or the top 1% of value holders means your connection to other holders is vastly smaller than the other 99%. also highly likely to get cancer no matter who you are. i think the odds are better than people think, was just a matter of time

regardless of that observation: i am glad it's good people working with good people on these problems!

So this is a smudge of like 4 projects? Huh. Definitely interested, but I wonder about the longevity of the system. That's one thing about the code cad systems I like: it's pretty easy to port code from one to another.

If you use Google in any capacity, you already have.

Ask HN: Would you hate if your desktop software had opt-in Microsoft Clarity?

While I absolutely hate tracking as a user, as a business, I've come to see why these are so compelling. You can see exactly where people are losing their shit. You can act on it and make the application better without surveys.

How do you feel about this? Esp. if it's opt-in?

Not exactly this, but many "3D games" were pre-computed scenes. The normal map is the novel bit of this demo.

I don't think there's anything recent here, they are just pre-computing a normal map which doubles as already "baking" a 3D-looking image in.

The RP2XXX microcontrollers are so incredible in terms of what it's opened to hobbyists. I hope microcontroller-based computers become a thing.

I want to say, that your comment has been the most real, aligned thing I've read in this post's comments. The articulation of what I've also seen and felt is perfect. Whoever else passes by, THIS, is the truth. What dnw has written is the honest-to-god state of things and that it does not rob you of the passion of creating.

Sounds like you'd use an LLM exactly for that.

My theory that you'll need a dedicated machine to access the internet is more true by the day.

Oh, I'll have to correct this! I've only seen eForth mentioned with Dr Ting's name all over. Thank you.

The metacompilation part is really nice. Did the self-modification section of the essay not convey that to you? Because that's what it was :s I'll have to revise it.

I really want this essay to be definitive, so even after 4 revisions there is still some way to go. All the comments have been extremely helpful to further reach that goal :)

(typing from phone) i simply had not known. it is a great example of a short path to a c dialect then! merci pour votre travaille au dusk et collapse! i will add a paragraph about it to the essay. this took me many days to write and many revisions and still i see it isnt perfect!

note the point of that section was really that anyone using gcc or clang should ack. the real cost when using them.

The problem with this text is it's a written anecdote. Could all be fake.
