In this startup economy? Where almost no one is getting acquired anymore and over fifty percent of global venture is locked up in dead weight and liquidity is at an all time low?

Not sure how you can feel sure anyone can get acquired even if their company had a path to profitability, much less for ones that absolutely don't.

They still can't. But very smart humans constructed ways to use the monkeys with typewriters (with a statistical advantage) to find correct answers to problems where they already knew how to verify the answer.

Yikes

Define "we".

The people who make the tools that generate your assembly instructions need to learn it. Just like the people who make the browser rendering engine and push CSS forward still need to learn it.

The people who don't need to learn asm never needed to learn it. If you wouldn't code in asm now, you wouldn't have ever.

This " logic" is so irrational.

I can't see a real world use case for this.

If you actually want to make something worth the effort, you'll have to make it responsive and accessible, along with actually implementing whatever functionality your project needs.

At that point, it seems guaranteed to be more work to try to make all that happen with a visually "perfect" but implementationally soulless clone than to just mimic the design while building out your interface.

I'd say the creator is the one who created the 3d model, not the one who pushed the print button.

You should care more about fiber than any of the others if health is your goal.

I'm thrown off because you use so many em dashes, but the text surrounding them generally seems human.

Not judging or brigading, just personally don't want to add a new tool to my toolbelt knowing it's made with ai right now. Is bitbang made with ai?

Ai slop. Either you don't actually watch anime, or you didn't bother to read what the llm output, or (imo) more likely both.

There are so many characters who work fast food in anime. There is an incredibly popular anime entirely about the devil working at McRonald's.

Not open source...?

It looks way better than most modern interfaces on e-ink too!

And it seems kinda perfect for e-ink

Decker seems like it would have a lot of potential for e-ink devices like the boox note series and such.

Yeah I had the same thought. I was vaguely interested before, but I have no desire to own more garbage

Had a crash happen super far from the airport after I did this, found it funny do to how unlikely it seemed

Show hn was overrun by ai slop for a while so I and presumably many others filtered it out of our feeds. That would have resulted in show hn getting much less interaction and potentially led to people not wanting to use the feature.

People who consume more artificial sweeteners are more likely to be people who are trying to cut calories, and people trying to cut calories are more likely to be overweight, and people who are overweight are more likely to experience cognitive decline.

Until a study is done which properly accounts for this well known correlation, I will remain incredibly skeptical that artificial sweeteners have any of these supposed negative effects.

This was incredibly fun to read, very nostalgic and inspiring to get back to doing fun hackery projects like this. I look forward to reading more of your writing!

Why not embedded rust?

No.

A site for an entirely new programming language being slop is atrocious.

An entirely unimportant one minute comment on social media being low effort? Normal and expected and appropriate.

What on earth are you on?

What extension exposes the hidden filters???

This doesn't just generate the code though. It generates the "art" and everything else as well. Ideas are beyond cheap. It's the personal creativity that makes games good or bad.

And saying the code doesn't matter is just ignorant. In plenty of great games the art doesn't matter. In plenty of others the code doesn't matter. Or the dialogue. But the reverse is just as true. In a game with tight, fluid player controls, the code to make that happen takes just as much creativity and skill and human touch as any other form of art. A driving sim made by someone deeply uninterested in the code they write will never feel good to play.

It is just so disingenuous to say that people who focus more on the code side of game development aren't creators. If I can make a demo with a black rectangle jumping around on some red rectangles and hand it to someone and have them say it feels like they're jumping around as a cat, with no art or animations, I'd say that took creativity and a human touch that ai is nowhere near being able to emulate.

Curious, were you already aware of ntfy.sh (which has webhooks) when you built it?

This is just sad. If your passion for creating something you can be proud of is entirely propped up by imaginary sex appeal that not even most teenagers would believe exists, it's no surprise you'd arrive at such a cynical, pathetic conclusion.

Your perspective is a path with only one logical end. That nothing you do or think or believe matters unless someone you're attracted to finds it attractive.

That is not how I or most others live. We take pride in and derive satisfaction from our accomplishments without the need for external validation.

Yeah, only I care whether the solution I found to a problem today was elegant, or whether my kitchen was pristine and well organized after I prepped for next week's lunches, but so what? I care and it injects more than enough meaning into my life to be worth it.

Glad I wasn't the only one

Or "I just saw it in a reddit comment, have never heard of it, and want to know what it is before I dismiss this person as a pedo"
