What are your thoughts on James Earl Jones giving license for his voice after his passing for Disney to use for Darth Vader? Or Proximo having a final scene added in the movie Gladiator upon the passing of Oliver Reed during production? I s

I don't think it's a failure of design, but rather a symptom of too much functionality. The original iPhone had ~30 features it had to make work in harmony with each other. The current version of iOS has thousands . Each addition

I've done a lot of stage demos. I've done pre-recorded ones, I've done live ones. I prefer live ones, by a significant margin, even for non-deterministic AI things. In general I find live ones better, but it does depend on yo

If you're looking for a split keyboard that still has a more standard row-staggered layout, I'd highly rec the Dygma Raise. Far less of a learning curve and the build quality is quite good.

The one thing that I never see answered in the proposals is a simple answer to, "what's stopping CSAM users from using open-source encryption?". You can ban this at a provider scale, but you simply can't track or enforce

Possibly a more extreme one, but I got citizenship elsewhere. Australia taxes more, make no mistake, and the earning potential is less. Living in Australia though was the biggest improvement to quality life I've ever had. I've liv

> How is that data stored? So glad you asked. It's stored poorly because I'm bad at maths and I'm mixing up bits and bytes. That's what I get for posting on HN while in a meeting.

I know you're in this for the satire, but it's less about the webapps needing the memory and more about the content - that's why I mentioned video editing webapps. For video editing, 4GiB of completely uncompressed 1080p vi

I'm definitely excited to see 64 bit as a default part of the spec. A lot of web apps have been heavily restricted by this, in particular any online video editors. We see a bunch of restrictions due to the 32 bit cap today here at Figm

I implemented an encoding pipeline for AV1 for vids uploaded to my social news site (think reddit competitor except I'm extremely small fry). I eventually removed the code for it. While the space savings and quality improvements are go

As plenty of others have mentioned here, if inference were 100x cheaper, I would run 200x inference. There are so many things you can do with long running, continuous inference.

A fun game we used to play as kids was a similar variety, but with a home made "ball". The ball would be a balloon that was tension wrapped in duct tape. They'd last about a single game, but were incredibly light. It still ha

As already mentioned, red is a positive color in east Asia. What's actually more surprising to me is that yellow is the 3rd color after green. It's interesting to me that this breaks convention with the visual spectrum. IE red ~

Templates are solid and are slightly more performant than including your html-in-js for webcomponents, but that said I really wish there was some sort of web component file format that incorporated: - The HTML - The JS - The CSS In some s

This feels comparable to the intel's battlemage offering of GPUs. Competitive when it comes to price, but simply not at the level of nvidia's offerings nor are they usable for AI. I highly doubt these will overtake the modded 48gb

Page is broken. Looking at the returned html it appears to not be populating the strings for the page itself, rather than a font loading or css error. The content just doesn't exist at the moment.

FWIW, it appears they're purposefully introducing multiple simulated failures into this test. It doesn't appear that they're trying to make this succeed at all costs. From the site: > The primary test objectives for the bo

In general I would rather the government take a stake in corporations they're bailing out. I think the "too big to fail" bailouts in the past should have come with more of a cost for the business, so on one hand I'm glad

LLMs are a great interface for ffmpeg. There are tons of tools out there that can help you run it with natural language. Here's my personal script: https://github.com/jjcm/llmpeg

I agree with the sentiment in theory but disagree in practice. The way I typically look to segment and price things is by billing based on organizational complexity rather than gating end-user features whenever possible. If something is a s

Likewise for Dota 2 players. Some of those old / early cosmetics have shot up in price. A friend of mine I used to play with had a $500 item. Getting rid of them may fund your game purchases for a bit. There are plenty of sites out the

Fair, but even if you budget an additional $30k for a self-contained small-unit order, you've brought yourself to the equivalent proposed spend of 1 year of inference. At $100k/yr/eng inference spend, your options widen great

At some point the value of remote inference becomes more expensive than just buying the hardware locally, even for server-grade components. A GB200 is ~$60-70k and will run for multiple years. If inference costs continue to scale, at some p

It's honestly wild that a sitting US president is calling out specific company CEOs. The fact that it was done in a tweet-esque post is even more concerning. I'd expect that something like this would have been accompanied by a pro

I've noticed a fairly similar pattern. I particularly like vibecoding with golang. Go is extremely verbose, which makes it almost like an opposite perl - writing go is a bad experience, but reading go is delightful. The verbosity of go

They need metered billing for their plans. All AI companies are hitting the same thing and dealing with the same play - they don't want users to think about cost when they're prompting, so they offer high cost flat fee plans. The
