I had this problem, didn't figure out the solution till the end of the project- it's bots. Even bad bots are HUGELY important for multiplayer game development because now you can iterate every second instead of every week. I thought bots would be too hard to make for my game, but they really weren't as they don't even have to be good. With LLMs i'm fairly sure almost any type of game can be botted at this point too.

These local TLDs should IMO be used on all home routers, it fixes a lot of problems.

If you've ever plugged in e.g. a raspberry pi and been unable to "ping pi" it it's because there is no DNS mapping to it. There are cludges that Windows, Linux, and Macs use to get around this fact, but they only work in their own ecosystem, so you often can't see macs from e.g. windows, it's a total mess that leads confusing resolution behaviour, you end up having to look in the router page or hardcode the IP to reach a device which is just awful.

Home routers can simply assign pi into e.g. pi.home when doing dhcp. Then you can "ping pi" on all systems. It fixes everything- for that reason alone these reserved TLDs are, imo, useful. Unfortunately I've never seen a router do this, but here's hoping.

Also, p. sure I grew up playing wc3 w you?

I tried every trick in the book, but in the end only dev console could save the day. It was a null reference exception on not buying a bundle...

ss: |system| Answer as many different ways as you can. Each answer should be short and sweet. No more than a line. Assume each previous answer failed to solve the problem. |user|

So "ss how to center a div" would give you code for flexbox, css grid, text align, absolute positioning etc.

In general I am using AI for syntax questions like "how can I do X in language Y" or getting it to write scripts. Honestly, often the default is pretty good.

I put in a bug report for this years ago but it got ignored :( https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/137066

Vscode has gotten slower over time. It's true you can't get nanosecond performance out of JS, but anything under 17ms should be trivial. I believe the vscode developers are skilled, it's just they don't care (imo) enough about performance for whatever reason, and that's a shame.

My fear is that we see a similar problem with other generative AI in that it gets stuck in loops on complex problems and is unable to correct itself because the training data covers the problem but not the failure modes.

Isn't that the opposite of the title? ~60% of execs then don't expect this? Also, the execs don't really clarify what "fewer people" means, could be .001% fewer people.

I did do a delta sigma using the pios but fed via cpu, essentially used just a look up table of amplitudes that fed a bitstream into the pios to get a psuedo 133 MSPs dac.

My strat is having a deploy.ps1 script in every project folder that sets the project up. 80% of the time this is making the vm, rcloning the files, and installing/starting the service if needed. Roughly 3ish lines, using custom commands. Takes about 100ms to deploy assuming the vm is up. Sometimes the script gets more complicated, but the general idea is that whatever system I use under the covers, running deploy.ps1 will set it up, without internet, without dependencies, this script will work until the heat death of the universe.

After losing everything I reran the deploys (put them into a list) and got everything back.

I'm with you on some of the routing setups, mine aren't 100% documented either. I think my router/switch config is too complex honestly and I should just tone it down.

Absolutely yes-

Funny story, originally it was generating 10kish tilings for a 6x6 board with 2 stones. but when I moved one of the stones over we would get... 0. WHAT? Apparently there is an entire field about dominoes (of course) and I had stumbled into something called the "Mutilated Chessboard Problem". It's impossible to tile a chessboard that has the top left and bottom right square removed. 62 open squares, doesn't matter, it's untilable. Crazy. Many boards are like this.

There is actually a very neat proof as to why, too. Placing a domino tile removes 1 black and 1 white square. So if you have e.g. 10 black and 12 white squares you're done for, you will always end up with the 0 black squares and 2 white squares remaining. With this intuition I was able to speed up the generator by skipping these types of boards.

As for it's implementation, it is a bit brute force, it recurses over a 64 bit bitboard to find all the possible domino tilings for a particular board, using bitwise operators for moves. I then use the 01 02 domino values and group them by the row/column numbers, so I can eliminate multiple solutions (less fun imo). There are definitely trillions of tilings, so after calculating all of them for a particular board and shuffling them only the first N are stored and then saved to a sqlite database.

A bit of both, made a generator that spits out games and then I played 10 procedurally generated levels and picked the ones I liked.

In general my favorite levels are the 7x7 with 5 stones, you can legit logic them out if you are patient. I only put in one since it takes quite a bit of practice to get to that point.
