Try out the new models at https://aistudio.google.com . It's a great way to experiment with all the Gemini models that are also available via the API. If you haven't yet, try also Live mode at https://aistudi

The standalone app is at https://gemini.google.com/app , and is similar to ChatGPT. You can also use https://aistudio.google.com to use base models directly.

That makes total sense in many applications, including games. The idea was to have TCP sockets and Websockets to enable that. Basically, have the same APIs you're familiar with in a Browser, but in a much smaller package that you can s

See the binary sizes in the (obsolete) releases page: https://github.com/windowjs/windowjs/releases About 8 MiB in the end. Note that these builds have a binary trimmed by UPX.

https://windowjs.org is a very similar concept -- it wraps Skia and exposes it as the Canvas API, but also embeds v8 for a very small runtime instead of using Node. It was my first open-source project, released about 3 years ago

The Last Question is perhaps the short story with the most mind-bending finale. Highly recommended. http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html

It's even more disappointing for open source projects.

Spot on. I actually know a couple of people who have been rejected and they don't have a very clear reason for the rejection. However, I could tell during the conversation on the interviews whether I was doing well on a particular topic or

Yet another unrelated-but-related reply: I actually feel a fear of rejection when posting on HN . I know I usually don't have much to add, so I don't post often; but it has happened a lot of times to start writing a reply, and then just di

I'll mention a related question I've been pondering on lately: how does one assess his own skill level? When one has people around who are clearly more able programmers, one can take the chance to learn from them and try to achieve their sk

A little meta, but how did you find you were misquoted in this particular article? 1. You read it by chance and found it? 2. Someone notified you? 3. Some software scans every article/comment submitted searching for "Paul" and you review it

This reminded me of the Lost Symbol book (which is also mentioned in the article. For reference, it's from the same author of The Da Vinci Code). I recall reading this in the book and regarding it as junk science, but it really exists after

Why I would take vim or emacs any day: - versions available for many platforms. Your editing skills on Linux are easily transferrable to Windows or Mac, and others. - Free, and Open Source. - Insanely extensible, with a rich collection of e

Hi Patrick! You mention several times your past as a salaryman, and from your posts I get the feeling you're very happy about not being one anymore :) Besides the "pull" factors (such as loving to develop your own product, manage your own

On the other hand, Apple didn't have a cash-cow before the iPod, if you regard it as their first cash-cow after Jobs' return. And going from there to iTunes, to merging the iPod and mobile phone everyone carries around, to arriving at the i

Mixed feeling about your fine comment. On the one hand, it masterfully debunks the original text. On the other hand, it's way too redditty, and I don't know if I want to see this often :) +1 nonetheless, since your comments are frequently v

Care to elaborate? Is the solution presented in the original article incorrect? BTW, the original solution yields 27 whites: 5 from the start, and then jar1 is used 2+3+3+3=11 times, yielding 22 more. I noticed the solution in the article i

Of course iChat seems more plausible. The Facetime-in-iTunes idea is rather wild, but: * iTunes is available on Windows, thus bringing FaceTime to Windows and making it a serious contender against Skype * iTunes is widely deployed and this

I think it's because all of the points relate to saving time of the reader. If something can be said in less and clearer words, do so. People who read a lot eventually hit texts that could have been way shorter and clearer, and develop a bu

Quite recommended if you want to learn more about how a Unix system, and Linux in particular, is put together. I installed it a long time ago, and I remember learning a ton. I suggest that you dig deeper into any topics you read about in th
