"When we started Dark Inc, we expected it to be an immediately world-changing technology." "it was clear that an 8 year old product with no traction was not going to attract new investment."

I remember having a game CD+R. It had scratches and even holes, but somehow it worked, lol.

Yes, but the previous versions didn't.

The Xreal Air 2 Ultra look pretty interesting. After using both 3DoF and 6DoF for years, I just can't imagine using a 3DoF headset for more than watching videos or simple writing tasks.

Because the glasses are much smaller than headsets, I'd assume.

I remember 2017, at offline camp, I proposed talking about using offline first libraries with existing backends. Nobody, was interested. Seems the people interested in such tech were pretty much sold on CouchDB. Just now, almost a decade la

What would the alternative have looked like? If NPM would have prevented the depublishing, he would have made a scene and in the worst case, they would have looked bad. How they actually handled it, the library author got full freedom but a

This. Gemini Pro requires a monthly subscription. Seems like a pretty straightforward business model.

"the "bespoke version soup" attitude that language package managers encourage" Care to elaborate what that means and what the alternative is?

I knew someone who believed in that. Morphogenetic fields, he called it. Something about tribes living close to each other, but with no contact, inventing the same stuff. After the first one got a tech, the others would also invent it, but

When I read about Cursor and Windsurf, I'm quite happy that I only use Aider. An open source project, not associated with anyone else...

I listened to a story about dragons. It sounded okay. Only in the middle somewhere, the loudness seemed to change drastically.

I recently learned, there is a dangerous plant in many gardens around the US. If you stand under it for more than 10minutes, you're pretty much dead. Turns out, it's the water-lily.

The backup part is the crucial piece here. If you have reasonable guard rails for your AI, you can throw much more at it. Let it write tests before implementing something, ensure the code is in version control before promoting a change, etc

If you see the generated content as "the music that's created with unlicenced samples" that's true. However, if you see the trained models as "the music that's created with unlicenced samples" it isn'

I think, the argument would make more sense if software like Cubase came with unlicenced samples from all songs out of the box. Artists sued and won when someone used their samples without permission. If you use AI to create art, it's

Ah, yes, of course What I meant is that software is interactive, while a video, for example, is not, it's static in the sense that it will always played in the same way.

I watched the whole series because of some clips from the new season. The new stuff felt more mature to me and the old stuff more like a kids show. Overall I liked both, but I get it, the new stuff felt a bit off.

While the tone on HN is much more civil than on Reddit. It's still quite the echo chamber.

It seems like the new DeepSeek performs at a similar level as Opus 4. At least to preliminary Aider benchmarks.
