That's too bad. The github[0] for it is kinda cool. Uses the 'CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Strongly Reciprocal'. The assembly instructions[1] give a bit of a hands on feel. Th…

They have a countdown for the pre-order here[0]. Seems like it's available as a kit Wednesday, August 19th, 2026 at 10am ET to pre-order. I love all I/O devices.. I think the main difference…
comment
That's pretty cool. Thanks for pointing that out. I don't see where it says 'on every update' unless you're referring to the automated checks? I've always wished extensio…
comment
Ha. Fair. I admit I was angling for lore (history, culture, influences, typical coding stack, vim vs emacs vs ? distribution but I guess it’s probably more harness vs harness now...) but this definite…

Do you have a database/ui of all of this story graph labeling you've done? Is there a story behind it?
comment
Not exactly sure why that wouldn't be the default assumption. It's a pretty small subset afaict. Seems like size 1 before 2024 from a brief search. Presumably more people there have read hn …
comment
Sorry for the off topic question. You've been on hn a long time + work at deepseek which seems pretty uncommon. Anything you think hn doesn't know about deepseek that it should? Or any non-o…

'show more/less like this' should work[0] with cowboy's for you feed. 'more/less' was proprietary for discover but they've rolled it out to other feeds now[1]. …

What disciplines are near the apex of prestige in germany over the last few decades?

How wonderful! Was it a japan specific book? I might've missed it but does Morioka operate the book store daily, or the author, or someone else? So many questions..
comment
Ya. I'm seeing some, and a few of them are very promising. The volume of good visualizations will definitely grow. But that growth seems different from the type of growth that happens in product-…
comment
A lot of these visual tutorials/explainers remind me there's some disconnect between their creation and compensation. We never really get whole curriculums of them. There's no equivalen…
comment
Is there any open world game in any genre that manages the "bustling city" effect well? I didn't play Cyberpunk 2077 but Witcher 3 never quite got there either. It seems like 'deta…

I made the G602 to G604 to ?? transition. I ended up on the Razer Naga v2 Hyperspeed because I couldn't give up the dual mode scrolling. It functions very well but I'm waiting for it to brea…
comment
What privacy guarantees do these deployments make to end users? If you call a bar in SF or a concierge in Vegas, you'll often get a voice chat agent. There's no terms of service you agree to…
comment
I've thought about that for a while and agree that's a big problem. I wonder if people unwilling to 'exit' bear some responsibility too? I agree most owners are incentivized to hav…

From Section 3: "require all prime contractors and subcontractors at any tier to map and illuminate, as further described in subsection (b) of this section, critical supply chains" Sec. 3 (b…
comment
Does this have the affordances to work well with a pretty standard agentic coding setup (e.g. claude code/codex) on macos? I don't really have a good mental model of how ports/files…
comment
In the introduction video they say 5.6 Sol autonomously post-trained 5.6 Luna. Curious what this means.
comment
The cost & output token charts are useful but I wish I could view them more like a 3D surface. Like the CS:APP memory mountain charts. I wonder how long model size and effort will be a few discret…

"trains on the Nambu Line have been operated by a team of two staff members, a driver up front and a conductor in the back [...] It turns out that in order to play the station-specific departure …

Latent Space (AI), old Conversations with Tyler (econ-ish?), Odd Lots (financy?), Unpacking Japan (autological?)... Social media algorithms, newsletters and guest slots expanded my podcast selection t…
comment
Are these typical build speeds on static sites these days? It's slower than I expected for a rust re-write. (Or I guess maybe the portion re-written in rust is only a small part of the build pipe…
comment
I've come to view a lot of these things as questions of a kind of conversational (/computational) tractability. People have limited time and so most discussions are subject to numerous const…
