I'm happy now, but I have a more optimistic take. I believe that humanity could make progress in conquering unhappiness, disease or even death. While happiness levels possibly didn't improve as much as we expected in the last 1000

Do you think someone from 1025 would feel this way if they came here? Serious question.

My life turned out alright. Full of problems, pains and questions like everyone's else's but, in the grand scheme of things, I'm incredibly fortunate given the amount of poverty and misery in this world. I always liked the th

Dance generally uses tools too, but they are more subtle and better integrated. Clothes, props, lights and even the stage can be seen as tools to achieve dance's aims. Singing can certainly use tools too. Auto tune and special micropho

Beyond SpaceX, do we still work on crazy futuristic stuff like this and things such as windowed user interfaces (which was very futuristic at one point)?

If we're around in 2000 and 2009, you've seen this before. Our field has ups and downs and every time we hit the bottom people say it won't come back. It will. We had some cleaning up to do. I was a hiring manager during COV

It doesn't. Nobody's freedom to use the original MIT code is taken away. Regarding my derivative work, if I never grant it to begin with, there is nothing to be taken away.

What I plan to do with it isn't important - thus the beauty of the license. MIT gives me freedom without forcing me into a certain source availability philosophy.

THANK YOU for including a C API and licensing MIT instead of GPL. Edit: clarified comment on C usage. I wanted to praise the API not the underlying language.

If you were judging based on HN comments, you'd think that AI is failing miserably. In reality, people are using generative AI more and more - even if they do so silently or while criticizing it. The jury is still out on AI-centric wor

Yes, that's the issue. There's no good Flash replacement AFAIK combining its accessibility and power for 2D game/animation development. Godot is awesome but 3D sucks a lot of resources from the team.

I agree with you in principle. At the same time, analysis paralysis and lack of focus can be problems. When you can do 1000 things, what will you pick? Also, are you going to persevere through bumps if you could switch to other 999 things?

Most of the negative reactions to GenAI graphical content is for images used "as is". I've seen artists using GenAI content who process, compose and enhance what comes out of the AI for truly striking results. We'll soon

I have incurable nostalgia for the genre (both graphical and pure text adventures) but it's hard to play them without a walkthrough nowadays. The games are simply not fun by modern standards. Their mere existence was a miracle back the

Most of these games had hint books ("invisiclues") and selling them was a big part of the business. Some companies actually sold more hint books than the games themselves due to piracy!

Save states and walkthroughts/faqs/hints can provide the help you need, although some people think these are cheating. I'm fine "cheating", though, as long as I'm "cheating myself" and not others.

Turrican will be preserved like Infocom. But I fear they will all be forgotten in the depths of a digital computer history museum. I'd love with LLMs could really bring the excitement of text adventures back. It has been tried but so f

I'd like to go beyond this question... What if making cartoons is 99.9% cheaper and a reasonably skilled person could transform any story into a fully animated, quality-looking CGI cartoon with less than a week of work? We'd have

Which you can also do through reading and even YouTube nowadays. College is great but 1) Not for everybody and 2) only the rich can pay 50K-400K to "sharpen their minds" without a high-paying job in the other end. We need more mid
