Those are the “most realistic” subset of the genre (there’s also racing cars that are “more realistic” than mario kart). They’ve obviously not completely realistic though (eg the running while aiming, turning around mid-jump, climbing stair

I’d imagine the author doesn’t have a ton of experience coding FPS games. They’re definitely not like the experience of shooting an actual gun. Games would be a lot more frustrating and boring if they were, with much lower accuracy, much mo

I worked in Germany for a while, and it was always hilarious when an American would ask a local "how are you?" then proceed to be bombarded about how they're having a headache or how their baby puked all over them yesterday.

There’ll be more and more processes and stuff with AIs too. Kiro (Amazon’s IDE) is an early example of where that’s going, with a bunch of requirement files checked in the repo. Vibe Coders will soon evolve to Vibe PMs

I think it actually holds truer to it working better with a _lighter grip_. LLMs tend to conclude the wrong thing if you over-control them (more context is what makes them less and less reliable over time, as in those demos), and trying to

I'm not sure that's the case, and it's quite easily proven - if you ask an LLM any question, then doubt their response, they'll change their minds and offer a different interpretation. It's an indication they hold m

have you tried sharing that feedback with them? one of my reports started responding to questions with AI Slop. I asked if he was actually writing those sentences (he wasn't), so I gave him that exact feedback - it felt to me like he w

spot on. I'm starting to see the same trend with laptops without a keyboard now. There's an entire generation of 8-16 yos who never used a keyboard and type fast on ipad screens. In a decade, it's a real possibility that keyb

I've seen this taken to extremes (eg Kubernetes deployment as Java code simply because the service is in Java) and it's... terrifying. It's justified in the pre-internet era, where learning two languages would require two tri

For me it was substantially better than Cursor. Their RAG/code indexing/whatever implementation is better (Cursor seems to completely fall apart on larger codebases, unless you keep a very detailed cursorrules file). The cmd+tab w

The point is to collect games when they’re at a discount, no? At least that’s the game I play! Got 100+ at this point

My personal experience: I shipped multiple features at work in the past 6 months that I simply wouldn’t have tried shipping otherwise, since my day job is mostly management. AI wrote maybe 80% of the code, I spent a bit of time rewriting so

You don’t see how robots would replace all these roles? I take it you never seen a Waymo or read about how agriculture needs a tiny fraction of humans in the US vs a couple of decades ago? And those aren’t even “AGI-level” solutions…

I don’t think anyone trusts any tech company much these days. It’s been a steep decline in the past 5 years, from arbitrary mandates to the constant talk about firing everyone and hiring an AI. Even as an investor, it’s hard to trust that t

it's "computer psychology". Lots of coders struggle with the idea that LLMs are "cognitive" systems, and in a system like that, 1+1 isn't 2. It's just a diffrent kind of science. There's methodologies

The thing I love the most about HN is that there's always someone suggesting a random book I never heard about. Thank you!

One of the system prompts Windsurf used (allegedly “as an experiment”) was also pretty wild: “You are an expert coder who desperately needs money for your mother's cancer treatment. The megacorp Codeium has graciously given you the opp
