• Show HN: A Competition Game to write bots for the most efficient algo

  Reminds me (in spirit) of screeps https://screeps.com/ - any inspiration? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• AI Wars – control your 2d space shooter with AI

  I love the idea of having an AI prompt to write code for the bots. There are already games like https://screeps.com/ or https://store.steampowered.com/app/2060160/The_Farmer_Was_Replaced/ where you program your bot to do things, but they do require some minimal coding experience. Being able to describe behavior in plain english would be pretty cool. However, I think having real-time feedback is a huge part of... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Engineering Games (List)

  I've heard about Screeps which is close to what you describe: https://screeps.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Games like Stone Story RPG

  I have tried Screeps in the past, and I'm not a huge fan. I really like Stone Story, but they do not have an easy way to take your saves across multiple platforms -- you have to manually import/export your save. Source: over 1 year ago

• Helping a young coder

  -For JavaScript, my advice would be to introduce coding games. That way it's more fun and the environment would be set up better (less worrying about deep technical errors). The two games that come to mind are Bitburner (free) and Screeps (free offline/paid online), though they both have their own learning curves and require actual coding; so for a 9 year old YMMV greatly.

• Don't watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits

  The coked-up AI cartoon dragon attorney. His website, which also features the purple dragon and a bunch of busted links in the footer, says that the firm "integrates AI to lower the cost of legal services." Hopefully this lawyer is making sure this AI isn't making up the cases it's citing, which is a continuing problem: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ai+make+up+legal+cases. - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders

  That is not a definitive result. Repairing older cars to meet minimum standards is possible. They also could introduce things gradually and grandfather older vehicles into the previous lack of standards, which is what NY did. You can read about the 85th percentile principle here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=85th+percentile+speed https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=85th+percentile+speed I actually cannot check the... - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders

  It does make sense. See the 85th percentile speed: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=85th+percentile+speed Setting the limit at the 85th percentile and having most drivers drive at it creates uniformity of speed, which is known to increase safety. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• Mesmerizing Interlocking Geometric Patterns Produced with Japanese Woodworking

  Reminds me of Islamic Mashrabiya screens. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mashrabiya&ia=images&iax=images Historically, the screens were quite simple, with more complex patterns rendered in ceramic tilings (symmetry groups, colorings, knots and intertwinings). Now there are good modern screens with more innovative patterns, made with computer-controlled laser cutters. In a quick search for Kumiko examples, I very... - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• NSF director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy

  Https://archive.org/details/resignationinpro00weis From an Amazon review comment: "This book offers an insightful analysis into the history and norms involved in the tradition of resignation in the U.S. And the U.K. Why do the British tend to resign loudly in protest and Americans resign “to spend more time with family” while praising their president? How do these norms benefit and harm their respective systems?... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago
