The point of transportation is to get from point A to point B, so almost nobody will care whether that's done via automation. The point of e.g. art isn't just to produce a finished piece, so people may care about more than the e

Intuitively, I feel like the final board might also be able to be tackled in browser, if you use WASM and speed up the solver. I wonder: maybe the state is overly compressed? Could it speed things up to store (boxes, [every position the kee

“How much you enjoy the prose” doesn’t really seem like the metric by which we should rank these? I’d prefer to read whatever’s most faithful to the original, which isn’t measured here.

One consistent tell is in hair. The most obvious manifestation is how long hair splits and merges back into itself (as at 0:27). AI hair often doesn't follow proper "form" and looks like overcomplicated, random tufts that can

You say those things like they're a short step away, but that might not be how it works out. For example, AI has made zero progress in the last few years in surpassing professionals at art or writing. Its prompt-following skill is much

I love this :) Thanks very much for making it, it's elegantly designed. Since you asked for feedback: in terms of usability, I found the 'seek next' and 'seek previous' buttons confusing, since they're position

Also, studios with their own engine may release one or two fresh-feeling games, but across repeated releases, a custom engine is going to become strangling and repetitive way faster than any off-the-shelf option.

It's one of my favorite visual novels and is so underappreciated. Maybe it's because (unlike others in the VN space) it totally eschews unusual settings, gimmicks, or flashy set pieces to sell itself... I only bought it because I

Yes, oysters used to be extremely cheap and popular (and nutritious); that's probably the main reason.

For me at least, the post is kinda confusing and feels a bit overwrought (“there exists a raven such that the vector of hours”?), and was hard to understand at first. Sadly, in the wonderful year of 2026, I can’t help myself wondering if it

That’s so far from obvious. The most concerning possibilities for me — like kids not learning how to struggle or problem solve on their own — won’t be resolved for many years.

Your English writing seems to be quite excellent as well. We have to draw the line somewhere with art, of course, and that usually comes down to a combination of what consumers value, and broader perceived cultural merit. Nobody really care

That’s not looking “guilty” though. Paper cannot be guilty, only humans.

There's no way. Just the first paragraph alone is enough to convince me; it's too well-written and melodious to be AI, with too much original thought: Today, the demonic vice of the old is not that they are hard and demanding on

It's (beautifully) dry humor making fun of OP, whose post is rather dystopian already.

I’m downvoting because it’s an unusual (and probably false) claim made with no evidence — particularly your clause after “as” needs a more substantive defense. Can you convince me a bit that you speak for the younger generation?

Yes, this isn’t a logical error at all. If you don’t have taste in one area — actually, it’s even worse, you’re not even aware of your own lack of taste — why would I trust your taste in another area?

Stephen's Sausage Roll is my favorite puzzle game. But more interestingly -- it's a near-universal opinion within puzzle communities that SSR is one of the all-time best. I've never heard of such a strong consensus in other s

Assuming you need more than Figma's free tier, they're both $20/mo for individuals and small teams.

I don’t understand this post. It seems like the author is studying “disorder” in an array by restricting themselves to looking only at local differences. They make up a lot of reducer functions, many of which relate to each other. But I don

The game is a 2D orbital physics game that's so simple it could opt for hand-rolled physics. I'm curious what about the article makes you wonder this?

It’s quite doable, if you don’t mind culling some winnable games too. The object isn’t to have a perfect classifier.

This hasn't held true for me (in SFBA). Virtually everything in the grocery aisle's between 0% and 50% cheaper than the next best option.

Great game! For learning, might be nice to see some commentary or example (model) solutions after beating a level.

If you are a large game, they will not provide you an appreciable portion of your sales as keys. Sales made this way also likely hurt your organic distribution. Re: value propositions: Steam's 30% reduces to 25% after $10M made, and 20

Why would the company not doing well in one area lead to more generous terms in a different area that is doing well?

That's still person-invariant though. This gives the impression that they could potentially be tailoring prices based on what they feel each individual person will pay. Plenty of digital services have the ability to do this, but don&#x

Human minds are built to find patterns, and you should be careful not to assume the rate of improvement will continue forever based on nothing but a pattern.

Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time — it sounds rough. Hope things get better soon. Not related, but one thing that’s comforted me in the past is that one’s brain physiologically responds to these changes like an addiction withdrawal —

Doesn't read like an LLM response. Its sentence structure is more sophisticated and it elides commas where I expect an LLM wouldn't.
