I won by just grinding and touching grass

Should have been "use it as your password"

Pokemon Go was pitched as Pokemon on your phone with AR to integrate into day to day life. There's no reason to expect anything but the Pokemon games I've played, now natively on my phone with AR integration.

What came out was a clone of Ingress with a skin and a shop. It lacked the full set of Pokemon, which all the assets for already exist. It lacked having a six-Pokemon team. It lacked trading, a core feature of Pokemon in every generation of games. Gyms weren't even gyms, they were some sort of checkpoint XP farm thing.

If it had been pitched as what it was, I may have enjoyed it more. Instead, I found myself vastly disappointed with what I was able to achieve playing it compared to Pokemon on my Nintendo DS or some other handheld console.

I don't think this was a politics-based decision. I feel misled and disillusioned.

It would seem to me that purchasing a piece of software as an AI company is just an outright admission that they could not generate an equivalent piece of software for a better price?

If it was cheaper to use their internal AI to create these tools, they would.

What's the long-term or even short-term strategy to make money?

It's not like $60m in funding was given as charity.

Love [this take](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18866#issue...)

> Just my own observation that the same pattern has occurred at least 3 times now:

> release a model; overhype it; provide max compute; sell it as the new baseline

> this attracts a new wave of users to show exponential growth & bring in the next round of VC funding (they only care about MAU going up, couldn’t care less about existing paying users)

> slowly degrade the model and reduce inference

> when users start complaining, initially ignore them entirely then start gaslighting and make official statements denying any degradation

> then frame it as a tiny minority of users experiencing issues then, when pressure grows, blame it on an “accidentally” misconfigured servers that “unintentionally” reduced quality (which coincidentally happened to save the company tonnes of $).

Hello! I'm a full-stack engineer with a big love for the HomeLab & Home Assistant communities (I try to support some FOSS stuff when I can!)

If you've read this far, I humbly ask you to read my LinkedIn recommendations, and if you do follow up with an email, rick-roll me. I could use the laugh.

Sent an email a couple weeks ago! Just a bump to be on the lookout for it!

Was just looking at this the other day for personal reasons. Great work!

I was hired by this guy for my first job in Software Engineering after applying via Hacker News in 2018. True story!

Have you seen snapcast? That's currently my go-to audio sync solution for running whole house audio. Always open to alternatives, but so far nothing beats the performance and accessibility

Check out Twinkly. Little pricey, but if you can grab them on sale they're super cool.
