No she can't, comments likes yours are just made up nonsense that AI hype-mans and investors somehow convinced us are a fair opinions to have.


Check out replit agents, they can make games and apps autonomously now


Practical challenge with a $250 prize: Make a 2D isometric HTML+JS game (dealer's choice on library) in the next 48 hours that satisfies these modest random requirements:

A character walks around a big ornate classic library, pulling books from bookshelves looking for a special book that causes a shelf to rotate around and reveal a hidden room and treasure chest. The player can read the books and some are just filler but some have clues about the special book. If this can be done with art, animations, sound, UI, the usual stuff, I'll believe the parent poster's claim to be true.

As someone using LLM-based workflows daily to assist with personal and professional projects, I'll wager $250 that this is not possible.


Sounds like a comfy sequence in a larger game I would anticipate on replay. I put my own $250 on the table (given the prompt and process were forthcoming).


The question at the heart of people's anxiety here is: Would you bet that same $250 if AI had 5 years to be able to do it?


Do you know of an example game I can play right now?


While AI is overhyped by some people, the parent's statement is not only true but was true long before o1 was released.


Do you know of an example game by someone with no coding experience using an LLM?


At the end of the day, as long as there is player input, cheaters always can simulate it/enchance it.

But the deeper your anticheat detection, the higher friction there is for cheater.

Having to get extra hardware/modify existing one is a huge leap in friction, and probably filters out an overwhelming majority of wannabe cheaters


You can render all the scenarios in the world, but ultimately You have to tell the client which on is correct.

And this will always be simply too slow for fast paced games.

Unless ofcourse you send the confirmation to frames before its actually displayed, but that brings us to square one


Disagree.

But it's not really feasible to argue since you need to be on such high level in the first place to honestly engage in 'is this player chesting' conversation. And it's on case-by-case basis


Can you expand on the disagree?

I've watched professional games in SC, CS and DOTA for decades and I definitely agree that pros are indistinguishable from a good cheater (not a rage hacker).

One of the issues around this is cheating within pros too. People that are actually good at the game, but use cheats to get even further ahead. These players are already statistical anomalies and even from an experienced player's perspective, you can't tell if they have an amazing game sense (many really do) or he's wall hacking, as an example.


You absolutely can do that and (almost) all games do that already.

This type of cheats are DECADES in the past.

Today is all about a) enhancing normal behavior with artificial precision, not making any 'illegal' (from game perspective) actions. b) giving player information he isn't supposed to have but that is passed to client for latency sake


'Promotions' table is incorrect, right?

It's inverted...


Because languages are more then just syntax, so ofcourse You'd rather have your favorite language copy some syntax you like, then be forced to switch entire stack to another language just to be able to use that syntax


Tsmc is manufacturer, but whose design will they be using?


Leaks say that tensor G5 is designed in-house based on ARM softcores [0].

What about modem tho?


>samsungs bloatware

How is it any different then google's bloatware?


I'm more accustomed to Google's software. And I don't recall ever having to follow elaborate tutorials to uninstall/stop notifications for shit I don't want, like I do with every Samsung phone.


Being accustomed to one over another is fine, but there is no objective reason one would prefer google's calculator over samsungs one, or calendar or whatever.

I have google's apps included on literally every android phone out there - why do we pretend like somehow it's the samsung that is the only one forcing bloat on people?


The objective reason, as I mentioned, is user control. Samsung makes it too difficult to uproot their apps. Never had anything close to that problem with my many Google phones.


You can't fully remove google apps either, not to mention GMS itself


Why is it worse?

Samsung's experience is objectively more customizable (you can have custom color schemes, custom keyboard layouts, macros and more).

At the same time, samsung defaults have neutral design, while google screams at You "this is a google app" almost everywhere.

I guess the only downside is that samsung's UIX is heavier on the performance side, but in context of flagships it doesn't matter much.

So again, what makes you say pixels experience is better?
