I mean, don’t undervalue your own network without trying. Maybe you haven’t worked with anyone famous, most of us haven’t! But someone you know might be in the right place at the right time and mention you to the right person. Of course it’

Have you heard of Las Vegas? The 777 being the grand prize? Maybe it is not universal to all of western society but I have never before today heard of a culture where 3 was the lucky number. The USA’s culturally lucky number is absolutely 7

The history of overstating technological claims seems relevant.

Well, I know that I was just saying that HN is not the place to look for gamers, but I am still working on a video game. Danger World ( https://linktr.ee/playdangerworld ) is well underway and should be coming out later this

Any can build games in an agile way and people have been for years. That's not new. People who don't understand that HN and PH are really not a good places to find real gamers are a dime a dozen. Don't worry, I have done this

Because cyrpto exchanges and newspapers make up the majority of startups? Most scams don't advertise themselves as startups and most newspapers are just dying and going out of business, not rebranding as startups.

I mean, any scenario? I'm not trying to be snarky but server-side Javascript has always been a weird code smell from first premise. Now, when to use RoR vs a lighter-weight framework like Sinatra is a more interesting question, but it&

Why would it be in the public domain? Anything you create, under US copyright law, is the opposite of being in the public domain, it's yours. According to the legalese of YC, you are granting YC and YC alone a license to use the UGC yo

Maybe they should take advertising deals from reputable companies? And skip the scam coins? And here’s a hint, they are all scam coins. Promoting a crypto project is just a bad idea.

And you can also do it with triple quotation marks if strings are involved, but it’s still more work for the compiler that someone explicitly did, it’s not magic.

by taormina 2y ago
But the language spec for Python is what allows for this, not the compiler. \n is just the magic character now except now we also need a \ to make multiline expressions. It’s all trade offs, compilers are not magic

What’s the job title of that live customer service agent? And how do you reach them? To the observing world, they act like it’s $0. There’s a world of difference in “sure, this is an always an expected edge case” and “oh well, let’s just le

That is absolutely hilarious. There is definitely a middle ground between today’s “spend $0 on live human support” and “spend X% of YT revenue on the support a platform like YT demands”. There exists an X% where they are plenty profitable.

FWIW, even ignoring the fungi aspect, you probably have a related issue around small red fruits.

Can your LLM always detect that? You realize that foraging is a huge reason people do this, and bad directions have very real consequences. From a culinary perspective, does it matter? Is it a growing, potential edible (technically not a pl

If this is just a wrapper around an LLM, what’s the game plan when a poisonous mushroom gets misidentified as something edible?

Check out how Snow White has been going. The film industry is absolutely there, but the good news is it's going exactly as horribly as you predicted.

Many marketers have convinced you of that. To many, the story is a story of blood and tears. Diamond mines are terrible places.

I don’t know, the number of cheaters appears to be non-zero and present enough in my games. Why give any random game studio kernel level access to anything? There are absolutely server-side solutions, likely cheaper solutions because the li

As a Texan, who has considered moving to California many times, this is laughable. I pay maybe $10k-$11k in property taxes ( https://tax-office.traviscountytx.gov/properties/taxes/estim... ). I work for myself at th

Which is the same thing. You've also heard them called rockstars or x10 before. They are referring to the same folks, but calling them "easy to manage" is a hilarious statement.

I’m working on a new game. I’ve been trying to get back to the basics of the adventure genre. A fun and engaging story, choices, strategic combat and a simple, straightforward approach. No microtransactions, no advertisements. No networking

Heroku is not Fly.io. Heroku was bought by the MBAs a while back, and they do something different than generic cloud hosting (they are closer to a hosted EBS). If you bother scrolling at all, you'll notice immediately below the fold th

Spine is fantastic. I'm using it for my latest game, Danger World. All of the animations my artists are working on are done in Spine and I'm able to use a bridge package that someone wrote to integrate what I need into Flame'

Because you need a valid driver's license to drive, so if I'm contracting you to do any amount of driving, an extremely standard practice is to see if your license is good.
