You may be mistaken. Retro hw/sw and gaming is a booming business at the moment. Plenty of crowdfunded projects that have been overfunded and then delivered, and even consumer goods being shipped worldwide in major department stores.

What differentiates Total.js Flow from Node-RED? Were there frustrations with Node-RED that it was felt were best solved starting over? At a glance it looks good, but unclear why one would switch.

As someone quite familiar with cryptography, or so I thought, may I humbly ask for the ELI5?

It's an attractive idea but I believe that probability says "no". Assuming a perfect RNG, the odds are stacked that you can assume any length(index), into the correct set of data, will be longer than that data you're see

If you attached a camera, and trained the NN running on the potato to recognise potatoes, then put a mirror in front of it have you made a self-aware potato? (And what a time to be alive)

Until you're living in a tree and sending this message with a carrier pigeon there's some criticisms anyone could level at you also. And, what if our future energy saviour just so happened to need 128GB of RAM to prove their model

While it's based on C, a large chunk of the content is simply a great introduction to number representations in other bases such as binary and hexadecimal etc. Fundamental knowledge and very well explained, and a few insights I've

Catch seems to be no detailed implementation/code as it's a private company and so likely a proprietary technology. Haven't read the whole paper and would be delighted to be wrong.

I've no horse in this race, but want to point out that a lot of the criticism here seems to be from folks who haven't actually worked with GDScript, whether in a production, or even at all.

The amount of people complaining here about how difficult it is to keep a handle on illustrates it's not a trivial mental calculation, even for HN. I would agree, especially when coordinating multiple, distant parties.

This is obviously a software problem that could be solved universally at the OS level. We have all kinds of low-level protocols for coordinating all manner of things. Distilling a coherent system of agreeing on a timezone difference, betwee

Do you have any specific criticisms of GDScript you'd like to share?

Plus, it's likely the Streisand Effect is in now full force and they actually have increased this kind of activity not just for themselves, but for anyone else with a similar, oddly inviting setup.

Most crypto projects? (Half /s...) But seriously, the buzz around ChatGPT is huge. Anyone could step in with a crowdfunding campaign to raise that if they promised the right things.

Does this mean you'd always need three reaction wheels (or possibly just two?) to be able to orient in any direction, or is a single wheel itself able to orient to face different directions before activation, to achieve the same thing?

Isn't this all based on the dogmatic assumption that nothing may ever traverse space faster than the light? There are potential ways in theory, and it's arbitrary to assume what's achievable now is all that ever will be.

Given the centre of the Milky Way is about 26000 light years away, shouldn't the title read "was" instead of "is being"? And if so, wouldn't adherence to HN's context policy require suffixing with a "

We survived nukes because everyone was acutely aware of the dangers, and of how and where they were being developed and proliferated. The resultant public backlash is what caused controls to be implemented in this case. It's a fair c

Cool. And the moment you get an incompetent, emotional or impaired human driving a car, failure generally follows. All you need to do is make sure your training set is complete enough to do slightly better than the average human.
