> The difference is that game code isn't something that the player sees or needs to care about

I don't think that's true, I could mention a few examples, the cliché of the Unreal Engine hair style or lights and on the other side of the spectrum, the custom made engine which made TinyGlade what it is.

Game development iterates with what's brought from the coding side.

Game code is also art, it defines the game as much as the assets. I don't know why the game industry has such a contempt for the coding side.

Why chatgpt is still struggling very hard with photo editing and proportions though? It can't modify anything in a picture without messing the 3d space.

Isn't that a lack of spacial reasoning?

AI also had a negative impact on the CI and on time spent to review code & documents so because of that, we're also shipping less

> Productivity gains are still enormous compared to what we used to do before agents.

My own productivity yes but if I step back and look at a company scale, the productivity gains has been negative for our company as a data point.

We are now shipping less and with a lower quality.

Same thing, they are aware of the risk and decided that they are okay with it

> but you'd have a hard time arguing that they were intending on that to happen.

The first time maybe, after it happened repeatedly though... I think the opposite, you would have a hard time arguing that they were not intending it to happen.

I can confirm that our code quality at work is regressing and we are shipping less product features than before with AI.

Personally I won't, the amount of greed and contempt for customers in the EU automotive world is absolutely insane, they need all to feel the pain, at least a bit to remember that their place isn't a given, that they have to work for customers.

A good chunk of them don't even follow EU laws on warranty.

The only thing where they tried to push back very hard was the EU's DMA, beyond that they folded quickly to absolutely everything else.

They only superficially look similar but have nothing to do with Windows or MacOS on the feeling

I think the complete opposite, we are going towards a high energy world, I expect the current electric grid to be multipled by 3, both to replace petrol and add new usage on top.

Which makes the whole "we'll build renewables and storage" sounds even more unrealistic

I didn't downvote but it's nonsense, nobody can sustain a winter with batteries and other storage.

I only checked the first paper and it doesn't seem talk about what would happen if a 3 weeks bad wind event would happen in winter, and a rough look at the figures makes me think it just wouldn't work at all. I didn't check the other papers.

And the proof is in the pudding anyways, if it's that cheap and feasible to do, well let's see who's doing it.

Personally I don't believe in agentic workflow. I don't think that's a coincidence that both OpenAI and Anthropic chose math problems to test their long agentic workflows, they are well defined, with a clear finish line and with a 100% clear progress path, most of real life tech projects aren't like that.

No matter how clever the model is, most problems have multiple valid, invalid and unclear decisions to make, running it for a long time is just picking the first option on everything, which isn't usually what you want

I always work on a tight loop, I don't think it makes sense to let agents run for hours.

Regardless of the model, running it for hours means that the model will takes decisions and assumptions alone instead of you.

> But Samsung phones are full of ads for their own and other's services

I have a Samsung and I've never seen such ads.

The kind of ads they are talking there in the article would be in cheap Chinese phones in the Android world I think.

Personally I use everything in low reasoning. Maybe I'm wrong but I think that the higher reasoning settings are almost never worth it, it's marginal gains for a much higher budget.

I also switch to a better model for more complex tasks, also in low settings

Well yes it's translated by amateurs but as for the result, both KDE and Gnome are miles ahead in terms of translation quality compared to MacOS or Windows.

They are translated on your average Linux distribution though, you won't see nautilus but "Files", gnome-software but "Software", Gnome snapshot but "Camera" (I've put the English term here but each term will be translated to your language). See https://apps.gnome.org and switch the language to see.

In comparison, both MacOS and Windows look more amateur with some leftovers not translated. (Like "Windows Update" on Windows for example)

To each their own, I find the UX absolutely horrible and not intuitive, it's also poorly translated for non-english users (like "Finder", "iCloud Drive" or "Spotlight" not translated in the interface for example).

I have to agree on the hardware quality though but that doesn't do everything as I still have to use the OS

The Linux kernel is essentially the nightmare scenario for a LLM.

No tests, not much documentation to work with, a very high acceptability bar, multiple ways to do the smallest change and every single word on your commit messages is very important.

You can start with a LLM but there going to be some manual modifications you will have to make, even with the best model available

They were used quite a lot at the time, outside of the usual Samsung/HTC, a lot of OEM didn't bother to make their own full app suite, nowadays it's necessary though

Personally it's the software which doesn't make me buy one. The hardware really is one of the best you can buy but using the software makes me lose my hair.

> The reason why no one runs AOSP is because the phone market rewards differentiation.

No, the reason is that AOSP doesn't even include a functional keyboard nor a functional call manager nowadays.

AOSP apps were abandonned around Android 11, you can't just keep them as is for real users, it looks amateur.

Even the open-source ROMs came to the same conclusion eventually and developed their own.

I would also add on top of those points that nobody will ever get paid for mainlining old phones, these are side projects by nature, meaning, not full time.

And since it's such a hard task without AI (and it's still not easy even with it), almost none will ever be mainlined just because of the size of the task

No that matters. As is, the emulator cannot be used to circumvent nor break any protection. Feel free to try it yourself, boot up the emulator, give it an encrypted game and see what it does.

Nintendo didn't want to get in court and also had to basically lie in a DMCA, I think that tells it all on their legal standpoint, they were afraid of creating a precedent.

Don't worry that if they were so sure to win, they would be in court already like they did with the R4 cartridge.

I disagree, this doesn't break anything, even the comments tell you so. This code does nothing by default.

Also I may mention that the support of external keys is there for you to get games for your own switch, pirates can just share decrypted games anyways.

There's no "circumvention mesure" in there, the emulator can only read unencrypted games by default. You won't find anything in the source code, if the game is encrypted, it cannot read it.

> For the record Yuzu included code for circumventing Nintendo's DRM they had on game carts. It violated the DMCA.

It doesn't, this is what Nintendo claimed but it's false. The community learned their lessons from the Wii emulation era and you are supposed to bring your own keys, nothing is included in the emulator.

And yes, they also wrote this lie on their DMCA takedown against Suyu (which also doesn't have any keys), so they officially lied on a DMCA takedown.

It became a very serious consideration for Anthropic this year, with the advance of Chinese AI.
