Thankfully it's a demo account, and it's costing me a fortune but I thought a worthy experiment. You can see the logic, votes and thought process behind each council decision on the page. Aggression is set to max for this test

Nuclear plants, planes, etc use colour so you can differentiate very quickly under pressure. Much easier to shout "THE RED BUTTON!!!" than "The second button five down from the left!"

Re:Ask HN: Would you play AI developed games? on Friday July 10, 2026 @05:22PM (#48865460)
I did too, and I'm pretty sure you're right... it won't be a profitable venture itself... but if you make a few games and keep players then perhaps you can sell that side to others as a development 'studio'

Or just be in it for the love of the game.. :)

Ask HN: Would you play AI developed games?

I had children relatively recently so have gone into mobile games, and unfortunately every game I've tried is pretty much filled with ads and microtransactions - even ones that you can play entirely offline.With the frontier AI models I've been attempting to recreate some of these games and I've managed it with some of the simpler ones.I'm not going to release them and they're just for me with...

If you're flying a larger passenger plane into basically any major airport, ILS should get you most of the way down - you just need to control speed (you're looking for landing speed +10 by the end)

Depending where you're flying, some arrivals have gaps which threw me off massively when I first started - it's because IRL there's ATC there to guide you to the final intersection for the runway, usually 10NM out... so aim for that and capture ILS, it's quite a wide margin for capture.

If you're going manually, 10nm out you want to start descending at around 600-700fpm from ~3000ft and you should have visual on the runway at this point

Who has been caught out by this anti-pattern from Google?

I travel quite infrequently these days, but I've been caught out by this antipattern from Google a few times...You search for a hotel, find one at a reasonable price, and go through to the website and book it. The wiser among us may actually glance at the dates and realize Google never asked us when we wanted to stay.Unfortunately I'm not wise, and got caught by this same thing a few years ago...

Re:LLM Paper Trading on Saturday May 30, 2026 @03:40AM (#48333705)
We've been running experiments and refining our trading harnesses for the past 2-3 months, another thing that affects it is the amount of money it has available - you can also build in personalities beforehand with different agents such as aggressive, moderate, wall street, etc

I'll keep an eye on your experiments and take notes!

Re:LLM Paper Trading on Saturday May 30, 2026 @03:31AM (#48333639)
Interesting - do the models know they're paper trading without real money? I've found if they know that it affects their decision making

It was the cat, those little fluffy bastards walked into a human camp about 10,000 years ago and kicked everything off. That's why the Ancient Egyptians revered cats as Gods /s
There's some repos I'm unashamedly keeping alive with Claude alone and he gets co-authorship - basically stuff in "maintenance mode" that I still use that I've forked and had Claude drag it into 2026

A quick PR where I've found the bug myself in the code, and ask Claude to write the fix because it's faster, and verified it - I don't include Claude's co-authorship.

Very easily these days, even if minified is difficult for me to reverse engineer... Claude has a very easy time of finding exactly what to patch to fix something

Very strange, I put the title of the article but HN seems to not like the word "fully" and removes it after I click submit...
Anthropic vs OpenAI will probably be The Machine vs Samaritan

(Person Of Interest for those who haven't seen it, watched it a decade ago and it's actually quite surprising how on point it ended up being)

I don't even think Anthropic balked at being used to assist, as long as a human has the final say.

Aye that's not a bad plan, to be honest I think my Strix still has a few years left at least but we'll see.

I built my ideal laptop... 4TB storage, the 5070, all the mods I would need, and it comes to $4000+ :(

My ASUS ROG Strix cost me $1500 back when the 3080's were new and has a 3080. Have prices risen that much?

I wouldn’t say sour grapes, just that people have a certain budget. Forgoing Business/First i used to be able to afford more days away, maybe an extra city, etc

As I get older I take business class more, because I prefer the comfort over having a few extra days. Ask younger me and he would have taken the extra holiday days

Sideloadly and a lot of messing about, it doesn't need to be jailbroken though.

You can, I've already made a modified version of Apollo and sideloaded it onto my phone with a tweak to set my own key instead of Apollo's

However there is a line on the developers page now that says all apps need to accept terms and sign up for a developers program, so I have my doubts it will continue to work either

Re:Reddit Strike Has Started on Sunday June 11, 2023 @02:19PM (#36284066)
Apps were always willing to pay money for their usage, but not the insane pricing Reddit put in front of them ($12k for 50 million calls)
Seems to be working now, not sure if it's just me or whether it's working for everyone?
