It also won't be worth it to make games for next gen consoles if the prices end up being what people are saying. So in the end they'll just keep doing what they're doing right now, and not increase the hardware requirements of their games.

The extensive use of AI for producing better code (if so instructed) may even decrease the hardware requirements.

...AI may do is such a tired trope by now.

For schools

They can just repackage the web app and mod that if all else fails.

That's why every site should respect the user's light/dark preference when possible. Dark mode vs light mode is very divisive

It's still a lot bigger than polynomial. I don't think it would realistically be that useful.

Reverse engineering the protocol is not the same as reverse engineering the entire server, though. That would be very hard in most cases, especially when you don't have access to the server binary.

You can pass your game collection to your children. Just download them and put them on a USB drive. I guess you won't get updates that way, though.

That's illegal. You can technically but not legally

Yeah it sounds like I'm listening to an audiobook, not a meeting

God that's depressing. I would hope that this website hasn't lost all interest in coding because AI can do it now.

Isn't that inevitable?

I used to keep an eye on the web frameworks. Tried Solid JS, Vue, Svelte etc regularly to see what's going on. But at this point, if I'm not gonna enjoy the platform or suffer from it then it might as well be jquery + imperative code.

Also, web frameworks are not really about coding anyway. These are HTML generators. They were about developer ergonomics beyond anything and were important when it was about developers.

I used to spend a lot of time here discussing and debating frameworks, not so much lately. It's a depressing how much time we spent in framework wars. I don't miss it.

This was simply replaced by LLMs wars. I find it even less fun.
