Uncertain<T>

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 11:22:54

You know what’s wrong with people? They’re too sure of themselves. Better to be wrong and own it than be right with caveats. Hard to build a personal brand out of nuance these days. People are attracted to confidence — however misplaced. But can you blame them? (People, that is) Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time. Much more fun getting to say “let’s ship it and iterate” as Staff or “that won’t scale” as a Principal.

Anthropic is making some big changes to how it handles user data, requiring all Claude users to decide by September 28 whether they want their conversations used to train AI models.

‘Tron: Ares’ Uses Elements From a Decade-Old Script

When Tron: Ares hits theaters in October, it’ll be the end of a 15-year roller coaster ride. The second Tron, Tron: Legacy, was released in December 2010, and almost immediately, talks began about a sequel. In that time, multiple writers (15, in fact), directors, and actors attempted to return to the Grid only to fall short. But now, it’s coming, and it’s very different from what fans expected 15 years ago, though some key elements remain. One of the first writers brought on to pen Tron 3 was D

On Aug. 26, gamers booted up their consoles and killed a whole lot of bugs. While that may not sound newsworthy on the surface, Sony and Microsoft were actually making history. That's because PlayStation gamers were getting their first taste of Marcus Fenix's classic Locust-blasting adventure in Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of a gritty third-person shooter classic -- and a former Xbox exclusive game.
