Impressive! Does anyone know if this is open source? Or perhaps can be run locally as a server?

Not sure if I'm missing something, but the submission title says "open-source" and in the tool's help menu there's a link to the repo (https://github.com/playcanvas/supersplat https://github.com/playcanvas/supersplat), the tool runs in your browser, there's no server involved besides a Web-Server hosting the files.

I found its repository after searching google. The license is MIT. [1] https://github.com/playcanvas/supersplat https://github.com/playcanvas/supersplat I remember a time when it was considered unpolite to ask a question without googling first. Is it still the case?

  As I recall it, the asshole move was to reply to a question with a LMGTFY link.

    Those were the times when you could actually rely on Google to give you the right results for such a query near the top, and more importantly, give you the same results it would give to the person you're telling to Google it.

      Kagi allows you to share a URL to a specific search results page. Maybe it's time to revive the idea...

        It's not. First, Kagi might give the same results today, but what about tomorrow or a year from now? Will Kagi still exist a year from now or will Kagi links all be broken? A better idea is to follow this HN guideline here and everywhere: > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. The kind, non-snarky response to something that could be searched for is to simply answer the question.

        > First, Kagi might give the same results today, but what about tomorrow or a year from now? When you share from Kagi you share the actual results, not the search that led to them. I believe they don't change over time. If they ever disappear, the next search engine will be just as good for that same question. > The kind, non-snarky response to something that could be searched for is to simply answer the question. A few times, sure. There are things that cross the line in my mind though. You do occasionally run into questions which took longer to write than it takes to check. I think it's ok to discourage them slightly while still providing the obvious answer. Lgmtfy worked great for those because you know what is and always will be the first answer for them.

      The most annoying thing is when you google some question or problem, you find a forum where someone is asking your exact same question and people just tell them to google it. :D
