One thing I missed from Unreal Tournament, which too few other games adopted IMHO, was the concept of mutators. Effectively server-level mods which, as the name implied, mutated the gameplay in some way.
There were silly ones like the one making your characters head larger for each kill, and those which made it just different like low gravity, and so on.
It was also relatively easy to make your own, thanks to UnrealScript.
Really wish more multiplayer games embraced this concept, it really increased replayability by changing things up.
Warcraft 3 had some of the greatest mods that kept the player base alive for decades

When I'm building out a new feature, I can churn through millions of tokens in Claude code. And that's just me... Now think about Claude code but integrated with Excel or datadog, or whatever app could be improved through LLM integration. Think about the millions of office workers, beyond just software engineers, who will be running hundreds of thousands or millions of tokens per day through these tools.
Let's estimate 200 million office workers globally as TAM running an average of 250k tokens. That's 50 trillion tokens DAILY. Not sure what model provider profit per token is, but let's say it's .001 cents.
Thats $500M per day in profit.

So you'd be willing to pay thousands for a new feature, right?
I did not realize Eno could not read sheet music. I always thought he used graphical expressions in his presentations as an artistic choice.

A bit of OT, but I have four iPhone 5/5s/SE (the SE is peak design and form factor, fight me) lying around that I use strictly as offline devices for things like saving data from my heart rate monitor, controlling my action camera, doing voice/field recordings through the 3.5mm connector – stuff I'd prefer never to leave my device (or data that should be open to user control but requires an invasive app to work, I have very few apps on my daily driver).
These devices are are small, snappy and powerful enough in 2025.
This is based on HSBC's model, which assumes some incredible numbers, such as:
> user numbers on an S-curve that by 2030 reaches 3bn, “equivalent to 44 per cent of the world’s adult population” ex China.
Unfounded statements (outside of language tasks, fwiw), such as: >LLM subscriptions will become “as ubiquitous and useful as Microsoft 365”, HSBC says.
As well as this bold claim about OAI's potential to double the conversion rate: >It models that by 2030, 10 per cent of OpenAI users will be paying customers, versus an estimated 5 per cent currently.
Does not include a major player in its market share analysis at all: >Google is excluded entirely
And, still, it suggests that: > OpenAI is expected to still be subsidising its users well into next decade
Fascinating.

I've been distro hopping recently and missing the Web Apps application in Linux Mint. Somehow, Tangram slipped my radar until now. Seems to have never been mentioned on HN too.
They're still kind of around, but yeah, everything is very much on it's way out in the music scene, at least in terms of that late 90s early 00s culture. Or has been until recently. There is a renewed interest in self-hosting and "offline" style music collections.
It sucks too. The way folks discover music is important. The convenience of streaming has lead to some interesting outcomes. When self-hosting music comes up this is always one of the top questions people have: How do you find new music?
The answer isn't that hard and really hasn't changed much. People just don't want to spend any time or effort doing it. Music stores still exist, they're amazing. Lots of 2nd hand stores carry vinyl and CDs now, which can give you great ideas for new music. There are self-hosted AI solutions and tools. Last.fm and Scrobbling are still very much around. My scrobble history is so insanely useful. There are music discords. Friends. Asking people what they're listening to in public. Live shows with unique openers(I once went to a Ben Kweller show with 4 opening bands, I still listen to 3 of them.)
Some local radio DJs frequently play songs I enjoy that have under 1K plays on youtube. No algo or platform is surfacing those. Local radio gets me both local and international music. A friend of mine prefers critically acclaimed stuff, so he streams radio shows from NTS and the like.
