I'm pretty sure COBOL compiler bugs were deterministic.

Is it superior in terms of license?

And anyone who bothers to just do a side-by-side feature comparison can immediately see how many features antigravity is still missing compared to Gemini CLI even today.

Yeah, anyone should think of this as an experimental side project that may be forgotten in 15min and make careful decisions about using them in production environments.

We have used a few of Google's (smaller) open source projects, and in the last 2-3 years most of them are getting fewer updates if any updates at all. Some became very bad tech debt and we had to spend a lot of time migrating them.

Of course, that is the nature of open source projects (written in the license terms), and there is nothing to complain. But it's important to point out these days Google's open source project are not any more trustworthy than a one man's project in terms of support and maintainability. Personally I would stay away from them as far as possible. Especially if you look at what happened to Android, Gemini CLI etc.

(To be honest, even if it were officially supported by Google, that barely means anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/)

The exact same thing has been discussed many times here on HN and elsewhere, yet the author did not bother to just look them up before posting these uninformed opinions, as if they just discovered something new. It seems a complete waste of time to go to a conference on MCP with that kind of understanding.

That's not what the original comment was asking about. Don't complain about my corrections.

If someone wants to add qualifiers, they should do that and make it clear.

> The trick is to immerse yourself

> I spent 2 years in Latin America

That is not very accessible to most people.

Last time I checked, there was no file history, which basically meant it's useless to me.

My Dropbox account was deleted after years of inactivity. While it was definitely on me, and their terms clearly stated that "We reserve the right to" delete the account, I was surprised that no notification was sent. Yes, I checked my emails, nothing.

Needles to say, I never used Dropbox since then.

AAA games already exist on Mac, and actually quite a few of them.

And Windows is not remotely dead yet. Gamers are not selling their PCs and getting Macs.

A recovery path that is taken from you if you forget your Microsoft account password or your account gets banned on a whim. Sure.

The form factor of Vision Pro has also been validated for a decade from other manufacturers.

And that means nothing. Because other manufacturers are not doing well either.

Hint: google "lost bitlocker key reddit.com"

You can use GitHub Enterprise on prem. Gitlab also has multiple self host options.

Similar for "automatically enabling Bitlocker and uploading the keys to microsoft server".

If it works without any issues, great.

But if you ever run into one of the 50 messed up situations, good luck.

I find it annoying that so many apps and websites push passkeys onto users without informing them the basics of passkeys, including how it's associated with those specific devices/password managers or how to prepare in case a device is lost. Meanwhile as a user who uses a password manager to generate a different password for every site and has autofill enabled everywhere, passkeys barely improve my life if not making things more confusing.

Did I understand it correctly that OpenAI internal repo is accessible via public Internet?

I would expect any company with more than a few dozen developers would host their code on prem behind a VPN, let alone a company like OpenAI which has very valuable proprietary knowledge

The sites Claude generates by default are almost always in dark mode (no option to switch) and are difficult to read when it comes to font, font color and size choices. It's almost telling you the "author" has zero interest in user experience and doesn't care. This site is several levels above that.

> Once you have allowed that proprietary cr*p into your C++ codebase

People have been doing that all the time for every kind of codebase. It's just part of the business. I don't see how it's worth having any emotions or opinions about it. Seems like you are wasting your energy.

Are win32 APIs proprietary? So you decide to use them, use a wrapper/UI framework, or don't develop for Windows. Easy choice.

Developing for embedded devices? So you read the manufacturers manual and implement based on the spec, use some sort of HAL if they are available, or you don't have a job. Even simpler.

Well, that's kind of like DRM and Widevine, which exists on every consumer device.

> I've always been enjoyed delivering solutions more than the actual process of programming

Hint: lots and lots of people are in the opposite camp. Many people never become a manager but stay IC in their entire career, for the same reason most people work for others instead of launching their own company.

Eh, I don't think that's how the maths works, especially for products that are in completely different categories. For starters, display costs relatively much more on a VR headset compared to a 6" phone screen, the unit cost is much lower for a phone that is sold in many millions, the marketing cost is different etc. There will likely be actual breakdowns that provide some perspective into this.

I don't think that's what GP means. They are likely using it in private settings.

To be clear, wearing a full VR headset has an "I am an idiot" vibe.

It's typical one or two decades ago, but I doubt it will go well in today's world.

People may not want to admit this, but RTS is a thing of the past. There haven't been a big, successful release of a brand new RTS for years. Most recent releases are remasters of games from decades ago. There is no money in another RTS, and Blizzard understands that.

If you don't believe me, read some books and articles -- this has been well analyzed and discussed.

Sorry but you are the one disconnected from the reality of today's gaming market.

I just read the book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment by Jason Schreier (without having played any of their game or being aware that BlizzCon is around the corner). It seems they'll repeat their own mistakes.

I am getting more and more pessimistic about these studios and their AAA works. Every game is now a gamble with multi year effort with hundreds if not thousands of staff behind it. If a game doesn't sell, and that happens more than once, layoffs are coming. And for Blizzard specifically, it'd better be an online game that's going to be a multi billion dollar cash cow they can keep milking for years. If not, they would not work on the game in the first place.

Of course they have released many great games, but as the history has proven, you can't just keep coming up with new games that are original, fun if not addictive and also make money, especially with the fierce competition today.

Which makes me think I should spend more money/time on indie games than the action/adventure game from big studios that are increasingly repetitive and boring. We need more, smaller studios to give us something new.

> A good design doc can save you years of development time.

I only have a few years of experience in this business, but I have seen numerous cases where none of this matters. Your perfectly drafted plan could easily be derailed by technical limitations, customer request or company reorg. You are better off use that planning time for something else.

Any idea whether there is a mobile app for that?

Which makes me wonder, other than the author and maybe two other humans on the earth, does anyone care about the cipher or the success?

There are a few posts discussing that here.

poor quality of HN discussion -- that's something not with thinking about. Flag the submission and move on.

Which is why I think traditional media outlets are much more trustworthy than random influencers when it comes to news reporting. They don't have a perfect record but have standards and ethics. Sadly it's not worth anything these days.
