Godot encryption is laughably easy to break, there's tons of packages available for it. It's a well known drawback of using godot

Gemini for day-to-day and top-of-head queries and claude for the real beefy work

they have AI, they don't need QA or tests, come on man, aren't you a 9999999x engineer?
seanthemon··on Diode – Build, program, and simulate hardware
A more mature version of this is "CRUMB" found on steam, it costs money but it's got a lot of great features.
seanthemon··on OpenAI acquires Sky.app
A mobile OS most likely, or at least a complete cover over all of our applications, this is the only way for them to get more real training data.

Hi Mike! If you spent 9 months writing this book by hand, couldn't you do the courtesy of commissioning an artist to make you a cover image by hand as you clearly see the value of doing things by hand and not stealing the hard work of all the artists who have worked tirelessly to make art by hand only for AI to steal that work and for you to prompt it in seconds.

Put more effort into respecting other art forms and you might not get this reception next time.

but clearly he lapsed here and as a non-listener I immediately clicked out.
seanthemon··on Hand: open-source Robot Hand
It's a well known fact that birds aren't real and you must be a target now.
seanthemon··on Tell HN: I Lost Joy of Programming
Generally I agree, I use LLM to solve work problems faster but I work on my own personal projects by hand only using LLM to teach me concepts, give me direction or help with complex portions of code (learning rust)
seanthemon··on 3D printable 6" f/5 compact travel telescope model
Pla-cf is generally more brittle because of poor layer adhesion due to the fact that carbon fibre doesn't stick to carbon fibre. Pla also doesn't need the additional stiffness CF provides so it's just a gimmicky filament.

Petg is a better option.

seanthemon··on Can I stop drone delivery companies flying over my property?
They'll have protecto-drones and decoy drones following them until it's so expensive we go back to good ol' launching packages by trebuchet
seanthemon··on Dr John C. Clark, a scientist who disarmed atomic bombs twice
Several countries used their men as guinea pigs for nuclear tests.

Most notably was a video I watched of British soldiers going through the same thing, the anecdote of seeing bones through your hand when you try to cover your eyes is haunting.

seanthemon··on A Reddit bot drove me insane
I'm afraid bots HAVE gotten to the point where they could fool someone, you only need to fool one moderator and bots would have no problem just shotgunning into chats until one gets past the wall
seanthemon··on A Reddit bot drove me insane
So one bot is invited by accident or on purpose that invites more and more bots and that channel is dead, it will be like running from zombies, one person is infected and boom the whole commune is smoked
seanthemon··on Ask HN: How do you have effective 1:1s with your manager?
Honestly I feel like this is what I do, fill it with what they want to hear so I can progress versus actually discussing anything worthwhile because those things I bring uo at the time when it matters. 1-1 feels so pointless..
seanthemon··on “The closer to the train station, the worse the kebab” – a “study”
My rule of thumb: if it has the name of the country, i expect the food to be at best sub-par i.e "Great Indian" (gave me wild food poisoning).

Second rule of thumb: if the milkshakes are good, the food will be good - almost never fails me.

Did you read the comment I replied to?
seanthemon··on Ludum Dare 2025 is cancelled
Pride and separation I guess. Easy to separate two parts of your life if you don't intermingle finances.

Pride could be the need to finance things yourself through good ol' fashioned work, which is foolish but some are raised to think this way.

Will you be moving away from this registrar? It seems like it could very easily be abused again.
