It would be really funny, and sociopathic, if every state change registered as a browser history entry so I had to click Back 50,000 times to get back to Hacker News.

Incredible write-up, as usual. I still fondly remember discovering Red Blob Games' Hexagonal Grids [1] guide while building an implementation of the Tzaar board game [2]. The illustrations are en…

This is a cool idea, but even more than playing it and learning about NYC, I'm curious to know how you built it, and where the data came from.

At 5 years old, in the US and UK at least, they're either in preschool/kindergarten or not in school at all yet. Grades aren't a thing at that level and I have to imagine the same is tr…

> I'm reminded of an old friend from long ago. She was an early music major at Harvard, and graduated with a MFA. She was very good. She read and wrote Latin and Greek, could compose and play …

Thanks, typo on my part.

The median income in the UK is currently sitting at £2,627 / week or £31,524 / year [1]. This is advertising more than double that at £64,189, not quite graduate wages! [1] https:/…

Reminds me of Microsoft Research's TextWorld [1] (from 2018!). [1] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/textworld …

I've been using superpowers [1] for this purpose, and have really appreciated how it guides the model to use careful, methodical approaches to answering my prompts. It's great for multi-step…

Yes, they can be anonymous in the sense that you can buy one in person and top it up without an ID [1]. [1] https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/ways-to-pay/where-to-buy-tickets-an... …

HEIR [1] is a homomorphic encryption compiler built on modern MLIR. IREE [2] is very actively developed ML compiler + runtime, also MLIR-based. [1] https://github.com/google/heir …

They briefly address this in the article: > Violin bowing, the researchers say, is a much more complicated interaction to model.

> AI also forces folks to be online to code This isn't true in the broad sense you've used. It's true that most people don't have the hardware to run the bleeding-edge foundatio…

How "fat" are the packed machines? In other words, how much bloat is inevitable, or is that entirely controlled by the base image + the user's smolvm machine spec? How does smolvm'…

It's very distracting to have every sentence in this article be its own paragraph.

I love this, from a comment on the article: He had in his path a script called `\#` that he used to comment out pipe elements like `mycmd1 | \# mycmd2 | mycmd3`. This was how the script was writte…

Cool idea, but of course the very first image I clicked into was a dick.

I got this itch too when I came across tinyrenderer [1] and worked through the early lessons through shading, but didn't quite finish the texture mapping yet [2]. It was fun to work in pure C fro…

The "locakly" typo is perfectly placed in the comment thread of this article!

And 3 'i's?

Personally, I'd love this is if it were opt-in. That way, I could gradually reduce my repeat search dependence based on me recognizing my actual habits, rather than giving a browser extension car…

First off, the ASCII art raccoon is adorable. The documentation here seems very thorough, but I'd really like to see some screenshots or a screencast of this in action! I've been using Diffv…

Mark Kermode is wonderful. Incredibly intelligent takes, thoughtful analysis, and brutal honesty when it's warranted. He's a delight to watch. https://www.youtube.com/@kermod…
