News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I wonder if this screen + mouse + keyboard (+ camera + speaker + mic) interface is really the right level of abstraction to model a “digital entity”

Sure, you can do everything a human can, but it also seems VERY inefficient

As an alternative, maybe you could just do network in/out?

This is a great idea for v2!

Show HN: List of .com domains that would make good startup names

Hey folks,Naming companies is hard. At Monzo we had to change the original name after an annoying trademark dispute.So we launched a fun little side project that sells cheap .com domains that would make good startup names.They are unique, short, easy to say and don't mean anything, so you can fill them with meaning - just like Google or Twilio did.You can check it out here: https://garple.comI...

How does this create consistent characters between frames?

My understanding was that this is very hard to do reliably without dreambooth style fine tuning, which is expensive and slow

What a great appointment!

I've had one brief interaction with Gary a long time ago, and he's been a role model ever since

I had a difference in opinion with my cofounder and wanted to leave the startup we'd founded, even if it meant leaving the YC program (which I adored), and would likely lose my visa to stay in the US. Seeing how distressed I was, Gary took me aside somehow simultaneously made me feel heard, but also told me that it's up to me to come back stronger from this moment.

It made all the difference to me, and I've thought back to that moment many times in the years to come.
