If you decide to buy into Sony’s future, make sure you do it with your eyes wide open. Unlike Valve who has never taken away what people have bought without a refund (to my knowledge), Sony doesn’t deserve that benefit of the doubt: https:

JangFX is the company I believe. They have many products. One of them, EmberGen (a fluid simulator), is fully written in Odin. No idea what the rest are written in.

The fact that a fast track was even considered is controversial IMHO. People flipping out, especially if their retirement is tied up with those indices, is to be expected. No one wants to be a bag holder for billionaire insiders.

Prompt engineering is such a weird thing. Isn’t interacting with AI using natural language one of its main selling point? You don’t have to learn an artificial query / programming language.
