alt Hacker News> "Exactly as tall and as steep". How is a mountain that exists in a video game exactly as tall and steep as the real one?
A mountain irl is, for instance 783 meters tall (sea level). A block in minecraft is always 1x1x1meters (according to the game engine def). Thus you make a mountain 783 blocks tall. You can also easily raise the sky limit if it becomes a problem.

The exactly for something with a scale and rounding hurts to read
The point is that this kind of prose is typical of LLMs. It’s like describing a driving game with “each car has four wheels and a suspension just like the real one”.
