Looks amazing! Would love to know when the weapon is charged and how much each shot takes.

Btw, this game reminds me of BBS door games. Great stuff.

Very cool project, AI is definitely going to transform religion and make it far more relatable and understandable. If anyone is interested, we released Noah's Bible that has full ChatGPT integration. You can click on any verse and get a full summary and chat about any verse.

One thing we also added is imagery, generated by AI, which gives the Bible imagery that most text based bibles do not have.

I got this email and I went to sign in and my account is gone even though the email said I have 90 days. I guess they deleted everything and all my Behance data as well.

There was a great HN post of DragonFly vs. some other databases: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31796311.

I am not sure if the latest version improves performance but those are some bold claims of Dragonfly.

New comment by electic in "Apple blocks Coinbase Wallet"

electic — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 22:55:57 +0000

This is not what is happening here. It's worse. If you want to send a NFT to another address, you need gas to complete the transaction.

Coinbase does not get gas fees to complete the transaction. This isn't a swap. This isn't an exchange for ETH.

Absurd and I've downvoted you.

FTX isn't DeFi. It is a centralized exchange, similar to a bank or a brokerage. DeFi, ironically, is the complete opposite of this.

New comment by electic in "FTX faces potential hack, sees mysterious outflows totaling more than $600M"

electic — Sat, 12 Nov 2022 07:33:13 +0000

This isn't crypto. This is a centralized exchange with a centralized website, with centralized databases, that is run and controlled by humans. In fact, if you use a centralized exchange there is no use of blockchain for the most part.

There's a literal saying, "Not your keys, not your coins". Only if people would listen.
