    • Take a human and have him study every single repo on GitHub

    • Take an AI and train it on every single repo on Github

    Which of those two will continue to make novice mistakes like SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities?

    These AI "coding agents" aren't learning or thinking. They're just natural language statistical search engines, and as such it's easy to anthropomorphize them. Future generations will laugh at us, kinda like how we laugh at old products that contain cocaine, asbestos, lead, uranium, etc.

  • I paid ~$80 or something for Sublime Text 4 a few years ago, and I can't remember the last time it had an update, yet I am an extremely happy customer.

    A text editor should only focus on stability and performance, and Sublime does exactly that, and is why I am "stuck" with it.

    But Gram looks like it's going the same direction, and it's open source! I really hope development on it picks up so I can finally gain peace of mind by having a FOSS code editor that can actually compete with Sublime.

  • Fun fact: these forced arbitration clauses can backfire spectacularly

    Any lawyer who wants to make a shit load of money fucking over a company engaging in these kinds of abusive business practices should look at what Bucher law firm did to Valve.

  • xbox one x was the last good console xbox made

    Was it good? The Xbox 360 outsold it (by a lot), but even that was mostly luck because Sony notoriously fucked up the PS3 launch (and in the end, PS3 sold more anyways lmao). It also had the red ring of death issue.

    The Xbox One was when they started the hardcore ramp up of enshittification which never ended even after continually losing in every way to the competition.

    The OG Xbox worked well, and at least managed to outsell the GameCube (though not by a lot).

  • I don't. Personally, I don't believe that AI assisted coding has a future, and I don't like the quality of what it produces. Either we achieve AGI or whatever the finance bros are hyping up this week, or we don't. If we do, then AI can write code without having a human in the loop, so "vibe coding" is dead. If we don't, then AI code stays where its at right now, which is garbage quality. After a few years vibe coding disasters, demand for human coding will increase, and my skills will be much more valuable than even before all this craziness. In that case, letting those skills atrophy today would be the wrong move.

    And if I'm wrong? Well, if AI code generation makes it so anyone who doesn't know how to code can do it... then surely I'll be able to figure it out? My existing skills wouldn't hurt.

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

  • What is this a solution to? You're going to pay high prices even if you don't buy from Amazon, due to Amazon's illegal price fixing. That's what the OP is about.

    Things are at a point where the only solution is in the courts.

  • Game development stack, looking for World Editor

    Jump

  • I don't see anything particularly unique about that WoW editor, as pretty much every terrain editor used to look like that. Nowadays, the focus is more on procedural generation for higher realism and fidelity, but I'm sure there are still plenty of tools and/or plugins for hand painting them.

    Some links:

    There are also a ton of different ways to do it in blender. You can set it up yourself, or find one of many plugins that can streamline the process.

    A convoluted, impractical, legally dubious, but maximally cool alternative is to hijack a commercial game's level editor. I know at least Far Cry 2 has a level editor with a terrain system. If you can reverse engineer the level format, you can write a script that'll convert them to whatever format you need... Just make sure you don't keep the meshes and textures from the game.

  • Time to coin a new term. The "bus factor" is the risk of a critical maintainer being hit by a bus. We need one now for the risk of them developing chatbot psychosis/brainrot.

    That means it's very important that you find and spread unflattering photos that highlight the fact that he's almost 60 years old.

  • Sublime Merge is what I use, mostly for dealing with merge conflicts. For more complex operations I just do it in the terminal, even though I'm sure it supports way more features than I use it for.

    It's not FOSS, but it's also not Electron.
