This is like a masterclass in game design, mobile UI, wasm, character design, game dialogue and interactive paychogeography. I'm gonna show this to my kid's computer club next week. Really fantastic, bravo. Is this seriously a sol

It's so cool to see this pop up on Hacker News. And also a very cool / smart-seeming trend that could maybe play a role in a more utopian atomized art world. Whatever that means? My favorite classic suggestion down this rabbit hol

I agree with both comments here. I wonder what the plausibility of fully autonomous trucking is in the next 10-30 years... Is there any saying that exists about overestimating stuff in the near term and long term but underestimating stuff i

For anybody into prehistoric abstract symbols who hasn't encountered this, "The Signs of All Times 1988" [1] is a super interesting study. Also very readable for the majority of us who are not in the field. Pairs nicely with

Love this resource, really looking forward to perusing the full text. And to echo what others are saying I have spent the last month experiencing for the first time how not simple throwing a meaningful test suite together is for a ginormo

My impression was that the author was referring to *self-amplifying like a positive feedback loop. I agree I would have loved more of a hard / concrete definition oriented approach to the whole piece but everything they were saying rea
