Happy New Year, everyone. I was laid off back in 2023 from my development job. I'm hoping to be able to get back to work in the New Year after taking some time off. Wish me luck!

The GitHub page is no longer available, which is a shame because I'm really interested in how this works. How was the entirety of HN stored in a single SQLite database? In other words, how was the data acquired? And how does the page l

I never liked the analog stick layout. I think they're too close together.

I used to follow system wars. I used to love following which home console was performing the best and then hopping online and trolling the people who bought the console with the least support. I was a huge fan of the 360 when I was younger.

I believe that's one of the primary issues LLMs aim to address. Many historical texts aren't directly Googleable because they haven't been converted to HTML, a format that Google can parse.

It would be nice if we could get an LLM to simply say, "We (I) don't know." I'll be the first to admit I don't know nearly enough about LLMs to make an educated comment, but perhaps someone here knows more than I do

A few games developed entirely with AI. I'm using GitHub CoPilot to drive the development, and I'm having the AI come up with the graphics programmatically as well. It's a pretty fun project.

Technically stagnant is a good thing; I'd prefer the term technically mature. It's accomplished what it set out to do, which is to be a decentralized, anonymous form of digital currency. The only thing that MIGHT kill it is if gov

And by "dog feces," I assume you mean fiat currency, correct? Cryptocurrency solves the money-printing problem we've had around the world since we left the gold standard. If governments stopped making their currencies worthle

I was going to try having an AI agent analyze a well-established open source project. I was thinking of trying something like Bitcoin Core or an open-source JavaScript library, something that has had a lot of human eyes on it. To me, that s

Wow, come to think of it, Siri failed; ChatGPT completely eclipsed the tool.

So you're writing the game in C and targeting the N64? Utilizing your custom Impact game engine, which is also written in C? Do you flash the game to a custom cartridge for testing?

How are you doing this? Do you have a blog going over the work or a Github page? Just curious, it's an interesting project.

I applied, and I thought the idea of having a secret was pretty neat. (I've never seen that before) Hoping to hear back at some point in the near future.

Yeah, it's the hottest tech company around right now, so there's probably a lot of parallels to Google in its heyday.

Wouldn't this work better as a browser plugin? Why is there a need for an entire app?

That's a very libertarian viewpoint of which I've always tended to agree with, drugs should be legal no matter the circumstances. I remember coming to this forum in the early days of Bitcoin which is also favored by libertarians,

That's cool, I love cruises I find them fascinating although I know quite a few people who don't like them - to each their own. I've never taken a Celebrity cruise but I've been on Royal Caribbean and Disney with my fami

I haven't been on a cruise in a long time, does anyone know if there are on-board IT people? Might be an interesting job if I ever get bored again.

That's 130,000-150,000 annually if you clock 40 hours 5 days a week, not hourly. I don't know in what universe you think $150 per hour is low, I've never seen anything near that rate. Maybe for highly specialized work but not

I haven't seen this at all, I'm currently contracting and I see rates anywhere from 63.50 per hour to 80+. Depending on the locale and whether we're talking FAANG or not those are pretty good rates. (130-150+ respectively)

I wholeheartedly disagree, would you feel unwelcome at an Asian restaurant or a place that serves authentic Mexican food? Simply creating a space that caters to culture specific creativity is a good thing, and as others have pointed out its
