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?

Another notable example: JetBrains Noria ( https://blog.jetbrains.com/fleet/2023/02/fleet-below-deck-pa... ). As the authors highlight: "Noria is not a UI framework at its core. In…

Doesn't this mean we just need to make the webgl fingerprint resistance implementation smarter? Instead of explicitly rejecting webgl access or responding with dummy data, respond …

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 cli…

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. On…

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…

@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 …

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 afte…

And then once they see that the website operator blocked the perplexity-user, apparently instead of respecting that, they not only ignore robots.txt, but actively try to bypass the…

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. Websi…

The filename is 'poland.gif', I wonder what's the message there.

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 w…

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. A…

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…

In the Android app I consistently get "Downloading model file" stuck at exactly -60830200% . Tried clearing data and caches and changing the connection.

In various trains, over 20 versions of the compiled firmware with unique variants of the locking algorithm were found. And to make matters worse, the trains were found to have some…

This looks great! But with all these mentions of democratizing and opposing centralization, the licensing model seems unclear to me. The Croquet Microverse is Apache-licensed but "…
