The dot com boom was a bubble. Doesn't mean that the underlying web technology that powered it was bad or worthless. But the valuations definitely were. AI, in its current form, will be around for a long time, maybe even as ubiquitous as the internet is today, a few decades from now. But the situation right now can definitely be classified as a bubble.

Keeping aside the functionality of the app, the vibe of the web page and those mascots is NOT IT. They are unsettling and creepy

Do they really have to specify greed mode? Isn't that the default?

Can someone who knows explain what is the benefit of having all that data in one ssd instead of splitting it up into hundreds of individual drives? Does the single ssd benefit is more performance or does it really tuen out to be cheaper than hundreds of individual drives?

It is a "There is No Antimemetics Division" kind of scenario. They discover the cure and then keep forgetting it.

I felt this article in my bones. I also had the same realisation years ago and eventually wrote about it on my blog: https://omeysalvi.com/blog/blog-11. I still have a long way to go but I feel encouraged that at least I'm learning with intent now.

This review gives away too many key points in the story leading anyone who has read this before the book to anticipate what is going to happen. The reviewer should have added a note for spoilers before the review

Show HN: Chat Plays Chess (YouTube)

omeysalvi — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 08:53:21 +0000

I was interested in making a live game like Twitch Plays Pokémon from years ago. I recently saw the Falling Pickaxe game trending on YouTube and decided to go for it as a small project. I had already made a Chess game and thus had some code. I made this version by integrating the YouTube Data API. Game engine is Unity. Moves are checked every 20 seconds. The underlying AI is Stockfish. It falls well below the api quota and can be run all day.

Actually, it is a metaphor for formulating a brand new branch of mathematics that fixes the identity principle and all the problems with the square root of two. But also, it is not a metaphor because show me any physical system where an action times an action does not equal a reaction.

The re releases are not meant for those watching the movie for the first time. It is assumed the audience coming for these one time events is already a fan of the movie.
