For some reason all the datapoints seems to be shifted a few miles south-west.

That was surprisingly both fun and somewhat serious/practical. Loved it!

Yes, the joke is that this was back in 1999, but it’s funny how history repeats itself. And this gives an interesting perspective to the recent Anthropic export ban : in a way, that’s free advertising.

I wonder what commercial Anthropic could build out of this!

Using raw uncompressed bitrate is a bit disingenuous. How about comparing an older, widely supported codec like H.264 as a baseline?

It sounds like it's electric powered. As much as I love brushless motors, I think a model of that scale and quality would have deserved actual jet engines.

How about using a format that has actually been designed to be a compressed read-only filesystem? Something like a SquashFS or cramfs disk image?

Reading the article is what made him say that.

Kinda ironic that standardebooks.org refuses non-English books but will happily promote a French ranking... I mean none of those books are actually available on standardebooks.org - at least not in their original French version.

That is really cool. I wish it had an animated video to display the result, that'd be even easier to follow and therefore even more impressive.

Really cool game, but please please fix the viewport to prevent accidentaly zooming on the page on a mobile device!

I think the whole article is super confusing.

A Symbol is really just a string!

Well, it's a string that will guarantee unique allocations (two identical strings are guaranteed to be allocated at the same address), which makes equality checks super fast (compare pointers directly). But pretty much just a string nonetheless...

Feels like a disassembly of a boilerplate app, as opposed to handcrafted, minimal assembly code.

For instance I’m pretty sure the autorelease pool is unnecessary as long as you don’t use the autorelease mechanism of Objective-C, which you’re most likely not going to do if you’re writing assembly in the first place.

How would that impact the App Store approval? AFAIK they review binaries anyway…

Because of a lack of features? It doesn't even have IK so I would argue Blender is in fact easier to use (as in, will get you to the result faster even if you need a bit more time to learn the interface).

How is this any better than a Blender file with a rigged human model?

Great content, terrible form.

Thanks. Does it make a big difference in practice?

Well, that’s my point exactly: mainline kernel is what all distros eventually use.

As a matter of fact I’m currently running an OrangePi 5 as a server using an unmodified Debian Trixie and hardware support is nearly perfect.

I looked it up rapidly and couldn't figure out the difference with the original OrangePi 5.

By the way, the OrangePi 5 is a pretty good SBC. Much better bang/bucks than RPi, and the mainline kernel support is pretty good and getting better with every release thanks to the folks at Collabora.

I feel like we’ve gone full circle. For decades Apple hardware sucked and was badly overpriced, but you paid the price to enjoy running Mac OS X. Now Apple makes amazing hardware (especially laptops) but the drawback is that you have to run macOS on them.

I really wish Asahi Linux had more support, I would have bought a couple M4 Minis.
