What PC are they going to get for a comparable price, that also has a disc drive? The Steam Machine came out more expensive than they wanted due to the current component price crisis and doesn’t have a disc drive.
And even then, where is anyone buying physical PC releases?
The majority of respondents claiming this is because of Sony ending production of disc based games seems crazy to me. How do they think you get games on PC? My Steam Deck doesn’t have a disc drive and desktop PC case doesn’t even have a 5.25” drive bay.
That’s a fair point. I do think Game Pass was a major strategic misstep, but I assume they were also pushed to show regular recurring revenue which obviously flies in the face of a traditional game publisher’s revenue pattern.
Phil Spencer had already put it in the ditch by the time she took over. “Everything is an Xbox” was a joke of a strategy, spending $70 billion on a company with a weak slate in the Activision purchase
The US government deemed it necessary to snoop on foreign governments and citizens decades ago and is doing it on a continuous basis. Also on their own government and citizens.
Why do they even need coders to fix these bugs? It would be an order of magnitude (at least) to ask Claude to find and fix them, and it will likely be successful.
Building in the physical world has physical and time constraints that cannot be overcome, which is one of the reasons architecture (and engineering) are so important in this domain. In software development these constraints were only inherent when people were writing the majority of the software. I feel like I’m seeing what I thought were fundamental constraints being eroded by the increasing speed and correctness of these tools and it’s making me reconsider the importance of some of the values that are held by software engineering.
It’s obviously dependent on the domain and solution, but if your software can be extremely rapidly rearranged, bugs found and fixed with little effort, and features added with only a minimum prompt, I think the entire definition of technical debt has changed. I’ve been sceptical of these tools and still approach their output with caution. I also worry that, as a software developer, if more can be accomplished in less time there will be less room on this planet for software developers.
Then I have bad news for you about a large chunk of both open and closed source development today.
We also don’t know if it was “unleashed”. Claude will add a co-author line to your commit even if you just ask it to author or touch up your commit message or clean up your branch’s commit history or any of a number of things that result in the creation of a commit, even if it touched none of the code. This functionality actually saves me a ton of time and results in higher quality commit structure and messages.
Has this specific issue actually been tied to misuse of Claude?
I’m sure Airbnb operators get comfortable turning it over every few days without having to constantly take photos. Most guests don’t bring robots in to smash up the dishwasher and dent the walls
They’ve historically had eye watering regular maintenance bills, even outside of them generally having a reputation for being temperamental. Maybe Ferrari will continue pioneering in their own way and make an unreliable and expensive to own EV
The price for that storage system will be far more dominated by drive prices than by the cost of the NAS box itself. Drive prices have approximately doubled in my area vs. 2 years ago.
This is also generally a selfish attitude where you personally benefit while structures that used to benefit society at large are eroded.
Openly admitting he’ll be wasting taxpayer time and money on frivolous proposals because he didn’t get his way through the democratic process. Thankfully the democratic process can go against him even further and remove him from office at their next opportunity and he can find somewhere else to throw a tantrum.
