The rendering is all custom code, no 3D engine. The hotkey is a nice idea, i will add it! Thank you!

Hi HN — I built a browser-based tool for creating and sharing third-person action-adventure games! Game creation is AI-assisted, but the result is still represented as editable gam…

I agree, thanks for clarification. I did not want to argue in favor of Socialism - my criticism here is that „free market correction instruments“ like antitrust, monopoly etc are a…

We see the fundamental forces of capitalism at work: To justify valuation, Google needs to grow. When they feel a ceiling, they broaden their search to anything legal that makes cu…

It would be great to have a few screenshots on the readme.md or Doc pages to understand quickly what we‘re talking about.

The difference to a deadlock is that a deadlock is a inability to move, the zugzwang is an obligation to move.

Hahah! Like Bitcoin: equal distribution of wealth - except for us that joined early, we get most of course.

I love it. Ofc it‘s unclear if and how this can be enforced, but we MUST find a proper solution to this problem. It also extends to images and videos. ML should not become an escap…

Part of the story why we can‘t feel the hypothetical productivity gains of the last century is that certain goods became 1. more expensive and 2. last shorter. This movement (as me…

Incomplete blog post! Where was the comparison vs. a 1x1 pixel font?

This AI fatigue is called genflation.

„Claude, merge these branches and resolve conflicts. Ask me if unclear.“ 16M$ VC money saved.

Exactly. It sounds like a detail that you can‘t eat and drink while you‘re in VR - but for casual experience it‘s friction and you resort back to a screen.

„Clearly, VR technology isn’t fully ready yet.“ Disagree. It‘s quite mature and usable. I worked on a software that offered VR as a feature. The user‘s started enthusiastically wit…

What else should they do? Stop releasing any updates until they reproduced any obscure bug report?

Thanks for making me laugh - great poetry :D and so true. I can‘t stand people w/o kids complaining about their parents.

Impressive thought. It could also be a built-in mechanism by nature to reshuffle the cards.

Fantastic! I always wonder if the original console devs would be able to provide bonus insight.

The irony is that this guide is written like a system prompt. We‘re all working with LLMs too much these days.

But even on campus? Weird.

I don‘t understand why you would train a NN for an operation like sqrt that the GPU supports in silicon.

Everything in git can and must be merge-able when merging branches. After all, git is a collaboration tool, not a undo-redo stack.

Isn‘t it ironic that we software devs laughed for decades when we automated other people‘s work with our code - „it‘s called progress, deal with it, dinosaur!“ But now we see that …

One part of me tries to resist and tell you that our craft is not becoming an archaic relic, the other half already knows you‘re right. We just can‘t put the ghost back into the bo…

Nice summary! I missed the mention of EQ-VAE when it comes to generation quality. Tiny trick, huge impact! Have you tried it?
