There was a thread on it a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47040524 Though I don't know if you can count it as a "buried lede" if the first paragraph of the art…

I feel like Nvidia Omniverse's main innovation is that they call themselves an 'industrial metaverse platform' even though their product is practically not much different from a ga…

In the chart, it says 大海 (dàhǎi, lit. big sea) above "SEA", which means 'ocean'.

The easily replacable parts feature sounds like it'd work great in a university context. The uni's service desk could stock up on replacement parts and fix the phones right there i…

Maktone is so good! I remember hearing one of their songs in a GBA intro[1] and it still gets stuck in my head sometimes... [1]: https://youtu.be/CGaqlSIUSEo

I mean, to an extent... like it would still give passengers an earlier opportunity to correct course. If they got off at the next stop after troisdorf they could take the local bus…

i'm a little bit sad the kernel diagram background is gone

That's upsetting. Being able to do templating without using JavaScript was a really cool party trick. I've used it in an unfinished website where all data was stored in a single XM…

yes, definitely. if you don't check the schedule multiple times per day, you're bound to end up in an empty classroom or missing class. at least once a week, in my high school expe…

A coworker once implemented a name validation regex that would reject his own name. It still mystifies me how much convincing it took to get him to make it less strict.

Perhaps some kind of rolling key system could've been used? If the key was rewritten on each successful login, either the attacker would have to use their cloned key immediately (a…

Same. I suspect they're all blocked in the EU to avoid having to comply with GDPR. It's archived here, though: https://archive.today/D0fQZ The picture from Ohio's website too: http…

Just gotta add a nice XSLT stylesheet to that feed.xml and people with only web browsers can also enjoy the blog. ex1: https://darekkay.com/atom.xml ex2: https://feeds.nos.nl/nosni…

Can't wait to go to the store and buy a copy of GPT-7 on one of these

That sounds like https://justbeamit.com/ . I don't know if it still works.

They may have read this article written by Near arguing that FPGA-based products are still (hardware-based) emulation: https://archive.is/fWosI It's a well-written article, and pre…

I'm not sure about a room with this, but I remember seeing a demo of this concept some years ago: https://youtu.be/1orUctibUow The keyword is "redirected motion/walking".

It's Apple's words, not the author's: > Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago. ~ https://support.apple…
