Interesting. Are people collecting these concrete numbers somewhere on the web?
Tepix··on The Browser's Main Thread Is Expensive
Sure, but there are sites like HN and there are sites like https://earth.nullschool.net/

What's your point? Are you saying all animations and rendering are unnecessary?

Tepix··on The Browser's Main Thread Is Expensive
Nice examples, a bit repetetive perhaps.

One thing that I found quite interesting to see is how the behaviour of the "4.000 particles" demo changes between the 5ms rendering and the "everything now" rendering.

Tepix··on A Small Telescope That Surprised Me
> At a few hundred euros, I am no longer asking whether a smart telescope can replace a serious visual telescope

Well, I bought a used 8 inch (203mm) telescope for 500€ a few years ago. Used telescopes can be very cheap.

Are you comparing their subscription to yours? How do you know how many tokens you're getting for your subscription or for theirs?

I believe the answer is: You don't.

Tepix··on Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development
Congratulations! That price point is really tempting. I look forward to reading more about this robot.
Tepix··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
DeepSeek V4 Pro cache read pricing is $0.022 (offpeak) and

DeepSeek V4 Flash cache read pricing is $0.007

Makes it super affordable!

Tepix··on GPU World
OK, here are a few industries: Food. Construction. Power. Logistics.
Tepix··on Bug Blindness
> The browser's defaults are also bad.

What's bad about them? There is a sensible default and users (in particular those with poor eyesight) will adjust them to their needs.

Ignoring this default is presumptuous.

The designers' job is good usability. Limiting line length is important, humans cannot deal well with extremely long lines of text. This is not a matter of taste.
Tepix··on Show HN: 18 Words, Zanagrams and Sunflowers Are Now PZL Games
Over at plzgames.com when playing sunflowers

- I can no longer go back a step in „test“ mode, only discard

- I can only play the daily levels (and daily master levels)

Bummer!

Tepix··on Show HN: 18 Words, Zanagrams and Sunflowers Are Now PZL Games
The feedback form on the fabulous sunflowersgame is broken. Please fix it.

Bug report for sunflowers:

Off by one bug: the time on the results page is often 1 second more than the elapsed time shown in-game

I think your knowledge of CSS might be outdated. What's wrong with the following CSS snippet for example?

    body {
      max-width: 70ch; /* Limits the text column to a comfortable reading width */
      margin: 0 auto;  /* Centers the text column on large screens */
      padding: 1.5rem; /* Prevents text from touching the edges on small/mobile screens */
      line-height: 1.6; /* Gives the lines room to breathe */
    }

As for font size, you can use

    font-size: 1rem;
to respect the browser's default font size.

Yes! But, you know, percentages...
Tepix··on The turbulent AI era is here
> Companies offering AI will capture just a tiny slice of the value created by AI.

That remains to be seen.

Tepix··on TurboKV: Insanely fast Rust key-value store
Is an atomic get+delete operation planned?
Tepix··on The turbulent AI era is here
> But it's impossible to measure how does a company or a person benefit from AI.

I think he was proposing taxing the companies offering AI.

The robots aren't far behind.

Tepix··on Xcancel and Nitter have been taken down
Some AI bros refuse to leave
Tepix··on I gave Qwen 3.8 27B a reverse-engineering job and it finished in 30 minutes
You can let a subagent that doesn't have access to your data do the internet access.
Tepix··on GLM-5.3-Flash
GLM 5.3 Flash: 320B parameters with 18B activated

Qwen 3.8 Next Flash: 125B + 51B = 176B parameters with 6B activated

DeepSeek V4 Flash: 284B with 13B activated

The new Qwen model is the most promising for one or two Strix Halo 128GB with the low number of active parameters. On paper it's much stronger than Qwen 3.8 27B.

Tepix··on GLM-5.3-Flash
They only went up from 3000€ to 4000€ which isn't a lot.

For comparison the cheapest Strix Halo 128GB went from 1600€ to 2600€ in the same timeframe.

Tepix··on Anthropic's ‘watermark’ text adulteration in Claude is a perversion of writing
They were thorough. It‘s in their 6/2000 magazine.
Tepix··on Quantum battery upends the rules of charging
Seen on German deal sites for Marstek B2500D.
Tepix··on Queryable Executables
Neat stuff. I’m sold!

Could the webserver receive a code segment from the web and add it to itself (like a plugin upload)?

Tepix··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
Exactly. It‘s isn‘t just possible, we know it‘s happening.
Tepix··on Quantum battery upends the rules of charging
I don't know about you, but I can now buy a safe, cheap battery for my solar installation, less than 250€ for 2kWh.

Somehow, some of the breakthroughs talked about in those countless breathless articles over the last decade must indeed have arrived eventually. And with sodium ion etc. this impressive development will continue.

PS: This article in particular seemed to be very early research.

Tepix··on Credit Card Rewards Became a $9.2B Wealth Transfer
Credit card owners benefit. But they also pay: With their data.
