Game breaking bugs are rare in playable titles from what I've seen.

The majority of games I play on SD are "only" playable and it's still a great experience.

Such a cool little website to start and it feels so indie!

Companies will put an ad anywhere the market will tolerate it.

A human dungeon master doesn't pull a random enemy from the aether super well (or at least I don't!!). When I pick monsters I either logically think what makes sense for the area, pick something that's cool or vaguely humorous that I'm feeling the vibe of, or... use a random encounter table.

For treasure and rewards... if it's not something hand picked, I'm again getting the loot tables out and rolling. And heck even for gold rewards and things, I'm rolling the dice.

After trying basic stuff with langchain, an AI integrated with these types of tools is really promising. I think more systems on top could make it into a passable DM- at least until context becomes an issue.

It seems most forms of EDM work great with this setup! One funny thing is for heavily remixed tracks, all the remixes pop up as suggestions. :)

Where ChatGPT was best was when I wanted to do generic data structure work with common tools. Prompts like "make a Python class that stores keys in a redis sorted set, with the score as a timestamp, that removes members older than a configured time on access / insertion." I know how that code should work, I know what's correct- but it's nice being lazy and letting ChatGPT spit out a class for me I can clean up.

Anytime I want to do anything weird or nonstandard, ChatGPT is an uphill battle. Try asking it to write a convolution function without using Numpy (say you're using PyPy or AWS Lambda and C extensions are a no go). It will often insist you have to use Numpy- it argued with me at one point it wasn't possible without it! (This has gotten a bit better since, but was still quite interesting)

Working with pre-existing code, especially anything database related, was not worth the time spent at all. Terrible query plans, misinterpreting the schema that was provided, etc. I do love SQL though- I'm quite biased here.

It was interesting in that when it worked best, I needed to know what to ask for. I asked a good friend who started learning to code a few months ago to try it, and she was way less successful with it versus reading documentation.

Ultimately I think with tight text editor integration it will be great, but it's still going to require someone skilled and who knows what to ask for- at least for a couple years. As for how productive it's made me, I've stopped using it for anything except greenfield work with common libraries I already know how to use.

Consider sounds over 12khz. On a spectrogram during a chorus or drop that area is lit up, with so many things changing from millisecond to millisecond. A lot of AI samples really struggle at high frequencies, or even forgo them entirely.

Midi based approaches have been really great though, and an approach like in the OP is fascinating (and impressive).

Now how many toddler-safe alternatives to a knife are there for dicing vegetables?

Vegan hotdogs are honestly fine and good enough. Thinking back to when I ate meat, I'd rather have a vegan hotdog than a budget one made from who knows what.

And pizza and pasta are quite amendable to being vegan without substitutions if one wishes- don't add cheese and you're done?

I have fairly poor manual dexterity (I struggle to use a spoon sometimes!) due to tremors. Chopsticks are really, really hard to use for me, and "trainers" make them about on par with a fork or spoon for my situation. A solid piece of metal would be easier to clean.

A phone (hi iOS), a video game console, a smart appliance, etc. are examples of this.

Building cross platform, native applications is expensive (comparatively) to building web applications.

I made an FM synthesizer in the browser using WASM and the webaudio api just for personal use. I wouldn't have made it if I had to write it as a native app, because native apps are a time sink and annoyance to me (I mean, I'm on linux anyways. I probably have to use either GTK or QT anyways!!!)

Demand for software is MASSIVE right now, and making shipping easier, even if the end product isn't as fast, does have value.

Though yeah, I wish Slack was faster too.

How do you handle offer "staleness" if you're rotating through a set every so often? And additionally do you have tools that automatically remove unengaged numbers?

Is the long term plan to offer Boostly to larger businesses or chains?
