iugtmkbdfil834··on Saltline: First-person shooter built by Fable 5.2
What are you talking about? Even charitable read of the current FPS scene shows biggest names rehashing the same stories and worrying more about presentation that anything halfway interesting. AAA is over? Good riddance. It is not over but AAA studios will just send slop?

Dude. They are already doing it. The only difference now is that you can too.

Hopefuly, I gave you an idea of what you need to do.

iugtmkbdfil834··on Saltline: First-person shooter built by Fable 5.2
I really don't get the religious fervor here. Artists can now focus on what is the actual ( and claimed by, sometimes, the same artists ) important thing: gameplay. Isn't that a great thing that we can get some of the crud out of the way? And if you want to do handcrafted engine where snow is generated as proper fractals, it is still an option.

But that is not the real objection is there? The bar has simply been raised.

Edit: FWIW, stories in games were getting away with murder so it is about time that changed.

Edit2: Geez man. Talk about apt game title too given the response.

iugtmkbdfil834··on Don't buy AR glasses
To an extent, you are right. It looks like a cyberpunk game screen, which, upon inspection, is part of the draw here. I would like to assume that all of this can be changed, customized and whatnot the way I customize just about everything else.

You might see ads everywhere, but see my little meme gallery project plastered instead of every single of those ads, I see real time translation as a tourist, I see an advisor whispering in my ear the proper way to say thank you to this merchant.

You assume those will degrade the same way cellphones did. I am saying: lets make sure it doesn't happen by doing some work now since we absolutely do know what to expect from corporates.

iugtmkbdfil834··on The natural alliance of everyone else
I am not buying it, but I have a bias against alignment that the post seems to suggest ( unless I am misunderstanding it ).

That said, the read is sufficiently different that is worth a look.

iugtmkbdfil834··on Don't buy AR glasses
Am I really the only one who opened the website saw the video first before reading anything and ended up wanting that those glasses exist as shown in that video?
iugtmkbdfil834··on Is Opus 5.5 nerfed? Thinking patterns changed on November 3
Um., Codex is now suffering from the same thing afaict. It is almost as if having a duopoly is a bad thing for consumers.

They are faster, but the distance from superior is changing daily. Naturally, things like purposefully kneecapping the product does not help.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026)
Love the Go selection for this ( I am a recent convert myself ). Be sure to plop it on show hn when it is ready.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026)
Hmm. A lot of smaller projects that seem to be slowly integrated into agent skills. I am admittedly moving into agent world very slowly.

Though now, with the specter of raised prices on the horizon, the local only portion of my setup gained some additional focus.

Still, from the fun mini-projects:

- attempting to replicate testing whether agents elevate inferred persona, memory, or background context above explicit user requests ( https://bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-10-07/study-clau... ) - a few hackaton entries - my llm rpg got some few additions ( still nothing I am willing to publish ) - first working and useful unraid app;p

Bookmarked, very nice. Will test.

Doing God's work friend; don't give up.

Very worthwhile endeavor for the kids who, in not so distant future, may not know what a non-locked down hardware is if our fearless leadership has its way. Do you have any online presence where the work can be supported?

I suppose it depends on what you mean by trending. Some of the recent rewrite news[1] for example suggest that, at minimum, it is the macro demand that is driving the software trends. In this case, issues with memory supply drive attempts at more sensible memory utilization.

iugtmkbdfil834··on Need for Speed Underground 2 online in the browser
I just saw a game on itch with psx LDS 'reimagining'. Gonna be fun times.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Need for Speed Underground 2 online in the browser
I was gonna respond with the generic large swath of unverified code running on your machine, but I realized your question is more specific and more interesting. If anyone knows, I would love to hear an answer on this as well.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
Eh, if everything is a political signal then nothing really is. If anything, I find it more problematic that there are people who explicitly think that way. Frankly, that way madness lies. I don't even even drive a Tesla, but that is based purely on its anti-customer-features, reliability and so on.

As for Europe, it is possible. I have not visited in a while so I will take your word for it.

iugtmkbdfil834··on AI is dramatically accelerating AI research
I doubt the number is low. Knowing everything I know about llms, I still fall into the same groove as I would if I was talking to a buddy online. That part is not far fetched.
iugtmkbdfil834··on How I use AI (Oct 2026)
You got me curious ( from my social circle that plays with models I am the only one that plays with sound ones ). What is your process though? I am admittedly a lot less.. strict about testing those and still get annoyed when they eat a verse or read pieces intended as description. But then, it helps that I don't treat it as anything serious and it occasionally produces something fun.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
It is worse. They think their hatred is somehow justified.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
<< Presumably you believe you aren’t a likely target for the hate and violence Musk spends that money you gave him advocating for.

I am confused. Are you suggesting that parent is a likely target based on their car purchasing habits? If so, US has some fun times ahead.

iugtmkbdfil834··on How I use AI (Oct 2026)
Short answer? Yes, it is a car playlist after all.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
I hear ya. There is a reason when you watch Houthi's videos you don't really see much outside Toyota and Nissan trucks.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Tesla winds down Cybertruck production after years of poor sales in few markets
I agree. I was personally getting really sad on how all design appeared to be converging on one 'allowed' shape without considering any other possible -- ah ha - angles. I posted on this before, but I will repeat it here, because it is relevant.

Those cars did have uses, but those uses revolved around drawing attention ( think advertising ). Whenever I saw one in my neck of the woods, they were selling something.

iugtmkbdfil834··on Dutch 'idealist' bank ASN blocks non-Google Android, including GrapheneOS
The issue is weird. Banking is both conservative and on the lookout for new way to make things complicated, but one dumb executive --usually-- can't derail the entire bank, because there are enough stops in place. This is one of the reasons US banking is such a ridiculous mix of various integrations of a line of executive decisions resulting indirectly from lunches with said executives.
iugtmkbdfil834··on MCP Explained
Sign of times man. Not that long ago -- on HN mind you -- someone posted an article that landed on main page that used lsblk as some sort of secret hacker linux command.
iugtmkbdfil834··on GPT-6 Astra covertly underperforms on safety research
Very subjective, but as I was moving between models lately a lot ( and Hosted gpt vs local qwen27, glm ), I saw a drop in quality of responses. I had to move model to whatever the highest mode was ( ultra or Smith) to get to what I was used to seeing. It sucks, because writing on the wall is clear.
iugtmkbdfil834··on Ask HN: Are you building an AI company brain?
Oh man, that is a rough space to be in. Don't get me wrong, I am kinda jelly of your assignment here, but there are bunch of things to keep in mind.

"some sort of entity that keeps the context of what's going on in the company"

This is the killer piece, because I know what it would mean to me, but did CTO give you a clear indicator of what he means? All the meetings, drafts and whathaveyou won't automatically capture those.

- wiki equivalent is good, but it comes with the expectation that it is updated, current and accurate ( with as little as possible not listed -- which can be a pickle for some uses ) - databases - you want to be careful here for obvious reasons esp if your databases hold anything beyond simple purchase orders - 24x7 agent could cost less long term if you go for local inference ( and accept some speed trade-offs ) - orchestration - there is a lot money sloshing around this one including big boys - I did not see good corporate orchestration suite yet ( though I am sure it exists )

<< is there a better way to accomplish this? Am I over complicating things? Am I over simplifying things?

Maybe. Get the feel whether CTO is actually asking for a prettier dashboard or something more meaningful. I am not joking.

iugtmkbdfil834··on How many people work from home?
Shrug. Maybe. Not everyone requires constant social validation. Likewise, not everyone needs to be incessantly bothered by others. I get that bosses feel threatened, but that is no reason to panic.

Lmfao, I am tempted to play with that. Did you write up any of those or all just random one-offs?
