Doesn't really matter. As always it's integration that makes a product. Talking to bots on Telegram isn't new. Running agentic loops isn't new. Giving AI credentials and having it interface with APIs isn't new. Trig

Totally fine, thanks for the answer.

I really enjoyed this article as well! I'm still curious, however: > That's not a marketing angle—it's a headline that writes itself. Any ChatGPT assistance there?

I don't read their comment as implying this. It might in fact hint at the opposite; it's far more likely for the less senior author to get thrown under the bus, regardless of who was lazy.

Also ironic: When the same professionals advocating "don't look at the code anymore" and "it's just the next level of abstraction" respond with outrage to a journalist giving them an unchecked article. Read thr

This is relatively common. The mouse interaction code doesn't necessarily look at the visual asset, and in many UI toolkits the ability to have interaction targets located and sized differently from visual features is a feature.

FWIW, the FreeCAD 1.1 nightlies are much easier and more intuitive to use due to the addition of many on-canvas gizmos.

Maybe they set up an agent for it.

It's the same how HN mostly reacts with "don't censor AI!" when chat bots dare to add parental controls after they talk teenagers into suicide. The community is often very selfish and opportunist. I learned that the role

So I'm one of the people who shuts down their computer at the end of the day and starts fresh. I don't use any type of session resume at the OS level or in the browser, I don't like it. But! I've learned to harness the p

Qt Quick 3D in Qt is I guess a similar value prop. They have a fun demo of a 3D shooter in it.

I see, you did an AI demo of captioning and search over captures specifically for complex geometric objects. I guess my interest was more piqued by the "CAD" part.

While true, the caption also notes this isn't his model.

Interesting. My go-to for CAD files is usually https://grabcad.com/library I searched this for "WAGO" and "XT90", so I guess not the same use case. Some hits for "Raspberry Pi", though.

Hi, I make a Wayland-based desktop environment and ship a few million cars a year using Wayland. Feel free to get in touch if you want to talk to someone (for free advice) about this porting problem you're having.

Nonsense. People reimplementing stuff to see if they can is unrelated to copyright. See the many implementations of vi.

Software history is rife with projects that outlive a person like that leaving, though. Ulrich Drepper comes to mind immediately. They don't own the project.

Gamasutra has a famous line of articles where game developers provide retrospectives on how the development of their titles went, maybe I'm influenced by that. I'm aware about the use in incident reports of course, but then you st

I resonate with that. I also find writing code super pleasurable. It's immediate stress relief for me, I love the focus and the flow. I end long hands-on coding sessions with a giddy high. What I'm finding is that it's possib

I understand there's been drama, and someone walked away or was pushed out. I don't quite care enough to understand it all or point at guilty parties. However, my current understanding is that the project remains active, so titlin

It's also that when you move to being a leader, you suddenly have to learn to quantify and measure your productivity in a different way, which for a while can really do a number on your self-image. What does it mean to be a productive

I think this is something else, though. Even before AI really hit sweng, there were early signs of a collective tech depression a la "The best idea we can come up with is strapping screens to people's heads?", the "Are w

My advice to everyone feeling existential vertigo over these tools is to remain confident and trust in yourself. If you were a smart dev before AI, chances are you will remain a smart dev with AI. My experience so far is that to a first app

Are there any good Vulkan tutorials that are continuously updated to reflect these advancement and ease of use improvements? It's a similar challenge to the many different historical strata of C++ resources.
