You can trust Apple. I mean they openly lied to a judge last year under oath, but you can trust them.

Yep this will be massive for google theres 2+ billion active iOS devices… only question is if users will pony up the cash for it, but even if they don’t it still puts Google in a hugely privileged position in mobile.

They just conquered mobile hot off losing an antitrust case but getting away with it because AI exists, so they’ve never been in a stronger position. Both Google and Apple are fighting the EU to keep rival AI assistants at bay, they are on

I don't think this has anything particular to do with "slopcode", you make a thing and throw it out for the world to see, and the default outcome is nobody even cares enough to shrug. They didn't measure the "other

I've read before that tall people get more cancer than short people, if it's relative to how many cells you have then an extra 30 kilograms of muscle might make a difference too!

What a sad company, Apogee made some of the best games when I was a child, and of course id software's contribution to gaming is immense.

Meat of the advice is pin dependency versions and disable install scripts with "npm config set ignore-scripts true", nothing updates accidentally and nothing runs immediately when updates do happen. Also minimum package ages, but

I think the larger question is how do those marketplaces get the rights to distribute any games... this is something all Steam rivals struggle immensely with, and it's not a coding problem at all.

There are many signals that will inform them you are dead and AI will easily detect them: the change to your gaming routine and purchasing habits and platform usage as they grind to a sudden and complete halt except for the occasional sign-

Why would Steam be unable to tell an event like cheating or saying something on a forum took place before you received ownership of the game? This is a trivial problem to solve, it doesn't necessitate everyone forfeiting all their d

Some of them do, the Total War games I play the most require weekly online activation. But that's just using what you payed for, it only very slightly overlaps with what actually owning something entails.

There's still a lot of cognitive overhead adjacent to the code that grows with each platform you're supporting, because you're still having to QA and debug and build and run tests and review code changes in multiple languages

Proprietary platform-specific software has had its day. There are performant electron apps, so a better approach would be for AI to entrench the practices that achieve that and focus on high-quality shared/reusable code rather than en

That's cool, I've never seen that option because I almost never need to open the uBlock extension's little panel. I went to its settings first to look for it, and also discovered it can block JavaScript entirely by default.

It's an interesting approach but I think they are inviting problems because the line between AI-generated and AI-assisted is going to become very blurry (if not already).
