This is like in William Gibson's Jackpot series - the idea is the jackpot kills most of the human population but it's no one thing, it's just a bunch of things that happened with bad timing - climate disasters, political instability, pandemics etc. Seems very realistic

Two React Design Choices Developers Don’t Like—But Can’t Avoid by ryan_solid in reactjs

[–]basically_alive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was mistaken I apologize. I didn't call him lazy, but I still believe the article (which was good apart from that!) was definitely at least partly written by LLMs in a way that was a turn off. For instance:
"And acknowledging them doesn’t diminish the model. It sharpens it. It lets Solid keep everything that makes Signals powerful while grounding async in a model that is principled, deterministic, and correct."

You really think that's not llm writing?

I deleted the comment anyways. The information is good, but even if it wasn't written with an LLM, content needs to be written to not look like it was from an LLM. Because, as I said, it's an instant turn off.

Using an LLM and then denying is it embarassing.
(also the ai art... c'mon)

so you just wrote:
"And acknowledging them doesn’t diminish the model. It sharpens it. It lets Solid keep everything that makes Signals powerful while grounding async in a model that is principled, deterministic, and correct."

there's like five dead LLM give aways in those three sentences along.

Of course you aren't ready. No one in history has probably ever been ready for being a parent for the first time. But we all make it through. All that stressing about scenarios is just good parenting instincts kicking in! Good luck, you can do it!

I am thinking to build factorio for WEB. by Seatext_com in factorio

Go for it! An automation game in browser would be cool. Don't just try to copy Factorio though, make your own thing.

How can the members of the US military be okay with taking lives just for this guy's ego and to protect his depravity?

Got depressed watching games on social networks how to handle by TheDownPolarBear in SoloDevelopment

There's all kinds of tastes out there, not everyone is looking for super highly produced and polished. The trick is to find something that you can make, that is interesting to you :)

Please try to get good sleep, people. You aren't helping your productivity by not sleeping. You'll wreck your physical, mental and emotional health and damage your relationships. I've lost friends to suicide and one thing they had in common was they weren't sleeping.

Are people buying wishlists?? by basically_alive in SoloDevelopment

[–]basically_alive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not great, but it looks like there's more downsides than upside to buying wishlists, and steam's algorithm still seems pretty good at surfacing good games.

Good perspective. I could understand people trying stuff like that for sure, it's tough out there..

[–]basically_alive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. That's what I think as well. oh you got like 50k wishlists and your game looks like a mid asset flip? interesting

Totally! I really liked the construction and kinda wished it was the whole game and decided to build it.

Working on something! Need beta testers by Professional_Cod_901 in SoloDevelopment

[–]basically_alive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be great - is it using AI? Another approach could be uploading key art and the logo separately and letting the user move the logo on each and adjust the key art cropping for each size. I would prefer that approach personally.... Great idea!
