The sad thing is that the website itself is AI written, only made to be shorter and more concise. But still not human written.

Don’t want to be that guy but brace yourself for part 2… if the first one disappointed you in some places, the 2nd is going to beat you to a pulp. And I won’t even start on the third. I’m the kind of person who prefers not to finish a game

He writes that the book was written in 5 years and it is a personal record; does anyone know if that means a record slow or a record fast?

It’s unavoidable, but really sad, isn’t it? Thinking about the incredible creativity and hard work that went into creating such challenges and now it’s probably history. I feel something similar with free-to-play gacha video games. The gach

Yeah but for the brief time window (which is probably coming to an end right now) where getting your name on the leaderboards was still worth it anyway, because people had not yet realized that the game is over, players will use the car any

It’s different, unfortunately. I wish you were right. The problem is that creating interesting and fun CTF challenges is a very active, time consuming, creativity-heavy task. A chess board is always the same, and always will be, but every C

We built too many layers of abstraction, so much that even the people in power have forgotten where the fantasies are. The objective reality is behind so many curtains that we forgot what is powering the whole theatre play to begin with. Or

I never got to the endgame but I solo-levelled a couple of characters in a slow pace in classic wow (pre-tbc) and it was mind blowing. The world is so well crafted, the lore, the art design, it is just fantastic. I guess if we have to be on

The “rails” thing is very much the gist of it. Don’t get me wrong, I think classic WoW is probably one of the best games ever made, but after it came out, nobody wanted the raw experience of early online worlds anymore. Which is just life I

A lot of grinding, first and foremost. The idea of a massive multiplayer game was new so just having the thing itself was enough to get you excited to go in and spend days repeating the same 5-second loop to get a level. It was also a much

I don’t know, the way I see it, if you read the title and you know Zork then you know, and if you don’t then… skip it I guess? I don’t mean to be a jerk, seriously, I skip 90% of what I see in HN because I don’t know the tech and thus am no

As someone dealing with a few cases of cancer in the family (including a child) I can’t help but think what an amazing miracle to live to 91 years old. Some people really hit the jackpot! Rest in peace.

I personally don’t understand the need to treat a tool as an “author” but that’s not important, my comment is mostly regarding the backlash of what happened. A feature was rushed in and does not work as intended, in a kind of disastrous way

Isn’t this a kind of “leopards ate my face” situation? I thought we had all “agreed” that letting AI write code and take control of software repositories is good, even if we have no idea what is going on beyond a thin surface layer, because

I’m sorry, I don’t get it: a piece of software needs credit for creating another piece of software? Like, would you credit GCC for adding optimisations to your binary?

How can anyone differentiate an insider bet from a normal one enough to actually make use of it?

As long as the hordes of losers are not bothered by it enough to ask for fairness in the business, you’re right. Ethics and morals are constructs with the intention of creating a better, more just common existence. If the people in this com

Because the markets don’t “forbid” anything, especially when they are profiting from it, which polymarket definitely is. It’s the government who must forbid things for the good of the citizens. But somehow the citizens were dumb enough to f

I read this in the wiki format (I guess it’s mostly the same thing?) and thought it was a lot of fun, with may caveats (which is totally fine). My main criticism is that the idea of antimemetics in the book was let too loose, almost as if t

I am among those who love GK3, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite in the series. It does have a great ambience, and really makes you feel like a tourist in rural France.

I never get why people think these things will work. The only ones who take deals like this are honest people who are struggling. Criminals don’t self deport, they want to stay, not leave. It’s the same in Europe, they make laws to deport p

Maybe slightly harder to test for, but one thing that LLMs love to do also is making comma-separated (with a final “and”) lists with three items. It looks good, sounds human, and has just the right size—not too long, not too short.

2015 might as well be a century ago… I doubt this would happen today.

And quite frankly, they don't give a fuck. They have been conditioned not to give a fuck from an early age; the system works 99% of the time, so nobody really has to care about each other. There is literally no benefit in giving a fuck

My point is that, in a country where people act like well, people (and not robots), someone would be bothered by this and might try to solve the problem in some creative and unexpected way. Someone might think "damn, we're ruining

The most important thing is to learn to expect and plan ahead, so that you don't get caught by surprise as much as it is reasonably possible. I do not expect anyone to act with humanity, so I start playing the system as early as possib

I’d say it’s mostly a North-European thing, not the whole world. I am a latin american living in Sweden and the overwhelming lack of empathy and humanity you’ll experience in the healthcare system is borderline unbelievable (until you learn
