This is the very definition of "a good problem to have."

I think they mean like CTRL+F kind of find.

This is addressed in paragraph 5 of the post they replied to.

Yeah but the article ends up defending gen AI for game development and also confuses video game AI (a giant switch statement that drives an NPC's state machines) with gen AI. This dude just has red flags everywhere.

Politics, I know, but: I guess he just missed the part where Slim is dismantling his country for profit. Oh yeah and literally a Nazi.

I'm gonna guess they meant the other direction.

In this context I took "cross-platform" to mean "Electron."

I read that as "Manta Ray Unscrewed ..." and could not process the rest of the sentence.

Are manta rays attacking underwater vehicles now?

Infuriatingly misleading title. They simulated a black hole on a computer.
