I haven't really ever participated in that forum before, but it's an interesting idea. I don't know if I'm going to do it, I might. Though I also wouldn't mind if someone else posted about it there. I might even mak

Oh hi, author here. Fun to see this make it to HN.

It's not just Espressif's ESP32-C series, it's all their new offerings. The low-end ESP32-C2, C3, C5, C6 and C61, the high-end ESP32-P4, the base ESP32 replacement "all-rounder" ESP32-S21, the ESP32-H2. The last Xte

This has nothing to do with any language model or agent, this is just traditional deterministic code in the Cursor program.
215.
by mort96 3mo ago
git.exe is just a name. Cursor has no reason what so ever to assume that a random binary in a random repo is a legitimate git binary just because its name happens to be git.exe.

I haven't exactly seen an outpouring of consumer demand for CHERI.

The very first paragraph of text presented to the reader on the page start with: After loading a project, Cursor attempts to find git binaries at various locations including the current workspace. By creating a repository with

And I'm saying it's not a solution which makes using the launcher as nice as an equivalent console experience. It's a workaround which makes the game technically playable .
219.
by mort96 3mo ago
And I'm saying trackpads don't solve that. They're a workaround, they make the game playable without a mouse, but it's not how you would design a system from the ground up to be a controller-first experience. That&#x27

by mort96 3mo ago
Then what did you argue? What was the point of your comment? How is the problem "solved"?

It's a game with great controller support! I play it a lot with a controller. It's just that in the PC gaming space, "controller support" doesn't necessarily mean that you can log in to the launcher and launch the g

by mort96 3mo ago
You can't seriously argue that using a keyboard/mouse interface using the controller track pad is as nice an experience as just using a controller-focused interface. And since the Steam Machine doesn't come with a controller,

I'm sure there's some degree of just not being used to multi-threaded code, but it's also not like today's multi-threading. When we think about utilizing multiple cores today, we're thinking about running normal app

by mort96 3mo ago
To my knowledge, all consoles until the Xbox 360 had normal CPUs, but very special graphics hardware. They were decidedly not typical PC hardware.
225.
by mort96 3mo ago
Yeah, until you try to launch Trackmania and its launcher needs mouse input to function.

by mort96 3mo ago
And as a result, the PS5 is less than half the price of a Steam Machine with similar performance.
227.
by mort96 3mo ago
We're definitely way past the point where console hardware is vastly different from PC hardware; we're not in the age where what makes a console special is having a sprite processor which allows it to render graphics in a way that

Huh is that true? Does running a command in a terminal buffer block all of EMacs? That's extremely surprising, the main use of these kinds of integrated terminals for me is to compile and run which means long running commands. Is this

I don't understand what this has to do with strict mode? Yes those types should exist, but the workaround is to use an integer column for bool and a text column for date, whether or not you're using strict mode.
230.
by mort96 3mo ago
When the column is an integer column, you don't want strings in it.
231.
by mort96 3mo ago
Of course you can store timestamps as integers, but then you lose sqlite's built-in date and time functions.
232.
by mort96 3mo ago
Yeah it's a really weird design decision. Why would I want the database to let me accidentally insert the wrong type? SQLite is mostly great but its philosophy towards type safety leaves something to be desired. I once had to clean up

Are you looking at a still image or the video? The text is blindingly obvious to me in the video, while I'm having serious trouble seeing "Written In Ghost Text". But a still frame doesn't contain the information necessa

Indeed, they don't contribute to labeling. The self driving companies figured out long ago that machine learning is way too expensive. Instead, Google is using its large network of willing humans to inform automated driving decisions i

Passing a pointer within one thread requires putting the pointer into a register. Passing a SHM offset within one process requires putting the offset into a register. Passing a pointer between threads requires going through the memory syste

But... neither of the videos say "this is a ghost font"? Are you sure you are a human?

Change the DNS record?

by mort96 3mo ago
Passing pointers is not significantly faster than passing offsets into a shared memory pool.

Literally does not matter at all. The car should not automatically jerk itself into a cyclist.

I've noticed this too! The Nissan's adaptive cruise control doesn't accelerate automatically after a sign, but when it does accelerate automatically, e.g because I accepted the prompt to change target speed or because the s
