Yeah to me, Burst+Jobs and Compute shaders are so easy to work with in Unity, I haven't felt the need to squeeze more perf out of C# in a long time. For modding and OTA stuff I jus…

Yes and it works well IME. https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/roslyn-... Now I think about it, writing SourceGenerators is actually a great fit for AI agents.

Ask HN: Is Google AI Overview giving you scam phone numbers?
Today my wife was trying to cancel a GEICO policy. She searched for "geico home insurance phone number". On top of the results page in the AI Overview section, it gave out a phone …

Well, you may need to worry about them now. It's a well-known issue with the mainstream LLMs. Every few days, you see a new post on reddit from people asking how to get rid of em d…
