Exactly. And I didn't see anyone here talking about QuakeWorld, which changed the gaming experience in an unmatched way.

Well put. and It's funny to see the disdain after 30 years, after all the money they made from the game.

Yesterday, John Romero did a historic livestream on his Twitch channel. He played through a few maps while sharing details about the origins of Quake, design decisions, how Nine Inch Nails ended up doing the soundtrack, and a lot of rich i

Yes. Quake 3, "rebranded" as Quake Live, is the second best for me. I can play both for hours.

I still play quake (world) to this day. I just can't quit it.

congrats! I wish I could make a living of art again, music production in my case. Because being a dev in 2026 is becoming unbearable.

How can I learn the practical side of computer vision in 2026? I'm not interested in understanding papers or the math behind it, but rather in how to put a system into production, whether it's object detection, running 20 cameras

I remember that when I was learning SQL, I felt like I was gaining a new way, or perspective, to think about other things in life. I think you end up exercising how to structure your thoughts.

The top one reason I want to retire so bad is because of useless meetings and calls. I had a boss for 6 months that would call me randomly during the day "just to check how things are going", I mean wtf. But as I age, I see that t

While I agree, I can't deny that AI is doing the job most of the time. But the hunt for the supreme productivity feels disgusting sometimes.

by boredemployee 6mo ago
I completely understand. We're in a phase where founders are obsessed with productivity so everything seens to work just fine and as intended with few slops. They're racing to be as productive as possible so we can get who knows w

Funny that this is on the front page of HN. I’m currently attending a 3 day in person immersive course at a university. For what applications are you guys using it for? Curious about the potential

Calling LLMs "intelligent" is not a neutral technical description, because in the end it carries strong anthropomorphic implications that shape how users interpret and trust all these systems. Remember that decades of research in

> Why should the use of AI tools be any different? Because none of the tools you mentioned are crazily marketed as intelligent You have a valid point, but it has nothing to do with what I said, both our arguments can be true at the same

I think it’s already time for us to stop calling these things "intelligent" or using the word intelligence when referring to LLMs. These tools are very dangerous for people who are mentally fragile.

I have almost a spiritual experience when I go to vinyl record shop around the globe, it is a rare moment where I feel present and don't feel the time passing by. I also like to connect with people looking around for records and to kno

Well, different people, with different backgrounds, have very different perspectives, feelings, and standards when it comes to the world of work. I’ve also had a physical shit job before, and I don’t want to go back to it at all, and betwee

Yes, I totally feel you, exactly my case. But I have no idea what to do next, because being a dev is already my 2nd profession, but my enthusiasm is going down hill these days.
