OMF2097 is a classic, but OpenOMF has existed for a while[0] so I'm not sure what this brings to the table beyond being a vibe-reverse-engineered port with really awful looking AI upscaled sprites. [0]…
There's a lot of activity, but not a lot of it is from people who know what they're doing. Photocraft is less usable now than it was on release, which is impressive. One of the latest releases (I believe 0.11) had a bug…
99.999999% of people have no interest in making software, they just want to do whatever they need to with minimal hassle. You may as well say restaurants are going out of business because microwaves exist.
What a complete nonstory. Even at my 50 person startup we have an IT policy that requires employees to only use approved AI tools. For a government the only real news is that there wasn't already something in place…
Note that the 1.5m number given for Veilguard was for the vague term "engagements" rather than sales, so there's additional padding going into that figure.

Why do you implicitly assume that "generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" means the prompter is asking for a side view of a pelican wearing a scarf riding from left-to-right, done in a cartoonish style?
I mean probably? It's still a much lower-risk strategy compared to investing in individual stocks.
This is pretty much why the best financial advice for 99.99% of people is "stick with index funds". Yeah you won't get extremely lucky and 200x your money because you bought NVidia a decade ago, but you also won't lose…

I'm very pro-AI and think it's a massive leap forward for software development. However these apps are really bad. Basically nonfunctional PoCs made to generate a hype wave.
Yeah, this entire saga is really unfortunate. The narrative is really enticing (AI is obsoleting Adobe/Microsoft/other corporate software behemoths!) when the reality is it's a vibe-coded slopware that barely functions,…

The fact that you're pointing it to PyTorch code in the first place is being specific. Pointing a frontier model to a 10 or 100MLoC codebase and saying "make this code fast, make no mistakes" doesn't work. As an…

Right, so who's going to ask Claude to investigate the worker processes and fix the transaction ID overflow? The CEO? Someone in marketing? The sales team? Or maaaaaybe.... an engineer?
Because there's no one correct answer and every decision involves engineering tradeoffs. Who do you think the will be choosing whether the database uses a pessimistic or optimistic concurrency strategy? The CEO?
