For anyone curious, Beaker is a browser that can download websites over the Hypercore protocol, which is similar to Bittorrent. Bittorrent is just a way to download files, so why not HTML and images? This is cool because anyone can seed a s

There are two useful features I've found to be rare among markdown editors: 1) Inline application of markup. Discord does this for example. If you write text like this , the message preview retains the '*'s, but the text ins

Something I think is underappreciated is that if something is supported by ads instead of a subscription, then it is more accessible to people who don't have very much money. Google used to run a program called Contributor which let yo

Why does it need to work in any human language? It isn't as if self driving cars need to work on Zulu road signs before they can be rolled out in California. I'd be surprised if they ever needed to train it on more than 4 language

To me, the main appeal of pixel art is to be able to clearly see the individual pixel boundaries. To a lesser degree, I also like the look created by using a limited palette. Antialiasing makes it harder to tell where one pixel ends and the

I think there might be something deeper to it. A lot of manga and anime take place in school as well, and I'd be surprised if it's just because all the artists know how to draw is schoolchildren. This is even more surprising becau

Current games that use raytracing often only use it for 1 light. For example, Metro Exodus only uses it for the sun. This means parts that take place underground look virtually identical with or without RT turned on. It's possible that

There's a colloquial sense of building something that doesn't require that you do 100% of the work yourself. For example, when people say they're building a house, almost always they're just hiring someone else to actual
