So sorry to hear that. I'm providing caretaking for my mother, who has GBM now, and we've been lucky to get to month 15 now. It's such a difficult disease to grapple with.

This site is not satire. You can actually pay on Stripe and it will create code for you. The site is written with satirical language but it is a real service.

Satire And Performance Art no less.

Being real doesn't make it not satire.

Yes but all of the commenters think this is a fake site created ironically. It isn't. It is a company doing the evil thing it is mocking.

I consider this a form of performance art. To really expose the absurdity of the system, you can't just point at the cracks; you need to actually stick your fingers in.

Yes it's even more effective this way IMO, we will probably see some 11/10 mental gymnastics from people condemning this and failing to apply the same standards to billions dollars corps.

Part of the point here is that the systems are fundamentally broken, more broken than they were before when we already thought they were broken. Some people look at that and think "I suppose we should keep propping this system up as much as possible; the less propping the more immediate harm is caused to people/infrastructure/society".

The people behind this site/talk clearly don't buy into that. The way they see it, a reckoning must come. We might as well get it over with as soon as possible. Rip off the band-aid so to speak. So maybe we should shake the system and show that its falling apart.

If doing evil things satirically with extremely poor result, does that become a positive outcome?

I mean maybe you can pay, it can just use some 8B model to give you unsubstantiated crap.

Sell the same thing you pretend to be satirizing, and HN it's making it go viral for free, real smart move there guys.

The numbers on the front page is for sure a joke.

Unless they already burned 20000% of their runway on tokens.

.... did you give them money? Brave!

The headline here is manipulative.

> The $212 million contract includes support services from Hitachi for "20 to 25 years,"

The $212m is a 20-year service contract for the new technology and the costs of installing it, not a one-time cost to remove the old floppy disks.

The video game market doesn’t seem like a good market for raising venture capital - there is a ton of competition, and it seems that the folks who can raise money have a track record of previously successful games. With the 5% interest rate, you’ll very likely need to bootstrap your first game to break into the industry and then you could raise for a future game.

This would be my plan C. Although I already have a track record of being key to the development of many successful games, I never published one by myself. I do have something I could finish relatively quickly alone (few months) that would be good for this but it's not where I think I should focus my efforts yet.

However, I found myself often in a role detached from the specific releases, helping on many at once, focusing on the bugs others couldn't fix, on reviewing designs early to pinpoint what could be a problem or done better, jumping in early to establish some solid base to build on, etc. This means my name isn't even in 90%+ of the projects I worked on since I wasn't directly affiliated on it at the time credits were written and for the others, my role is probably nonsense. Those teams remember me, those credits do not. Might not be best at a glance for showing to potential investors but as far as knowing things inside out, I've been involved at nearly every part of developing many different types of games, at least once. I can easily demonstrate that.

I don't have a doubt there that I can build what I intend to and that there's a large market for it, also got various plans on how to reach that market. I'm also aware of how much work that is, how long that could take, places where I can use help that can do things better than I could, who that help could be, and more but I'm also unaware of a lot of things beyond developing and publishing, that there's a lot more I'll have to learn on the way and probably a lot of extra things to do I'm not even thinking of yet. Starting with pretty much all the stuff that has to do with starting a business with more than just me

One of the options I'm considering is to straight up send emails to some of the business owners I've worked with that are aware of my impact and ask if they want to give this a shot-- but not sure under what terms I could present that

Still, if the goal is showing I can build the thing, easy. Showing it can be profitable? I can back this with numbers. Having plans on how to reach that market? I've got many before even considering involving a publisher. Will everything in there work perfectly as I planned? unlikely but I'll ramp up, adapt AND seek the help I can.

I'm currently refining the pitch and well, it definitely leaked into this answer

The Chrome Inspector Color Picker does not return the right hex code! You have to go into the properties to get the right value.

When you break the captcha rule, you can re-select the captcha. You want to keep re-rolling till you find a low number combo. There are a few rules where you can re-roll to get a better random number. In general, it gets harder and harder to stay under the 25 limit as you progress.
