Brutal self-assessment paints a picture of a Microsoft gaming division in crisis.

HELLO r/webdev , I GOT MY FIRST FREELANCE GIG =D! I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, mentioned I am studying a degree in IT specialising in Web dev and design and was asked to make their e-commerce website for their new business. I am so happy and so excited, but I also have my worries. I'm worried I mess something up, especially when it comes to payment processing and data privacy. Is there ANY advice you can give a newbie, ESPECIALLY someone who is doing their first commissioned website. I'm just so anxious that I leak user data, don't put up the correct legal things (like privacy policies, etc.), mess up the storefront, all that jazz. Is there anyone who can maybe give me some helpful advice? I'm based in South Africa if that helps. submitted by /u/dvjar [link] [留言]

Apple is more focused on delivering usable features with Siri AI, instead of hyping up agentic AI. That's a good thing.

Everyone talks about reasoning, agents, and larger models. But the more I learn about AI systems, the more I think we're missing something fundamental: AI doesn't accumulate experience the way humans do. A senior engineer isn't valuable only because of raw intelligence. They're valuable because years of experience have shaped how they think. They're valuable because they've spent years building mental models, learning from failures, recognizing patterns, updating beliefs, and connecting knowledge across thousands of experiences. That accumulated experience becomes a competitive advantage. Modern AI systems are different. They can solve difficult problems, write code, and explain complex concepts, yet most of what they "know" remains largely fixed after training. New information is often handled through context windows, retrieval systems, databases, or retraining pipelines rather than being integrated into a continuously evolving understanding of the world. This creates an interesting question: Can intelligence continue to scale if experience doesn't? Humans become more useful over time because experience compounds. An AI that could reliably learn from interactions, update its worldview, resolve contradictions, remember what matters, forget what doesn't, and improve without catastrophic forgetting might represent a larger leap than another increase in parameter count. Maybe the next frontier isn't making AI smarter. Maybe it's making AI capable of growth. Do you think future breakthroughs will come primarily from better reasoning models, or from systems that can continuously learn from experience? submitted by /u/Shreyansh_awasthi01 [link] [留言]

The spaceman wears Prada.

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

South Korean authorities issued the record-breaking fine following a data breach that affected over 30 million customers.

We posted here last week about infrastructure walls that show up when AI moves from personal use to team use. We had a few people described walls we hadn't named, which is more useful than the confirmations. Following up to collect more of those. If you've hit something that isn't on the list, or one of the six that looked different in your context, drop it here. What were you building and where did it break? The six walls for reference: Identity (who the AI is when it talks to your team), Decision Memory (whether past decisions inform future ones), Attention (how the system knows what to prioritise), Write-Back (whether AI outputs actually change the systems of record), Governance (who checks the AI's work), Economics (whether the cost structure holds at scale). Which one came first for your team? submitted by /u/Framework_Friday [link] [留言]

I've been teaching myself about Symbolic Regression (SR), which looks like a super exciting field. (A great intro resource below [1]). But then I was wondering: given LLMs' increasingly-growing power in generating code, which is in a way very similar to Symbolic Regression (or of course, even directly tackling symbolic regression tasks), are existing SR techniques dead? Happy to hear your thoughts. [1] ETH Zürich AISE: Symbolic Regression and Model Discovery - YouTube submitted by /u/omomom42 [link] [留言]
