Jesus that feels like it has even more claude-isms than usual.

Yeah I basically have to delete or rewrite any code comments Opus puts in, they are super wordy and circular. Plus, and this is what bothers me most: it refers to issues/explanations that came up in my chat with it, but which are compl

Well early iPhones did not have app multitasking, so that‘s quite the difference. Any app was killed when when closed.

Right but it still gets put into boxes and flown over by a 747. Of course it‘s more complicated than that, but most contenders for complex machines are much more built in-place, and not a complete 'product' being assembled.

I‘d probably call it the most complex commercially available machine. You can‘t buy a Space Shuttle, or an LHC. You can buy a TSMC lithography machine, and it‘ll be delivered to you in much the same way as other equipment. Also, I think the

I can‘t imagine Apple doesn‘t have capacity booked well in advance, and their suppliers aren‘t going to stiff them because they‘d lose those long-term contracts. Sure, if the shortage lasts a year or more, there‘ll be issues, but if it‘s sh

This isn‘t your main point, but the iPhone absolutely was the biggest revolution since the Internet. The world before it is wholly different to the world after it. AI looks to have a similar impact, but just like the iPhone it‘ll be a few y

Too expensive maybe, or just not effective anymore as they used up any available training data. New data is generated slowly, and is massively poisoned with AI generated data, so it might be useless.

Okay, but when those sites go out of business, where does the AI get its information from? This is obviously not sustainable.

Wouldn‘t that be the opposite of aligning incentives? Unions want the workers to do well, stockholders want the company to do well. The company paying people less is better for stockholders, worse for employees obviously. So that seems like

Yeah this is exactly it, you might think you are close but you actually just started, and the actual work is still to come. Whether you want to push through the initial honeymoon phase, where you are done with the fun part that you started

This is exactly what we do for the Factorio modding API docs. The docs are embedded inside the codebase, alongside the classes and methods that implement the functionality the docs describe. So they are written and adjusted as the functiona

I work on the game. The debug library was disabled for other security holes that were brought to our attention, so it wouldn‘t be related to this, but I thought it was interesting to mention. I believe the change was not mentioned in the ch

Factorio disabled bytecode loading in response to this. Bytecode did allow for some cool stuff like writing mods in a preprocessor language that spits out Lua bytecode, but ultimately the security issues were more important to address. Almo

The source is not publicly available, no. It‘s still being actively developed and sold after all. There isn‘t really much of a barrier between engine and 'scripting', it‘s all custom and integrated. The reason there are so few bug

What‘s the alternative though? For URLs for example, would you have to put a JSON structure into the browser? That‘s obviously not going to happen.

Interesting that is mentions the safety car making you need more fuel, when really you need less because of the reduced speed under it.

No VC money, just three people developing a game they‘d like to play themselves, and it grew organically from there, financed by the money made from selling the game.

I work on the game, and can confirm this technique is used wherever it makes sense!

Well, there is always the Belt Overflow mod [0], but is is truly masochistic. [0] https://mods.factorio.com/mod/belt-overflow
