Re:FilenQ – a native macOS file manager for power users on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @04:14PM (#48665055)
Having a conflicted feeling about this. On one hand, the idea is cool. On the other, the website with its' Instrument Serif font Claudism is kind of a turn off and makes me feel that the whole experience is gonna be slop or the maker will lose interest in a matter of weeks and stop shipping.

You do realize that this is likely a 10 trillion parameter model that takes something like 20 terabytes of RAM to run inference? Calculate the price for all this VRAM .... It's not getting cheaper in the next few "months".

Blatant low effort self-promotion. Your website still has a Vercel favicon.
Witcher 4 is a game that is pushing UE5's limits. Unreal comes with its source available, and CPR had to write their own world partition streaming engine, create a new type of non-actor asset for environment art, introduce a lot of multi-threading improvements. That's why it serves as a good tech demo source. Lots of people in the industry are looking carefully at how this move from a proprietary engine to UE is going for CPR, and this kind of tech demo serves are great marketing towards other companies with an in-house engine considering a move to UE.

Re:The World of Warp – Warp's refreshed, reimagined brand on Friday October 18, 2024 @06:27AM (#41877997)
I gave up on Warp a long time ago when it started memory leaking like crazy: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2611

Also I've never quite found the AI stuff "smart" enough in the terminal to make me feel like it's contributing to anything I'm doing. More often than not the stuff it suggests is useless and worse than a naive autocomplete.

I had the exact same thing, but with Instagram. An old account that I used for years suddenly wanted to scan my face.

Isn't this piracy of sorts?
Re:JetBrains doesn't want to listen to the developers on Thursday April 11, 2024 @05:30PM (#40007031)
I absolutely love the new UI and have been enjoying it every day since. Some people will just complain no matter what about having their world disrupted.
Re:Intel discloses $7B operating loss for chip-making unit on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @10:07PM (#39912902)
It's not. Operating loss is when expenses are greater than the revenue.
That's because going outside in Australia is a hazard
Re:Ask HN: Anyone else finding Google Maps terrible? on Monday September 18, 2023 @06:56PM (#37563268)
Did you try to search for "public bath near me" instead of just "public bath"? That tends to work better for me when I search for stuff on Google Maps.

Larian is just using UBB.threads. Nothing special about their specific implementation of it.

Same thing is happening to me regularly.

CTO with hiring experience here, if you provide me with contact details I can also give a honest feedback on what might be wrong with your CV/interview process/experience.

Funds don't appear on the blockchain out of nowhere. They need to be sent from another address on a PUBLIC ledger. They are ALWAYS traceable. A person who would upload illegal or pedophilic content to the blockchain would be traceable through exchanges, transactions e.t.c

That's why you don't see lots of that behavior currently. (there may be some, but nowhere near any significant amount)

In my country, I pay $35 per month for health insurance, and get much more coverage. Reading about American realities is like reading a horror novel :)
Re:Ask HN: Can't focus when writing code in dark mode on Saturday May 30, 2020 @02:57PM (#23363638)
Until this month, I was thinking that I like dark mode better, but then I started experiencing vertigo, nausea and all sorts of migraines after long programming sessions. I tried light mode and it went away. So light mode all the way for me!

Great concept for DevOps tasks on the go! Excited to try it out.
Re:Render React to Embedded LCD on Monday November 11, 2019 @03:36PM (#21508610)
Producing 760k of code for a Raspberry Pi (running a full blown non-realtime linux distribution) hardly seems like embedded development though.
