The hard truth is that as much as you think yourself as a "proper" gamer, this segment always has, always will, _not_ be the proper target segment. Don't forget that mobile gaming has more revenue than everything else… combined. They have a play on this, and as much expansive as it looks, it's mostly due to the hardware inflation, and compared to alternatives, it won't look bad at all. For the segments that matters.

I like that we can write the story that Microsoft sold their software with the home computer on the idea of productivity at home while the actual incentive was entertainment, and valve ends up justifying buying gaming hardware with the incentive that it can do productivity.

> So I can find a bug, I can fix it, but I am not allowed to tell them how exactly I did it.

Pin pointing the issue is way more than valuable than code. If you wrote a fix, you have analyzed the bug. The value is there, not in the fix. Sharing your fine analysis is the maximized contribution. Code is an optional bonus at most.

> at requires explanation beyond the material, that is axiomatically assumed without evidence

Nobody talked about anything out of neurons. The question is still open.

You're right, there is plenty of space for features that require AI to work but that are undistinguishable from "classical" feature. Better autocompletion is a proven one for example.

Those people generally are not eager for feedback especially if it's even remotely perceived as negative or some kind of gatekeeping.

The only way to avoid getting furious about this is to deeply understand that you can't require people to be properly self-aware, especially because many many people that checks the expert boxes are very incompetent or inadequate, so they when the come up with their half bake ideas, they delegate the other to deliver contrarian proofs. It's exhausting.

It’s great but the animations when catching a new orbit (sparks and combo announcements) is making hard to follow the ball, I realized I missed many shots due to this after some games.

I wouldn't advise polyfills on this one, it entirely depends on the browser ability to evaluate cross scripting and cross origin rule on a arbitrary snippet. This is not a convenience API.

This is nice. The best part is that all aspects of network access are now properly controlled so that security transitioned from a chain of trusted code to a chain of trusted security setup on hosts, with existing workable safe defaults.

I've been using this format for almost 10 years, and I only see increasing adoption. Why would I be pessimistic?

> That's a terribly nihilistic outlook on language.

I'm pretty sure any linguist will agree with this definition. All language normalisation is an afterthought.

Looks to me that _you_ conclude it's related to LED, I couldn't find that stated in the abstract, it might just be related to a general increase of artificial lightening, regardless of the source.

Because nothing can beat productivity of a motivated team building code that they are proud of. The mental energy spent becomes the highest reward. As for profit, it _compounds_ as for every other business.

The fact that this is lost as a common knowledge whereas shiny examples arises regularly is very telling.

But it is not liked in business because reproducing it requires competence in the industry, and finance deep pockets don’t believe in competence anymore.

> I may have developed some kind of paranoia reading HN recently

My comments being downvoted, pretty rare lately, were about never discussed but legitimate points about AI that I validated IRL. I have no resonance about the way AI is discussed on HN and IRL, to the point that I can't rule out more or less subtle manipulation on the discussions.

> flows in one direction

_Everything_ flows in one direction, all particles goes in a straight line from their self reference, fields "modifying direction" is just an observer point of view. The separation of time and space is purely a perception matter.

A gross comparison would be to compare with objects perception, it only exists because our mind can leverage it for a strong evolutional advantage (I'm not only speaking of humans here).
