I did not expect to see a Patriot reference online today, thank you for making my day.

For others, Patriot is a dark comedy TV show available on Amazon. I highly recommend it.
Huh, well apologies for the assumption though I merely have the blog images to go off. When I look at the render that shows the top ortho and the one for the bottom cable geometry the highlights end fairly abruptly. The only curve that visually looks C2/G2 to me is the acute angle blend between the tray edge and the back of the phone cradle, that has a nice acceleration of the radius in and out of the transition.

It's possible the Shapr rendering engine is not very subtle, or perhaps the G2 math is accurate in a strict sense but the output is not very differentiated from G1. It's mathematically possible for there to be a continual change in local radius, i.e. be curvature continuous, while still having local changes be sufficiently aggressive that it visually appears discontinuous at a human scale. Each CAD kernel seems to make these things in its own way, hence different industrial design studios will strongly prefer the use of certain 3D CAD programs to make their final master models (e.g. Alias). Personally I drive CREO as for ages most manufacturers overseas used pirated copies of Pro/E or CREO and thus I could send them "native" surfaces. In that program my preferred curvature continuous coefficient range was 0.52-0.57. I don't have Shapr access handy so messing around with the coefficients and finding a result that you like is outside my domain -- and perhaps you already did!

Still, all that is on the modeling side, but the best way to actually check the visual smoothness of your corners is to use analysis tools like curvature combs to check how aggressively the model is making transitions. It doesn't fundamentally matter if you use the built-in automatic tools or manually adjust b-splines in your NURBS: the smoother your combs change the smoother your corners will look. [I checked the support page for Shapr to see if it supports curvature comb analysis and saw nothing about it, so you may be out of luck on that front until future updates.] Absent that you have to just spin the model in CAD and see how smoothly the highlights roll around and hope the built-in rendering engine is doing its job well.

One last item of subjective crit in sculpting smooth models: when applying a fillet to an edge that turns a corner, such as your interior pocket, you'll have a less visually cramped and abrupt appearance if you use a fillet chord (edge radius) that's nontrivially smaller than the chord length of the turn it has to make (corner radius). Maximized fillets that come to hard corners and make a full spherical bubble, e.g. your initial models shown in gray, generally look less natural than those that allow the fillet to turn the corner. This lets the highlight work its way around in a racetrack form instead of getting "stuck" in the extremes.

Nice work dude, I wouldn't comment if it didn't seem like you're dedicated to making continual improvement and learning new tricks.
I really am! I guess you're not interested in a good-faith attempt at clearing up that confusion, though.
It is. Binaries generated by cosmocc have NUL in the middle.
Perhaps he was observing the layer making sure it had integrity? Oil layers famously have an optical effect (iridescence from interference of reflections). This effect would transition as the layer goes from >= 1 molecule thick to <= 1 molecule thick (on average). It's likely possible to pinpoint this transition experimentally and then using the oil volume obtain the molecular layer thickness.

If you’re going to try data reduction and compression, always try compression first. It may reveal that the 10x reduction you were looking at is only 2x and not worth the trouble.

Reduction first may show the compression is less useful. Verbose, human friendly protocols compressed win out in maintenance tasks, and it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Centralization on trusted servers is going to happen but if they speak a common protocol, at least they can be swapped out. For JetStream, anyone can run an instance, though it will cost them more.

It’s sort of like the right to fork in Open Source; it doesn’t mean people fork all the time or verify every line of code themselves. There’s still trust involved.

I wonder if some security features could be added back, though?

There is no conflict here.

I'm so confused by your comparison. Children cannot consent, which is where this argument ends. Whether they are harmed by a sexual act or not is not really relevant in the slightest - they cannot consent to it which makes it statutory rape.

Look, we can both play the emotional game - are you unswayed by the testimonials of people living in lifelong debiliating pain and suffering who are not given any legal way to end their own suffering? Someone who is paralyzed in every way other than blinking their eyes is telling you that pure existence is suffering and they want their life to end - you're going to stand in front of them and say "no, you're not allowed to"? You'd be stronger than most of us I guess.

> Comparing a human brain in these terms makes it incredibly obvious how inefficient the human brain actually is. A 1.7T model can answer questions about practically anything. You say a human brain has 150T params. So what? It struggles to give masterful answers in even 1 domain, let alone dozens/hundreds. We need to stop comparing parameters and synapses as if they actually matter, because AFAIK, they really don't.

Meanwhile the best class AI is trained on the output of human intelligence. When AI can learn by itself in the same way humans do (or even more efficient ways) that's when we can say human intelligence has been surpassed. Until then it's just tools for humans to use to augment their intelligence.
It certainly sounds like you "understand that experience is often the best teacher"!

As far as not caring what others think of you - I believe it comes with age. As social animals I believe we evolved to care a lot about the feedback from others while growing up since that helped us get along and survive in our tribe/clan. As we get older, we're the ones providing that feedback. Plus, survivorship bias makes us think our way must be right. That's why old people get cantankerous.

Launch HN: Modern Realty (YC S24) – AI Real Estate Agent for Home Buyers
Hey HN! We're Raymond Xu and Raffi Isanians, the team behind Modern Realty (https://modernrealty.io). Modern Realty is an AI-powered real estate buying experience that helps you purchase homes without relying on a traditional realtor. Demo: https://youtu.be/VhsWSVn5blA

Our mission at Modern Realty is to make home buying easier, faster, and far more enjoyable. We interpret real estate data, giving you an edge on other home buyers.

Since 2024, there has been a growing need for innovative solutions in real estate, especially with tools like Zillow making it easier than ever for buyers to find the right house at the right price. However, the process still requires an agent, even though buyers are doing most of the work themselves. Modern Realty changes this by offering an AI self-service solution.

Raymond and Raffi came face-to-face with this technology's potential while working on AI at Google and handling billion-dollar asset transactions as an attorney, respectively. The AI tools we've built guide users through every step of the home-buying process, from scheduling showings to making offers, all without the need for a traditional agent.

Before we expand further, this summer we've built our core AI real estate agent, which can handle everything from disclosure summaries to competitive market analyses. You can see our platform in action at https://modernrealty.io. We're particularly proud of our offer generation tool, which creates offers that are then reviewed by an attorney at no additional cost.

We're excited to be launching here on HN and would love to hear what you think! If you're in the market for a new home or just curious about the future of real estate, visit our website or schedule a call with us to get started.
I'm ignoring upfront cost here, and going based on the premise of 100€-300€ as the monthly fee for colocation. You can't amortize your way out of that.

Part of the reason for this is the way it used the position of the mouse pointer as reference for which direction the ship should be pointing, but hid the mouse pointer while playing, which concealed the fact that it was using the mouse pointer in this way.

The consequences of such personalized entertainment will be great:

- lack of socialization. It's impossible to form a pop culture when everyone has their own pop stuff. We're already struggling with too much individualism to the point where people are teetering on miserable en mass. Humans require points of reference between each other to tie them together, imo.

- promotion of echo chambers. Part of media is that it pushes people outside of their comfort zones. Gay acceptance would've never taken off if people weren't exposed to positive depictions of gay people. Media that never challenges anyone's biases isn't very useful. It won't create much thought for the end viewer, it'll exist more as a distraction than a piece of art.

- stagnation. Contrary to what people may think, we haven't discovered every type of story. There are pieces of media I've seen that I've never seen before, that have never existed before. Look at the late producer Sophie. She was doing things never done before, and music has been around for a very long time.

I'm not sure I am all for abandoning all projects, but I do remember reading a comment on this very website that really resonated with me.

Someone was complaining about always starting projects, but never finishing said projects.

> the OS a provides a function to “unpair” a part

With your idea, if my phone gets damaged to a point I can't access that function anymore, all of its parts are non-reusable and complete e-waste. IMO a better and less complicated solution would be to blacklist the serial numbers when a phone is reported stolen, and phones can check serial numbers against a server (if offline just assume the parts are fine for now). Parts should be considered innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

There's probably ways to break this system such as blacklisting the servers from your DNS and never connecting to any network other than your home, but it makes the phone much less practical to use and it only takes one slip-up for the phone to brick itself

> The ideas contained within whatever book would not pop up on her mind out of thin air

You say that as if your child won't hear about these topics from their peers. Some of whom will have lesbian or gay parents. Some of whom will be trans. All you're doing is making your child work off hearsay instead of accurate information.

> I want to leave themes of sexual orientation and gender identity to be explored at a later stage

Really? Then why are you dressing them in stereotypically girl clothing, calling them "her", and exposing them to the heterosexual relationship between you and your wife?

Exposing a child to something doesn't make them that thing. The proof for that is very simple: Exposing a girl to a boy doesn't make her a boy. Exposing a child to a heterosexual relationship doesn't make them heterosexual.

Instead, exposing children to drag queens and gays and lesbians and asexuals and trans individuals means that there's a the greater the chance they will choose to continue to live if they are something other than a CIS gendered girl attracted to boys. It means they won't feel like they're broken or wrong or hated. Suicide is a very real problem for children encouraged to remain in the closet.

Exposing children to information is how they learn. It's better if the information is accurate.

> I want her happiness after all.

Apparently only if it matches your definition of who "she" is, or after you feel that "she" is "old enough" (whatever TF that means).
They offered many features that wordpress.com copied (staging sites with one-button cloning; easy backup and restores; automated updates of php and wp code; tweaks to prevent security issues; automatic cdn) and others like serious engineers answering support tickets to help you sort out whatever fragile, insecure wordpress crap your marketing team, or their wordpress contractors, installed on your site.

We shouldn't overrate a lot of those features, because I think they were pretty obvious things to want. But WPEngine was, afaik, the first to market with all of the above in a pretty-cheap and seamless package.

> absurd assumption that an individual owns a particular arrangement of facial features

They do, in combination with the rest of their abstract characteristics, such as personality. This is commonly referred to as identity - who you are. You own it by virtue of it being impossible for anyone to. You're you and you'll always be you, and nobody else can be you, by definition.
I usually think of abandoning and finishing as two different ways to resolve a project. Resolution is a good goal that allows you to be explicit about what was finished or not before stopping.

Yes - an how did that benefit Apple at the time? You could take all the computers built with a Scorpius processor and put them in your hand. Not even a hand because there were none. There is a great deal more to adopting a CPU than simply it works. There needs to be tools, a foundry, scale to reduce cost. It was that type of thinking that almost destroyed Apple in the late 80s early 90s. Sometimes Engineers think that just because something is "great" engineering it is automatically a great product. Sadly Microsoft proved that thinking to be incorrect.

That's right. There is not yet a definitive answer on what dark matter is, just several theories. WIMPs, MOND, primordial black holes...

> Now Physics seems to be so stagnant

Crapping on modern physics for a lack of progress seems a popular thing amongst us lay people, but despite all the credit you give them (and that they deserve,) I doubt Einstein or Planck would have just intuited the right solution to dark matter.
I have a hard time trusting the CL macros I write because of unexpected interactions with the context that I use them in. While it is the case that CL macros are more powerful than the R6RS macros-by-example system, Racket’s system (and some other newer languages that have adopted things pioneered by Scheme and Racket, such as Elixir) give you hygienic macros without sacrificing expressive power.

I want my macros to be easy to write correctly. That can only happen when the system has proper hygiene.
