    Show HN: Love2d Game running in browser with a single-player eSports twist

    Hey HN! I'm a huge fan of Love2D - a lightweight, open-source, 2D game engine. It's easy to use, cross-platform, and perfect for hobby projects, but it doesn’t officially support w…

    I have only a resume to convince them. I have job experience at major companies, with examples of what I've built when there, personal projects I've made, a github link, a great GP…

    Garry Marcus constantly repeats the line that "deep learning has hit a wall!1!" - he was saying this pre-ChatGPT even! It's very easy to dunk on him for this. That said, his willin…

    Yup. You can check out of FAANG anytime you like, but you can never leave. Was path dependency for careers always this bad?

    Use another AI, of course! Idk if I'm even being sarcastic here.

    Other than fast factorization and linear search, is there anything that Quantum Computing can do? Those do seem important, but limited in scope - is this a solution in search of a …

    Wait so this tech just...doesn't work yet? Like at all?

    I agree. The problem now seems to be agency and very long context (which is required for most problems in the real world). Is that solvable? who knows?

    Gary Marcus is cringe and wrong, but it's good to listen to folks who are cringe and wrong, because very occasionally, their willingness to be cringe means they're not wrong about …

    It's just a really really good markdown editor. With some great power user features. Not sure what else to say!

    Time and effort does not a substantial point make. The post was so shockingly hyperbolic I'm surprised they didn't mention the Chinese were also sapping and impurifying our preciou…

    I enjoy seeing HN independently rederive much of NRX thought via this situation. In unrelated news, anyone see that NYT interview with Yarvin yesterday?

    The argument to ban TikTok is for trade reciprocity reasons. Reels and Youtube Shorts are banned there, so we should ban TikTok here. Just like how if Germany banned Fords and Chev…
