vampire community. By the end of the article, the author is less than subtle about being Dracula, and is trying to use the respect his name no doubt commands among vampires to get the unruly

Common misconception that. I also thought the hardcore gamer games would be in the top. They're not even close. Minecraft has sold 350 million copies. Call of duty: black ops a measly 43 million. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

Hmm... My source here is internal king communications, they were very proud of it. But I left there years ago, so I guess it might've changed? Pretty sure it was the biggest at the time at least.

I'd add the hugely successful studios to that list. Even after ms acquisition, to the best of my knowledge neither of the 2 studios I worked at had any layoffs. But they boast the most sold video game in the history of videogames (Tetr

Heh, I was working at 2 of those gaming companies when they were acquired by m$. I almost fear taking another job in the gaming industry, there seems to be some kind of bastardised version of Murphy's law that any gaming company that h

Not quite everywhere. There's a common denominator for all of those: Microsoft. Their business is buying good products and turning them into shit, while wringing every cent they can out of the business. Always has been. They have a gra

"If you haven't spent at least $1,000 on tokens today per human engineer, your software factory has room for improvement" Apart from being a absolutely ridiculous metric, this is a bad approach, at least with current generati

Sure! They do anyway, or did you think heroin disappeared since it was banned? It does need to be regulated. Doing it well will be difficult in a lot of places. I'd suggest modeling heroin sales after Nordic alcohol market: there'

I can though, that's the whole point. I chose to quit Facebook and Reddit. I chose to stop drinking alcohol. I chose to keep smoking weed. Some choices are better than others, from certain perspectives, that doesn't make them any

False equivalence. Unless you can point to an instance where tiktok claims to cure cancer or erectile dysfunction with their recommendations. To be clear: I don't like these addictive recommendation engines. That's why I avoid the

I don't like this narrative. I'm a person, and HN is the only social media I use.I tolerate this one because I find the addictiveness off-putting, but unlike other social media HN doesn't engage in that much. I'm not som

Meh, it's 2026! Unless you're Google, you should probably just pipe all your data to /dev/null (way faster than postgres!) and then have a LLM infer the results of any get requests

Or that the internet is full of mean losers. Your premise assumes anyone with an internet connection is successful and I very much doubt that assumption holds water.

Oh so people are essentially just piping the internet into sudo sh? Yeah I can see how that might possibly go awry now and again. Especially on a machine with access to bank accounts.
