This is fantasy and if it was true the idea would be public when the product was released.

There's no moat in an idea either so I guess it's down to marketing budget.

The appstores are full of knockoffs and even resubmitted decompiles. I certainly wouldn't put it past the scammers.

More specifically to AI... A blog on a nice website is no longer a signal for quality so there's just no point in devs investing in that.

> Or do they just claim it's of negligible value and avoid the tax?

Property is already taxed based on its assessed value in California.

Landlord costs drives supply at a given price point so your initial premise is flawed.

It doesn't need to recreate your game. It can still muddy your marketing and redden the ocean. Especially if someone is in the business of trying to front run an indie game, they don't need to be any where close to a full or good game to attempt to steal any mindshare your project had.

Every dev with ssh keys into prod should know it.

The shared anchor tech exists and its honestly pretty awesome to play a shared XR game but with the cost and install base of these devices, you really can't invest in developing those types of things. Too bad because even a shared XR paint prototype is cool.

The options are some complicated narrative that leads the company to hold back certain capabilities due to some mercurial strategy or this is a typical release and there is no hidden strategy to decipher.

Looking at it a bit further back, we're in an era drowning in bullshit (spam, scams, ads, posers, cons, wannabes, on and on). Our ability to quickly and effortlessly discern signal from noise has evaporated.

You'd have to pay folks to move to the middle of nowhere.

Not sure if this post is an exhaustive list. Is that stuff making it to 3.0 or further out?

Shallow clones and such would break but you could rehash the local history manually and compare the SHA256 hashes commit by commit, no?

Issue is it would be pretty slow so you'd want it to be a one time thing.

Trusting a forced push w/o any other verification means nefarious history changes can be slipped in.

"Hey, the comments are too wordy. Can you clean it up so its only important information?"

As much as you want to say "actually do your job, jackass." Being goal oriented has had the best results for me.

Any notable breakthroughs in the top 100 apps on the app store that could attribute their success to AI?

As opposed to which alternative? Spending credits to send the work to a non-local AI to fumble through it?

Yeah the AI FOMO beating out the desire to monopolize through closed API and lock in has been one of the nice side effects of this hype cycle.

What? Why? More is more but you're arguing a security proxy is a dangerous and naive pattern?

Do the humans get to use this auto-stagger too?

As a patron of the 405, there is no consensus.

It's telling that you need to fall back to non-creative information in your argument.

Clearly we're talking about the labor of creating a written or visual work, not the contents of your ram. I did not use the word copy either. My interpretation of the parent comment is that it was rationalizing by claiming all creativity is not fully original and therefore must have no rights.

Extrapolated further, this is a collapse of creative works as a profession.

So by definition creative labor cannot be stolen? Seems like flawed logic to me.

Honestly I feel like I'm taking crazy pills these days.

Write a program! If it has a bug, debug it and update the program. Use an LLM to debug it if you must. If you're doing something repeatable, then use a traditional automation scheme.

If an LLM has to handle a subsection of the program, so be it. Just wrap that part with clean inputs and outputs.

Why does it feel like we've forgotten how to automate things?

The limits are for API requests, no? Or is this just an unrelated performance complaint?

It sucks but disastrous? C'mon now.

Good list.

- Value types is a huge one to add if we're looking at what is actually in the wild.

- Scopeless `using` declarations are nice for RAII like behavior.

- IMO C# builds are actually way way nicer than Java. Sln and .csproj files and nuget are actually a lot easier to deal with than javac/ant/mvn/Gradle. Maybe that's more a .NET thing than a C# feature.

Even in the small list of features in your retort you had to switch to future tense.

Of course I'm a super fast runner. I can get in my car and go like 100 mph.

Mads Torgersen's previews and such are enjoyable and upbeat, for example.

Did AI grow corn yet?
