You probably know all this, but for others: Cogmind is a lot of really thought out small touches that sum up to an engaging experience despite at first glance looking like any other roguelike. It's got great animations/explosions

I saw this post and immediately thought “there’s probably a lot of potential trad roguelike fans on hacker news”, for one thing it’s probably the genre with highest percentage of fans are devs or have dabbled into game dev. SPD is a good ga

Yes the books are excellent. I am American but lived in China for a while and my wife is Chinese so I've seen a lot of Chinese media so familiar with many tropes. It is definetely Chinese, but it is not generic scifi with the usual tro

Yeah exactly - when they started writing plot GoT went off the rails. This bodes well for 3 body - it's right up their alley - huge cast, intrigue, spectacle and surprises that shock at first but make perfect sense in retrospect. I

I'm amazed that there are so many good responses above only this mentions fuzzing. In the context of security, inputs might be non-linear things like adjacent memory, so I don't see anyway to be confident about equilivancy without

This is a fascinating idea, but (honest question, not a judgement) would the output be reliable? It would be hard to identify hallucinations since recompiling could produce different machine code. Particularly if there is some novel constru

Thank you, yes that was probably literally the worst example I could have given. But isn't there famously brake by wire in toyota EVs? And that physical connection is required as a fallback?

Yeah, I call out priming with text from the original model as the only good point in the article. Making a thousand tries is not the problem, but priming it with text from the original article could be. It'll be very interesting to see

Yeah, I'd agree it's hacking in that definition of the word, but obviously OpenAI is using it in the boogieman scary evil guy hacking definition of the word. It is semantics, but to clarify definitions OpenAI, despite sama obvious

Exploiting a bug, for example SQL injection, is completely a hack. But can it be considered a bug if it's inherent and unsolvable in the system? Can AI truly ever be resistant against prompt injection or will it always be a series of p

"Hack" is defined as "using deceptive prompts" which is a very misleading use of the word - using creative prompts is absolutely how people use ChatGPT, even if it isn't "expected behaviour". There is zero

Oh yeah, my bad. I read "it is entirely self inflicted." and skipped to the conclusion to see what the self inflected blow and weirdly the name of the article comes from the part he's talking about AI. > Gamers watch this

Jeez, anything that happened in 2023 is now blamed on AI? That's some great marketing for sama. Unfortunately it misses the point - a huge number of these layoffs were companies purchased by Embracer Group, so a big part of it is overl

This is a good question. Publishers typically invest later in a project to help finish get it over the finish line. They used to invest earlier but over the years started investing later and later - as game engines got better and better, te

5 years ago I would have agreed, VCs invested in games, rather than studios and most games never get released, let alone be successful if they are released. Rovio is a good example of that time period. But so many games people have exited a

Mostly really good, but I have a problem with this one: > 67. Think of all the psychic energy expended in seeking a fundamental distinction between “algorithm” and “program”. I mean... it's semantics but I feel like taking the bait

Depends on the intention of what you're making - if it's something that exists for its own sake with commercial value as a secondary concern then you're an artist, if it's a product to spec and you're following the

It's semantics, but if you consider Jeff Koons to be an artist, then yes. AFAIK he has never (or at least when he was starting) used his own hands to fully create something, from the very beginning he hired people to do it for him. The

I don't know why this isn't being discussed more. The reality of the surveillance state is that the sheer amount of data couldn't realistically be monitored - AI very directly solves this problem by summarizing complex data.

For anyone who wonders why people like Teslas, despite all the bad press and public failings - it's because a lot of this "small stuff", the subtle UX touches, is done very well in Teslas.
