There were some comments talking about this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45002977 I'll just reproduce FatalLogic's last comment here: """ In the class action case[0], which was allowed to go forward…
AFAICT SKG doesn't really make a distinction between games bought with a one-time purchase and games that are subscribed to. In their FAQ, they explicitly say it would apply to MMOs too (see…
I've spent a little time in this space, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to write shaders in Rust, although it's probably better than GLSL or WGSL. Let me start with the pros: 1. Don't have to learn 2 different…
If you programmed this as a chess strategy, it would probably result in an engine that played the Scholar's mate every game. This is actually close to what low Elo players do in chess, but as you get closer to 800-ish…
When I first saw this I thought this was an AMD-only tool, I'm just now realizing that it works on NVIDIA too.
I was writing up a large comment with sources to rebut the claims, but I think I'll wait to finish it until I can save it as a blogpost and reply with it every time I see this type of argument being made. Basically, the…
Suppose you were 60 years old with 3 kids who live out of the house. You like to go golfing on the weekends, and have no intentions of ever going pro. This weekend, you get to the golf course to see a series of robots…
Just some napkin math: (Suppose, as it hasn't been tested that the) SpaceX Starship can carry up to 100 tons of material to LEO. It costs 100 million USD per launch. (11,000 tons / 100 tons) * 100 million USD = 11…
The Lumatone is a high quality isomorphic keyboard. There's software to control the layouts, and you can use layouts other people have created: https://en.xen.wiki/w/Category:Lumatone_mappings . I'll warn you though…
I tried implementing this logic in java with a try-catch style: try { Validation validation = validate(); try { Value value = update_db(validation); send_email(value); } catch (DBError db) { try { sleep(5); Value value…
There is definitely at least a performance hit in that wgpu (and I think WebGPU too) only supports a single queue. That means you can't asynchronously run compute tasks while running render tasks. Additionally Wgpu (the…
Interesting timing on posting this to HN, I've recently been optimizing my WebGPU LSD radix sort. Today I measured it against the Thrust CUDA version, and it's about 10x slower (15ms to 1.5ms). My goal was to try to get…
I really don't understand why this tweet implied that Lee and Kim are autistic, or that they needed to be "babysit" by a different professor. Seems weirdly hostile for no discernable reason. Regardless, I don't think…
The first time I played Minecraft Classic was really significant to me. I was around 12 years old at the time, and I was in middle school. I remember feeling extremely frustrated at the school system because I was ready…
My bad, you're absolutely right on that. I do want to defend that I'm right in spirit however - Arkane was receiving pressure from Zenimax (it's parent company) from even before the buyout. Microsoft didn't reverse that…
I think the larger problem is that there is a lack of attention to things that don't immediately make sales, and a terminal short-termism due to higher levels of external investment. Consider Redfall, the recent flop…
I've had this thought for a long time that if you have a completely functional code base (as in no side-effects), making the decision between a microservice approach and a monolith approach is fundamentally transparent.…

I think you should do some research on the topic before you conclude that "NATO is out of ammunition". I highly recommend Perun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deK98IeTjfY .
I've been using this extension called "Crackbook Revival" which allows you to set timers upon visiting certain websites, in a certain time range like 9-5. I have it setup on Reddit and Youtube to do a 10 second delay…
I want to emphasize something that other comments seemed to have missed - when a human artist makes a mistake, I have a sense of sadness, or pity. But when an AI makes a mistake, the types of mistakes it makes are…
Yes, this is just the defect detector and not the actual video streaming service.
I doubt that even 1% of people using Reddit are using alts to upvote themselves or downvote brigade others. If you have any data to the contrary I'd be happy to hear it.
Extending the metaphor, a competitor can be good for business depending upon your strategy. If you're a hyena, you benefit from having lions around because the lions can kill a much larger animal than a pack of hyenas…
I was looking at https://css-tricks.com/single-element-loaders-the-spinner/ to see some other ways of doing spinners, but after seeing that I realized that having fancy spinner loaders just frustrates me. It reminds me…
