Video game design is an art form, and until this year, it could only be practiced by people who could also code and do art, or who had a ton of money to hire people for those things.
This judgment call of how likely an edge case is what divides the uninitiated from people who've seen some things
Cope. Souls genre is booming & is Hard AF. Its the hard mixed with losing gear on dying (& no safe pocket), unbalanced matchmaking (lvl 30 and lvl 200 are in same game) due to lack of players. None wants to die to spawn rushing sweats with 0.000009 sec ttk & lose gear, on repeat.
Yu knows ball
JUST IN: Chinese Fields Medal winner Deng Yu announces he’ll retire from mathematics & write romance novels if AI becomes capable of solving all math problems.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Deng Yu joked on social media that he would write his yuri novel if AI solved all math problems and clarified it was not serious; the post inaccurately frames this as an announcement of retirement and uses "romance novels" for the specific yuri genre of lesbian fiction.

I regret to inform you that if you don't have enough energy to exercise, it means you're not exercising enough.

Stopping is not an option. Distributing it as widely as possible and as quickly as possible is the best choice we've got. Better everyone have it than only the tech companies who have been manipulating you for years.

I don't care about having "fuck you" money, but I would like to create some software with "fuck you" performance.
LLMs are gc for programming is the freshest take I've heard all week.
I'll be pondering over this for a while 🍵 ☕...
Replying to @Jonathan_Blow
I feel like people who think programming is solved by LLMs are the same people who think memory management is solved by GC.
Isn't a space data center exactly how Brainiac, an AI, escapes Krypton after repeatedly assuring Kryptonian scientists that their planet is stable, moments before its destruction ???
Have we learnt nothing ?!?
Gavin Baker says the physics PhDs calling orbital data centers impossible on X have not out-thought the 10,000 SpaceX engineers who treat it as solved
"It's very hard for me to engage. There are all these people on X and they're like, I am a physics PhD and this is impossible."
"There's a friend, another investor, who actually is a physics PhD, who I had many arguments about it with him, and he's like, I am a PhD and this is impossible. And then he goes to the SpaceX day and talks to the SpaceX engineers, and he's like, well, I was wrong."
"So let's say you're an astrophysics PhD. You are brilliant, you're hanging 100 IQ points on me. Have you thought about this for an hour? Have you thought about it for 10 hours?"
"Because you have 10,000 of the world's smartest engineers at SpaceX who've thought about this each for hundreds if not thousands of hours. And the sum of that, working with very sophisticated engineering tools, is it's a solved problem."
