I use a rechargeable card for subscriptions - just let it go to zero.

It's only a matter of time before parametric approaches (think LaTex for CAD, ie: via a descriptor language) enable LLMs to start 3D modeling.
DrNosferatu··on 2025 Turing award given for quantum information science
I would say optical computing will be practical well before QC is.

Time will tell.

DrNosferatu··on 2025 Turing award given for quantum information science
The math might be beautiful, but I'm very skeptical - practical - quantum computers will ever deliver their promise.
DrNosferatu··on The IRIX 6.5.7M (sgi) source code
Then soon there will be a port for the N64!
DrNosferatu··on Sony Data Discman
The killer app for the Data Discman would have been early (early 90s) use as a storage medium for digital cameras.

Huge lost opportunity for Sony.

DrNosferatu··on Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland
The EU must leave NATO and start its own Military Alliance - without the US.

This time the alliance mandate, instead of fighting Communism, should be enforcing ICC rulings.

DrNosferatu··on Show HN: Z80-μLM, a 'Conversational AI' That Fits in 40KB
Awesome! Anyone for a port to the MSX?

A web version would also be cool.

Prototype in Matlab, production in C.

What about SciLab?
DrNosferatu··on Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
Very good!

But I expected a humorous touch in stating that fusion is still 10 years away…

DrNosferatu··on The unexpected effectiveness of one-shot decompilation with Claude
But, for example, isn't Cannonball (SEGA Outrun source port) open source?

DrNosferatu··on The unexpected effectiveness of one-shot decompilation with Claude
More than an overview, a step by step tutorial on this would be awesome!
DrNosferatu··on The unexpected effectiveness of one-shot decompilation with Claude
This day will arrive.

And it will be great for retro game preservation.

Having more integrated tools and tutorials on this would be awesome.

DrNosferatu··on Load ZX Spectrum – first Museum dedicated to our first personal computer
I visited - really nice!

They also have a Philips VG8020 MSX on display.

DrNosferatu··on “Captain Gains” on Capitol Hill
Isn't there a fund indexed to their portfolios?
DrNosferatu··on Vsora Jotunn-8 5nm European inference chip
The proof is in the pudding!

I want to believe: let's see that software stack working effectively.

DrNosferatu··on I've wanted to play that 'Killer Shark' arcade game briefly seen in 'Jaws'
We need a MAME for electromechanical arcade games!
DrNosferatu··on Gemini 3
Anyone has any idea if/when it’s coming to paid Perplexity?
DrNosferatu··on Open-source Zig book
If AI is used by “fire and forget”, sure - there’s a good chance of slop.

But if you carefully review and iterate the contributions of your writers - human or otherwise - you get a quality outcome.

DrNosferatu··on Open-source Zig book
Humans get things wrong too.

Quality prose usually only becomes that after many reviews.

DrNosferatu··on Kimi K2 Thinking, a SOTA open-source trillion-parameter reasoning model
Note the EU-Moonshot project is based on own silicon / compute sovereignty.

GPT4 parity on a own silicon trained indigenous model is just an early goal.

Indeed, the ultimate goal is EU LLM supremacy - which means under democratic control.

DrNosferatu··on Introducing architecture variants
Maybe Jart's APE could "host" the multiple flavors of the executable:

Europe should act and make its own, literal, Moonshot:
