How would that be different from a regular helicopter based airborne assault?

Emulated Voodoo 3? Does that mean I can run games using Glide?

Nobody has made much money from AI yet unless you count the shovel sellers (Nvidia). Not sure closed models would make any money ever and eventually the benefits should flow to everyone.

Well your countrymen used advanced engineering knowledge to make the empire look weak and its leader a fool, did you really think there would be no consequences? :)

Native apps are not needed unless you want want performance and need to extract all the juice your hardware offers. Only AAA video games come to mind.

Off-topic but is there any independent study that has documented impact of AI on contractual work for software devs?

Wow, just a few minutes ago this made it to the frontpage, and look at the freshly created accounts trying to discredit it. Evil requires constant effort to mask it.

More and more companies are signing up with OpenAI and Anthropic at near exponential growth to automate everyday tasks. If anything, these two should manage to IPO just fine. The rest of the downstream startups probably won't make it.

New comment by farseer in "Ask HN: Should I do a CS masters at Cambridge or start as a new grad at Amazon?"

farseer — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:51:21 +0000

Go for the job, you can pick up the equivalent Cambridge courses online in your free time. Tech jobs are a bit tight right now and the situation may become worse 1-2 years down the road when you graduate.

Unless you are a rich AF nepo baby with multiple trust funds. Then definitely go for Cambridge and have fun.

This was one of the best RTS of the era. Still holds up today. The music was also very good.
