People don't like to read "everything is doing great" articles, they prefer to read "the world is going to end, here's how you can save yourself".

I suppose they mean "Why people who hate AI hate AI"... I don't hate AI and know many people who don't either. I find it quite useful but that's it.

There's clearly easy/irrational money distorting the markets here. Normally this wouldn't be a problem: prices would go up, supply would eventually increase and everybody would be okay. But with AI being massively subsidized

I don't buy it. NES and Atari 2600 piracy were widespread yet they were successful. Same for Nintendo DS and even the PlayStation in some markets.

If you like RPGs, you gotta play Nekogame's "Parameters"! It's in there.

I play lots of old games, but the thing I have the hardest time with is playing in 4:3 on a 16:9 monitor. I didn't6 know why... Maybe I need to try an actual 4:3 monitor and see how I feel.

What you're saying makes sense, I just think GP wanted to say something else entirely and borrowed the word "success" for that. You do hear about people making it big and creating profitable companies (one possible definiti

I think they were talking about financial/professional success, as in being a founder of a billion+ dollar company.

I gotta say that I'm leaning towards your argument but the quote you provided made me think... Would a prompt able to generate CSAM on an AI be considered itself CSAM?

This makes Jony Ive look like a one trick pony. The dashboard is now a collection of tablet-looking things.

Unlike other goods with some real worth (like a tulip), you can apply your correct observation all the way to a cent if you exclude illicit uses of Bitcoin.

For the Atari 2600, Assembly is almost a necessity because of the very tight "racing the beam" timing required to draw things correctly on the screen. Your argument applies to some other platforms and games, though (not that many

Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best games for the Atari 2600 and I say this without any nostalgia for the title. It's an early adventure game and has a kind of complexity absent in most Atari 2600 games which, based on today&#x2

I once had 10 civil war-tech troops with rifles lined up against a fort with ONE bow and arrow troop. I lost every single one of my troops and that's the last time I've played Civ 3 in my life. Hopefully they addressed this issue.

Maybe I don't get addicted easily, but after 30 minutes of forcing myself to watch tiktok, I just uninstalled it. Friends told me I didn't give it enough time to learn my tastes but... How could it, given that literally 100% of th

It is perfectly reasonable to not like it. But it's important to point out that generally you don't go from mass starvation to Starbucks on every corner in one step. There are coal mines and abusive videos in between.

People who raise these concerns don't understand true poverty. They might have seen it during trips but don't really "grok" it. That's one place where the expression "First world problems" is relevant. Bei

I still read a few books per year, but I wonder if this still matters as much as it used to. In the past, I used to read 10-20 books per year and now it's more like 3-5. The reduction is from a lot more time spent on educational series

The US landed on the moon in the 1960s. "Beating to the moon" isn't how I'd call this.

I do... 20 minutes on an Apple II for it to create a random adventure, which I found fascinating. I actually have the original in my collection. The games weren't bad, kind of like a decent hobby indie game from today.

They made improvements in visualizing margins for Margin containers. A small but very useful enhancement.

The new UI is terrific. The old Godot was already pretty decent, allowing me to release my indie game on Steam. But this one is so much better. Godot is slowly becoming the next Blender, a dominant open source success story.

I hate Outer Wilds and is one of the few games I stopped playing out of sheer frustration. The movement mechanics are a sign of lack of respect for the player. Blue Prince is the best puzzle game in the past 10 years.

I've been hearing about massive Amazon layoffs for a few years now. How come the company still exists? Are these layoffs followed by hiring at cheaper regions or different parts of the company? From my perspective as an occasional Amaz
