In this global political idiocracy that we live that last few years I hope this parliament will set an example for other countries to follow

I guess you are right but can you please provide a source of the failed trials for this case!

Sorry but I didn't get the hype with this post, isnt it what most of the people doing? I want to see more posts on how you use the claude "smart" without feeding the whole codebase polluting the context window and also more best practices on cost efficient ways to use it, this workflow is clearly burning million tokens per session, for me is a No

I respect Hashimoto for his contributions in the field, but to be honest, I am fed up with posts talking about using AI in ways that are impossible for most people due to high costs. I want to see more posts on cost-effective techniques, rather than just another guy showing off how he turned a creative 'burning-time' hobby into a 'burning-money' one.

New comment by vazma in "Ubisoft cancels six games including Prince of Persia and closes studios"

vazma — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 18:48:53 +0000

I used to work at the Ubisoft studio in Sweden, and honestly, it’s sad to see this. That studio was full of amazing, talented people who built The Division—a game that brought in massive income for Ubisoft for years.

The problems really started when Ubisoft headquarters began interfering more and more with the studio's decisions. Because of that management pressure, a lot of the top talent just decided to leave.

Ubisoft leadership has made so many bad moves lately. They wasted huge amounts of money on NFT/crypto stuff that nobody wanted. Then they made that awful comment about how "gamers should get used to not owning their games." Even if that’s where the industry is heading, saying it out loud to your own customers is just crazy. It’s like they don't understand their own audience anymore.

Tried windsurf and the beginning was amazing, last few days I start realizing that is getting annoyingly stupid and slow. Open reddit and realized lots of people had the same issue with a lot of wild theories about it. I stopped my subscription and I am considering trying cursor just to compare. Tldr;×trying an agent Ai coding assistant was amazing and I think I will never go back!

Thank you for sharing. I can assure you that there are many people with exactly the same difficulties including me :)

You can't compete with HFT firms even if you have this equipment because you need to install your equipment in a colocation, aka a data center that exchanges sending their raw data and your equipment trades there. In this kind of trading receiving the data nanoseconds late from the other players matters.

I was incredibly fortunate to meet him at CERN the day before the Higgs boson announcement. As an intern, I encountered him the evening prior; he was dining alone in the CERN cafeteria, blending in like a kindly elderly gentleman. He was exceptionally humble and courteous. I feel so lucky that I mustered the courage to speak with him and shake his hand. Rest in peace, Mr. Higgs.

I made a test few years back and I really regret it. I requested my sample to be deleted from the db and I downloaded the dna in my local server. Hopefully they really deleted my DNA and it didn't leak while was there.
