Thanks for the feedback. Fullscreen is offered in the menu when "document.fullscreenEnabled || document.webkitFullscreenEnabled" is true. I've noticed it doesn't show in safari mobile, but you can trigger it by click aA / Hide toolbars. I'll look at the pointer lock, i could easily unlock it once you pause the game with a click, so it wouldn't be too intrusive. For the score, i'm thinking to put the score multiplier there instead, i'll experiment a bit. There's a life counter, in the sense that you start with 0 extra lives, but if you pick the extra life perk, you'll see 1 heart per life next to your score. The game being 100Kb, you can probably guess I'll pass the electron option, but Tauri could be considered. First, I'll just make the web app offline capable. Also, I'm pretty sure that "save page as / Web page, complete" would work on desktop and give you a usable app (YMMV).
I personally dislike Steam (mandatory updates, slow UI, DRM, monopoly, online requirement), and never buy any game there, so it's not a priority to publish there for me, but I might put it there once I have enough interest and price if 4 euros. I'd rather have a good app on the web first, and deal with the various store's rules and painful UIs later, I'm doing this for fun after all.

Um what? Which is to say -- how is Ada more ergonomic, if ergonomic means "relating to or designed for efficiency and comfort in the working environment"? I'm curious about what advantages Ada has there.
Show HN: I Internationalized an AI Chatbot in 10 minutes
Hi HN!

I’m Brian, and I've recently been working on an open-source React and Next.js internationalization library called gt-next, and I thought it’d be cool to show how I internationalized Vercel’s AI Chatbot with it.

Feel free to try it out today! Just `npm i gt-next gt-next-cli` .

Here’s a quick summary:

- I internationalized and shipped a multilingual chatbot in a total of 10 minutes

- I've included a 5 minute video walkthrough of the entire process

- You can check out the complete, internationalized chatbot at: https://example-ai-chatbot-ten.vercel.app/

We also have docs at: https://generaltranslation.com/docs

The source code for the AI Chatbot is here: https://github.com/General-Translation/ai-chatbot

Any feedback or comments are welcome!

In the city i lived in 2012, the (now defunct) local supermarket chain could handle your roasted chicken request. You could also paste an entire grocery list into a text box and have it load the items into your cart all at once. That's the feature i moss the most.

I just tried your snack and appetizers requests with the grocery service i currently use, and it worked fine. No "AI" needed.

Have you tried using pipes/kitchen towel rolls?

As in, try doing something like this:

1. Zoom the images small enough to be almost parallel to your eyes.

2. Make a binocular out of used kitchen rolls.

3. Each side should look at exactly one of the images

It should just work. Both images should converge like they do in a binocular.

(you can then try removing this DIY binocular suddenly and see if you can maintain focus)
Yes, that will come. But you have no chance to reach a decent score with binary like that honestly, it's like playing with mittens on.

I am of the belief that people in zero hour jobs are basically fucked, and that because a large portion of our businesses use zero hour jobs our society in fact has stagnation in poverty systemically built in/designed in.

Star Trek's a cool show. The bible's a cool book. They are guides on how to do better, not reality, not true events. That doesn't change that they can be used to reflect on ourselves/our society to improve them, nor does that condemn us to accept immorality/lower standards as inevitable.
Oh, what I would give for 1-3 times a day. I'm the opposite of people described here, I have days where it can be just about every hour - or much more- and often it's not even diarrhea, which is what people typically imagine (although I do experience that frequently).

It is exasperating dealing with doctors about it. I've had 6 colonoscopies since I was 25, one procedure where they implanted a device in my gut for a month and observed whatever data it was collecting, I've tried food logging, various diets, cutting out things people say you're supposed to cut out - I received an initial diagnosis at the hospital of ulcerative colitis, but, a flareup has never been observed in a colonoscopy. I suspect it's something like that, but, the diagnosis is kind of just "IBS - general." Really frustrating, especially when you hear the same kinds of advice over and over and over that just doesn't work.

It's been so many years that I've just become accustomed to it and it doesn't bother me quite as much as it probably should - I'm constantly aware of where the nearest bathrooms are, because whatever I have going on produces tremendous urgency a lot where I only have 5-10 mins (sometimes much less) to take care of business or bad/embarrassing things will happen.
That's be an option soon :)
If companies get their way, there won't be "career newbies". Students will spend years developing a portfolio for free to prove they can out-efficiency an LLM. Which of course will suppress the industry as Tech is no longer this fast path to riches (the actual wage suppression doesn't help either).
There's also the possibility of trade secrets being involved. An example hypothetical: Maybe Qualcomm has tons of lab data showing signal performance and integrity for any given channel, band, power level, general environment (urban, suburban, rural), device position, device altitude, etc.

You might want to use that data, and algorithms derived from it, to improve your device's battery life. That data obviously cannot be patented, and while the lab data would be copyrighted and not part of the finished product, Qualcomm would understandably be mighty particular about any open-source code implementing the conclusions.
The obvious use-case (to me) is to create an agent that relies on an interpreter with a bunch of pre-loaded state that's already been set up exactly a certain way — where that state would require a lot of initial CPU time (resulting in seconds/minutes of additional time-to-first-response latency), if it was something that had to run as an "on boot" step on each agent invocation.

Compare/contrast: the Smalltalk software distribution model, where rather than shipping a VM + a bunch of code that gets bootstrapped into that VM every time you run it, you ship an application (or more like, a virtual appliance) as a VM with a snapshot process-memory image wherein the VM has already preloaded that code [and its runtime!] and is "fully ready" to execute that code with no further work. (Or maybe — in the case of server software — it's already executing that code!)

> Now how long does it take you?

Rather less time than it takes you, apparently. My process is: pull phone from pocket, swipe down, tap button.

I don't need to unlock it as a discrete step because it did that automatically when it saw my face. I use the built-in smart-home management, so all the controls are available in the system-level control center widget -- which doesn't have any sort of junky updates / ads / welcomes.

It's certainly slower than pressing a physical button if I'm standing next to one. But it's genuinely faster than standing up and walking over to press said button.

Full screen doesn't solve my problem (firefox ubuntu).
This is the sort of thing that would touch a lot of my data so I’d much prefer to have it self hosted but you mention Claude rather than deepseek or mistral so know your audience I guess.
>Not to mention that the physical button tends to be more reliable at doing what it's supposed to.

This is the big problem with "smart" devices. They take an existing reliable solution to a problem (e.g., flicking a switch to turn on a light), sprinkle on some nice-to-have whiz-bang features (e.g., doing it from afar), but compromising the initial reliable solution in the process.

If those extra features were strictly optional and additive, then it wouldn't be a problem. But that's not how it works in practice.

>Let’s say you need to get your oven fixed—Alexa+ will be able to navigate the web, use Thumbtack to discover the relevant service provider, authenticate, arrange the repair, and come back to tell you it’s done—there’s no need to supervise or intervene.

This is a disaster waiting to happen. I don't trust an LLM to choose between two brands of dish soap for me let alone pick a contractor, schedule a repair, and make a payment. Even if there was a demo showing this working in a sterile environment, reality is so complex that something is certain to go wrong. Even the "simple" task of summarizing news had so many catastrophic failures that Apple had to pull it from the market.

Amazon is making bold claims about the capabilities of their voice assistant to sell their subscription service so that they can make the Alexa division profitable, but if any of their claims were real, they would be demoing rather than writing science fiction in a press release.
Good point. In the old times if someone had Eclipse but installed plugins for different language than Java we wouldn't suddenly downgrade Eclipse that it is a text editor.
I think this is an interesting curiosity, but I am a little worn out on every company announcing AI as some kind of major upgrade. Alexa has already been sort of a waning product, and in some ways, it was already kind of cute since you could play goofy games. But cute gets old.

With AI, there is still this massive trust issue. How can I trust that AI is steering me in an actual helpful way? How is Alexa+ integrated with Amazon's core model of selling stuff... lots and lots of stuff?
I think folks said the same thing about Java in the 90s...

Advertising as a concept isn't evil. Marketing methods that are commonly employed these days (especially online) are, though. When marketers stop spying and putting effort into defeating the defenses of people trying to avoid their spying, and when they stop engaging in outright psychological manipulation, then they can start to make an argument that they aren't evil without me laughing.

Those who fail to cross eye/parallel eye these images can try looking at these through a (DIY) binocular (empty pipes/used kitchen roll should work the same).

It will only work with parallel eye images though (at the end of this article).

> In computational terms: ...

Agreed. I do not mean that these facets are completely separable, but that they can be evaluated as their own "thing"/schema/clade/subgens. After all, even though a von Neumann computer needs both memory and computation to function, you can benchmark them separately.

I really wish I had better ontology words. Ontolographs.

Also, I'm doing the book a great disservice by simplifying it so much.

By far my favorite photographer to study and learn from is Ansel Adams. Part of why is not just that I like his photographic works, but that he approached photography in a technical way that was unusual at the time and invested significant effort in documenting and writing about his approaches.

The entire Photography Series is worth reading (but the edited books re-released in the 80s, not the originals), but book 2, "The Negative" that focuses on the Zone System Ansel codified based on prior work by Fred Archer is really crucial reading for a strong technical understanding of how camera exposure works in a scene with a wide dynamic range. This is critical when working with film, especially medium format and large format films, but is also helpful to produce much better images even with modern digital cameras. While things have consistently gotten more forgiving and thus easier for photographers, having a really strong technical understanding of the principles of light and how cameras expose film/sensor is still one of the most useful things you can learn as a photographer, even as an amateur.

Going in a completely different direction, I also think Simon d'Entremont is a photographer worth paying attention to. He's a professional wildlife photographer and Youtuber who has invested a lot of effort into simplifying the techniques and technicalities that come with using digital cameras. He has an understandable approach, a high level of technical competence (e.g. what he says is correct and opinions are clearly stated as opinions). By learning the core technical principles of photography and then adding onto it the specifics of digital photography, it can make any photographer better, both from the perspective of the images they capture and from the perspective of how they get there (e.g. learning a "feel" for exposure settings for a given scene).

Completely separate from the technical aspect, I think Annie Leibovitz might be one of the most important photographers to pay attention to in the last 50 years. She has a deep understanding around the art of storytelling through photography, and ultimately a strong photo is not just one that is exposed perfectly for the scene and captures the full dynamic range and makes the best use of light. It's one that captures something interesting and tells a story about it. Nobody does this better than Annie. Both in her portraiture and her photojournalistic work, she captures subjects in a way that truly emphasizes the meaning behind "a picture is worth a thousand words."

I have no opinions around generative coding, but I consider myself a "good" amateur photographer, and these are three photographers I've studied in depth to try to understand and build my own style and increase my technical competence and the quality of my outcomes. Also, not for nothing, both Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz preferred a Contax rangefinder for much of their work (although Ansel is most famous for his large format work done with a view camera). It's sad Contax doesn't exist anymore, I'd loved to have seen how they would have come into the digital/mirrorless age.

That's one of the things I like about the current implementation of Gemini - they seem to really be leaning in on grounding, and there are ref links for pretty much all of the stuff that I'd normally want to fact check form a chatbot.
Well, eggs just triggered me. I am from the "I will stop eating eggs when there are no chickens anymore" team... And sure, you're definitely right. Learning about and eliminating aspestos, for instance, was probably one of the bigger well known positive counter-example from the previous century. However, I can't think of many great counter-examples when it comes to dietary advice and the science journalism (thanks for the word) attached to it. Maybe you can poke a hole in my confimraton bias?
Software has such huge economies of scale that, for the most part, being useful or cheaper than the alternative surpasses the need to be correct. Only for some categories of software being correct would be a priority or a selling point.
Sure, there's many other ways to type it, but none adds any kind of additional safety or strictness over Record<any, any> which was my point that `any` is the correct type in many cases, except when it widens a type.

But in my case it's not widening anything, in Record<A, B>, B can already be `any`thing.

People tend to see it as an unsafe escape hatch (which is how it is abused), but it's just a set of all possible types.
Oh man, find memories of grandpa saying exactly that about electronic music.
By all measures, current frontier models, the SOTA ones, even the distilled models exhibit some traits that you could say it is actually observation. You can even feel the observation effect because you are co-observing with the machine, and then things change. Precisely, that's observer effect.

Hence, if that is magic switch to reach self-awareness, there you are, "Look Ma, self-awareness without a meat body nor even a brain".
At least this is a topic that the average HN reader is likely to be able to understand and which is closely related to software. Several years ago there was a period where there were periodic posts about things like homotopy type theory and research-level algebraic geometry which inevitably spark only inane misunderstandings and uninformed speculation in the comments. I can only attribute it to some kind of fetish for the frontiers of pure math.

There is none for Taiwan as far as I can tell. They’ve provided aid to Ukraine so it wouldn’t make sense. But there is clear incentive for China to be involved in cable damage, given it is already supporting Russia economically and militarily. China is the biggest adversary for many other nations (the US, Canada, the EU, India, etc) so for them, there is benefit in making this conflict expensive for its adversaries.

Once a grid is connecting time zones, rather than "regions" then the whole peak demand thing, just goes away, add batteries in the gaps, and for remaining peak clipping, and then averages start to become much closer to real world demand.

I agree that's ambigiously worded. For example, I'm not sure if Claude could identify "MT MOON B1F" from the RAM data alone since internally world map areas are only known by IDs, while AI Plays Pokemon did annotate the corresponding area with a human-readable name. https://github.com/PWhiddy/PokemonRedExperiments/blob/master...

Though this RAM data could be in Claude's training data.
