Pirates! is a fantastic game. What I find fascinating is that some games like Diablo, Dunes II or Doom spawned a whole genera, while other fantastic games could not find a worthy successor. I'm thinking about Syndicate, Lemmings, Defender of the Crown or North & South (god the laughs!), and many others.

These headlines really sound like the glorious The Register of Old, before the suits showed up and murdered it.

This is a great report. Using a claude.md like that is honestly genius.

I'm surprised there was no human tested for a base reference point. I'm pretty sure some of us would not pass the test held by another human.

On my very first job at the turn of the century, I remember I was by a client seating in front of a server, looking at a black screen waiting for something to happen, highly doubting the claim of the client.

"It only works when you guys are here". Yeah, right.

Already 3 coworkers had to deal with this but couldn't find anything, this was more than strange. So I asked them to yell as soon as something happen.

15 minutes later my wandering thoughts were interrupted by Pipes materializing itself into existence. Oh. And for that day I was the hero.

If you turn them on when it's not raining, it explodes.

As many here I'm in love with Total Commander for a long time and it was my first purchase.

I find equally amazing that it's a one man shop. Christian Ghisler created, maintains and supports this application for 30 years (initial release: 29th Sep 1993).

I have boundless admiration for this kind of dedication.

I still like to have a unique id field per table. It helps logging and it doesn't care about multi fields "real" key.

However I keep an unique index on the string value and more importantly point integrity constraints to it, mainly for readability. It's way easier to read a table full of meaningful strings rather than full of numerical id or uuids.

Another reason I saw was that models were trained on 512x512 "portrait" images including very few hands. Added to the inherent complexity of hands, this throw off their generation.

Has it been trained on HN comments??

Where does this amount go? Back to Finra members?

In addition English clubs were the first to solve the hooligans problem and as such were the first to remove "prison camp" like fences between the pitch and public, giving games a fantastic atmosphere.
