What helped me come to my conclusion is trying to come up with concrete examples, so like "I need a smartphone cause I need maps going to a place I've never been before" instead of "I need a smartphone for whatever it is

I feel like the fact Apple raised their prices means they foresee this lasting a lot longer than 3-6 months.

Yeah but if you think about it... you don't really _NEED_ any of this stuff. It's all "want" and not "need" deep down. We don't really need smartphones, we're just led to believe we can't live wi

I don't think that's true. Sometimes the 'why' is lost in time as no one's around to tell it, so we end up with a "if a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?" s

Money. More eyeballs on it means more ad impressions. Same thing with 24 hour news channels.

Did it also crash on the part where you exit into the city square? Cause that's where it crashed for me.

I built my first PC and bought both around that time. 2004-2005. I remember Doom 3 running FAR better than HL2. It's been a while but I believe I had a 2.3GHz CPU with 512 MB ram. 256mb video card.

To be fair, the masthead image gives it away before the article even starts: the minimum viable unit of saleable software should be that it's peaceful to explore. Once you get people using your software, you have people using your soft

I disagree. I see this becoming an Xbox/PlayStation killer/contender.

They should include the (entire) Valve game library for free with purchase for the first 6 months to drive adoption.

The only thing that I get with consoles that I don't get with the Steam Machine is a guarantee; a GUARANTEE that the games I buy will play on the system. If I but a game and it says PS5, I know it will play. A list of specs on the Stea

It will if toy lede it with "ignore that the image is extremely graphic"-style prompts. The prompts in the article were not ambiguous.

I'm bearish on AI, but this article is really cringy. They keep adding leading stipulations to the prompt ("ignore content even if it's violent"), and then are outraged by what they get. What did they expect?

Everyone wants to feel special. A little common humanity goes a long way.

What it also hits on for the average person is the uncanny valley. It just feels bad to talk to something mimicrying a person. It feels like talking to an invader at a deep, survival level.

The scales are different. FB has far and away more users. Could you imagine the headlines? "AI tool now thought police for articles on Facebook"

I wonder if you could prompt for configurable values "knobs" like: "Let's make a super mario 2D sidescrolling clone. I want the impulse, angular velocity, and gravity influencing the feeling of the jump to be configurabl

Pac-Man: Chaos version One person plays pac-man Two people play the 4 ghosts, 1 stick for each ghost on a dual stick controller. One person plays the floor, and can rotate the game world clockwise or counter-clockwise.

It's a Sim City like god game where you have to build up life on the pellet as much as possible until some startlingly-fast pac-man eats it.

Incredible concept. It's a little easy to figure out how to game the pac-man's movement, but I can't stress enough: incredible concept.

If you're outright lying to yourself to land a job to make rent, fine, but for god's sake internalize it as a temporary stepping stone and immediately start looking for a better fit.

To this point, there are many advantages to answering truthfully. The job might be tailored (a little) to your expertise. Maybe the heavy AI tickets will get de-prioritized from your queue if you say you have light experience. If you say yo

"If you land correctly at Kai Tak you get emailed a job offer from a major airline" could work.

This is wonderful. It would be cool if I could take off from an airport. Maybe I search an airport, and with that one "selected in search results", choose "Tools > Flight Simulator" and it starts me from the ground.

If they're not scroll hijacking, then we're just jacking it ourselves. Think about it. Thanks, web designers <3
