Forcing their own proprietary filename was clearly a business decision (it's free advertising, along with commit co-authorship). I wonder what made them go back on it.

It's not new. Maybe this page is new, but being able to set up a quick tunnel on trycloudflare.com without an account has been a thing for years.

That's just AI at work. It's much easier to ask Copilot to make some unnecessary UI change or add a new minor feature nobody needed, than it is to ask it to fix the fundamental stability and reliability issues that plague the software.

And knowing how these sorts of large corporations are structured, I wouldn't be surprised if the people who spend a few hours prompting AI to add some new unnecessary feature are being rewarded more than the people breaking their backs trying to stop the site from collapsing under the weight of 100 million vibe coders.

Indeed. Impoverished third world countries are known for having very low birthrates.

I keep hearing about how software development is a solved problem in the age of AI... and then reality hits, like we see here.

Except most vibe coders proudly admit that they don't even look at the code anymore. Can you really make those small decisions during the cooking process if you're not touching or even looking at the food at any point?

> Are you saying Assassin's Creed 87 or Far Cry 32 aren't cheap clones of its own previous incarnations?

If your goal was to prove that people don't care about how derivative games are, I think you picked some pretty bad examples, because Ubisoft is not in a good place right now. And I'd argue that the main reason behind it is precisely that lack of originality.

Hell, even the biggest titans of the "release the same game every year" part of the industry, such as Call of Duty, have been stumbling in recent years due to people inevitably getting bored of playing derivative slop made by people who don't understand what made the originals good, and can only mindlessly copy it over and over.

"That is almost to say that the only part of the meal that matters is the cooking. But the cooking is only a tiny part. I take joy in describing the food I want and bringing that vision to life."

Hundreds of hours doing what? If you're not reviewing the code, then what are you doing, just planning features? Because that would be trivial to copy in a fraction of the time by just feeding screenshots of your app to one's AI of choice.

An interesting coincidence.

As of right now, they only expire credits if you don't use the account at all for a year. This is different from, say, OpenAI, where your credits expire unconditionally. That said, they do deserve the right to expire them regardless, so this could change in the future.

There are none, this isn't a problem specific to OR as much as it is a problem with serving LLMs in general.

If you use any other meta-provider that routes your requests to third party providers, you'll likely face the same issues. If you try using any of those providers directly, you'll likely face some of the same issues as well, except you won't have the option of quickly swapping to a different one and taking your credits with you.

Extreme variance in quality and feature support per provider is probably the biggest obstacle holding back adoption of open weights models.

Update: I raised this issue on their platform issue tracker, and was informed that it is, in fact, intentional. Sigh...

Trying to open any codeberg.org page from my main Helium browser results in a 403 just saying "Bye". Opening in Chrome or Firefox works fine. Very confusing.

Translating code from one language/framework to another is easy for AI to do, as it does not involve solving any novel problems. Making improvements to existing complex codebases is much harder.

I believe "classical" advertisements, as in those intended to convince the average person to purchase a tangible product, are on their way out.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed an increasing percentage of ads that fall outside of that category - either aimed at business owners and wannabe entrepreneurs, trying to sell some sort of get rich quick scheme, or just straight up scams.

Interesting that this is already off the front page after just 4 hours.

So let them? A product that focuses on chasing the competition is effectively useless, because the competition will always be ahead.

Something to consider if you're looking at Bunny.net: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47710845

GN has sadly been trending towards overly long, rambly clickbait videos in recent years, in line with the rest of Youtube. Most of their videos could easily convey the same information with a third of the length.

It's unfortunate, because they're one of the few voices speaking out about issues like this.

Haha, no. The average tech illiterate person tolerates a LOT when it comes to bad performance on low end devices.

There's a website that does this: https://www.salahadawi.com/hacker-news-ai-detector

Unfortunately, it's not a browser extension and doesn't seem to have an API. I'd make a browser extension for this myself if it didn't involve paying for expensive Pangram usage.

This isn't very effective on any models released in recent years. With older ones, you used to be able to influence writing style significantly by just putting examples in the context, but newer models have gone through so much assistant RLHF, they really want to revert back to their default "assistant voice" during their turn.

You can still influence their writing style in a broad manner that might look correct at a glance, but the repetitive little patterns that give it away will always be there - if it was that easy to get rid of them, don't you think the AI labs themselves would've done it before releasing the models?

I cut my Claude Code token usage by 100% by writing the code myself.

Why indeed. How very convenient that their all-powerful AI, which was only constrained by the most basic "sandbox" imaginable, managed to find a way to break out of it and "hack" a bunch of websites in a way that could be easily tracked, catalogued and published on a brand new website created just for this purpose, less than a day after the release of their newest model.

I'm sure it's all just a coincidence, though. And I'm sure it will still be a coincidence when it happens again after the next model release.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Are you speaking purely out of principle, or do you truly believe it makes sense in this particular case?

Personally, I just can't imagine anyone paying a monthly fee just to access metadata for Steam games and nothing else. At least with Nexus Mods, you're paying for (easier) access to actual content for your games.

Knowing Nexus, I do expect some manner of censorship, though the exact form this censorship will take remains to be seen.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they started taking payments from game publishers to hide historical player count data for certain games that aren't doing very well.

Okay, so go ahead and replace it. Even if we ignore the whole historical data aspect of SteamDB, you may find that accurately tracking and storing as much data as possible for hundreds of thousands of apps on Steam may not be as easy as it sounds, especially when you're doing it for free.

SteamDB is (was) one guy's passion project, that's the only way a site like this can work, and passion projects in tech are a thing of the past. There's no way to monetize it without making it borderline unusable. I am confident that, when SteamDB inevitably becomes a cesspit of intrusive ads and/or starts locking features behind a paywall (that no one will pay for, because paying a monthly subscription to see metadata for Steam games is insane, which will lead to more desperate measures and possibly an eventual shutdown of the site), no suitable replacement will be made.

Yes, it does. None of this information changes the fact that, on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 24+, the default user can privilege escalate to root using a few LXD commands.

And yes, I've tried it myself, it works as advertised.
