"Google is nowhere near this yet?" It can literally do it right now. Formatting was very nice in the UI, bulleted the key idea expressed succinctly in the first few words. It also provided a great summary of John Wick 4. me: pleas

So, you’re content with GPT-4 killing 60% of humans to create paper clips as long as the matter is hotly contested and actively debated within its matrices?

Yeah, this is Yud’s argument, but I just don’t get it. Does the technology to end the world by sending a couple emails around already exist? If so, why hasn’t the world ended?

Can you offer some specific examples? And what company size? Currently using gusto but curious.

$250k is not the most an account holder can get back if a bank fails, it is literally the minimum .

Thank you for founding the MADE! I visited a few months ago and met someone there who has become a close friend of mine. And, it’s a great benefit to the east bay and gaming history more broadly.

What kind of game are you making? This is a bit like asking "If you make software, do you prefer C++ or JavaScript or something else?" Obviously it depends!

Does anyone know what they're doing for multiplayer? WebSockets or WebRTC?

curious — what did it change to? i haven't worked at Google since 2021, when 7.5 GPM was very much a thing.

Why not offer this as a universal binary? Seems like a bunch of extra work to generate two separate DMGs and try to point users to the right one... Regardless, congrats to the team! Though, I'll note this blog post is from almost 6 wee

Given the history of technology investing, companies being valued in the 10s of billions is itself not a proof of anything other than investor excitement. I agree that even today's "AI" can be used to cause massive societal h

No, I don't believe I am. Can you clarify what you think I've mixed up? Class A shares (such as TCI have) have regular voting rights. Class B shares (such as Larry and Sergey have) have 10x voting rights. Thus, as I understand it,

by aroman 4y ago
No, you are very incorrect here. I am sorry to say that you fell for some spicy headlines, and there is no evidence to suggest TCI's letter had anything to do with this restructing. TCI has a trivial stake in Google — at most, less tha

Are you saying there have been more than just the one referenced in this ad and the current Apple Card? As far as I can tell, these two are the only Apple branded cards that have ever existed.

the main challenges facing web games are: 1. hard to monetize 2. lack of mature tooling (Unreal dropped Web support, Unity pretty much has just 1 FTE maintaining WebGL support, and Godot is still catching up) 3. mobile UX sucks (try playing

What are you talking about? Lots of people liked Unity.

Mono is much more than just C#. It was created by GNOME folks so they could use .NET to develop GNOME/linux software. In that way, Vala is similar to Mono: they were both created as replacements for using GObject-C to develop desktop L

No. The Vala code is creating an entire window and application. Your HTML code is just creating a button inside a window and application that already exists. The equivalent portion is just these two lines: var btn = new Gtk.Button.with_

Thanks for the reply! Can you share any more context on the scalable UI solution? Feel free to tag me in the thread on Discord, my handle is avi#9876. Also TY for the tip about debugger output limit — no idea why the default is so low!

As someone who uses Unity professionally to make a 2D game, here are some key areas I find godot lacking vs unity: - Scalable text support a la TextMeshPro (sdf-based rendering) - the in-editor console is horrible. it frequently tells me &q

Most of Unity's revenue does not come from licensing the engine. It comes from their "services" portfolio, which includes advertising and other tools for monetizing, including via IAPs (although they don't take a cut of

In San Francisco, the median household income was $120k. That’s 2 years ago mind you, and a lot of inflation has occurred since then. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/sanfranciscocitycalifornia

Probably something like that. Apple has a lot of products that use their custom silicon that aren't Macs or iOS devices — think Homepods, AirPods, etc. I'm sure they have a whole team whose job it is just to create respins of thei
