> Replace that, and every TV network receiving the FIFA feed shows whatever you pushed. Holy shit, Rickrolling is among the more harmless things you could have done with that.

JS is just so much more approachable than WASM. You can debug it on the fly, feed it to an LLM, there is no wrapper, it's just so much easier to tinker and work with it.

Very interesting. I just implemented a text shaper and renderer from scratch with support for complex scripts like Arabic, Nastaliq and Indic (will soon post about it here on HN). Now that you write about it, the lack of stretching really i

Four years ago, when YASA's invention was discussed on HN, it attracted very little interest. Mercedes apparently saw more potential and decided to invest. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31701133 Inside Yasa: how

After having worked with Opus 4.7 for a while I accidentially continued a session that was using Sonnet 4.5 and it felt just very dumb. The replies were much shallower than what I was used to, context was ingored, mistakes were made. I don&

Starting the first three sentences with "We" does not pass the Voigh-Kampff / "I am not a robot" test.

The number of different reasons that people come up with (and with conviction in many cases) is insane IMO, not any single reply or commenter (I hope).

The real question is how we are defining "worth." Much of the market has decoupled from traditional fundamental data, with Tesla's P/E of 380 illustrating this perfectly, but the Tesla stock price refuses to collapse. We

I think that there could be a wider screen if such formats are available. Once we have betavoltaic batteries, the entire card can be screen.

If that was true you would see unemployed parents being best at keeping their children from the screens. It is awareness, i am pretty sure about this.

MacBooks recently had this bug that you had to connect it to LAN in order to initialize it, or return it to the shop. It's not all perfect in Apple world. Still, Windows is a problem here. I wonder what the monthly fee is to get rid of

Good thing there are companies outside San Francisco, too. Actually, almost every company is not in San Francisco if you think about it.

By that definition every pyramid scheme is rational (of course only until you run out of greater fools).

The science seems to be 1. Write stuff 2. Make it better 3. Continue with step 2 It even is an algorithm.

They could at least become faster and more reliable. There are still too many situations when Claude is running in circles and not noticing its own mistake.

Yesterday I used Claude on a different laptop that for some reason had an older version of the Claude Code plugin for VSCode and ran Sonnet 4.6 which I initially did not notice. I felt something was really off. Within half an hour I had sev

I AGI ever becomes reality, an interesting question would be: What is the minimal AI system that can come up with AGI?

An Xiaomi blatantly copied that for their SU7. I think the rotary switches are the best part of the Luce. Everything else looks like someone put Ferrari stickers on a Chinese EV.

Here is an interesting first hand account about the history of Westminster. Interestingly the creator himself does not seem to know why the (IMO rather unfitting) name Westminster was chosen: https://www.mercerdesign.com/tru

I am pretty sure that I saw that font on a C64 before. Paradroid used a very similar font for the logo, but the game itself uses a different font (Paradrew).

If that outbreak was in a midsize European town like Marburg they would even name the virus after it.

I wondered why they updated the Gemini Chat modes today, removing "Thinking" and adding "Thinking level" to Flash. Looks like marketing has been working overtime.

Since Apple uses Gemini to power its AI, are those features actually powered by Google Gemini?

I have recently thinking about jumping ship, too, but for usability reasons. The Claude Code terminal is quite a desaster. Soft line breaks are copied to clipboard as hard line breaks (not great for console commands), it constantly loses fo
