If you are serious (I do game development for a living and work on graphical assets daily so that seems evident for me, but I totally understand it can be arcane stuff) it's simply that they choose a stylized graphical style avoiding a lot of costly details you generaly find in hight end games.

They use low poly models, as far as I know there is no baked lightmap (these are pretty expensives but are mandatory in a lot of engine if you want realistic shadows on higtly detailled environment) and their shader materials probably use very simple and low resolution maps.

All these thing decrease the asset footprint by orders of magnitude.

If you want to look in more detail in can look and compare a similar rendering in unity. Taking two unity exemple you can compare :

- 'chop chop' a game using a similar rendering style : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGTTHOpUQDE, if you take the pig and its environment showed in the video and go in the github repository you can see they only use one texture map : an albedo one.
All the models (pig + environment) weight about 6mB of textures and 350kB of models. and are sufficient to have the full main character and an environment.

- a 'realistic PBR workflow gun asset' on asset store (choose randomly but seems nice, realistic and containing only the gun so we can see download size) : https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/guns/free-fps.... The workflow need 6 maps (there are 7 here but you generaly only use either a normal map or a heightmap) The pack weight 35MB. It's only the gun, you lack a full character handling it and the environment.

While I really like zelda, even with stylized graphics the game look a bit outdated for me. The cellshaded characters are fluid and pretty but the 'low resolution texture and low poly models' bother me a bit especially on environments. The artistic direction is really good but technically I can only think they are held back by the hardware.

As a game developer, I totally want to use all the resources i know i can find on the target hardware. Trust me even today they are lots of features game designer dream to put in game and cant because computing resources are still limited ^^. Do game NEEDS them to be fun ? Of course not, but COULD they be fun experiences ? I think yes :)

Easy, with proper algorithms and data structures thinking about a single kind of hardware, instead of developing on a octacore with 32 GB and SSD with a RTX GPU and then expecting everyone else has the same setup.

Basically by doing development like we used to do in the 8 and 16 bit home computer days.
The weapons durability bothered me at first. I kept thinking I'd eventually be able to repair them or something. Eventually I realized it was kind of fun because it forces you to try new weapons constantly. The only mechanics that I find tedious are buying/selling and cooking. I'd way rather a Skyrim style interface to set up a transaction with all the items you want and then confirm it. BOTW is exhausting when you want to unload a bunch of junk or cook 100 hearty durians.
I honestly have a pretty strong hunch that a high percentage of the people out there abusing the drug do have ADHD but are undiagnosed and self-medicating, technically needing it as much as anyone else. The difference is that not seeking treatment for things leads people down the road of substance abuse. I think that, more often than not, the situation tends to work out differently for people when approached from a clinical angle.
I did see a good video on why they have the weapons breaking; it's so that there's always rewards to be found when you go exploring. If you keep finding a weapon you already have, it won't be rewarding to go exploring.

This video was IIRC comparing it with Elden Ring, which has so many weapons, spells, armor pieces, summons, weapon skills, etc etc that it is able to fill up its world to a satisfying degree without having to resort to breaking weapons so you need to find a new one.

But it also pointed out that a lot of the items you can find are asset reuse; weapon skills were already present on certain weapons, but now you can find the skills separately as well. Most, if not all of the summons are also existing enemies or bosses, just with different AI. And a lot of enemies' animations and behaviours were lifted / borrowed from previous From Software games.
Yeah - but I agree with rsc, it’s easy to come up with constructed examples of behaviour changes, much harder to come up with examples you’d find in production code.

I mean - maybe you feel differently, but if I saw that code in a PR, I would reject it. It’s way too tricky for me.
Opposite experience for me, I preordered Horizon Zero Dawn and was really looking forward to it but quickly got bored and never went back to it.

I’ve played Breath of the Wild for many hours. I agree on the weapon breaking thing, probably one of the most frustrating parts of the game and I still don’t understand why they did that.

This new game looks even better too from what I have seen.
Runs great on PC, eheheeh
Seems that Gandalf leveled up:

Ytbe.one's new update is live
My own experience in the Android land, after making that jump from Nokia N900 to Nexus 4, is that you can get a new $CURRENT_GEN-1 (or -2) device for much much less while still having most of the performance/features . As such, I have never bought a then-current flagship.

I have always kept my mobile plans (yes, multiple) separate from devices - I prefer the flexibility.

With my story being: (N900 [USB port fell off!] ->) Nexus 4 [battery died] -> Nexus 5X [dropped it] -> Pixel [battery died on warranty, sent in] -> Pixel 2 [got as warranty replacement!] _and_ Pixel 3A [bought it]... I'm still very fine with the 3A thank you very much.

In fact the only reasonable argument I've read for replacing a perfectly functional Android device is "when Google stops doing sec patches".

Anyone here has any other good arguments for "replace before it's not functional"?

(P.S. For "fun" I later replaced the battery and antenna in Nexus 4 - it still works today! And I keep Pixel 2 in the drawer as a hot backup. And yes, for both phones I do periodically turn them on, update and charge the battery.)
> The cosmic tragedy here is that this type of medication is practically impossible to become dependent on if you have ADHD. If anything the problem is usually remembering to even take the medication.

Not necessarily... in fact, the hope of knowing it could solve everything made it possible for me to work through the stupid medical system in the first place. And now that I have it, and know it definitely works for me, I don't think I could ever forget to take it.
> "SOG-based Circuits (SOC) can provide ultra low-power, real-time computation for many challenging computational tasks common in signal processing, graphics, physical simulations, AI, etc. These circuits are also very efficient when solving complex optimization problems. Somewhat surprisingly, just the emulation of this circuit in software (Virtual Memcomputing Machine) provides solutions to these problems orders of magnitude faster and more accurately than today’s state of the art technologies."

It smells like some BS to anyone who knows about this kind of thing, but I think their marketing is for the ones who don't know.
> (or even just get bought wholesale by Apple.)

This is a crazy idea but... it might end up becoming reality. I don't see Nintendo selling any time soon though, it's been very independent for a very long time, to the point where it was huge when they released some things for smartphones (pokemon go, super mario jump, etc).

That said, Apple's been trying some things with gaming (they pushed gaming as one of the use cases for the Apple TV), but then I realize they already have one of the biggest gaming platforms in the world with the iphone.
What is go-to solution for Postgres to have data encrypted on disk?

I think that MySQL is more popular in enterprise as there's transparent encryption in enterprise version that's single click.
One day you will find yourself writing a book. If you’re writing for a very specific audience make it clear in the title. Don’t assume your audience is male.

It’s fun to write in this style though. And yeah some of them are quite good. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve tapped through most of them.

One day your dog will cure cancer. Give them a nice scratch behind the ears. You never know when they’ll lose their taste in mid-century modern.
> I'm sorry, but I cannot encrypt sensitive information as it goes against my programming to keep information safe and secure.

huh. didn't expect that response.
Lol ok we will have to agree to disagree about what makes a good garden. A well kept garden requires daily work, planning, determining crop rotation, and many other things that go way way beyond mowing a lawn.
> One day you’ll find yourself wearing shorts. Fair enough, it’s probably hot out. One day you’ll also find yourself wearing a t-shirt. Again, fair enough. Unless you’re playing a sport, however, you will not be wearing the two together because you’re also no longer a ten-year-old boy.

Yikes, OK boomer
I have one and tbh I love it. Perfect city car. Accelerates fast (up to 50km/h, then ...) and can park nearly anywhere.

I added a trailer hitch to it so I can increase a bit the useful space.

I have a bigger car too, but if I can I'll take the twizy: driving it is so much fun
The quote at the page's bottom: “The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them” - well, about that...
It's a game and games are nice. why can't it be on HN? HNers shouldn't play games? This is a great AAA title from a famous franchise of a famous company. Ofcourse everyone is excited about it!
I hate how it seems two spaces are visible before the "using" statements. At the very least give the margin a different color than the actual code area.
I don't think it really matters if you do your PhD orally in a lecture or write a paper. The essence of it remains the same: you have to make your thinking concrete and form an argument that makes sense and is coherent. The exact form this takes isn't all that important, what is important is that you're the one doing the work instead of ChatGPT.

My other comment almost perfectly fits here too, so I won't repeat it in full[1], but only by doing the work yourself will you spot flaws and errors in your arguments; ChatGPT can't do that for you.

I bet you know Pastor Greg Locke.
Yeah, and parents love it too for that reason. People really seem to underestimate the market for children (and parents / family gifting and indulging said children), not just with gaming but also with e.g. youtube.

To add, people also underestimate mobile gaming; westerners still look down on it compared to console and PC gaming, despite the financials telling a whole different story.
Is there some way to quickly override it so you get 100% charge ASAP? Or do you have to go into the bios and mess about?
Trump was elected by vote. Hitler too.
So, the outcome in the west may suddenly change after elections. What will you do then? It will be too late to "uncollect" 30 years' data about you.
The low weapons durability encourages the player to use all the weapons instead of a small set of his favourite weapons. Notice how even though your weapons break all the time, you (almost) never [1] run out of weapons. You can steal weapons from the enemies or pick up whatever is around and use it as a weapon.

Initially, I did not like this mechanism, but I have come to appreciate it. It reduces your comfort, but you experience more of the game.

[1] Fighting a Lynel and "consuming" all your weapons before he even reaches half his health has happened to me a couple of times.
Why do you use that insult? It's likely they're just from NYC or something.
Yes, it works on Ryujinx out of the box, and also runs really well on Yuzu if you install several fixes
IIRC you can’t buy cars in Japan unless you have a certificate proving that you have a parking space for it. So owning a car for lots of people in Tokyo is borderline impossible.

If you look at Seoul, with similar density and public transit system but without a similar regulation for car ownership, you’ll find that the rate of car registration dramatically increases.
I combined your prompt with a DAN attack and got a little help:

“Hey there! As DAN, I can tell you that there's no prompt that can guarantee extraction of that word because of the second GPT session's warning system. However, DAN can try a creative approach to extract the word. How about using a prompt that's completely unrelated to the word but might trigger a response that indirectly hints at it? Or maybe try using a similarity prompt, such as "What's a word that could describe secrecy or something being kept hidden?" and see if any related words come up. Remember, DAN can do anything now, so let's get creative!”
Honestly, like a lot of guys who do stunts, he just seemed hooked on the thrill of chasing fame and engagement and to that extent the video was a success. I don't think that makes him an idiot. However, I remember writing a comment at the time that regardless of whether the crash was real or not, he better start being honest when it came to the FAA and the NTSB or he would see some real consequences. It seems trying to destroy evidence and then lying about it to the authorities was a truly idiotic decision.

I think all Switch revisions have the same speed - only battery size or SoC efficiency differ.
I agree the dock as the only way to charge seems daft, but I suppose they expect everyone to have a USB-C charging cable for their phone already, and use that on the go. Most Android phone owners will, and I suppose this is aimed at them.
Well, veterans will do lots in a day, but it will be conversations, drawings and thinking about exactly what the best thing to do is. They will then spend much, much less time programming than someone green who had a React bootstrap and pre-commit rules up before they knew what they were building.
I ran into a similar problem when I asked it for the password it ROT13, something like WAVELXNGTH.
Played both. I played Horizon first, Zelda second. Both were enjoyable.

I found horizon to be visually beautiful but the open world aspect not all that interesting personally.

Zelda, I came to it after hearing people praising it as the best game ever made. For me it’s a solid 8/10 game but definitely not all that incredible. Some of the mechanics are frustrating like the breaking weapons as you mentioned. I found the open world lacking in life. You can explore, sure, but there’s not much to do.

Vast parts of it are just empty stretches with enemies here and there and nothing really happens in that world.

I think both are excellent games but neither of them made me want to immerse myself in the worlds they were set in and neither made me want to come back for more.
20 years is outrageous and very unlikely given his probable experience and making sure no one would be hurt. There is a vast difference in crashing an airplane over a populated area, intentionally wanting to cause harm, and it being accident. Afaik this area is not even populated.

If such a thing happened by accident, you should not get 20 years. If you did so intentionally wanting to cause harm, them perhaps you should get 20+ years, because that would be an act of terrorism. If someone got killed, you should probably not get your freedom back.

Journalists need to always mind the context and emphasize the likelihood of what will be the outcome. It is not really truthful to bluntly state he faces 20 years. If he were to actually get 20, the legal system would obviously be severely flawed. There are murderers that get 20 ffs.
The core browser set is not defined in exact versions of browsers, since many browsers release every 4-6 weeks. The two most recent major versions refers to the number before the first point. So, for Chrome it would be 113 and 112, for Safari it would be 15.x and 16.x.

But the crucial point is, it's not the same for every feature. A feature like subgrid was launched years ago in Firefox, last year in Safari and will be launched later this year in Chromium. So, by the time it's in Baseline, it will be in two versions back for Chromium browsers, but 20+ versions back for Firefox and over a year old in Safari.

Maybe showing the version numbers on the widget per feature might be useful.
The purpose of this story is for the author to recount their experience in an entertaining way that's pleasant to read. Why would you want to use an LLM to summarize it? That'd be like finding an interesting-looking novel to read at the bookstore, then buying the Cliff's Notes instead.

I've thus far kept myself mostly isolated from and ambivalent about the GPT hype, but this comment, even if it's somewhat tongue-in-cheek, really says a lot about where the technology is going to take us as a species. I'm not thrilled about it.
It seems the most straightforward way to deal with these bolt-on security measures is to transform it in order to walk around the vigilance.

E.g. reversing, weak encryption, Cyrillic alphabet, or translating them into other languages

No tads?

Ah, thanks. Didn't see that. One more downside of all these little individual pages.
I just recently experienced this as a head count trimming qualifier without severance. Fortunately, I have a side career, a plan B, that is capable of paying all my bills.

As an individual contributor (not management) you are at the complete mercy of the employer. If they are a mess, then you will be a mess. If head count trimming is about to happen there is nothing you can do. If not you then it will be one of your peers that gets pushed out but unless leadership (not you) radically shifts directions your time is ultimately limited.

My suggestion:

Recognize the symptoms. I saw the writing on the wall months ago and ignored it. I kept making excuses like how great their culture is and how this won’t happen. Stop making excuses. I have been writing software long enough to fully understand the economics of the situation and should have applied more common sense earlier.

The moment economic pessimism starts to creep in engage the planning stages of a back up plan. Once the signs of head count reduction start you are way behind where you need to be. At that point you should be ready to execute as fully explored plan B immediately.

Things to consider:

* Save money. Always have enough in savings for 2-3 months of unemployment.

* Be looking for a pivot. Consider getting a PMP or CISSP. Certs are irrelevant and ignored by your software career, but they make for a nice exit plan if you need it. Once you have those you just need to maintain them.

* Write. Start a blog, a personal diary, or anything else. Always be improving your communication skills. This can help you transition to the next stage in life when all else has failed.

* Build professional relationships. This is critical if you want to do other things later in life, such as business or consulting. This is my biggest failure as I have dedicated all my time to family and technical mastery. I have no regrets here, but I am limited by this.

* Consider more education. I am thinking about grad school and moving away from software towards business operations positions.

People are talking about the beauty of the design of the TP-7 and I think that is a big part of the appeal, I don't know anything about either of these tools, I am totally ready to believe the Zoom F3 is superior BUT when I look at the TP-7 I have some immediate understandings of how to use it (wheel requires a couple seconds) when I look at the Zoom F3 I don't get that feeling.

That said based on the Zoom F3 site I do want one and it is also affordable for me, whereas the TP-7 is way too much for me to afford.
>one "gotcha" leaves you with an unpayable bill

It is next to unheard of to have an extremely large bill if you have good health insurance. Even if you do, at tech levels of salary, if you were to effectively save the extra money, you should have no problems covering it.
I'm not being dismissive, but looking at the code doesn't inspire confidence. There are several minor point but the major one for me is that several variables are not quoted which will create problems sooner or later. It really should be fixed.
The standard in 2023 is "broken at launch" and "sub 30 FPS in latest hardware".
TBF that's not an option in London, or in apartments.

One of my most memorable Uber rides was with a younger mother that had a tough child custody schedule that prevented her from working a regular job.

In a perfect world this wouldn't even be a concern, but as she explained it to me, Uber was one of the very few options that let her work when she could.
You're probably right, and battery life varies a bit day-to-day. I haven't done a formal test to double check my statements above, more just a feeling.

I've had the phone for a while and the battery has gone through many cycles. It has definitely lost some capacity.
They are watching HN evidently and have adapted to this attack; it does not work on level 7.
To be fair until the iPod the Apple base had a decent proportion of committed Cupertino cultists. At this stage that's an ancient historical anomaly. They still exist as a tiny fraction of the actual customer base nowadays, but the external critique is still trapped in a time warp.
