I am alone. I haven't seen my family in many, many years for reasons that I don't want to get into. I am a founder. I check Hacker News every day and have learned an immense amount from all the commenters, articles, and discussions over the years. I thank you all for that. I am truly grateful.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas full of joy, and I hope you can all appreciate, share, and express love for those around you, be it family, friends, or strangers on the internet. We are all very lucky to be part of the HN site and community. I have been here for about 15 years (at least that is what it feels like) with my other accounts that I don't want to dox.

Glory to God. For believers in Jesus, may the light of Christ guide you as it does me in difficult times. Wishing you all His peace and joy.

Meta leading the charge. Tencent just tried to do it this week. People need to to call them on it and AI ‘influencers’ never do, quite the opposite actually

I wake up, and look at HackerNews lol. This morning sucked hahaha

Scratches off one of my todos,

is there a working 'demo' I don't see one?

Kudos

Ya make sure you hold dear that grain of sand on a beach of pre-training data that is used to slightly adjust some embedding weights

Is there a good way this could be used for model distillation? Hmmm

I think absolutely it will in a year

RIP GTA6

Smart. Everyone that can leave Meta AI immediately should.

Honestly this is extra repulsive coming from the richest man in the world

Tell me you know nothing about AI without telling me you know nothing about AI

wasn't this the attention sink concept to some degree? I mean it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that if the latency overhead isn't signifigant, that frontier models start adopting similar to DeepSeek OCR tech

Wait, under everything I’ve read about Diffusion Language Models and demos I’ve also seen and tried, inference is faster than traditional architectures. They state the opposite what gives?

Starting to feel like iOS/Android.

Features drop on Android and 1-2yrs later iPhone catches up.

also ping pong around the page (ADHD'r). At times I read a sentance or two in linear fashion, then start jumping, or start or move to the end and read backwards, or any mix of this depending.

telegram is NOT safe. Far from it.

Great points, of course if you use full strict or flexible SSL you could be ok (safe) from Cloudflare, but no way that is the case here

FHE is far too computationally heavy. Won’t be used on ChatGPT for a very long time if ever

winning the AI race? Meta? Oh that was a good one. Zuck is a follower not a leader. It is in his DNA

Fundamentally, for OpenGL, "getting shaders" meant moving from a fixed, built-in set of graphics effects to giving developers custom control over the graphics pipeline.

Imagine you hired a robot artist to draw.

Before Shaders (The Old Way): The robot had a fixed set of instructions. You could only tell it "draw a red circle here" or "draw a blue square there." You could change the colors and basic shapes, but you couldn't change how it drew them. This was called the fixed-function pipeline.

After Shaders (The New Way): You can now give the robot custom, programmable instructions, or shaders. You can write little programs that tell it exactly how to draw things.

The Two Original Shaders This programmability was primarily split into two types of shaders:

Vertex Shader: This program runs for every single point (vertex) of a 3D model. Its job is to figure out where that point should be positioned on your 2D screen. You could now program custom effects like making a character model jiggle or a flag wave in the wind.

Fragment (or Pixel) Shader: After the shape is positioned, this program runs for every single pixel inside that shape. Its job is to decide the final color of that pixel. This is where you program complex lighting, shadows, reflections, and surface textures like wood grain or rust.

End Adobe.

It is ABSOLUTELY a joke. Downloaded Oasis app last night. My ‘Whole Foods’ water, ya turns out I’m drinking levels above what I should of arsenic, amongst other nasty shit

Can the city just keep the top five and fire the rest, you know tax savings lol although I’d get a parking ticket, surely

appreciate you sharing

I mean add a 1-2 sentence description of the HOW to this paragraph. Cause like great, but how. This is just marketing fluff and a user has to navigate the site to then understand what PlanetScale itself does (and how), if not familiar;

What is PlanetScale for Postgres?

Our mission is simple: bring you the fastest and most reliable databases with the best developer experience. We have done this for 5 years now with our managed Vitess product, allowing companies like Cursor, Intercom, and Block to scale beyond previous limits.

Not a single explanation of what ‘PlanetScale’ is, does (or how) on that landing page. A product, a service, a new offering or scaling paradigm, a cloud? Etc

Sure you can click around to determine but this always annoys me. Like everyone should know what your product is and does and all you service names. Put it front and center at the top!
