It won't live in WebGPU itself, but I do expect to start to see more third-party libraries for text. There’s already wgpu_glyph ( https://github.com/hecrj/wgpu_glyph/tree/master ) which uses a glyph atlas

(Author here) you’re absolutely right, Durable Objects are a great product, especially for the “just need a sync layer” use case. We are building the persistence layer mentioned at the end of the article to run on either Durable Objects or

I’ve worked at two FAANGs and while I respect my former colleagues, I wouldn’t consider them harbingers of what’s cool.

As I see it there are really two twitters: consumption twitter and conversation twitter. Consumption twitter is where people go to follow celebrities, athletes, news publications, brands, etc. Most twitter users don’t post, they belong to c

If you’re interested enough to be curious, it’s worth sitting down for a day with a mini kubernetes distribution and working through the basics of pods, deployments, and services. They are relatively simple conceptually (the hard part is gr

I had a similar experience; looked into using it for something, and felt that it would be easier to recreate the things I would use langchain for in Jinja2, than it would be to reshape my code to the interface that langchain wanted.

Sadly, I don’t see an alternative. To make it on HN, an article needs to break off of /new. If an article only lasts on /new for 20-40 minutes, an article that takes 20 minutes to read and digest is unlikely to garner enough upvot

Account migration still depends on the server you are moving from being online and not blocking the migration. It is only a partial solution to the problems that people look to identity migration to solve.

An explicit goal of AT protocol is data portability. DNS gives you identity portability, since otherwise you’d still be locked in to the platform that owned your identity.

by paulgb 3y ago
It’s not different from those goals. The way that creators own their relationship with their audience is by owning an identity not owned by the platform. If you don’t attach a domain to your Bluesky profile, you get assigned yourname.bsky

Being a 501c3 educational institution requires that “the services provided by the organization are available to the general public.” It’s a private institution as you say, but it’s a private institution that benefits from a particular tax s

It’s a 501c3. At the very least, the IRS believes that it serves a public good.

Rather than going through the browser’s rendering engine, it’s entirely rendered on the GPU. Super impressive.

For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit. https://makepad.dev/

I’d push back a bit on the claim that atproto features, particularly decoupling identity from the topology of federation, could have been done as extensions to ActivityPub. It’s a fundamental part of the way information flows in ActivityPub

Jack has embraced Nostr, not BlueSky. His Twitter profile links to Nostr and he has over 9,500 posts there, compared to 256 on BlueSky. The most recent BlueSky posts are from May, and include petty griping about the app that are not the sor

Sorry, you're right, private is the wrong word. I instead mean that the public web UI does not display them if you are not logged in.

I think bluesky posts have always been private, at least while they are in invite-only mode. Here's what the linked skeet says: > Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. Y

You’re both right. Aunche said that a copyright strike requires a valid DMCA complaint. A copyright owner can have material removed without a DMCA takedown, but it does not result in a copyright strike. From google: > Also, Content ID

Anecdotally, in NYC it feels like something “clicked” during COVID where some small but meaningful segment of drivers just stopped caring about any social contract. I see more cars blatantly running reds, driving with expired (or no) plates

One easy thing that should be a no-brainer is making bike share eligible for commuter benefits. In NYC people genuinely do commute by bikeshare, but it’s not eligible for pre-tax money. Meanwhile, if you commute by car, you can put pre-tax

I’ve seen this in some cities too, but me this just says that those cities have such a lack of cycling infrastructure that only reckless people are willing to ride bikes. I don’t think there’s anything particular about e-bikes that attracts
