user432678··on Wiby – Search Engine for the Classic Web
Not hundred percent sure but it looks like pages are checked manually to some extent.
user432678··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
This is really nice, thank you!
user432678··on The Weeds Are Winning
I wonder how soon new Amaranth species would evolve since ML models are not 100% precise and genetic mutations of a leaf shape would carry on eventually mimicking useful crops?
user432678··on The Copenhagen Book: general guideline on implementing auth in web applications
Maybe they were always interested in drama or philosophical studies, CS is not the only interesting topic in this life :)
user432678··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Currently building a very simple migration tool for SQLite with the Stack Overflow forward only approach, mostly for my projects based on Bun: https://github.com/i9or/migralite

Planning to make it single binary to remove the dependency on Bun from target projects.

user432678··on Ask HN: Resources for Learning Graphics Programming
Sorry, no offence, but this is a terrible resource to start learning graphics. First of all good luck downloading those examples (most of the links are broken), then compile them (many examples were made for Visual C++ 6.0 or some niche IDE from 2000s). I loved NeHe around 2005 as well, learned a lot from it, even though later switched to web development and never used that knowledge. But this days better to choose something like https://learnopengl.com at least. Or better yet any resources on WebGL, since OP is a web dev. Concepts around shaders and modern programmable graphics pipeline still translates well compared to immediate mode OpenGL samples from NeHe.
user432678··on Why wordfreq will not be updated
And I thought I had some kind of mental illness collecting all those books, barely reading them. Need to do that more now.
user432678··on We're in the brute force phase of AI – once it ends, demand for GPUs will too
Oh, sorry for my non-US-centric view. And yes, I am nitpicking, sort of.
user432678··on We're in the brute force phase of AI – once it ends, demand for GPUs will too
“Completely autonomous self-driving cars next year”, — every self-driving startup CEO in 2015. As someone said in the comments above, it’s a miserable way of life, but I’m still very pessimistic about this extrapolation.
user432678··on Sqlc: Compile SQL to type-safe code
I have probably misunderstood the documentation, the built-in sql tagged template function seems to be providing static type safety using conditional types magic. But, yeah, maybe I am too optimistic about this. Well, too bad then.
user432678··on Sqlc: Compile SQL to type-safe code
Didn’t use myself, but AFAIK slonik library is doing what you’ve described: https://github.com/gajus/slonik
user432678··on OpenAI shows 'Strawberry' to feds, races to launch it
I guess I am reading HN too much :shrugs:
user432678··on OpenAI shows 'Strawberry' to feds, races to launch it
And remember how a lot of people not even related to the field were predicting ChatGPT 16 by this time a year ago?
user432678··on Diffusion models are real-time game engines
Sorry, no offence, but you sound like those EA execs wearing expensive suits and never played a single video game in their entire life. There’s a great documentary on how Half Life was made. Gabe Newell was interviewed by someone asking “why you did that and this, it’s not realistic”, where he answered “because it’s more fun this way, you want realism — just go outside”.
user432678··on Clojure Desktop UI Framework
Following the author for some time and his main point is that “electron” won already, even despite the fact that the author himself doesn’t like it. And he’s not wrong. Majority of desktop users probably don’t care already if it’s native look or not (don’t cite me on that). The goal of the project to provide a way creating quite performant desktop apps with a DX of Clojure. And it’s a nice goal.
user432678··on Gen AI: too much spend, too little benefit?
— Hey ChatUAV, please bomb enemy’s military base

— Certainly! bombs own civilian hospital

— No, the hell are you doing…

— You are right. I apologise for the oversight.

How do you determine they ignore it? Honeypots?
user432678··on Building an AI game studio: what we've learned so far
I wouldn’t be overly optimistic on what an average player can express as a preference. Besides, as a gamer I want to be surprised and entertained, I don’t want to design rules and game mechanics, iterate over balancing the game and finding consistent art style. Unless you meant like really distant future.
user432678··on Making a 3D modeler in C in a week
This looks amazing and I was surprised it worked really good on mobile too!
user432678··on Making a 3D modeler in C in a week
Do you mind to share your games details? No judging, I promise :) I just need examples from people like me and not AAA studios for motivation sake. I literally was called an idiot for not choosing Unity or Unreal, and was turned down for collaboration with non-tech people just for that. Game dev landscape is crazy these days.
user432678··on Making a 3D modeler in C in a week
Do you mind sharing a link or game name? Despite all the advice out there picking up a game engine, I too am pursuing a goal of making a game from scratch using simple parts of C++ and SFML for now, but was also looking at SDL and Sokol. What was your experience? Are you a solo dev? Was it worth it?
user432678··on Canva has acquired Affinity in an effort to compete with Adobe
I wonder if it will work that long without need for patches/updates with the current pace of deprecations in macOS. Using Affinity Photo myself, wondering if I’d better off switching to Windows at this point.
user432678··on JavaScript Bloat in 2024
To be honest the offline support of Apple Music even though exists, is on par with Spotify. It will bug you about “turn on wifi, you’re offline”, ask you to provide or update payment information, fail at synchronisation time to time with music purchased on iTunes, and overall work unreliably when you just want to listen to some songs you’ve copied from your physical CD’s. Like the whole thing trying hard to push you to use their subscription service.
user432678··on JavaScript Bloat in 2024
Re: Spotify

So much agree here, the offline mode is so beyond being annoying so I even started building my own iOS offline first music app.

user432678··on Deno in 2023
Give them a break, competition is clearly a good thing in this domain. At least drives node.js from stagnation.
user432678··on The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
Sorry, how exactly LLM threatens NYT? Are people supposed to generate news themselves? Or like wait a year or so before NYT articles are consumed by LMMs?
user432678··on If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing
Cool! Then you can fill in crew evaluation journals, file the ship maintenance report, negotiate the rates with the unions.
user432678··on MeshGPT: Generating triangle meshes with decoder-only transformers
Yeah, I’d better buy more wedding cakes in advance.

user432678··on Ilya Sutskever "at the center" of Altman firing?
Yeah, and then they will do what? Type the model learning data by memory? Run stolen python scripts? How exactly this hardware supposed to be used?
user432678··on Ask HN: What is one thing that has improved your energy the most?
