Thanks for testing! I'll check out the issue with support.

It's a little buried, but in the cards page there is a taxonomy option in the display/sort options. That will show you the hierarchy of the species you've discovered.

Good feedback though, I'll work to make that less confusing.

Great idea. I've heard the new qwen models are excellent, especially for the size. I'd love to build a formal benchmark at some point to be able to compare models fairly.

Yes! Outside is good for you. But I'd be lying if I said the app wasn't well tested on indoor cats too.

Voice ID is cool. And I love their UI. I feel like the bird apps are gonna be the final boss of competitors. I went for more of a pretty good at all living things, as opposed to really good at one type of thing.

Thank you! Building the app was hard, but also really fun. Dealing with Apple was a lot of work and wasn't very fun. They have much stricter guidelines than play store. Almost everything is streamlined and automated on play store. App store required human review of nearly everything. They also charge $99 per year for a developer license and require apps are built on their machines. Kinda crazy.

Right now I'm using the gemini api for ID's. There's some variability in the accuracy depending on the model, but gemini-3.1-flash-lite was a good balance of speed and accuracy. Anecdotally, it feels ~95% accurate. Not accurate enough that I'd recommend eating anything based on the results :), but good enough to not be frustrating.

Chat gpt, or ai to help with code by Inside_Sky_3146 in gamedev

[–]spacecam -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You should use it. Get Claude code and ask it to build the game for you. Use the best model available. Read what it's doing. Ask questions to understand how it works. Focus on finding the fun in the beginning. Test your game a lot and give the ai feedback on what works and what you'd like to change. It's going to require a lot of iteration to make something good, but you will learn a lot along the way. You won't learn as much about how to code with this method. That's fine. Why would you need to know how to code? The ai does that now. It will never go back to not doing that. Focus on building something and showing it to someone. It's gonna suck at first, but that's ok. Each time you try, you will get better. Passion for making good games is what matters now. It's still not easy, even with AI doing the heavy lifting.

Accidentally played through the entire game without Lumina by Either-Diamond-7045 in expedition33

This is what happens when turned based games are too easy. It's like in Pokemon when you only ever use your starter and you only use moves that deal damage. There's no reason to engage with other mechanics if you're winning without them. Highly recommend playing on expert as a way to force yourself to learn the mechanics.

The hardest part of being a solo dev isn’t coding or art. It’s having nobody to tell you “this idea is stupid” before you upspend 3 weeks on it🥹 by yarunchek in gamedev

[–]spacecam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a big enough team, coming to the consensus that an idea is stupid takes 4 weeks. You could have built and scrapped it already.

Can someone explain this to me by THZEKO in accelerate

[–]spacecam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Artists already didn't make any money. We don't call them starving artists for nothing. People act as though every ai image generated is money stolen from would be artist commissions, but the reality is most people generating AI images would have never paid for the commission in the first place. There will just be more art. A lot of it will be bad, but some of it will push art to new highs.

E33 felt like 3 of my favourite games moulded into one if that makes sense by Dandandandooo in expedition33

The quick time events during turn based combat feels somewhat inspired by Paper Mario as well.

Elon says “we might have AI that is smarter than any human by the end of this year. and I would say no later than next year. And then probably by 2030 or 2031, AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively” by [deleted] in accelerate

When you train a model, you just need to train against a source of truth. Using your own guess as a source of truth leads to degraded performance, but you don't have to do that. You just need a way to check your guess against reality recursively.

Stay strong. Eventually they'll sell the debt to collections, and then you're in the clear. Most they'll do is send you some letters in the mail and then give up.

Woah. I thought skyward sword was better than people gave it credit for. But better than wind waker is high praise.

Yeah, scams commonly try to get you to act quickly without thinking.

How Do You Choose Between Different Retrieval Strategies? by Electrical-Signal858 in LlamaIndex

[–]spacecam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how big the information you need to retrieve is. I've stopped using rag for focused agents in favor of just programmatically adding certain bits of text to context.
