   Can ML be trained to turn written accounts into images? Based on comparing current written accounts to current images. That seems like it could make the past feel more real.

   Wow, what a fun and knowledge-filled article. It felt like reading Feynman. Just casually browsing HN, this solves a problem that's been bugging me for months in my game: The world is scaled in feet/inches, while WebXR uses meter

   Thanks for mentioning others. The main thing I love about OP's library is the simple, clear naming. A lot of complexity has been solved for me. Looking at random-js, the barrier to entry is higher. I've looked at randomness libr

   A while back there was a post about a randomness bug in Asheron's Call, the "Wi flag" [0]. I posted a comment there and was offered helpful answers about doing weighted randomness [1]. This library seems to solve that proble

    Use LLM for the broad strokes, then fall back into 'hardcore JS' for areas that require guarantees or optimization. Like JS with fallback to C, and C with fallback to assembly. I like the idea.

    I just checked out noa - I'm shocked that Minecraft Classic just went and used it without much contact? That's a really huge feather in your hat. Would you have done anything differently about that? (I just switched from MIT to

    Agreed, but I’m looking for what’s next, not the current state of the industry or jobs. I’m riding the JS/TS wave for a while but I can already imagine improvements. If a language is rising, I’ll check it for those needs. Nix has bee

    You're right. It's marketing. (The other replies with new accounts are missing your point.) Unless we consider it a ship for our star, rather than a ship to the stars. Though in a certain sense, it could lead to a ship to the s

    It's a bad system that allows that and popups to be incentivized. The worst systems are created with the best intentions. Is ignorance an excuse?

    Maybe it'll be like hard goods; a blender you buy today is made of moulded plastic and lasts 5 years, instead of being metal and made to last 20 years. For 1% of the price.

    What is the general benefit to a quantum random number generator versus a regular one? Is it that it's more truly random, or has a better distribution, or?

    Right, I'm using a percentage. The article's bug reminded me of this directly!

    Thank you very much! That led me to a JS clone[0]. Python has amazing math libraries. I use numjs[1] for everything, which is a port of numpy. I frequently wish I had use of Python's libraries. 0: https://github.com/
