Each pixel is a cube drawn at a certain height based on the terrain height map data. It’s not a volumetric render, I agree.

If a considerable size of test data is available for any system, rewriting a well-understood one is much easier today than rewriting by hand. The issue is mostly with the “well-understood” part, as over the years, none cared about understanding and it became a working blackbox that is responsible for a critical part of large system and none wants to take the risk.

This is incredibly beautiful. A few months back I tried to build a my own version of Google Earth rendered in voxels. Basically building from the terrain heightmaps scans available in open public data. Making it smooth and tessellation to work was incredible amount of work even for a simple vexed renderer https://codetiger.in/earth/

This is amazing work. I've used GPIOZero in my RPi projects before. In the future, you can introduce conditional operators in the flow. It can become a complete coding platform.

See JSONLogic UI for similar implementation: https://github.com/GoPlasmatic/datalogic-rs Disclaimer: I am the maintainer of the datalogic-rs project

Sorry if I sounded to you like assuming fellow commenters like that, but that was not my intention. As you were bringing up medical terms, I was trying to set the context clearly for my previous comment.

"Tunnel vision" sounds too positive for this context.

I decided to take a career break and build an open source project to manage services better. Feedbacks are welcome, product is too early for adoption.

https://github.com/GoPlasmatic/Orion

Design principles: * Isolate business logic from service framework using declarative coding * Make the logic representation machine-writable so AI is a first-class author * Treat business logic as versioned data, not compiled services * Ship governance with the platform, not with each service * Invoke services in-process, not over the network * Modular monolith — export and scale a service independently when needed * Push integrations into declarative connectors, keep logic pure

In LLM (AI) terms, we call the same effect as "models are hallucinating".

This case can be the best example of human hallucinations. They made a mistake in username, and assumed everything after that was facts. All that had to be proved was the person is the owner of the mistaken username.

You can say something similar if someone had hand written it and reimplemented an existing library in new language. "This is just a reimplementation of existing library to Rust, I don't have anything new to add myself." Also its never as simple as a single prompt, it goes beyond it if the user really cares.

The ice cream flavors are more meaningful those days. Nowadays they have every possible combinations like the weird "green chilly ice creams"

I built my Rust library for JSONLogic and use bindings for other languages after similar frustrations with Rule engines, template engines and IFTTT engines. https://github.com/GoPlasmatic/datalogic-rs

I think he meant the post title. As the author shows his work finally in the article.

Meanwhile, am on $200USD plan and its the same issue with Claude Code, or VSCode plugin.

Ask HN: Is Claude Code down, or its just my region?

codetiger — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:17:19 +0000

For the last couple of days, Claude Code cli is behaving very slow in responding. Especially after 4.8 got released, but today, it has come down to totally unusable. And yet there is no issues reported in status page. I've raised a Github issue but still no response for last couple of hours.

Google killed more messenger app/services than the entire software count listed in this list. Obviously exaggerating but might be close to true

Am still keeping my hopes up, scientists will make it wake up once every 6 months and just ping home saying it’s alive. I’ll still call it very much alive, even without science equipments running.

With little what I know of Voyager, the beautiful machine has broke all previous estimates. And thus hoping it will last until we have another such machine overtake the distance before this one goes into total shutdown
