Really cool company! Checking out the state of the product I would have expected to see a gpu / tpu server there. Is this on the roadmap?

You have to be able to toss a salad for it to be a salad, no? They tried too hard to make pizza salad…

Fun game! Solver seems really smart. It would be great to disable double tap to zoom or make it slightly more adapted to phone screen sizes
Re:The Essential Question: "What should I read next?" on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @03:14PM (#49277234)
I find the best recommendations to be the works cited in other works you like. You can press pause in a movie when the camera goes over the bed side table book, or write down the movie they go see in the book you read. Gives a growing list to discuss with your librarian, although some time you need to branch out. Nice idea that’s mentioned there, shame it is only for non fiction books, would be interested in a fiction equivalent!
Are you sure this is Rilke? Couldn’t find anything online - it seems it’s close to a quote by Zora Neale Hurston
What I’m not sure to understand is that if you want to just run Claude code or openclaw type software with llm apis or subscriptions (and not run local models) to benefit from a local file system and always-on capability for ‘second brain’ type of workflows, I guess you don’t need a Mac mini but can run it on a raspberry pi or an old laptop ? Does anyone have experience with that ?

If you think about it as a game and not a typing exercice it's quite good, feels a bit like a typing guitar hero, and the animations are fun. Also learned some words. It lacks an accessible about page, you only reach it once going through a complete round.
Re:The New Literalism Plaguing Today's Biggest Movies on Wednesday July 16, 2025 @09:09AM (#44581934)
Quite a bad piece, the end note is ironic: the author doesn’t seem to be paying a lot of attention for a film critic apparently interested in litteralicity.

> An earlier version of this article incorrectly described the ending of “A Complete Unknown.”

I cannot see any common denominator in the multiple examples that the author gives and cannot relate to them (what point is there to put on an equal footing a micro analysis of a dialogue in Megalopolis -voluntarily grotesque- and the choice of film format in The Architect?).

Maybe there’s an intuition here, but I feel it is not well illustrated. The author probably hopes that she will be remembered for coining this wishy washy concept.

I’ve been using Strudel.cc lately which provides a live REPL for a JavaScript equivalent to Tidal, it’s wonderful (although there’s a lack of community forums / discord which would be nice for beginners)

Re:Context Engineering Guide on Saturday July 12, 2025 @02:32PM (#44543992)
Prompt engineering and now ”context engineering” are really the poor man’s engineering work when you’re subject to model iterations and cannot control any of the stochasticity of the models… what we need is better science to understand how to control large model’s output, not more LinkedIn AI influencers
Although not exactly generic shopping streets you describe, but “anonymous” places also have been theorized and dubbed a “non-place” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-place)

Re:Goodbye, waitlist. Hello, Arc 1.0 on Tuesday July 25, 2023 @11:31AM (#36863787)
it isn't mentioned anywhere but it's chromium based — which is of course is practical, but I wonder how dependent on Google that makes them and other browsers using it

Yes surprisingly worked out of the box with great perf on a M1 Pro (stable 50fps) for two games I tried (latest nightly from the front page, 1.7xx)
