I find the big push towards supporting and white washing a second Trump term fairly astounding because it feels like Trump is really good at scapegoating the people around him.

I don’t outright disagree with most of the things Mark says (his words not my impression of the significance of them), but I do feel like Trump is going to push everyone around him to cross their own ethical/moral boundaries. Not everyone who is supporting Trump right now can be a winner, almost definitionally.
I'm using D for audio plugins and we do use CTFE extensively (named comptime in Zig). Zig might be a bit more fit maybe because of the easier C and C++ interop and targetting, but I'm not sure about the COM and OOP story.

I just don't understand how commoditization argument is stated as truism in hacker news and in most AI posts that's the top voted comment. If at all, I see perfect non-ASI AI as superset of search engine and no search engine can match Google's quality even after 2 decades.
I think you are overestimating how much an average person can change itself. I’ve seen therapy helping to surmount some hurdles, but completely changing a person, in a positive way, rarely. Again keyword: average.

I visited the website with one question: how? How does a blind person ride solo? Or is "legally blind" a different thing from "blind"?
Ask HN: Tools/Techniques to design a SPA with reactive state management in 2025?
I'm building a single-page app with a complex UI and data model. I'm using reactive state management and I want to plan it out properly. Are there good techniques for modeling the system—kind of like how you'd use ER diagrams for databases or UML for object-oriented design? Looking for simple, practical methods before diving into code.

Yeah I was thinking about how one could explore this information to look at spcefic events but they might not have enough data to show them. For example I would expect the enclaves of Occitan speakers in far southern Italy would show up.
> this future has AI like a commodity

Thats why I like the idea of openrouter so much. Next token prediction is a perfect place to run a marketplace and compete on price / speed.

It's hard for me to see a future where the long term winners aren't just the chipmakers and energy companies.

With the o3 benchmarks its becoming apparent the primary thing from keeping current generation of models from getting smarter is more processing power. If somehow chips got 10x faster tomorrow, it still wouldn't be fast enough. Even at 1000x faster than current performance, those $3k o3 queries now cost $3 which are still too much.

If you invest in a data center, any amount of billions you put in will not future proof it because faster chips are always around the corner and you will be at the mercy of suppliers.

If you invest in a model, even if you invested billions in 1-10 years people will be able to run equivalently powerful models on consumer hardware.

I'm loving the competitive system LLMs created by having a unified API interface allowing you to swap out models and providers with single lines of code.

Founders cards being worse than board partner models hasn't been true in like 8 years. They switched to dual axial rather than a single blower fan with the 20 series, which made the value of board partner models hard to justify.

Since then, Nvidia is locked in a very strange card war with their board partners, because Nvidia has all the juicy inside details on their own chips which they can just not give the same treatment to their partners, stacking the deck for themselves.

Also, the reason why blowers are bad is because the design can't really take advantage of a whole lot of surface area offered by the fins. There's often zero heat pipes spreading the heat evenly in all directions, allowing a hot spot to form.
I would argue refrigerators provide a lot more utility for most people than high poly counts.
They A/B test reels in facebook. My mother's facebook has reels in it. Not mine. Soon, the apps themselves will lose any sense of history and they will morph into whatever new content format is favourite. All you need is account with Meta. The content will find you. Zuck has that covered for you.
Unless the "outline" is like tensing a rubber band around the object. In that case, the collision would happen outside the convex part.

XLA is the compatibility layer. You train using Torch/Jax/whatever you want, and XLA ensures you can use TPU. There aren't many hurdles, most people train in the cloud anyway.
But then you have to use macOS.
The story from the article matches my experience. The LLM's first answer is often a little broken, so I tweak it until it's actually correct.
This is just absolutely false, Steam says that 4.21% of users play at 4K. The number of users that play at higher than 1440p is only 10.61%. So you are wrong, simply wrong.

You're referring to a visibility graph.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visibility_graph

On a visibility graph you can run any search algorithm. The key thing is this graph is sparse (the number of nodes is really limited by the amount and complexity of the obstacles, not the distances).

This algorithm follows almost perfectly your outlined steps. In particular it draws a line to the destination, and if it encounters an obstacle it "walks" paths (generates successors for A*) along the exterior of an obstacle until it can "See" (draw a straight line to) the destination or another obstacle. By using "obstacle free distance to destination" as a heuristic at each node, this will provide optimal paths.

You can, just from the wikipedia page, deduce a good response to the problem of "select the optimal point for bypassing the obstacle". (Maybe try the vertices of the convex hull / AABB - and don't worry, it may take a few iterations to truly wrap around an obstacle)

This will perform much, much better on sparse environments than a grid, because a grid has to iterate O(n) for n grid cells, while a visibility graph has to iterate O(n) for n obstacles (of a given complexity).

Very nice!

But we don't, though. Or rather, there's broad consensus over most of it, but there's plenty of disagreement over where exactly the dividing line is.
This runs SteamOS. That ships with the necessary controller translation layer you're describing.
So you are saying that Nvidia will finally force USA to the 220V standard? :)
I remember that was the best I can get and I was thrilled for it at the time. But then I was even more thrilled when Far Cry came out. Then Crysis ... why would I go back? Now you surely can argue, that nowdays the creativity got lower in favour of just more textures, but I like to have both.

Still, for a simple game limiting to 800x600 for performance and dev reasons - why not? But for me it means I see no use case for myself.

I feel like this massive caveat was buried half way through the article. This is why I dislike university press. I mean, the wizardry is impressive, but it isn't gonna revolutionize anything anytime soon if it requires a vacuum and liquid Krypton-ish temperatures.

Because of the war, speaking Russian has become political. Many Ukrainians who spoke Russian as their first language now refuse to ever speak it, at least publicly.

It is an odd request though considering Zelenskyy speaks very good English and Lex normally does all his podcasts in English.
> And moving those metrics and OKRs doesn't get you more money.

Because you are already being paid to move those metrics and OKRs. Not doing so means you're not actually doing your job and, in a well managed company (which are admittedly few and far between), will be rightfully fired and replaced by someone who does.

I’m not entirely sure why you’re discrediting the advancement of realism. I’m very sorry, but I have a hard to believe that when you scroll through IG and see something like this — https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1hvdhie/this_girl_... , you’ll think it’s AI instantly. Unless, again, you’re consciously examining whether every single piece of media is AI generated or not.

Step 4 is going to be tough. How do you handle concave obstacles?

The article mentions wolves and rabbits, what if a rabbit is in a cave. That is to say the obstacle you need to waypoint around is in fact something you need to go inside of. The wrong waypoints to navigate around the obstacle becomes circle the obstacle indefinitely.

I would probably go with a hierarchical A* that way you can get the high level path quickly and do the local fine grain pathfinding in small chunks as you go.
d'oh. Thank you, You're right. Edited to reflect what I was trying to say.
I went from 970 to 3070 and it now draws less power on average. I can even lower the max power to 50% and not notice a difference for most games that I play.

Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't much explain what the contents are like. Would be great to get an laymen-readable summary of this from an LLM.
Wasn't 2006 just off the heels of the dot com bubble?
The 3090 + 5900x is a mistake. The 5900x is 2 x 5600x CPUs. So therefore, when the games asks for 8 cores, it will get 6 good cores and 2 very slow cores across the infinity switching fabric. What's more, NVidia GPUs take MUCH MORE CPU than AMD GPUs. You should either buy an AMD GPU or upgrade/downgrade to ANYTHING OTHER THAN 5900x with 8+ cores (5800x, 5800, 5700, 5700x3d, 5950x, 5900xt, anything really ...)

Are we seeing the same progress? GPT-4 was released in March 2023, that's almost two years. Tools are much better but where is the vast improvement?
I can see that, but I think calling it just nostalgia-driven is judging a book by its cover.

First off, I want to say you can totally have a design ethos that covers game engines as much as irrigation systems -- Lee Felsenstein explicitly cited Ivan Illich's notion of 'convivial technology' as an influence on his modems. And Illich mostly talked about bicycles.

What I see in this project is a specific kind of appropriate technology -- 'toaster compatibility' -- mixed with conscious adoption of old methods and aesthetics to serve and signal that end. Which is cool, IMO.

HTMX uses similar techniques in trying to 'bring back' hypermedia and reduce dependencies, although I think they're after a different kind of simplicity. And of course, their Hypermedia Systems book makes similar nods to 90s-software aesthetics: https://hypermedia.systems/
"Being a good person" has been a theme in my entire adult life. I'm a member of an organization that stresses personal improvement (amongst other things).

"Being a good person" can vary, by culture and context.

For example, some cultures prescribe brusqueness, and direct communication, while other cultures want us to always "beat around the bush," before coming to the point. Think New York City, versus Richmond, Virginia.

These are just communication styles, but they can be interpreted as attacking, or dishonesty. In either case, it's entirely possible for someone to label the other as "not-nice," when the opposite may actually be the case.

I have found that fundamental Empathy, and reducing my own self-centeredness helps. Accepting others, and always looking for the good, before the bad, has helped me.

And, as has been pointed out, the older I get, the less simple my relationships are, with others.
I haven’t had great luck with the wizard as a counter point. The token generation is unbearably slow. I might have been using too large of a context window, though. It’s an interesting model for sure. I remember the output being decent. I think it’s already surpassed by other models like Qwen.

Google Assistant is sad.

When I ask it to read me the last text message from Person X, it says that this feature is no longer available.

When I switch the Assistant to Gemini, and ask it to read me the last text message from Person X, it says it doesn't have access to my text messages. When pressed for an explanation, it gives me a long winded excuse that having access to my text messages would be a serious privacy violation. Absolute nonsense.
I am not being racist. I am demonstrating that our values are not "objectively correct".

Maybe someday a society that celebrates diversity in physical attributes will have preferred professions for those from races recognized to run faster, or jump higher, or father, or swim, even for individuals that do not particularly excel. And they might think us barbarians for ignoring all this beautiful diversity in human form and ability.
Doesn’t the second sentence explain the first? I can’t tell the number of times I’ve heard a variation of, “I hate Facebook [newsfeed]. I only use it for Messenger/ niche Groups/ local events/ Marketplace.”

Facebook has positioned itself so that it’s almost a necessity if you want to be involved in your community, however you define it. You may hate Zuck, moderation, and ‘the algo’ and yet you can’t get away from Meta the company. And millions of other users feel the same way.

Really, these are the only 2 situations where ray tracing makes much of a difference. We already have simulated shadowing in many games and it works pretty well, actually.
There's nothing wrong with emulators. I can get a 1998-era MacOS emulator today that runs in a web browser at 10x the speed of my 1998-era Mac! [1] Why would I ever need that kind of legacy support built into my modern OS kernel when I can just download a full hypervisor and stick the entire 1998-era operating system inside of it? (I wouldn't be upset if Windows included a built-in emulator for Windows 95/98 applications.)

But emulators are self-contained things. The question is not "should Microsoft support Windows 98 software in a dedicated emulator." The question is whether it's worth the architectural cost of supporting 1998-era software running in your native OS without emulation. I think there's a huge cost to that and I've worked with software developers and Microsoft OS engineers who have long stories about how hard it's been to improve Windows over the past ~30 years, because any major kernel changes would inevitably break some piece of legacy software, and that ruled them all out.

Now obviously things aren't that simple. If all we needed to do was run ~1998 code in 2025, we would of course do it in an emulator. But Windows chose continuity, i.e., they wanted to run 1998-era code in 2000, 2002, 2005 etc. when emulating the whole OS wouldn't have been a good tradeoff at all. It's that continuity that locked them into a straightjacket. My view is that Microsoft's strategy may have served them well in the past, but that tradeoff is no longer worth it.

Most of the things people like about NYC were either:

1) Built at least 100 years ago. De-facto relics of a government and society that no longer exists.

2) Things built by the people in spite, not because, of its public policy and government.

If anything, what interests me about NYC is “why isn’t worse?”. There is something amazing about NYC: how a city and civilization can be so successful in the face of government incompetence and public policy failures at every level.

You're referring to the "Convex Hull". And if you are inside a shape, drawing edges to the visibile vertices of the shape (until you're on the boundary of the convex hull) will easily get you a path out, and, bonus, will eventually draw a perfect shortest path to the end.

See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42608107#42626311
What is specified is the actual departure time of the train. Before that it has to be decided to start closing the doors, the doors must be closing, the secure closure must be determined by the train leader and the train leader has to order the train driver to start driving. How long that takes depends on the train. For short-distance trains it's ~15seconds for long-distance ~1minute.
The market is betting the best model wins to some extent and anthropic is not slowing down.
I think the paragraph after is really interesting:

“Also when creating things with nodes, you have to go back and forth between node GUI and code.”

You can see Godot’s Node/GDScript setup as a bit of a response to this argument. Or, they try to make the “going back and forth” as seamless and integrated possible with things like the $ operator and autocomplete.

That said, I do think at the end of day, the “thing is a thing” mindset ultimately prevails, as you have to ship a game.

No in the midwest they actually police for traffic. The cops will have the highway DOT actually pave little asphault pads when they resurface where they like to sit and take radar. They will get you for out of date registration. They will get you for traffic violations and they do actually send out police to monitor intersections for bad behavior when its bad.

They just don't do anything like that in socal. I've not once seen a cop take radar in socal. Not once. I can't even remember the last time I've seen someone pulled over in socal but it happens probably three times in my view whenever I go elsewhere to visit.
