New comment by budoso in "Composer 2"

budoso — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 21:35:21 +0000

To be fair these frontier models have been seriously increasing their pricing as of late. Opus 4.6 requests regularly cost over $5 now, with average requests costing ~$1-2. If Composer is benchmarking better than Opus and costs $0.08 per request that's a win for everyone.

I know people like to hate Composer but competition is a benefit to all of us, and I don't doubt Composer will take it's own chunk of the consumer market.

I wonder how these findings would hold up if the analysis could control for the widespread corporate strategy of replacing domestic junior roles with dedicated offshore teams?

There is still an imbalance of power here. The average person doesn't have the means to parse through the mountains of data produced by the entire world, but states and corporations do.

And even if they did, the average person have even less power to do anything about it.

Personally I think posting to Github is the offering part, posting the tool to HN is definitely an invitation for opinions.

Any resources for new video game programmers to become more creative?

budoso — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 00:53:47 +0000

Hi HN, I'd like to do more games programming as a hobby, but I generally struggle to balance my creativity with also learning games programming concepts (I'm a full time backend SW engineer). I think my biggest issue is that art creation (for assets) is not something I have experience in, and generally game creation tutorials skip this part and include a zip of pre-created assets.

Are there any good resources/courses that provide a more guided environment, with both art tutorials and ideas for good beginner games?

I understand the most important thing is to just start making games, but I struggle to get over the hurdles of creating art and coming up with skill appropriate game ideas, any some structure in my learning might help. FYI I'm using Godot Engine. Thanks!

One trick is you don't have to use correct words. So once you find a yellow letter you can just repeat it for the next word to get it's location in the word, like 'AAAAA'. Try this for a few attempts and you'll get it (assuming you've played flappy bird a little already)

budoso — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 05:16:42 +0000

I think it’s two things: 1. What you said, politicians have little incentive to give up power on gerrymandering. 2. The American political system is designed to be adversarial, and adding an “independent” agency with that much power ~feels~ like it invites distrust and corruption.

I know its not what you meant, but “are you getting A/B tested or something?” is a pretty great software world roast.

I’d guess that it’s because it’s a signed int? So the value can be negative. Probably depends on the library implementation though.

I’d tend to agree. Except for the fact that to create good targeted ads it takes tracking my every click and move. And that this can be sold to parties that I’ve never interacted with nor (actively) consented to having my information.

Agreed but this definitely isn’t in the interest of library maintainers. If they did so it’d mean they are acknowledging all the currently open issues and deciding to do nothing, which would sometimes cause backlash.
