Try out the new models at https://aistudio.google.com . It's a great way to experiment with all the Gemini models that are also available via the API. If you haven't yet, try also …

The standalone app is at https://gemini.google.com/app , and is similar to ChatGPT. You can also use https://aistudio.google.com to use base models directly.

That makes total sense in many applications, including games. The idea was to have TCP sockets and Websockets to enable that. Basically, have the same APIs you're familiar with in …

See the binary sizes in the (obsolete) releases page: https://github.com/windowjs/windowjs/releases About 8 MiB in the end. Note that these builds have a binary trimmed by UPX.

https://windowjs.org is a very similar concept -- it wraps Skia and exposes it as the Canvas API, but also embeds v8 for a very small runtime instead of using Node. It was my first…

There are way more posts and comments on HN than it used to, but time isn't stretching to skim through it all looking for the insightful comments. Would it make sense to bring back…

The Last Question is perhaps the short story with the most mind-bending finale. Highly recommended. http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html

It's even more disappointing for open source projects.

Spot on. I actually know a couple of people who have been rejected and they don't have a very clear reason for the rejection. However, I could tell during the conversation on the i…

Yet another unrelated-but-related reply: I actually feel a fear of rejection when posting on HN . I know I usually don't have much to add, so I don't post often; but it has happene…

You can see a description of what Google does in Munich here: http://www.google.de/intl/en/jobs/germanylocations/munich/ . Have a look at the Software Engineer openings. The Munich…

I'll mention a related question I've been pondering on lately: how does one assess his own skill level? When one has people around who are clearly more able programmers, one can ta…

A little meta, but how did you find you were misquoted in this particular article? 1. You read it by chance and found it? 2. Someone notified you? 3. Some software scans every arti…

This reminded me of the Lost Symbol book (which is also mentioned in the article. For reference, it's from the same author of The Da Vinci Code). I recall reading this in the book …

Why I would take vim or emacs any day: - versions available for many platforms. Your editing skills on Linux are easily transferrable to Windows or Mac, and others. - Free, and Ope…

Hi Patrick! You mention several times your past as a salaryman, and from your posts I get the feeling you're very happy about not being one anymore :) Besides the "pull" factors (s…

On the other hand, Apple didn't have a cash-cow before the iPod, if you regard it as their first cash-cow after Jobs' return. And going from there to iTunes, to merging the iPod an…

Before Big Bang there was no movement How was the Big Bang triggered then?

Mixed feeling about your fine comment. On the one hand, it masterfully debunks the original text. On the other hand, it's way too redditty, and I don't know if I want to see this o…

Care to elaborate? Is the solution presented in the original article incorrect? BTW, the original solution yields 27 whites: 5 from the start, and then jar1 is used 2+3+3+3=11 time…

How I can feel your pain. The same happened to me in a different scale: "partner" wanted 100%, but the situation only lasted 4 weeks. The BIG lesson from my and your story is: BEFO…
