Not exactly sure why that wouldn't be the default assumption. It's a pretty small subset afaict. Seems like size 1 before 2024 from a brief search. Presumably more people there have read hn at least some. But there's perspect

Sorry for the off topic question. You've been on hn a long time + work at deepseek which seems pretty uncommon. Anything you think hn doesn't know about deepseek that it should? Or any non-obvious ways hn/yc has influenced de

How wonderful! Was it a japan specific book? I might've missed it but does Morioka operate the book store daily, or the author, or someone else? So many questions..

Ya. I'm seeing some, and a few of them are very promising. The volume of good visualizations will definitely grow. But that growth seems different from the type of growth that happens in product-market-fit cases. Just makes me wonder w

A lot of these visual tutorials/explainers remind me there's some disconnect between their creation and compensation. We never really get whole curriculums of them. There's no equivalent to the games/book industry level

Is there any open world game in any genre that manages the "bustling city" effect well? I didn't play Cyberpunk 2077 but Witcher 3 never quite got there either. It seems like 'detail' is a fractal/exponential p

I made the G602 to G604 to ?? transition. I ended up on the Razer Naga v2 Hyperspeed because I couldn't give up the dual mode scrolling. It functions very well but I'm waiting for it to break and find it discontinued like all the

What privacy guarantees do these deployments make to end users? If you call a bar in SF or a concierge in Vegas, you'll often get a voice chat agent. There's no terms of service you agree to. In aggregate, it's a pretty rich

I've thought about that for a while and agree that's a big problem. I wonder if people unwilling to 'exit' bear some responsibility too? I agree most owners are incentivized to have their leveraged ROIC be high. So they

Does this have the affordances to work well with a pretty standard agentic coding setup (e.g. claude code/codex) on macos? I don't really have a good mental model of how ports/files/etc get exposed/permissioned acro

The cost & output token charts are useful but I wish I could view them more like a 3D surface. Like the CS:APP memory mountain charts. I wonder how long model size and effort will be a few discrete points instead of continuous.

Are these typical build speeds on static sites these days? It's slower than I expected for a rust re-write. (Or I guess maybe the portion re-written in rust is only a small part of the build pipeline time?) My understanding is that ast

Kinda cool to see the rail flow as arteries of a region. Would love to see for all transportation systems (freeways, freight, air, etc). The other maps are pretty cool too: https://anita.garden/projects/ Regions of one
