I remember a couple of people making websites specifically for these apps. Wasn't super common, but there were definitely a few Nintendo forums and communities that were built with the 3DS browser's viewport and design in mind. A

They should at least be free through the university, given the insane prices students paying for tuition now. Maybe it could be sold for money to those not actually attending a course on a subject, but I hear of far too many examples where

I'd say it's definitely a big risk here. We've already seen evidence that these AI companies aren't making enough money with the tools they're offering at the moment, and there are already moves to increase the pric

I think there are a few reasons for this. First, a decent percentage of people enjoy programming for the process itself, and not the end result. For them, the idea of having a computer handle everything and playing QA tester every now and a

Well, the decomp requires you to provide your own ROM, and doesn't include any of the assets from the original game. So, that's probably okay for the most part. This browser based version on the other hand, is in far murkier terri

I'm honestly surprised it's not higher given all the grifters selling courses on making money from automated channels and the rise in AI driven channels in general. Guess that shows just how big YouTube is as a service, and how ma

I'd say it very much depends on software focused the company/industry in question is. On the lower end, there are a lot of companies whose sole purpose is to build websites for other small/medium sized businesses that don&#x2

If you're asking why people tend not to like folks using AI without saying so, it's because it feels dishonest when someone implies they drew/built/made something themself but had a computer do it for them. And a lot of

This is why you don't rely on AI too much. An LLM may be able to decide what you can do if you run it via OpenAI or Anthropic's servers, but a text editor and your programming language of choice just does what it's asked to.

Yeah, this makes sense. Interviews don't test for competence, they test for similarities to the person hosting the interview, and confidence under pressure. Which aren't really signs of a great candidate, just an extrovert with a

Yeah I've noticed that too. Hopefully it's just a technical blip, though I do always worry that some sort of legal pressure or creator burnout has hit the site when stuff like this happens.

Eh, I get the author's point, but I also feel like it's very much community dependent. Some places accept AI sure, but there's also a lot of sites that have a zero tolerance attitude towards it as well. If you talk about usin

Advances in tech, especially for web development/front-end development. I still remember the old days when tables were used for designing sites, form fields were almost impossible to customise, cross-browser compatibility was hell, etc

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I recall recently asking Claude to write something for me and telling it not to use em dashes, and the resulting text did indeed come back without any em dashes in it. So, perhaps it's not quite as good o

Depends on the community. From my experience, the modding scenes for certain more recent games seem abivalent about it, or more willing to tolerate it, while the communities for modding older games tend to be more heavily against it. For ex

Funny enough there's actually a project in progress to decompile Mario Golf: https://github.com/monde-lointain/mariogolf64

Always nice to see another game decompiled like this. It's a big deal as far as laying the groundwork for possible ports to PC and other consoles is concerned, and will probably aid modders quite a bit. If anyone needs a full list of t

Not a huge fan of it, but I'm not really a huge fan of any one topic dominating Hacker News. For a while that was crypto, now it seems to be AI.

This is why both decentralisation (federation or otherwise) and a healthy market are so essential. If one company controls a vast swathe of the internet and lots of people's everyday services, the country it's based in can force c

The issue is that about 90% of companies can't do this. Even if they all want to, the end result will be most of them going under.

Probably a couple of times a day to be honest. I like seeing what sort of new posts are there, especially given how long the same few topics seem to stick on the home page.

I think the thing companies forget is that a lot of them can't remain functional if a shrinking percentage of the population can afford their products. Yes, you can try and appeal to the rich and sell products/services aimed at th

Isn't a lot of this complexity going away for good reason? Browser compatibility was only an issue because browsers didn't stick to the standards closely enough. It's something that's not supposed to be noticeable at all

Why doesn't it just default to "no purchase" if the user doesn't do anything? Logically you'd think this sort of system would only make you log in and do anything if there was anything to report. Why was it designed

Yeah this is why I'm sceptical of just about any video game covers or remixes posted in the last year or two. There's just a flood of blatantly AI generated content in this niche, with many of the channels involved pumping out doz

Honestly, I'm a bit concerned here. YouTube's automated tools aren't the greatest at flagging content, and quite a few videos have been mistakenly marked as for kids/infringing copyright/being in the shorts format.

I mean, it's not just programming books. Books and magazines for a lot of specialist fields are on the way out, since the internet is just a more convenient option. Look at video game or pop culture coverage for example. With a few spe

Glad to see the AI is both European based and optional, that's an improvement over something like Google for sure. And I do feel like more energy efficient AI models are something the world needs about now. That said, I do question the

It's an interesting thought, but the reason voting doesn't have a 'skill gate' is because it's seen as an easy way for authoritarian governments/forces to bar those they dislike/those that disagree with th
