Honestly very impressive to plan a one-year game project and have it take one year! How many planned features did you have to cut? ;)

In game dev we've called a bunch of weighted If statements AI since the 80s. Sometimes they're not even weighted.

It's not just that though. CPU and graphics performance also isn't increasing at anywhere near the rate it did back then.

It's incredible how fast games evolved in the 90s. As the article mentions, Half-Life released less than five years after Doom. These days, people will still cite games up to 10 years old (e.g. The Witcher 3) as looking graphically top

Remember that grey default background colour? It was everywhere for a while.

Contentious then, but I preferred those to the modern "natural scroll" where the papyrus falls apart.

Just like the eMac, where we finally moved beyond the primitive mechanical relays used in the iMac G3.

I kinda want the 1st-gen 4" SE screen on a bezel-less modern phone. That'd really fit nicely in a pocket. Would modern apps and modern websites be usable on it?... not really, but maybe I don't need them anyway.

To be absolutely clear, the mini is bigger than the first gen SE but smaller than the second and third gen SE.

And won't fit well in a pocket. :(

I don't think this is correct, but happy to be proven wrong if you can find one.

Valve has given Facepunch the Source 2 license for S&Box[1] which will indirectly allow making games in Source 2. That's as far as they've gone towards releasing it as a game engine so far. [1] https://sbox.game or

I reckon the ideal use case for chat LLMs at the moment is as a bridge for questions that are hard to search but easy to verify. For example, you have a plant you can't identify. Hard to Google search with words. "Plant with small

First problem with that demo is that putting all your clothes in a dryer is a very American thing. Much of the world pegs their washing on a line.

I've also noticed you can release all pedals while driving these days and instead of eventually slowing to a stall, the car will only slow until it's happily rolling along in gear at some sort of very slow minimum speed. I presume

The funny thing is when I first started learning to drive, it seemed impossible to get right without stalling or bunny-hopping or something else going wrong. Yet now after years of driving it feels like there's a huge window of accepta

Considering that they've picked a very difficult level on purpose, I assumed it's hard on purpose as a joke. You get to solve the CAPTCHA only once you've got significant skills at Doom.

Pumped hydro is an excellent form of storage if you have the terrain for it. A whole order of magnitude cheaper than battery storage at the moment.

I've always remembered this little conversation on Reddit way back 13 years ago now that made the same comment in a memorably succinct way: > [deleted]: I've wondered about this for a while-- how can such an employment-centric

Real-world data collection is a big missing component at this stage. An obvious one is journalism where an AI might be able to write the most eloquent article in the world, but it can't get out on the street to collect the information.

Might be a good example of Base Rate Fallacy. Assuming we can presume that the amount of people who truly wouldn't understand why anyone would be against testing on monkeys is extremely low, there can be a significantly higher chance o

Absolutely, I think you used the word perfectly. Have you read Stranger In A Strange Land? The alien word "grok" from that book has a similar way of being useful, and that one actually managed to make it into general speech someho

Not related to this discussion but, it's fun to see a word from The Left Hand Of Darkness here.

One thing that's not intuitive to spot but actually completely wrong, is that in the second clip we're apparently inside the train but the train is still rolling under us.

Kobo readers are fairly non-rando, they're the second most popular eInk readers after the Kindle I think. I agree that lack of Javascript support is not a blocking issue on the use case though (although it does make it a little more an

Ha! Okay, I like this, I think it changes my mind on the whole thing being viable. There's probably some reason it wouldn't work in reality but the satisfaction from pressing the charge $1 option on spam would be huge. I disagree

I tried to do pretty much this on a Kobo reader and discovered the Kobo browser doesn't support javascript. :|

One issue I can forsee: - Every contractor (plumber etc) you hire will ask you to please add them to your contact list first so that they can message you. - After a while of half their clients not doing that and lots of fees on their end, c
