Anti-cheat systems in multiplayer video games. It seems like every multiplayer game out there eventually gets overrun with cheaters and that cheat developers win every time.

Initially I was alarmed but then I've noticed that this sentiment is being repeated only in some weird places on the internet and seems to be non-existent in the job offers, so there was no real reason to give it any attention. I mainl

This is probably the first time I see the term "prompt engineer" mentioned this year. I though that this joke has ran its' course back in 2023 and is largely forgotten nowadays.

"Friciton" in this case is just plain old laziness and I don't think that it should be encouraged.

I think that the whole point of the discussion forum is to talk to other people, so I am in favor of banning AI replies. There's zero value in these posts because anyone can type chatgpt.com in the browser and then ask whatever questio

I think I don't understand the point of this site anymore when this is what makes it to the front page.

They could publish Episode 3 and then publish Half-Life 3 afterwards. I never understood why people keep insisting they can release only one game. It's not like they don't have average or mediocre titles in the series anyway (Blue

These rumors come from Tyler McVicker who regularly gets things wrong and makes stuff up in order to get clicks on youtube. I have no idea why anyone still takes him seriously in 2025.

>The HL3 memes don't even seem fair to use anymore. It's absolutely fair to mock them for not releasing these games and keeping radio silence all these years. They managed to dethrone Duke Nukem Forever. There were multiple tim

$14 and I still have to run several plugins just to make the site actually usable. No thanks.

Except there's nothing to discuss because the book is not released. Is HN about "awareness" now? Why not come back in 2026 when the book is actually released and people can actually talk about the contents of the book?

I don't know what happened to this website but stuff like this keeps hitting the front page more and more often despite having close to zero value. It feels like SEO spam to me.

Why would their response be appropriate when even the creators of the LLM doesn't clearly state the purpose of their software, yet alone instruct users how to use it? The person I replied to said that this software should be used yo &q

Like clockwork. Each time someone criticizes any aspect of any LLM there's always someone to tell that person they're using the LLM wrong. Perhaps it's time to stop blaming the user?

I've never experienced the original Amiga and I probably never will. I would however be open to emulating the machine. Are there any good resources for people like who would like to try out the whole ecosystem as a complete newbie in 2

No wonder that OSS is not taken seriously when the end user is considered a leech and an afterthought.

by ManlyBread 1y ago
A lot of of OSS is subpar or even terrible and end users have low tolerance for this kind of stuff. GIMP is a great example. For decades anyone asking about "open-source Photoshop" would be redirected to GIMP even though GIMP is n

There's simply no point in buying that console when it has like what, 7 exclusive titles that aren't shovelware? 7 titles after 5 years? And this number keeps going down because games are constantly being ported to other systems.

The cost of blocking ads has been equal to zero for nearly two decades now. I see no reason to suddenly start paying for this kind of stuff.

That just makes it seem like there's no point in using this language in the first place.

I refuse to read anything that seems to be obviously AI generated. If they can't be bothered to write down what they think then I don't have any reason to bother with reading what they've posted either.

This book is extremely overrated because the whole thing can be summed up in two bullet points: * write your new code somewhere outside the main solution and call it from the old solution * automated tests are pretty cool and you should wri

How can you say there's some sort of a social contract here when the ads side has no problem with psychologically manipulating me, outright lying to me and putting me in danger just so they can extract a tiny bit of profit from me? In

GPT-5 has convinced me that this is already the case. 5 is a major bump-up in terms of version name and yet it is impossible to tell what exactly has improved over the previous version by simply using the product. On top of that we're
