After 8 years on macOS, I was forced into developing on Windows back in 2015 when I was making a VR game. WSL1 hit at exactly that time and once I suffered through setting up the environment on ConEmu (Windows Terminal nowadays is wonderfu

Yea this. Now conceivably such a sci-fi suit might have a non-Newtonian reaction to a bullet impact and automatically spread the force over a wider area in a somehow non-destructive way.

I did two sessions of psychedelic IM Ketamine four months ago. The place I went requires a therapist sitter during the experience, followed by an hour of integration therapy, and a few days after the final session a follow up integration. I

You’re off about the major problem with Section 174 — money is being taxed *before* expenses, and there is no “out” because software has been labeled fully R&D back in 2017 (of course the republicans carved an out for oil, mineral, and

Seems like a gigantic increase in the context window would be a great next step. GPT-4 is so damned good I tend to only become disappointed when it is forced to forget history.

As far as I’m aware it will definitely forget things as the history grows. You can “remind” it about things to keep them relevant, and I think a cool product built like OP’s project would take that into consideration for long running tasks.

Yea, I find it a fair bit annoying that I pay $20 and have a 25 message cap every 3 hours.

Second point is a great call out. I used to keep shoveling caffeine when I was younger and ended up having huge sleep problems (surprise) and a 26+ circadian rhythm. I’d quit for a month, then be back on it. Eventually I figured out that a

Our game’s Windows build ran basically out of the box. The only failure point was that Unity’s TextMeshPro input fields didn’t trigger the Steam Deck native keyboard UI. Took a little hacking on it, but easy enough. The Steam Deck version o

I threw a challenging rendering problem at it and I was pretty impressed with the overall structure and implementation. But as I looked deeper, the flaws became apparent. It simply made up APIs that didn’t exist, and when prompted to fix it

Yea agreed. The moment I need to do anything complicated I start getting this gut feeling I’d be better off just writing a quick Go cli tool.

Unfortunately the guard rails of the current systems prevent, in my opinion, interesting antagonists in fiction or games. I’ve experimented with some writing and when you can convince ChatGPT to give you some examples of negative behavior i

It's a toy language with almost zero open source library support. And trying to hire someone to work in it and implicitly agree that they don't care about their CV and future hireability is a tough sell.

They have a looooooong way to go to make it an appropriate tool for large teams, but they are taking all the right steps to reach that hopeful future. The founders creating a commercial arm of the engine is critical. As a real studio, you n

I have never understood the obsession with AR glasses being a replacement for a phone or them becoming some critical lifestyle product. I wear regular glasses and I can’t fucking stand it. They can be broken, scratched, lost, their prescrip

Apple Arcade provides a ton of value in this regard. No ads, no micro transactions, games like they used to be. Funny enough given this article, they have Angry Birds 1 remastered. It’s the only games I’ll let my six year old play on her iP

It feels like an eternity ago, but an editor I wrote in Qt for a game did exactly this so you could write Lua inline on objects.

Any insight you could share on why the server didn’t end up being provided to the community for self-hosting?

Some of my fondest gaming memories are from this game. There was nothing ever quite like it, and the allegiance system created a special type of community bond that I haven’t seen repeated. At one point I had 10 “vassals” sworn to me, and i

From what I recall it was a character named Wi who was persistently vocal about it.

Heavily penalize patent trolling with patents that never should have been granted, prevent mafia-esque lawsuits from districts like east Texas, and drastically reduce the cost for someone to defend themselves through some form of pre-trial

Exactly, you have so little leverage as an individual or small group. The pack of wolves that are patent trolls relentlessly look for small targets who can’t afford to defend themselves, and larger companies courting a deal or a buyout can

I’d highly recommend a Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro if you have any advanced use cases. I’ve got mine VPN bridged to my office router and it’s been convenient to be able to force some devices at home to have all traffic routed over that link.

Asheron’s call is in a similar situation. The community has implemented, from scratch, their own servers and a huge amount of the game post Throne of Destiny. Interestingly, the game was content complete for Throne of Destiny on the server

It essentially is, sorry. Having to amortize your R&D credits across five years is deadly to cash flow. The only EU country with a law like this is Belgium.

It’s an absolutely fucked situation. In what world is revenue taxed *before* expenses. It’s a nuclear bomb for US innovation. Meanwhile China offers a 2x credit and the EU is almost as generous. Our accountants have been apologizing for a m

My expensive accountants didn’t bother mentioning the Section 174 changes because like every year since the 50’s that law has been delayed or overridden through other legislation. Manchin killed the bill last year that would have extended t

A* is as valid on a navmesh as it is in a grid-based layout. A* just needs "points" (or each edge of a navmesh polygon) and the edges that connect them, how those points and edges are represented or exist in the world is entirely
