@listenyoulittle Ok nope CLI also impacted. ☠️

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

@listenyoulittle Experiencing the same but the CLI works fine. Only seems to impact the app.

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

@StukiDeathGun @Pixnlove J'ai mieux! 😅Mon compte a été supprimé et ma commande avec certainement! Pourtant j'ai bien été débité et eu un reçu! Incroyable. Heureusement que j'ai eu l'idée de regarder en me rappelant de cette commande qui date maintenant (11 mois).

@pachilo @thsottiaux We had the limits doubled until beginning of April (it was advertised and you could see this info when running codex cli) but this is gone now. So it’s normal.

@diptanu +1 on using Codex xhigh, better by far for complex distsys and debugging tricky issues across multiple machines.

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

@joelgrus Codex 5.3 did something similar to me. Was asking for a fanout mechanism for gossip and it was shuffling the full list of nodes to select the first 8 so O(n) complexity. Asked to bring it down to O(k) (k being 8 here) and it did without issues. They’re just acting lazy.

LMAOOO should I ship this

@levelsio X is the real moltbook after all.

It is an ego problem. A lot of people have built their entire personality/identity around being a hacker and a programmer instead of being an architect. So now that AI is replacing the typing/coding part, they're losing this critical part of their identity and are clinging onto it by belittling/shaming people using it (overusing the word "AI slop" as if we had never produced "Human slop" before).

All of the best programmers I know have shifted already and are heavily using AI. With enough experience, you understand that we were actually terrible at manually producing code. Typing code is something that will become performative rather than a productive use of our time.

This doesn't mean we should not read the code an LLM produces however. Sometimes it's shit, sometimes it's not. It is still important to understand how everything works.

@Willow_gw2 ARC Raiders is the very first game that pushed me away from GW2 since its release. So I feel you here. Catching up just now and finished Act 1 of VoE 😭

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

@ArcRaidersNow I was waiting for someone to drop a deadline.

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

Playing ARC Raiders on a MacBook using GeForce Now with Starlink. Surprisingly stable and playable, with proximity chat.

being with someone isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. people leave too fast the moment they see the raw, unpolished parts of their partner

after all we are gardens shaped by everyone who tended it before. some soil is depleted. some flowers were uprooted. some corners are overgrown with weeds and neglect. or the garden could be barren

it’s not your job to blame your partner for who walked through it or shame them for the damage left behind

but if you choose to stay it becomes your privilege and your responsibility to tend the soil together, plant new seeds, and patiently grow something beautiful again

Without much surprise, my top songs for 2025. This was a crazy good year for video games soundtracks. If ARC Raiders released a bit earlier this year, « The Rust Belt » would probably be among this top.

@elonmusk @ARCRaidersGame Helping humans survive extinction even in game 🫡

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

@TheOnlySalmon @AstarteTheMoon_ @Jamlex0205 I have the perk and this is also my experience, any jolt mine will still trigger and couldn't find a way to disarm them. Could have been due to their placement though.

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

I don't think that's due or will be made worse by AI.

My feeling is that it started somewhere around Covid, or slightly before. Tech was not the only sector affected. Quality of everything took a nosedive. Things I purchased arrived broken, with non existent QA. Support couldn't fix issues (physical product or software). Packages got lost more often. Software and games I played felt buggier than ever before. This never recovered gracefully. Successive layoffs made that worse due to a loss of morale in the workforce.

It's almost as if everybody gave up on service quality and UX all of a sudden. As if we were all in survival mode with no energy and resources left to release good experiences to users and clients. Surprisingly perhaps, I think that AI could reverse that trend.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

What the HECK is going on with tech?

In the last week: Multiple cloud outages, x DMs totally broken, antigravity doesn't work, my watch is showing me 15 year old cal events, mac OS is a mess, email is spammed to hell and every nerd on here is talking like new AI is the second coming

[Alexandre Beslic @abronan]

I liked Expedition 33 but I had trouble finishing it due to its repetitive game loop (IMO but a lot of people had no problem with it). The art, story and stellar music were my main motivation to finish it.

Silksong on the other end, I was obsessed with finishing it to 100% despite the difficulty and enjoyed it from start to finish. It had that one little thing with gameplay and exploration that I wish I had with E33.

E33 deserves every other nomination though.
