Is this book still the best book given that it's 10 years old?


Honestly the fundamentals, and the tools for that matter, haven’t really changed. Just the trend of popular genre and composition.


About how much revenue or how many users do you estimate a game like this will have per month?


One fun thing I learned here is that advertisers won’t even consider a site or game that’s not launched yet…not even Google AdSense would approve me. I am tracking this though and obviously want to make number go up.


One metric I track is what % of users return the next day. I'm trying to bring it up to 10-20% before I assume there will be any revenue. Currently at 5% for my game, which may be due to difficulty.

Can I ask what your return % is?


Are you coming from the software world? If you are, you may be surprised to learn that semi companies actually reply to their job posts. They never had the problem of having tons of matches to sort through.


You aren't trying to support ad-based demand like OpenAI is.


Where do you find the leaked BOMs?


RedNote usually, before it's deleted.


The last 1% in FSD is an asymptotic challenge. The last 1% in a CRUD app codebase just requires a few engineers.


The last 1% of FSD needs a teenager with 30 hours driving experience. (using the premise of your second sentence applied to the first)


Sure but if FSD needs a teenager to physically monitor the car, TSLA is not worth the valuation.

A robotaxi is not like vibe coding multiple setups. You only get a split second in some cases to intervene.


Yes my point is your statement in my view should say:

The last 1% in FSD is an asymptotic challenge for AI to master. The last 1% in a CRUD app codebase is also an asymptotic challenge for AI to master.


My wife suggested this concept and I put it on my ideas list. Well done, you bastard.


Haha you’ve got a smart wife. Thanks!


Investors are balking at putting up more cash, so Nvidia is offering to backstop their own sales. It's not a red flag in terms of fraud but is very much a sign of uncertainty of returns for AI companies.

Altman wants OTHERS to spend trillions are GPU. He needs the scaling hype to continue so he can keep getting investors to put money in hopes of an AGI breakthrough. If there is no funding, OpenAI is immediately bankrupt.
