Most of the subreddits for gamedev aren't well suited for self-promotion. I think https://www.reddit.com/r/playmygame/ is probably the most welcoming for "hey I built something - let me know what you think"

+1 for make a lot of small games you can finish. Game jams / hackathons are good for this [1][2]. The fact that OP got their demo in front of people in ~6 weeks is heartening though for that aspect, many people lock themselves away for years only to discover their efforts were ill-advised.

Patrick here. Yeah there's a lot of AI video out there. There are also plenty that are more story-driven better ones nowadays. https://runwayml.com/gen48
None of these are end-to-end automated though. Even for a video without a story like the Harry Potter Balenciaga style ones, there's a lot of manual cherry-picking and manual editing going on. Here's a process example for that type of content that looks quite automateable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGD8zKvRxc4 - but both 1. No one _has_ automated this and 2. It's much more difficult than it looks because of the manual cherry-picking part, and the story, character/enivornment consistency, etc.
I am really looking for another instance of "type text, get story video". I do think it's a bold claim that we're first but I haven't seen a counterexample yet.

We plan to expand to all languages (the only real limits are languages with enough training data for LLMs / TTS models, so all popular languages)
Mandarin is just first for us because:
1. Thomas was already learning it
2. We can talk to users in English
3. We have some native-speaking friends who helped early
4. Has excellent support in AI products (second only to English)

Sokpop is running a similar approach on Patreon. They have 4 devs and have released over 100 games since 2018 https://www.patreon.com/sokpop/about

Hearthstone allegedly had bots hit Legend rank back in 2014 playing Aggro Shaman. Those were believed to be pretty simple rules bots, so yeah +1 that approach gets you pretty far if you have decks crafted for it.

Requires a phone number, but is otherwise free. Nat Friedman pays for it https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1636528112224862209 Also you can compare model outputs at once with https://nat.dev/compare

Steam has already disallowed "Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs." from their platform. They have a very successful item marketplace which they get a cut of and aren't interested in blockchain systems competing. Epic has said they will allow it, presumably to differentiate themselves and because they don't have such a system.

Yeah I'd assume they're saving a lot of battery usage on the display. I would think long battery life would be one of the biggest upsides of this device, but they went with a smaller battery and thus advertise "1-2 days of 'light' regular usage", which really isn't blowing out any current smartphones. I just wonder if you're using it to listen to music throughout day via bluetooth, how much is that smaller battery going to bite you?

Also, if the price of TITAN is 0, then you really can't pay out 25 cents worth of it... It does seem correct that the contract should handle such a case differently than just trying to pay you out UNDEFINED DIVIDE BY ZERO ERROR count of TITAN

Smaller contributor here, so when I googled for a specific flash log location it was my own EDIT to an existing answer that I needed.

People are excited to watch card pack openings, more content creators start making that content since it's popular, demand for old sealed product goes up driving price increases which also makes it more exciting, not to mention the increase in content introduces a broader audience, and then again more people interested leads to more content and demand and price increases.
It's a feedback loop, hard to say exactly what got it going, how big it can get, and what happens when it slows or stops, but for now you can enjoy the mania.
Matt Levine might credit this to his "boredom markets hypothesis" during the pandemic. If you can't go out to a bar or a movie or a casino, then speculating on stocks or crypto or Pokemon cards is more fun compared to the now more limited options you have available, so more people will do that. https://archive.is/X8qY6

> 1. Query the database to find all dormant accounts with a balance, which haven't been charged the fee this month.
> 2. Charge each of these accounts a fee
> 3. Setup a cron job to run this every hour
Note that if this job ever runs successfully, but takes more than an hour, you will double-count. Can easily happen if the box running these crons is overloaded. One fix is to automatically halt the job after 55 minutes, another would be to have the middle step be impotent, for each user you're doing the process on, ensure (ideally in a threadsafe manner) that they need the operation to be done still.

I believe coinbase holds a lot of crypto - in the robinhood analogy, coinbase is their own clearing house. So they don't have to post collateral to themselves, but if crypto movement was all in one direction on a given day, they might rely on the market instead of the liquidity they themselves provide. Maybe in such a scenario they would be clever enough to NOT resolve all the trades instantly.
'HashiCorp is not named after a person; the name comes from "hash" (computing) and "corp"'
Nah it's named after the founder Mitchell Hashimoto.
Per the wikipedia summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HashiCorp
> The company name HashiCorp is a portmanteau of co-founder last name Hashimoto and Corporation.
