on: Reentry – An Orbital Simulator
I probably should’ve specified, the mission aspect feels a lot like KSP. In both games, you complete missions, level up astronauts, and use those better astronauts to complete missions (at least in the campaign mode.)

on: Ask HN: I can no longer like React, do you?
I tried to learn React for one of my websites. I wasn't ever able to get past the guide on the site due to it being so, so, so complex. I stuck with Vue and it worked fine.

on: Reentry – An Orbital Simulator
Interesting concept, but this feels a lot like Kerbal Space Program, and that game has thousands of mods under its belt.
Credit where credit is due, though, the graphics look fantastic, and I appreciate the attention to detail with the cockpit.

on: Apple MacBook Air 15-Inch M3 Review
Apple’s silicon is really, really, really powerful. Enough to run Death Stranding on a laptop without a fan. Sucks it runs macOS though. There is an experimental distro of Linux for Apple silicon, but it’s still in development and doesn’t run very much software.

on: AI is making Meta's apps basically unusable
> My Facebook is engulfed with AI-generated images and gullible users who seem to have no idea that they are looking at fakes.
I honestly believe that most, if not all, of the users replying to these AI generated posts may in fact be bots themselves, built to boost engagement. It's a downward spiral. AI generates image > Bots congratulate it > It learns to generate images more like it > Images become even more deformed.
It's gotten pretty bad.

on: Ask HN: What's Rabbit R1 business model?
It’s an “all you can eat” business model. They’re offering more than any user will realistically use, therefore bringing in more users for the deal they’re offering, therefore more units sold, therefore more profit.

on: A proof that Unix utility sed is Turing complete
A lot of things that you wouldn’t expect to be Turing complete are. Magic the Gathering, the video game Terraria, and HTML, to name a few.
