- That screenshot is super interesting, never seen anything like it.
It's giving me some ideas for a TUI video editor using that grid interface. What a cool project.
- Strudel is my favorite, it has pretty syntax, and their interactive guide (with inline REPL) is extremely well done too.
- I thought I was being rate-limited for opening posts too fast, which has happened before.
After more than an hour I thought, "wow this is pretty harsh" and "so much of my exposure to learning things is directly tied to HN posts". I was lost lol.
- If the lenses are good, it's enough. Just have to up the font size a bit and give up some information density compared to, say, a 16-17 inch laptop.
The Quest 3 is already close to good enough to spend decent chunks of time in reading text. Just have breaks every 30m to avoid mild strain.
To me, the sweaty face issue is the main annoyance with working in these types of headsets.
- > at least keep it reasonably competitive with the Meta Quest
Having the headset also be a PC (and not essentially a phone OS) is worth a premium of >$250 at least. You can build desktop apps/games on this thing, it can (hopefully) do just about anything a normal PC can.
The Quest is impressive in many ways, but it's a much narrower-use device. I don't think Valve's pricing needs to be in that same bracket to still sell.
- Beautiful UI and a genuinely fun game
- This is why I wish chat UI's had separate categories of chats (like a few generic system prompts) that let you do more back-and-forth style discussions, or more "answers only" without adding any extra noise, or even an "exploration"/"tangent" slider.
The fact that system prompts / custom instructions have to be typed-in in every major LM chat UI is a missed opportunity IMO
- I wonder if there's examples of whole product architectures done in Prolog, seems like an elegant solution if done right. I've been looking for a concise way to model full architectures of my various projects, without relying on having a typical markdown file.
Which is separate from the actual types in the code.
Which is separate from the deployment section of the docs.
- At this point, the controller is the most exciting thing for me.
Steam machine is cool, but with how good handheld PCs already are, I'd be ok spending a bit more and just using those instead and docking it for TV gaming.
- The entire reason tiktok got so popular is the younger generation (born in the mid 90s to early 2000s) normalizing sharing so much of their lives publicly.
It's given rise to a much richer form of social media and "personal brand" building when done well, IMO. Although I have noticed the tide starting to turn, with the amount of us-vs-them sentiment all over the internet lately.
Honestly, if I was a kid just discovering social media today, I'd be extremely guarded too.
- You're free to think whatever you want about your own tastes, but do you actually think Google/Apple's tastes are that special?
There's so many talented devs/designers that have proven their ability to improve on the stock UI's on these mobile OS's. It'd be a damn shame to block out that ability.
- Compared to the most popular alternative (mac mini / mac studio), it's still way more inline with the framework mission.
You can still buy the motherboard version and use your own case and PSU. That's better than not just the macs, but also many other mini PCs.
And considering the chip, it's still the most modular way to buy a Ryzen 395 for the foreseeable future.
- But think of it this way, anybody who specifically wants this chip (Ryzen strix halo) now has a way to buy it in a somewhat modular platform.
- With diving board trackpads, I usually just tap to click.
Physically pressing down a diving board is just asking for frustration. Sometimes I miss the separate left, right, and middle click buttons under the trackpad like the old days.
- Give me some examples of people doing this without friends/family giving them loans, or the founders spending thousands of their own money.
Not arguing, just want to see how it's done so I have examples for myself.
- $700 buys a full PC I can use to code, browse the web, and run millions of desktop apps. It comes with a screen too.
This thing has no business being $700.
- That's not a great analogy. Soundtracks are often in the top ~5 most important parts of making a game special.
A laugh track doesn't really change the narrative or the experience that much, except on comedies which are only barely funny to begin with. You could remove the laugh tracks of any of my favorite comedies and I'd enjoy them maybe 1% less.
But games like Fallout NV, Doom, the GBA-era Pokemon games, would be a whole lot less immersive (and less fun) without their amazing soundtracks.
The UI, the minimal buttons, the tight paddings, the lack of pop-in, the complete lack of animations; these have all been essentially unchanged for the past decade. Even the dark mode colors look exactly as it did the first time I switched it on.
