I think it’s similar to the reasoning behind HN stripping numbers from clickbait headlines. Numbers feel salient even when they represent nothing at all, because numbers are used universally in every field of human study and endeavor. Unlik

I've been experimenting with a Remarkable Paper Pro. Additive inking works pretty well. As long as I am adding black ink to the page, everything is responsive. But if I want to push other updates asynchronously, or (god forbid) erase s

Very glad to see this, I've been dreaming about spatial representations for code for a long time.

Even though it's quantized-to-hell Mixture of Experts, honestly, it's crazy this model can run semi-coherently on an phone.

Wall mount? I'll pray for an e-Ink model.

With batched parallel requests this scales down further. Even a MacBook M3 on battery power can do inference quickly and efficiently. Large scale training is the power hog.

I was daydreaming of a special LLM setup wherein each token of the vocabulary appears twice. Half the token IDs are reserved for trusted, indisputable sentences (coloured red in the UI), and the other half of the IDs are untrusted. Effectiv

Yeah, myself and several friends of mine with EOL Windows 10 PCs are looking to jump ship.

This stuff is a dream of mine, editors in different modes that can collaborate seamlessly. Keep up the good work!

I think we need a spatial/physics model handling movement and tactics watched over by a high level strategy model (maybe an LLM).

Compared to google translate of yore, it’s gotten way more fluent thanks to transformers. Good translation relies heavily on context of course. Voice recognition and text to speech quality have increased dramatically. And near real-time (or

What’s wild to me is that we have basically manifested the Babel Fish in the last few years.

Meanwhile Switzerland is implementing e-ID which gives citizens private and public keys so they can sign and prove things without leaking their whole identity.

Sometimes a problem is a weird combination of hairy/obscure/tedious where I simply don’t have the activation energy to get started. Like, I could do it with a gun to my head. But if someone else were to do it for me I would gratef

Use of server reconciliation makes me think client-side reconciliation would be tricky… how do you preserve smooth editor UX while applying server updates as they arrive? For example, if your client-sent request to insert a character fails,

DLSS artifacts are pretty obvious to me. Modern games relying on temporal anti aliasing and raytracing tend to be blurry and flickery. I prefer last-gen games at this point, and would love a revival of “brute force” rasterization.

Dang, I implemented SDFs in 2023 around that time with jump flooding. Wish I had seen this version. Thanks for pointing it out!

Lua as a language is pretty warty, with some obvious omissions. But it’s widespread as an embedded language, and has been around a long time, and I think that tends to give it a nostalgic halo effect. I would like to see more minimalist scr
