Yeah, I was thinking about pagers. They’re still used in some limited settings, like hospitals, but there are probably entire landfills composed entirely of old beepers.

I really like the non-destructive approach to indicating things in an image via SVG. I’ve played around with this using pure generative models (such as Nano Banana), and they're impressively proficient at highlighting or marking specif

I wonder if the expired Namco patent was too similar to prevent them from taking a patent out, or alternatively maybe it was just an easter egg and they didn't pursue it. Slightly related, I wish my building complex had wall panel mi

I finally moved off Sublime a few months ago because I wanted something open source and stumbled on KDE/kate. It's been a perfect substitute. https://github.com/kde/kate

Nice job. I’ve played around with something like this in the past (chess pieces with RPG stats). You should definitely check out Archon. It was released on a bunch of systems, but I know it from the NES. It’s pretty interesting and tries to

Nice article. From DALLE to the GPT Image series (1, 1.5, and now 2), it’s crazy how much things have improved on the image model for OpenAI. Gpt-Image in the editing benchmarks of my GenAI Showdown shot up from scoring 3/12 to 10&#x2F

Just a heads up: this article is effectively paywalled, or at least gated behind having an account. I think you’re going to lose a lot of potential readers (particularly on HN) if you stick to Medium.

This is no shade on Phaser, I think they do great work. It’s a really awesome, batteries-included game engine (asset management, input handling, and built-in physics engines like Matter), and I've used it for many of my games with grea

This is what I do. It’s been really helpful for taking existing FBX files and handing them off to the agent + Python Blender API to analyze the geometry, convert to GLBs, etc.

I hate EVERYTHING about this generic looking product. But I think they're probably referencing... Bob the Builder [1]? Maybe? Say what you will about Microsoft Bob - that one at least had a soul even if it was twisted and dark. Sigh.

Nice job. The warping of the face vaguely reminded me of Super Mario 64’s start menu, where you can interact with Mario’s face and give it the squish.

Fun stuff. Mythology is steeped in these chimera-type creatures, where we mix and match body parts from different animals to create new ones Mr. Potato head style. There’s a great Demetri Martin sketch about this, where he says: the horse b

Now's your chance to pull a Namco and file an equivalent patent for "LLM is working" minigames! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_screen#Minigames

Nice job. Have you ever played Semantris? It's got a similar vibe. https://research.google.com/semantris If you like these sorts of word connection games, a great resource is In Other Words : https://www.in

Nice job. Don't sleep on NB2/NB Pro either, they're surprisingly decent at taking a few screenshots and incorporating them into a showcase image. Some examples I've made in the past: https://imgpb.com/RrN

On closer look, I think you’re right. I also tried searching the USPTO trademark database by author and by product name and couldn’t find anything. I don’t know why I thought he had trademarked it. Maybe it could qualify as a common law tra

I know that the original Notepad++ is under GPLv2 so creating an open-source port is perfectly acceptable, but the Notepad++ name itself is trademarked by Don Ho, so calling itself "Notepad++" (for Mac) along with using an almos

Hey, if they're not browsing your site on a proper 14" VGA CRT monitor - they're not really your target audience anyways. :)

This is true. Personally I always try to get my work published with a third-party first, and then I talk with the editors to clarify policies. Most smaller magazines and publishers are pretty flexible, they’ll often have some provisions in

Nice job. Quantizing to a given scale/signature controlled through touch or gestures to glide and create ambient textured soundscapes is actually a pretty well-explored space. I've seen some neat MPE-style ones that let you emula

Nice. If you want to make this more accurate - you really need to use the proper horizontal blinking underscore for the cursor.

Very cool. I'd never heard of OHRRPGCE (Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine) before. I was going to say it feels like an early predecessor to something like RPG Maker but I think RPG Maker originally came ou

There have been quite a few of them over the years in varying degrees of complexity. I think the most well-known one is probably HN Replies. A simple Github search returns the following results. HN Notifier https://github.com&#x2
