It’s not vague, did you only see the first tweet or the entire thread?

There are games in many different genres, many different aesthetics, many different amounts of polish, and many diffrent levels of performance… all made with Unity. It’s true that they provide a bunch of baseline stuff so that low effort ga

Sure, but this is literally named after OpenAI’s Sora: https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10255

I might be missing something, but it feels weird that it’s named after Sora?

Ok but these are going to be humanoid robots, so it makes sense for them to use the appliances that have been designed for use by humans. I don’t really care if tasks like doing the dishes or doing the laundry take 1 hour or 10 hours, as lo

Just tried it and ChatGPT’s 4o model got it wrong like you said until I added the line “think step by step”, which is always a good idea for these kinds of logic puzzles. ChatGPT o1 got the answer correct with no tweaks to the prompt.

There is lots of cool innovation happening in game tech still. Look at games like Noita, Dreams and Teardown. Or for an even more recent game, look at Tiny Glade. There’s a recent tech talk about it which is full of wizardry: https:/&

I star repos as a way to bookmark them. I use the star counts as a rough metric for how popular a repo is. Something with a high star count will tend to have a larger community, more support, documentation, etc. Not always the case, but it

The thing is that the AI can read a puzzle faster than a human can. If someone put any effort towards an AI-based setup, it would easily beat human competitiors (well, up until the point the puzzles got too difficult for it to solve).

On iOS you can switch to Reader view, and I imagine Android has something similar.

I get why you'd want to get rid of this thread, but surely the problem was caused the much earlier comment from doppp that said "Let it go, Matt". From what I've seen in the past, you would usually remove that kind of pe

That’s of course the way they would try to frame it positively… but imagine it any of your other subscriptions did the same? Once you’ve been subscribed, it puts a much higher cost on unsubscribing, especially if you aren’t using it but thi

Rider has a lot going for it, but I really can't stand the structure of JetBrains subscription. Why can't they just have a single monthly or annual price, rather than this absurd structure where the price gets cheaper over time, e

I didn't post any top level comments, I'm only correcting people who I see posting misinformation. Isn't the point of Hacker News for people to talk about things they have expertise in? This happens to be a situation I know a

Triple Town was great in its own right, but the games are very different and have lots of different mechanics. Nobody would argue that Threes is as similar to Triple Town as 2048 is to Threes.

"They had no idea Threes existed" This makes it even worse, because it means they ripped off 1024 instead (the game that ripped off Threes). That means they put even less effort into their clone, even the name is a rip off of that

Alright I'll admit the "Ok? But" was unnecessary, and I've taken it out.

I agree that AI can be used to make real art, but that's not the issue at hand. None of that addresses the argument I made, that it was trained on the work of real human artists without compensation, and will be used to replace many of

There is nothing wrong with pointing out the origins of ideas and concepts, especially on a site like Hacker News. 2048 was much more popular than Threes, often to the point where many people are unaware of Threes at all, so I think it’s im

by MattRix 2y ago
I feel like this is a bit misleading. You say you weren’t aware of Threes at all when you made 2048, which may be technically true, but then you should probably clarify that 2048 was a clone of 1024 which was a clone of Threes. And this a

Lots of people do want that “middle ground” game, especially people who exclusively play games on mobile rather than PC or console.

by MattRix 2y ago
You just have to play Threes for a few hours and it becomes obvious it’s a much more interesting and deep game than 2048. Of all the things that can be debated about this situation, that feels like the biggest stretch of all.

The vast majority of people I know who dislike AI art (including myself) are people who love tech, but hate how this tech has been trained on the art of human artists without credit or compensation… and then on top of that it’s being used t

It’s also already on the tower that it launches from, which drastically reduces the expense and complexity of setting it up for its next launch, making it easier and faster to reuse.
