Not quite 'HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR,' but damn close.

I know this is frowned upon on HN, so feel free to vote me down. But it only works on Firefox for me, not on Chrome. Error Message on Chrome: Error: Failed to initialize graphics. at SceneManager.initGraphics (rmmz_managers.js:195

Mythos marketing really leans into that "too powerful to be legal" vibe, much like how PS2s were allegedly banned from North Korea because their chips were basically missile-grade.

You will probably have to use the BigInt data type to track those wait times.

I am working on an OpenType text shaper and renderer in Javascript and Rust with minimal memory requirements. Will allow complex scripts (Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, Khmer, etc.) rendering with standard TrueType fonts on embedded systems like

Living only a good hour away from the Polish border I must say that this is really great for our region, too. When the income difference was higher, there was a lot of property crime (mostly cars, but also other things) originating from Pol

Also, the Poles who I talked to have the feeling like money is going into the right projects and corruption is relatively low. This is quite different if you talk to people from Bulgaria, for example.

Who decides that this is from Banksy? I could make a stencil graffiti in my village and claim it's from Banksy and noone could prove me wrong. Or is he using a digital signature as proof of authorship?

A very simple explanation of Bézier curves is this: - You have one polynomial describing the x-coordinate and one describing the y-coordinate, and both polynomials have the same degree (two for quadratic, three for cubic Bézier curves) - Th

You may be right, but that was not the point. There were many voices who claimed that AI would make Google obsolete.

The entire concept of multi cloud is amusing if you think what cloud originally was supposed to be. They could call them meta clouds (might infringe trademarks), and with the current growth trajectory of AI generated code eventually multi-m

Sometimes I actually do want a discussion and Claude just goes without saying a word and implements it, which then has to be reverted. We obviously have different expectations for the behavior of coding agent,s sp options to set the social

I disagree. I wan't agents to feel at least a bit human-like. They should not be emotional, but I want to talk to it like I talk to a human. Claude 4.7 is already too socially awkward for me. It feels like the guy who does not listen t

How "social" does Quen feel? The way I am using LLMs for coding makes this actually the most important aspect by now. Claude 4.6 felt like a nice knowledgeable coworker who shared his thinking while solving problems. Claude 4.7 is

Well, after having high expectations from watching the intro the actual result of a simple prompt "Bear on a bicycle" is very underwhelming. Maybe AI is not good at everything, yet.

It is not about starting over, like moving from CVS or Subversion to Git. jj is backend compatible to Git, so nothing really had to change on the backend. It's just that although Git was created by Linus Torvalds it is not perfect and

We all need to give ourselves a push and finally make the next step in version control. Github, Google, Microsoft, Meta (did I forget anyone relevant? Probably) should just join forces and finally make it happen, which should not be a probl

That Dynamic Duo disk at the beginning reminded me of my friend who got his house raided in 1987 for exchanging (not selling) cracked computer games for the C64 at the age of 18 in super rural Germany. He still managed to get into the army

When they later actually sold the t-shirt they had previously presented as an April Fools joke? That was pretty cool.

This project has a very niche target audience — people sitting on a bunch of legacy Paint Shop Pro files from the late 90s / early 2000s. But for them, it solves a long-standing problem: there's been no good way to convert these f

It is great to solve "puzzle" problems and remove road blocks. In the past, whenever I got stuck, I often got frustrated and gave up. In so many cases AI hints to the corret solution and helps me continue. It's like a knowled

It's both. Of course the massively shrinking share of the Chinese market is a big chunk of the problem. But the whole mindset here in Germany is completely delusional with the idea to be leaders in environmental technology and sustaina

The problem is that this will only work in one direction. You can calculate the stimulation of the photoreceptors for a certain spectrum, but not the other way around. For example the eye cannot distinguish between purple light consisting o

The performance numbers are impressive, but I do not get the on-board AI spin. What is it used for?

Of course the robots have been pre-trained and the movements are scripted, and nobody is claiming otherwise. But there must be a lot of autonomous balancing taking place. At one point you can see the robots adjusting their feet slightly dif
