You recognize that it is absurd to complain about recommendations and then recommend something you know nothing about and refuse to stand behind, right?

- Comment on 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames 4 weeks ago:
Anytime I’ve ever complained about lootboxes/gacha/gambling mechanics, I’ve not been excluding valve. That said, there is a contingent of people that likes to chime in to conversations about steam to say people shouldn’t use steam because valve does lootboxes, and I don’t think it’s terribly relevant in those conversations.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 4 weeks ago:
I mean yeah I’ll take higher quality. I’d just rather have less lossy compression than higher resolution
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’d way rather have higher bitrate 1080 than 4k. Seeing striping in big dark or light spots on the screen is infuriating
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 month ago:
“While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use.”
Lol sure. If that was the real reason they’d simply let you create a local account. The audacious lying is just insulting.

Did you even read it?
But the vast majority of people could use dry powder or soft mist inhalers,” Feldman said, noting that countries such as Sweden and Japan use alternative inhalers without any loss in health outcomes.
Feldman emphasized that the goal of the research is not to blame patients but to highlight the need for policy and pricing reform.

Trusting it to have not fucked with your data while formatting it is pretty bold.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 month ago:
They are so much better than using a search engine to parse web forums and stack overflow,
The hallucinations (more accurately bullshitting) and the fact they have to get new training data but are discouraging people from engaging in the structures that do so make this highly debatable
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 month ago:
You’re assuming honesty and they’ve earned the opposite.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 month ago:
Even that description is vastly overselling it’s usefulness. Every time someone says it’s like a junior dev I just sigh, because literally the only reason I like junior devs is because they turn into not junior devs. Never once has assigning something to a junior dev made my job easier. The entire goal is to train them to the point they make PRs that I don’t have to walk them through reworking.

It remains to be seen whether the advent of “agentic AIs,” designed to autonomously execute a series of tasks, will change the situation.
“Agentic AI is already reshaping the enterprise, and only those that move decisively — redesigning their architecture, teams, and ways of working — will unlock its full value,” the report reads.
“Devs are slower with and don’t trust LLM based tools. Surely, letting these tools off the leash will somehow manifest their value instead of exacerbating their problems.”
Absolute madness.

More reliable ones.
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 2 months ago:
People tell me the hallucinations aren’t a big deal because people should fact check everything.
- People aren’t fact checking
- If you have to fact check every single thing you’re not saving any time over becoming familiar with whatever the real source of info is
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 2 months ago:
If it’s like the last few trails game, it’s not really “you chose whether to play a action or turn based” but “play action mode to build up a meter to get an advantage in turn based node when you switch” and you only spend 10 seconds ago in action mode, and also bosses don’t even have an action phase.

it’s trivial you’ve saved time, if not, you can pull up that documentation, and reason and step through the problem with the LLM
Insane that just writing the code isn’t even an option in your mind

“Stack overflow engineer” has been a derogatory forever lol

Did you think executives were smart? What’s really heartbreaking is how many engineers did. I even know some that are pretty good that tell me how much more productive they are and all about their crazy agent setups (from my perspective i don’t see any more productivity)

Notice how there is always one close to each boss.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 months ago:
“Nintendo hard” isn’t about difficulty it is about entire games being based around knowledge checks, like having to remember to pre-swing when you jump particular gaps or get knocked into the gap in og ninja gaiden for instance.
