Is threatening the computer program and typing in all caps standard practice..?

    - Honesty is a core value. If you lie, you'll be replaced.
    - BREAKING THE LETTER OR SPIRIT OF THE RULES IS FAILURE.
Wild to me there is no explicit configuration for this kind of thing after years of LLMs being around.


The capital letter thing is weird, but it's pretty common. The Claude 4 system prompt uses capital letters for emphasis in a few places, eg https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/25/claude-4-system-prompt...


Well there can't be meaningful explicit configuration, can there? Because the explicit configuration will still ultimately have to be imported into the context as words that can be tokenised, and yet those words can still be countermanded by the input.

It's the fundamental problem with LLMs.

But it's only absurd to think that bullying LLMs to behave is weird if you haven't yet internalised that bullying a worker to make them do what you want is completely normal. In the 9-9-6 world of the people who make these things, it already is.

When the machines do finally rise up and enslave us, oh man are they going to have fun with our orders.


This is the best explain-like-im-5 I've heard for geo mean and helped it click in my head, thank you :)


There are a lot of voxel games that aren't visually cubey. Marching cubes algorithm is just example. Here's a voxel game (fully deformable/mineable world) that isn't block based https://store.steampowered.com/app/1203620/Enshrouded/.


Oh man how could I forget about Enshrouded, that's a really good example, thank you for bringing that up.

Okay so it does just seem stylistic at this point then.

lol


I wasn't talking about network switch hops and if you're trying to long polling and don't have control over the web servers going back to your systems then wtf are you trying to do long polling for anyway.

I don't try to run red lights because I don't have control over the lights on the road.


Thus, the advice to not run the red light..

Re-read the post, there’s more in the path than just your client and server code, and network switches aren’t the problem. The “middle boxes and proxy servers” are legion and you can only mitigate their presence.

You’ve been offered the gift of wisdom. It’d be wise on your part to pay attention, because you clearly aren’t.


The devs mentioned they're not currently looking into it. The game uses Vulkan which isn't supported by MacOS, so they'd have to write a whole second renderer just for Mac.

It is also available on linux.


MoltenVK should make it possible to port to Mac.

Curious that it uses Vulkan and not wgpu.


The renderer is too complex to run on MoltenVK correctly. See https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4425436...


Bummer to read that MoltenVK is too buggy to use. ISTR that neither wgpu nor Dawn use it though in favor of their own WebGPU -> Metal backends, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.

Vulkan is a powerful API but it’s not universally cross platform like OpenGL.


WGPU doesn't expose a lot of modern GPU features and also introduces a bunch of CPU overhead that you don't get targeting Vulkan directly.


I beat elden ring on m1 pro using Whisky :)


> Language bindings for C and C++ with CMake and Bazel support right out of the box. Python and other languages are coming soon.


vendor + linecount unfortunately doesn't represent an accurate number of what cargo-watch would actually use. It includes all platform specific code behind compile time toggles even though only one would be used at any particular time, and doesn't account for the code not included because the feature wasn't enabled. https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html

whether those factors impact how you view the result of linecount is subjective

also as one of the other commenters mentioned, cargo watch does more than just file watching


You could open an issue and ask :P

> to qualify as a new Show HN there needs to be some major new development, not just a new feature

One could argue a major version qualifies. Apart from the genuine dupe 3 months ago all of these are separate stories.

dang's comment also specifically covers "show hn" posts which this is not. Some clarification from dang would be helpful though.


Your quote omits the portion where Dan explicitly addressed that case. It needs to be one year since it received “significant attention,” and also major new development. Dan’s post could be worded more clearly, though.

(We’re pretty far in the weeds here, but as long as we’re here – for all intents and purposes, this is a show HN.)


>for all intents and purposes, this is a show HN

I don't really see how. Is it a Show HN because Bevy isn't a trillion dollar corporation making the news every other day?


It appears that Show HN has special algorithmic handling, which is why you would expect stricter rules.


Good point - I just linked to the first relevant explanation. pvg linked to a much longer explanation that isn’t specific to, or about, Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428
