I guess if the “players” are sociopathic enough they might decide to just wipe out the NPCs. The possibility of someone like Putin or Musk becoming the sole member of the post-singularity humanity does make me pause.

>The fact that it doesn't take advantage of the multi-window nature of desktop systems.

That's because nobody uses more than one window. Remember, Discord was for gamers, not the tech zealot with a taskbar full of windows. Speaking from experience, I've had extremely low success trying to get normal people to understand windows. So a one-window-contains-all design is great for normal people. This design is also shared by Skype, LINE, and other mainstream chat software. Modern email clients also follow this design paradigm.

And if you still doubt me, remember: The two most popular operating systems in the world, iOS and Android, do not have windows.

Windows are a failed analogy as files-and-folders, normal people do not understand them and software for normal people rightfully don't use them.

Show HN: I build a site for hackers struggling with marketing
Yes, I know, yet another directory. But I built DigitalMarketings.io with a specific purpose: to curate all the digital marketing tools and SaaS products available on the market. I wanted a single place to go when I was looking for inspiration, or when I needed to find the right tool for a specific task.

I built this site for myself, but also for other developers who have built amazing products but are struggling to find customers. Marketing can be tough, especially for hackers who are more comfortable with code than with campaigns.

DigitalMarketings.io covers a wide range of digital marketing areas, from content and affiliate marketing to email, social media, influencer marketing, SEO, SEM, and advertising. But through my own experience, I've found that search engine traffic (SEO and SEM) is the most valuable. I've also learned that working with a lot of smaller influencers can be more effective than partnering with one big name.

I'm still working on the site, and I'm always looking for new tools and strategies to add. If you have a product you'd like to submit, or if you have any digital marketing tips or tools that you think are worth sharing, please let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts and learn from your experiences.

Netflix is superior to Disney+ in this regard (at least on my TV).

And on my TV Netflix manages sub-second (at least sometimes). IDK how. Maybe they somehow give me the DRM keys ahead of time? Maybe everything in the "continue watching" is pre-approved? Maybe the first couple of seconds are handled differently, maybe they are not DRM protected? Maybe the netflix intro logo thingy is cached locally, and then stuff happends in the background? It is after all more pleasant to hear the intro sound that watch a spinning loading-thingy. Maybe as I move the selection across stuff they pre-emptively fetch the first seconds? In some cases it also seems to start auto-playing in the background, so the only thing that happends when I press a selection is that the GUI overlay dissapears.

I know that people here on HN love to dump on LinkedIn. That said, for some industries, it is the primary way to connect with headhunters and future employers. For me, I don't use any of the social aspect. I only post my CV details and wait for headhunters to contact me directly. It works well.

Agreed.

I've found, in my own life, that when I'm hyper focused on optimizing things for cost I often get far less "out" of things. I end up not eating my whole dinner because I don't like it. But if I let go a bit, things are actually in aggregate more financially efficient when I'm getting more of what I pay for, if that makes sense.

It only works for people who are built this way though. Not hedonists.
im pickle REEE
Because YouTube has found a way to monetize the work of it's content creators. Online influencers are incentivized to make videos to get paid and YouTube has reduced their costs enough to make it worthwhile.

In addition to that, whenever users are just starting out, their videos still get ad rolls but the creator doesn't get any money. That's millions of new videos every day that Youtube can monetize until those creators are eligible to collect the checks for themself (if ever).

Also, YouTube does aggressive caching of very old videos that have very few views. You might need to wait 10 seconds for YT to fetch the video from cold storage before watching, but in the grand scheme of things, it's worth it to them.
Yes but more importantly it's a definition that allows those who wield it to feel as though they are on the right hand side of the 'bell curve meme'.

DeepSeek's Long-Term Effect
Unlike other sensational tech news, I believe DeepSeek has shifted mindsets in the mainstream and will have a long-lasting effect on the broader industry. Below is my 7-point summary:

1/ "Training AI models can be cheap"
Details aside, the idea that training AI models doesn't have to be that expensive has hit the mainstream. Raising huge funding for training large models will become much more difficult.

2/ More scrutiny of large LLM vendors' energy spend
Environmental footprint of Generative AI models has been a topic of discussions for some time now. The news of an unknown startup demonstrating that great results can be achieved an order of magnitude cheaper can only enliven them.

3/ More scrutiny of national initiatives to train large models
The need for huge investments into national / non-commercial initiatives will be put into question.

4/ "Open source is on the right side of history"
DeepSeek's success might, in the eyes of many, be the final blow to closed-source as the preferred AI strategy. Sam Altman himself stated that regarding Open Source they might have been "on the wrong side of history" (https://www.vice.com/en/article/openai-ceo-sam-altman-says-theyve-been-on-the-wrong-side-of-history/).

5/ Push towards revenue-generating applications
More difficulty in seeking funding will put pressure on big AI apps to move to revenue-generating use cases like e-commerce, just-in-time research or government contracts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkCDVn3_wiw, https://www.perplexity.ai/shopping, https://openai.com/global-affairs/introducing-chatgpt-gov/).

6/ More fragmentation in the AI market
AI app market leaders will struggle to keep up the pace of technological advancements and launching new features. That opens up room for new players to launch specialized solutions and chip away at the ChatGPT consumer market. It has already been marked by Perplexity's entrance, more up-and-comers will follow.

7/ Leading models' knowledge cutoff becomes a real problem
Competition is pushing AI apps to constantly launch new features and there is less focus on solving fundamental problems like the knowledge cutoff. For use cases such as e-commerce or just-in-time research being trained on data up until October, 2023 is a big issue. Broad availability of the web search feature is supposed to be the solution but it is silently ignores the original reason why we loved AI chat apps in the first place - their breadth of knowledge and understanding. To use top web search results as the sole basis for AI app's answers deprives the user of that depth and feels like we're back to using Google search.

Vendors who block iCloud Relay are the worst. I'm sure they don't even know they're doing it. But some significant percentage of Apple users -- and you'd have to think it's only gonna grow -- comes from those IP address ranges.

One thing is to realize that we as humans have a thinking steps (internal monologue) before we output the texts. When LLMs produce text, we expect this thinking process to happen as well, but it does not - they are 'idiots that babble the first thing that comes to their minds'.

The above 'hack' is one of many realizations of the above differences.
Hi again, Looking on the date for that, we don't have data about that case simply because of data protection laws that require us to delete data after a certain time. Does the abuse still exist? If so, perhaps you can create a new ticket (and include the old abuse ID from 2011 so that they understand you tried to report this in the past. You can also include a link to this thread in hackernews and mention my name.) When you submit your abuse report, you will receive an automated response with a new abuse ID. You do not need to be a customer to submit an abuse report with us. https://abuse.hetzner.com/en?lang=en Unfortunately, I cannot submit an abuse report on your behalf. --Katie
> Windows are a failed analogy as files-and-folders, normal people do not understand them and software for normal people rightfully don't use them

Weird claim regarding files and folders. In my experience, my pretty tech illiterate relatives have a pretty strong grasp for them. Younger people do not, because they only use mobile computers that don't make frequent use of that abstraction.

Why are they a failed analogy? What are normal people doing instead of using them?

> do I understand correctly that fried eggs are less good?

Only if you overheat the oil or use something heavily processed. Eggs gently fried in olive or avocado oil; butter; cream; or even a good lard are fine in that we don't have strong evidence one way or another. (Of course, assuming you're healthy.)
I'm not sure why you're comparing the gross margin of a car company to an internet company. General Motors has a gross margin of 10%. Ford's is 7%. Historically Tesla's was ~25%, but yeah it's fallen a bit since I last looked.
I think that even (most) conservatives don't want their car to be a political statement.
I’m still sad that Gajim (XMPP client) switched to this horrible design from their old one. There’s now no XMPP/Jabber client left on Windows that’s not optimized for MUC, only some like PSI/Miranda that lack support for some important XEPs.

Last time I checked porn was legal in the US. Who made Apple the arbitrator of what we can and can not do?

Yes, I know, private cooperation can decide what they want to do but once you get to a point of monopoly these rules should change.

You see this often with Apple TV+ shows. Some episodes are only 40~ minutes while the very next one might be 70. They can scope the episode to only include the content that is required for that story and extend the runtime when they need to include extra details or scenes to make everything flow nicely.

For most viewers, the discretion is worthwhile for better storytelling.
The weight of the average car is steadily increasing though. SUVs, electrics, giant trucks, etc.
Temperature changes the distribution that is sampled, not if a distribution is sampled.

Temperature changes the softmax equation[1], not weather or not you are sampling from the softmax result or choosing the highest probability. IBM's documentation corroborates this, saying you need to set do_sample to True in order for the temperature to have any effect, e.g., T changes how we sample, not if we sample [2].

A similar discussion on openai forum also claim that the RNG might be in a different state from run to run, although I am less sure about that [3]

If they want to follow the usual play book, the next steps would be:

- wait for the mass protests, use them as an excuse to strengthen the police and/or roll out the nazi boys to attack opposition

- create a fake terrorist attack to justify full blown police state

- flood the media with conspiracies and lies so that no one can tel the truth anymore

- create and fund a controlled opposition

Some of these worked for Hitler, others for Putin. I hope it doesn't go to this in the US, but the pace of things suggests otherwise.
Really nice work and great post.

Just to add, if you want smooth anti-aliased edges without the second super-sampling pass, you can use standard derivatives in your SDFs. Basically, replacing your step functions with 'aastep', e.g.

Because the player is only the first step.

Codes – A New Framework for Structured Intelligence and Emergent Systems
CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) is a framework for structured intelligence, physics, and AI.

Key claims:
1. It resolves contradictions between general relativity & quantum mechanics via structured resonance.
2. It provides a mathematical explanation for intelligence as a self-organizing system.
3. It has empirical results across AI, prime numbers, cosmology, and bio-complexity.

The core insight? Structured resonance eliminates stochastic assumptions in physics & intelligence models.
Why post here? I want the smartest people in physics, AI, and math to tear it apart.

Win 7 felt like that sweet balance between modernity and functionality, especially before Microsoft started backporting the "telemetry" and other "features" from Win10 to Win7. Everything since then seems to serve little purpose other than revenue generation driven solely by forced obsolescence.

The average age of everyone in the room at Mission Control during Apollo 11 was 28. The managers in the room were outliers (e.g. Gene Kranz was 36), which drew the average up. The median age was younger.

The Manhattan Project was made possible by similarly young grad students.

You can be as crusty as you like, but the reality is that young smart people can be extraordinarily effective under the right conditions.
Will have to look at kea and corerad. What hardware do you use for the wireless links? Intel has been very hit or miss in my experience. And the misses suuuck, like after enough hosts connect, you get kernel panic on every new client connection, or all but the one device I needed a separate wlan for are compatible with the host. So, NixOS on a router that doesn’t have to be a wifi ap is extremely nice in my experience.
