bloniac··on Tell HN: YC will help you find a co-founder
I tried to sign up for this as a technical co founder and it was long winded and painful to “apply”.

I don’t know why I had to “apply” to offer to be a technical cofounder.

After all this they “rejected” me. How can you be rejected from offering to be a technical cofounder?

What a waste of time.

I don’t recommend startup school as a way to find a cofounder especially if you’re technical.

bloniac··on Why a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a catastrophe for China and the world
The world would have much bigger problems than semiconductors if a full blown war happened in Taiwan.

It won’t happen anyway. China is just Sabre rattling and beating its chest for political gain.

If they were going to do it then it should have been on Trumps watch, when there was no certainty at all the USA would back its allies in a conflict. Not that there’s much certainty now.

bloniac··on A completely unoptimized terminal renderer that runs at several thousand FPS
So to be clear, there are no thousands of frames per seconds actually being displayed anywhere. There’s 144 at best.

The internal buffer is being updated thousands of times per second. The user will see their regular 60FPS.

bloniac··on A completely unoptimized terminal renderer that runs at several thousand FPS
What does “thousands of frames per second” even mean when the monitor is displaying in the range of sixty frames per second or if you have a fast one, 144 FPS?

Is it just conceptual frames per second? So for the terminal to be doing 1,000s of frames per second then the graphics card is outputting thousands of frames per second?

I don’t get it. Where are these thousands of FPS?

bloniac··on Target finally explains why nearly all its SF stores have reduced hours
But why? What’s the real deep down social reason this is happening?

>> “Code should be written by humans.”

Lots of code isn’t written by humans.
