indiehackertycoon.com is out!! If you like career/life sim games (think BitLife x Game Dev Tycoon), you will love this!
crew member @dviolite just shipped Indie Hacker Tycoon 🚢 shipped 2 days away from certain death feedback from the crew — the captains reviewed it: "this is sick, captain. The BitLife meets Game Dev Tycoon framing lands fast, just make the free-to-start plus Pro unlock clearer beside the first CTA and drop a few more actual gameplay shots on the page."

Every time Google comes out with a new model it crushes every other model on every single benchmark and I know basically zero people who regularly use Gemini

Did Gemini just.. beat Opus?
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago. Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

There is no excuse for your AI game to be slop anymore.
I may have cracked how to animate non humanoid assets with AI! H3 Max generates a video from front and side then we use a finetuned DINOv2 model to track joints! The vid explains the whole process Open source: github.com/patch-gg/anymove

Cancelling Codex sub if this happens
Bad news: Claude Code now has an image generation skill.

ditto with generating images at 1080p and upscaling to 4k if you already have a codex plan then 100% cheaper because it’s included in the sub
generating AI video at 720p and upscaling it is 45% cheaper than generating at 1080p btw

Kazakhastan is serious about becoming a digital and nomad hub.. might start hearing a lot more about this in Indie Hacking circles in a year, maybe earlier

Epic Game trying to snatch a meaningful share of Steam’s customers
There is a real economic cost to Valve’s foray into forced political disclosures. Besides taking 30%, they’re also taking a potentially even larger fraction of developers’ revenue and livelihood by undermining their business with these AI hate campaigns.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Steam requires disclosure of generative AI for player-consumed content via its standard Content Survey (alongside ratings), shown on store pages for transparency, not as political statements. Steam's base 30% revenue share matches major console platforms. partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingsta… eurogamer.net/steam-revises-…

Steam wasn’t built to handle the era of vibe coded games. It is going to be a golden age for game devs, I truly believe that, but Steam will have to make big changes. The $100 fee is clearly not enough of a discouragement to slop factories.
This is disgusting...

Claude just changed fast mode to only work on usage credits - not on your paid plans usage. WTF!!!

How to run Windows games on your Mac for free. No Windows. No VM. No paid app. I did it with Until Then, fixed 5 bugs on the way, and wrote a copy-paste prompt so you can try it on your game:

Friendly reminder to put Sol to work on EVERY project you have. There's two banked resets expiring tomorrow and the day after.

incredible timeline
I turned the fly bisexual Inspired by Kallman et al ('15), I blocked mAL output in a 166,606-neuron fly model and measured responses in 8 candidate P1 male courtship neurons. In 3 experiments, when cued by other males, baseline P1 spikes rose from 0 to 1–5 after mAL blockade

The best part of Computer Use is automating away the mind numbing work of App Store submissions
