8gb ram is criminal. For $100 more Air is the one to buy.

AWS has been the backbone of the internet. It is single point of failure most websites.
Other hosting services like Vercel, package managers like npm, even the docker registeries are down because of it.

Note taking is supposed to be a map of my brain.
Not generated garbage from LLMs.
I only want the most memorable things to be in there.

> AI makes you feel 20% more productive but in reality makes you 19% slower. How many more billions are we going to waste on this?
True in the long run. Like a car with a high acceleration but low top speed.
AI makes you start fast, but regret later because you don't have the top speed.

I left a comment like that, because the project itself is about the productivity of AI. Project aims to increase it. Mine is also about productivity of AI. But my distaste about its blandness.
On the whole meta discussion thing, i have been reading HN for at least 15 years. Posts with lots of comments are meta discussions. HN is not really a place to discuss technics of a project.

I fear for the variety in the internet coding culture. Significant portion of code is being written by ai, all looks the same, all has the same mediocre quality. Even the github page descriptions are generated with ai, overflowing with emojis and same sentence structures repeated.

I also agree with this.
While the ai has less context, you have more context using the limited chat window. You know what you need from the ai.

it is a subtle bug. mostly concerning preservationists. players are likely more worried about bandits shooting at them than mountains not reflected on the water.

That's because of pixel perfect rendering is not handling rotations and position changes great.
It looks fine in motion, but i can improve with using semi transparent pixels on the edges.

I didn't draw a single piece of PNG until i am 38.
Now i am about to release my second solo developed game.
My art is nothing great, but a year a ago wouldn't even believe i could draw a single sprite.

I find my age to be great period to learn new skills.
It is never too late.

on: The new skill in AI is not prompting, it's context engineering
Claude 3.5 was released 1 year ago. Current LLMs are not much better at coding than it. Sure they are more shiny and well polished, but not much better at all.
I think it is time to curb our enthusiasm.
I almost always rewrite AI written functions in my code a few weeks later. Doesn't matter they have more context or better context, they still fail to write code easily understandable by humans.

What Carmack is doing is right. More people need to get away from training their models just with words. AI need the physicality.

i wish people would stop mentioning W4 Games as a porting option.
their lowest revenue tier costs $2000 a year. most indie games sell a few hundred copies.

Great work!
My game has some features inspired by Ballionaire. I also used Godot, i need to dissect your pck file to see how you organized things.

#1 tip: your game must be good looking to sell copies.
