If youre curious, Cruise has a fairly comprehensive (but long) overview of their tech that goes over their world model and world simulation stuff: https://youtu.be/uJWN0K26NxQ So no, its a bit more than a house plant

I understand your argument but it’s disingenuous to say TCP started in 83. It was widely published in 74 with implementations in 75.

Yea, as a first-time Google analytics user I recently had to navigate the GA4 vs UA products (the blogging platform I used only supported UA, but every new guide is for GA4). When it came to instrumenting my actual product, I just used Ampl

This is pretty interesting! Skiff ( https://www.skiff.org/ ) also uses private, encrypted CRDTs for their collaborative docs, but not in a BFT manner (the updates are encrypted but still sent to a central server AFAIK).

fully appreciate if you can't go into detail, but what changed? It seems like they'd always been working towards robotaxi-ing from a product perspective so it must have come down to execution-level stuff, no?

Hi HN, author here -- Dark Forest is a massively-multiplayer real-time strategy game. It's also a game that runs on the blockchain...! As a gamer first & developer working in the web3 space second, I was skeptical when I first trie

I have no evidence for this, but I think it's highly likely they're using "ignorance" as a form of brinkmanship or plausible deniability. If these senators speak with any of their colleagues, they'll know the risk a

Sort of. Look up Western Unions role in the 1876 US election[1]. Stolen communications to support a specific candidate and a compromise between political parties on military presence sounds like a very precarious position for free society t

I feel like launching this comes with a really fundamental misunderstanding around the role of a platform. If Solana is just going to launch products why would developers build on top of it knowing the platform owner (de-facto) controls the

I recently read “To The Digital Age” (would recommend) which covers the history of the transistor and I left with a few takeaways: - New transistor architectures can matter a lot (MOSFETs are why we enjoy the benefits of Moores law, BJTs wo

Antennas are super fun, they still feel like magic to me every time I see one. In college I took a microwaves theory course where we had to design antennas for some problem sets, and we gave them to some dude in a basement lab who then fabb

You can do this locally though, it just takes like 200 GB. I've run an Ethereum full node + eth2 beacon chain node on my Macbook Pro for local development, took like 10 hours to sync IIRC and just worked afterwards. I still use Infura

I don't buy that everyone being smart = everyone being magnanimous. It just means systems will need more security, because pre-meditated or costly attacks (in terms of labor or expertise) will be more accessible. It will drive more in

Wow, fantasy campaign is the first crypto-native game that actually looks like it could be _fun_ (as an avid gamer, it pains me to see stuff like Axie Infinity as the poster child for "web3 games"). A roguelike with re-usable &#x2

Just clarifying - does this mean matchmaking for League had geographic affinity (for Valorant this is true I believe)? And was that driven by a desire to ensure tight matchmaking performance latency guarantees or in-game latency goals?

OlympusDAO is doing something like this, but they do have a token - DAO members get paid and theres a staking process that lets them accrue more of the token. The token is backed by a treasury and is worth at least 1 DAI. https:/&#x2F
