Im not sure you can make a decent business case when the space is crowded with Chinese companies doing the same thing with a fraction of the costs to hire talented staff

Even more amazing! (Raskin left before even the original macintosh he helped lead. He also opposed the use of the mouse)

All of the big Bullfrog games were unique and for some reason never spawned imitators. Populous, Magic Carpet, Theme Park/Hospital, Dungeon Keeper alongside Syndicate

If you believe https://artificialanalysis.ai/ This is basically undercutting KimiK3 and Grok 4.6 where previously utilised gad soke advantages but was a step more expensive

You are absolutely right! Would you like me to respond in a more naturalistic way for hackernews denizens?

Also everything hes saying about China (and other actors) many outside the USA would say about the USA. The solution of a global arms race of state vs state with integrated statist corporations as the best outcome for end users sure is a ch

Surely for most the desire is just an LLM provider that doesnt store or sell their queries (including by national actors). As long as that is allowed to happen surely its the answer for the vast majority.

OpenSCAD uses CSG which is generally better. Easy to convert CSG to BREP. Cant generally do the opposite

Surely its the same hierarchy as before. For most complex things you start with high level to get something running quickly then move towards low level when you bed down the spec and need more safety, error reporting, speed etc.

Yeah its huge demand upswing from the growth of openclaw and similar pushing resources. Very clear from recent changes and announcement around this [0] Fwiw there are worse delays from second tier providers like moonshot's kimik2.5 tha

No surprises many people on YCs site align with Sam Altmans view of the world - right or wrong.

Its a well researched area. My understanding is for most use cases and data like this R trees outperform as bounding box comparisons are fast to run and the bounding boxes tend to be well organised to chunk data efficiently. H3 is a looser

For use cases like this - long term geospatial people still use postgis as foundational - mainly for its speed at scale and spatial indexing. For the wider tech world - I would say postgres suffers from being "old tech" and somewh

Agree with this. They are re-solving a problem that has been solved better by others before (with R-trees). They may well be using some data storage where spatial indexing is not possible or standard. Geoparquet is a common one now - a grea

Or just do what the Japanese do - remove unlimited (and overnight) on-street parking in urban areas and require anyone owning a car to prove they have a private parking spot to house it

Looks great. I wish there was similar advancement for full 3d tiles. The only real option at the moment is cesiums 3d tiles format which is nowhere near as fast as it could/should be

The other side is lack of colourfast pigments back then. Underlayers would be cheap and colourfast. Top layers would usually be more expensive and deteriorate much more quickly.

If you read the rhetoric it is not about removing commercial exploitation of children. It is about removing child bullying, grooming and algorithms that lead to things like misogynist content and eating disorders. I generally agree with par

The bar is incredibly low considering what OpenAI has done as a "not for profit"

I dont think youd get less rich-people-friendly decisions from ccongress. It may well be the opposite. Certainly it removes some of the separation of powers.

One view is that the western idea of "good taste" was informed by people looking at greek and roman statues and buildings and incorrectly assuming they were always intended to be plain.

I can see it for programmers. Here you can use industry standard python libraries (shapely, geopandas etc.). Nobody really wants to learn PyQGIS (the python interface for qgis). So while qgis is much more full featured for "desktop&quo

A huge part of poorly designed roads is wider lanes (and parking spaces) that allow/encourage huge cars. Its been proven that narrower lanes correlate strongly with lower crash and fatality rates (e.g. [0] below) yet lane widths are un
