I've been seeing lots of demos like this, especially with games. Yes, they are impressive, but I'm surprised nobody is talking about some of the things I've noticed with GPT-6: the code it writes, by default, is surprisingly

I agree that this is an example of interesting and good AI usage. The person who made it obviously put thought into it. Unfortunately a lot of vibe coded sites do not have that same level of care

No Mans Sky has sold over 10 million copies. I'll let you do the math. They are still basically an indie company as well.

This is the answer.

Why does it have to be black and white. You can use AI without vibe coding.

Woah hold on buddy, that take is way too reasonable for an internet forum!

I legitimately thought this was real for about half of it and it made it very engaging, well done.

See, I think that's cool. It's like a hobby or craft that you're invested in. It feels different from taking lame photos with your smart phone just for the cred.

The simple reason that a lot of the games made without a custom engine don't sell is because they're simply turds. Games don't sell based on what engine they were made in. Games sell because they're good games.

The biggest thing I've learned from doing stuff like this is that there are no shortcuts. At some point or another, to truly learn something deeply, you've got to dig in to the boring details and do things the hard way. LLMs can h

Bleh. My eyes glaze over reading slop like this. It's a neat idea to have LLMs argue but something about the writing style just feels gross now...

by royal__ 2mo ago
OP seems to be wrestling with this feeling that LLMs are simultaneously incredibly useful and also leave a very hollow feeling inside, like it's cheating. The redefinition is how we choose to move forward with hobbies and art when we k

We continue to grapple with AI and how it's impacting our lives by trying to find comfort in comparisons to the past, or to other things that we do. But the reality is, there's never been anything quite like this before, and it&#x

I don't even know what Zig is but I've seen this topic come up so many times on this site that I'm starting to think the people who are actually doing this are unsure themselves whether it's a good idea or not.

To be fair they do acknowledge this directly in the abstract. Kinda hard to have a good heuristic for this stuff, what would you propose?

Thanks mate, I think you hit it on the head: the hardest problems in tech were never really tech problems. They're often people and market problems, and throwing more agents at the wall isn't going to magically solve them.

> I prefer CLI over GUI but I also prefer to have a life over making my life harder. I think this is actually a really profound statement. Many people seem to get caught up in trying to take the most efficient path when you could take a

The problem I have with this kind of approach is 1) it emphasizes scaling up a much as possible, which I don't believe is necessarily the most valuable thing, and 2) I really don't want my job to be band aiding agent problems, bec

A lot of folks are defending McMansions here, but let me provide one reason why they might be objectively bad architecture: they seek to cram all of the bullet points that home buyers want into one thing, without regard for good quality des

Since you asked...I've gone to the effort to pull out the parts of the article that I think show it: "That’s the part most benchmarks can’t see, and it’s what this post is about." Classic "it's not x, it's x&qu

That all makes sense. I wasn't trying to attack Emacs or defend Neovim, for the record. I liked Emacs and didn't have any problems with it (except some window jankiness). I was mostly just curious about the ecosystem. The big reas

For the record, btw, id DID download your app and I am going to spend some time using it. Other commenters here are talking about how spaced repetition isn't what's important, which is true in the same sense that you can't ju

Codecademy, Mimo, Enki. I'm not going to act like I know a lot about other options, and you do say that fata hits on more advanced topics which these may not. I do think you have a cool niche here that isn't being covered, maybe

I can understand that you want to make money from this, but hiding significant amounts of content behind 13 dollars a month feels a bit much. Especially when you acknowledge that most of that content is LLM generated. It's not just the

Can you explain more what's wrong with the Neovim ecosystem? I just switched from Doom Emacs to Neovim and my impression of Neovim has been much better. (I get that Emacs has a much more powerful backbone, I just realized that I didn&#

Interesting article, but calling it THE defining aesthetic of our time feels a bit sensational.

To be a contrarian, you could possibly become very famous if you swam across the Pacific Ocean or even walked across Siberia. Not sure on the McDonald's though, might be harder to get sponsorship for that.

Incredibly misleading title, practically click bait.
