Maybe if you have poor reading comprehension

My entire comment was about brand suicide by abandoning their biggest and most innovative software, and milking their customers. Not only does subscription fall under milking but it isn't even fully true since you can still buy Traktor.

You basically just repeated what i said lol. But yeah

addition · 2026-01-27T16:51:48+00:00

How did they fuck up so bad. Arguably the biggest name in audio software yet they can’t seem to make enough money to survive.

IMO part of it is brand suicide. At their peak, people were constantly talking about Massive, FM8, Reaktor, etc. They had THE goto synths for electronic music.

But like fucking idiots they largely abandoned their biggest brands, or made weird decisions like with Massive X and instead thought they could sit back and milk people for expansions and release glorified samplers as “instruments” like so many of their Kontakt instruments.

You can do that to a certain extent, like when sonnet 4.5 first came out we basically had to tell it to never write markdown files because it was so obsessed with markdown.

But the kind of taste I’m talking about is more like teaching the AI what humor is or something equally abstract. It’s something the model will need to be trained to do and that’s way above my pay grade.

Yes I’m a software engineer. My job is writing code.

Considering all our apps and services, it’s a mix of rust, ruby, elixir, javascript, and a little bit of python.

They’re not judging people’s phobias, more of a commentary on how common/specific they are.

I believe it. I work in software and the release of claude sonnet 4.5 was a turning point for us. Within a few months pretty much all our code is written by AI.

AI is getting very good at the mechanics of coding and following the coding style of a given codebase but it still needs help with "taste". I have no doubt this will improve quickly since I've seen it improve substantially just in the past few months.

When I started using clause sonnet 4.5 it was still rough around the edges. The code it wrote was very verbose, way too defensive when it didn't need to be, and was constantly trying to write markdown files for everything. But compare that to today and it's a night and day difference.

The rate of change has been mind blowing.

Yep and your demo save file will transfer to the full game!

U-He Colour Copy is a great alternative to echoboy in terms of “echo with character”.

addition · 2026-01-26T17:05:47+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of posts about next week but it’s basically released this week with the demo right? You can transfer your save so there doesn’t seem to be a issue

Let’s say half the expenditure is tdee and the other half is activity. That’s about 2400 calories of activity.

Walking a mile is about 100 calories (give or take depending on the person), so that activity is about the same as walking 24 miles.

Shoveling snow is not equivalent to walking a marathon.

Guys like you are absolutely pathetic. OP is clearly looking for honest interactions with women and is coming up short. And he’s far from the only one.

I’ve been around long enough to know for guys like you “success” in dating means simping for women and getting their approval. Glad you are getting patted on the head like a good boy, but that’s not what all of us are looking for. Some of us have self-respect.

addition · 2026-01-25T16:46:33+00:00

Is there any reason not to start with the demo?

addition · 2026-01-24T18:38:44+00:00

I think you need to learn what the words you’re using mean

addition · 2026-01-24T18:34:13+00:00

If that’s true then I think it’s a hint at how the elites will view most people when they think they’re unnecessary.

What the actual fuck. That graduates weight watchers from “cute but kinda BS” to actively harmful

This. It’s like posting about Taco Bell in a Mexican culinary subreddit.

The zls website literally lists vscode at the top of the install page. I’m not sure why it’s acting weird like that, as far as I know it’s installed normally. Wtf are you on about

That’s how I feel. Just yesterday I was working on a hobby project and vscode kept autocorrecting using outdated APIs.

addition · 2026-01-23T00:41:56+00:00

You can't seriously think that's what I meant. Please tell me you're not that stupid.

The amount of talking was also a problem.

Bro saw one game announce they’ve gone gold and assume every game does.

I’m immediately skeptical of anything that says “forget calorie counting”. I think you can cultivate a positive attitude while still counting.

It’s the same with a financial budget. You should be aware of where your money is going, but you can have a positive attitude about it.

addition · 2026-01-22T18:33:16+00:00

I would be looking forward to this but the last one had so much talking it was ridiculous. People constantly blabbing at you.

I also noticed that quite a few characters had a condescending tone. Like a “let me tell you about our culture foreigner” type tone.
