This reminds me of when I worked on surgical training simulations back in 2011-2015. In some exercises most of the scene was made up of soft body objects containing millions of triangles which could be deformed and even destroyed - cutting

Another possibility is of course that Hugging Face legitimately were attacked and wrote a completely honest response - but OpenAI instructed their AI to attack their servers and the breaking of containment is fiction. I'm not convinced

I would rather say that many details of the supposed attack were published by Hugging face before it was publicly announced that OpenAI were involved. Both are big actors in the AI space who arguably benefit from increasing the perceived ca

This is amazing. Now I'm even more upset he scored so low on Eurovision.

I agree with this. I've identified as a graphics programmer for a long time because it's a passion of mine and the fact that it's my profession seems almost like a happy accident.

Unlike the rules for Quidditch I had to reread parts of this to understand it.

This, coupled with fear of making mistakes in public, was the thinking which for years kept me from writing about my work. Until a comment here on HN encouraged me to just do it. I am so happy that I listened because it seems the few people

When I saw the title I immediately thought of Xbox Adaptive Controller. It's such a cool initiative. Microsoft has a lot of really cool accessibility tools and services. For example their extensive usability guidelines, which is a mass

On the teams where I've worked which had a proper code review policy not understanding has been explicitly stated as a reason to pause and ask for clarification. You cannot give a pass for code you don't understand.

That doesn't seem to address my comment. I was specifically asking why esalman wrote > In the last couple of weeks there's been some good news coming through for Xbox Since I wasn't sure what good news they were referring

What news are you referring to? The only news about Xbox I've caught is that it's declining in profit because they removed Xbox exclusives.

This is a cool project and I really like the author's technical and aesthetic choices of how to limit themselves. But what really stood out to me is this line. > a linear frame buffer where each pixel was represented by a single byt

This is why, after spending my whole youth learning programming to become a game developer I had a crisis of faith and spent a few years working on something else (surgical training simulations) after graduating. I had done summer jobs at a

When I worked for EA (2015-2019) it was better than some horror stories I've heard, but still way too much overtime and many weekends spent at the office. The worst part that it was unpaid in exchange for an extra vacation week and the

Exactly. And it shows. It knows all the sayings, the expressions, etc. But shows very little actual practical understanding of them. Especially how to apply the knowledge it simulates.

I have a lot of friends from other countries so I've ended up doing a lot of tourist stuff together with them when they've been visiting. It has been great, gave me another layer of appreciation for my hometown Gothenburg, Sweden.

I have had the same result when trying similar things for graphics on modern consoles. I hear so much great stuff about AI coding but in my niche it just seems to fall flat. Even just rubber ducking around graphics and performance they soun

Checking the link again half a day later and now I get the original text I first saw. Very strange.

It's working now and I have to say I love this. The whole project is whimsical and gives me a strong SCP vibe but (sometimes) without the creepypasta aspect. I was very pleased to see that articles generated from links retain the conte

This resonates so strongly with me. Everything he wrote about how he wrote in his youth and the analysis of motivations to write is so spot on. It's also really interesting to know that he was actutely aware of the tendency to let the

Regex search and replace is definitely among my most used features and the preview in NeoVim is amazing That said, I do find myself using recursive macros quite often. They're an easy way to make a set of random little changes which wo

> kernel panics are part of life with consumer hardware. This isn't right. It was certainly true in the nineties, but I haven't seen one in years on Windows and I spend many hours a day in it both for work and play.

I've been using Vim daily for 13 years and switched to NeoVim about a year of two ago. For me the main advantages over Vim are just the Lua scripting instead of Vimscript, its support for language servers, and better handling of termin

I'm skeptical because this is not a new system part of those lobbyist agendas. This is a recommendation system which has been in effect for over 20 years. And this is a tweak to how they update recommendations.

How does an age recommendation take away liberties? I have kids and as a parent I use these ratings as a very loose guide combined with my own experience and understanding of the game in question. Other parents ignore them completely. I agr

I remember this period of my own life. I had taken over my father's old 486 and spent my days and evenings trying to learn the basics of programming in C. I was making silly text based games, dreaming I'd one day be creating the g
