I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned yet, but it seems pretty similar in concept to codespeak https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47350931 Though catching back up on that project- it seems it's evolved pretty

I added a basic roguelike loop to codenames and made it a 2 player co-op game. The "AI" (if you can call it that... I don't think it qualifies for the "I" part) is based on word embeddings. All logic runs on the fro

Link to the slides (almost missed it when i was reading): https://farzon.org/files/presentations/Thotcon_talk_may_2025... Which provides way more information than the article

I honestly thought this was one of the weaker points of the article. The OpenAI deal almost certainly related purely to GPU capacity, which had little to do with the article. The layoffs would have happened regardless. IMO - churn, and gene

JS was never really obfuscated - it wasn't the goal of minification. Minifiers especially struggle with ES6 classes/etc, outputting code that is almost human readable. Proper obfuscation libraries exist, typically at the cost of a

I can see cases like the recently mentioned pg_textsearch ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47589856 ) being perfect cases for this kind of development style succeeding - where you have the clear test cases, benchmarks,

Impressive. The planes should probably scale up a bit as you zoom though, they become impossible to spot. I'm surprised all the flights in the world can be represented in a <500KB api call

> Holding Cox liable merely for failing to terminate Internet service to infringing accounts Imagine giving the power to rightsholders to terminate anyone's internet service with e.g, a DMCA takedown. I'm sure that won't b

Pretty great demo! It'd be great to see a 128/192 comparison. I had Tidal many years back, and from the Lossless v Regular I only ever noticed a difference when it came to breathy sounds/etc. I did see that Tidal would burn t

> Bombadil itself decides what is an interesting event and when to capture state. It would be very nice to have a little more details on how this works. Though I guess we can figure it out via code/trialing it out. I'll give it

The training methods are largely published in their open research papers - though arguably some open weight companies are less open with the exact details. Realistically a model will never be "compiled" 1:1. Copyrighted data is al

Ah yeah I just found it too! I'm a couple days OOTL! For this one - it's tough. It definitely started a conversation. The 'cc' part of the name is sus, but on the internet, its impossible to verify the truth of any post.

Do you have links to examples? I normally lurk HN, but I can't say I've seen much of this popup to the front page at least. I'd say the bigger problem would be AI posters/commentors, though I've not seen as much of

It's such a great video that I am surprised its government produced. Unfortunately this is the way the world seems to be going... Every SaaS, startup is subscription based, filled with ads, etc... But at the same time with the cost of
