double051 | 7 months ago | on: Do LLMs identify fonts?

Maybe they're just cheap and fast enough for the author to perform an affordable analysis?

I agree that using the frontier models would be much more interesting.

double051 | 7 months ago | on: Tokens are getting more expensive

If you pay for the all products subscription, their AI features are now bundled in. I believe that may be a relatively recent change, and I would not have known about it if I hadn't been curious and checked.

Hey that's Ascension from Halo 2. Cool test case!

Is there any information about pricing? I can't find it.

Besides making any of this possible?

Where can we learn more about this? The strike calls for players to boycott the game?

double051 | 1 year ago | on: NotebookLM's automatically generated podcasts are surprisingly effective

This sentiment feels overly dismissive about the possibilities here. This is the first pass at a new user experience, and I find it already to be compelling to try for various subjects.

Andrej Karpathy has been tweeting about it positively, and I believe he has a good intuition about these kinds of technologies. https://twitter.com/karpathy

double051 | 5 years ago | on: The Case of the Missing Rewards – Bungie Tech Blog

This is the first entry in the new Bungie Tech Blog, and it details the story of fixing a very tricky bug in Destiny 2.

You can also read the new Tech Blog introduction here - https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50139

Disclaimer - I work for Bungie, but I did not write these articles.

double051 | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?

Definitely! I still keep the bookmarks bar visible on Chrome and Firefox to have quick access to my favorite and most visited pages. All of the links have abbreviated names to fit more on the bar. #1 is Hacker News, of course.

I also still 'star' interesting links and categorize them into folders. Very handy to have Chrome sync the bookmarks across all of my machines.

Those results look amazing! I'm curious how well it holds up at higher resolutions and closer inspection.

Also, there doesn't seem to be any mention of the distribution license for the project. Would any of the maintainers be able to add a license to the repository? Thanks!

Proxy Auto-Config is by off by default on Windows and Macs, but it doesn't say that in the article or on the Microsoft page.

double051 | 9 years ago | on: ThinLTO: Scalable and Incremental Link-Time Optimization for LLVM

There's a session from WWDC 2016 that talks about this - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/405/

The LTO part runs from 14:00 to 22:00. The streaming seems to only work in Safari (for Macs), but you can download the mp4s in HD (1.2 GB) or SD (300 MB).

They do a good job of describing how it works and why this is kind of a big deal.

double051 | 10 years ago | on: Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian will “appcast” the new Reddit app at 5pm PT

What does "appcast" mean?

double051 | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: Teevox – Twitch Multistream Player,made in Static HTML, React, Firebase

I remember this from way back when it was called WarpPrism, and hosted at WarpPrism.com. I had it bookmarked and used it to watch SC2 streams all the time.

Great to see that it's still in active development!

Someone did this with their WebGL Terrain demo [0]. You can find a detailed post-mortem in the author's blog [1].

double051 | 11 years ago | on: Keypress: A robust JavaScript library for capturing keyboard input

Getting an error on that page in Chrome.

    Refused to execute script from 'https://rawgithub.com/dmauro/Keypress/master/keypress.js' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

EDIT: It's because Keypress is using rawgit.com instead of cdn.rawgit.com to host the actual keypress.js script.

Details here - http://rawgit.com/dmauro/Keypress/master/keypress.js

Working script source - http://cdn.rawgit.com/dmauro/Keypress/master/keypress.js

double051 | 11 years ago | on: Bye Bye JavaScript Promises

The 'code' blocks on this page are all using variable-width fonts, making it quite difficult to read the examples.

Consider changing the 'font-family' to 'monospace'?

double051 | 11 years ago | on: Microsoft has joined Khronos, WebGL working group

This one of the many reasons why I ignore Windows Phone as a viable development platform.

This is sweet! You have intuitive controls, interesting enemies, and fun combat going on.

double051 | 11 years ago | on: Facebook Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

Could they be reporting monthly active 'devices' as 'users'?

More clearly, could one user on an iPad and Android phone count as two different 'active users'?
