Watermelon pieces are made mostly of water, but are solid as a whole, not liquid. You can't pour them. And if you actually blend them into a liquid, then you get watermelon juice or soup. (Soup vs beverage is a distinction based on the

Salads are dishes without a fixed structure. You can randomly rearrange the ingredients without changing it into another dish. For example, a pizza is salad on top of dough, a burger is salad between buns, and a burrito is salad wrapped in

The main page says "no limits" everywhere but once you schedule a meeting it mentions speed "500+ tk/s". Is that per user or per $10k team account?

Isn't this actually improving safety by openly admitting how things always were in practice? Any e2e encryption provided by the same entity who fully controls both the blackbox clients, and the server in between, is just a security the

If I wanted to make ad blocking hard, I'd first keep serving an easily blockable ad system while getting everyone used to extension API which only can block such simple systems. Only once it is fully adopted, I could switch to hard to

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but after reading it sounds to me not like "io_uring is faster than mmap" but "raid0 with 8 SSDs has more throughput than 3 channel DRAM".

It's even weirder than that: mention of the shell GUI is just the intro, later they proceed with implementing a facsimile of the Windows NT kernel in... TypeScript. Even for purely self-educational purposes, this pairing seems to be ve

@viraptor above mentions that they actually do try first with an explicit perplexity-agent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44797682 . So there's no ambiguity. The worst they could accuse Cloudflare, is that they

I can totally see your point. It's a bit like that fight of news agencies against the free snippets and aggregations on 3rd party websites. The Internet is supposed to be open after all. But it also feels like essentially "piratin

Cloudflare did explain a proper solution: "Separate bots for separate activities". E.g. here: one bot for scraping/indexing, and one for non-persistent user-driven retrieval. Website owners have a right to block both if they

The post title is misleading. The algorithm did not leak, only the documentation listing all the signals that can possibly be used as inputs for that algorithm. It doesn't reveal which ones are actually used and how.

The magic lies in tessellation. Tessellation is an efficient GPU process of heavily subdividing your mesh, so that displacement maps can add visible geometric details afterwards. And because it's dynamic you can selectively apply it on

No, at least not in the "automatic" way the Nvidia RTX Remix does. You would not only need to generate the displacement maps for textures, but the most importantly port the game to this new rendering engine. It's an extremely
