dvh··on Tree-mounted machines connect to web app to let users knock on wood remotely
It's like FakeBlock from Arrested development
dvh··on Perspectiva Kogui: A message on artificial intelligence from the Kogui people
> Destruction does not require consciousness. It requires only power and the ability to act.
dvh··on The 'else' keyword is probably a literal translation from German (2020)
How would you mime "else" in charades?
dvh··on Why is this fingerprinting script creating bioweapons?
Why is it always ricin and water supply? I thought ricin is not soluable in water and would just float on the surface in some water tower or air chamber somewhere for ever.
dvh··on Everything
Update: they said wontfix, typical, just like human devs
dvh··on US President says he will ban the term 'artificial intelligence'
In Slovak it's "Umelá inteligencia", same as "umelá hmota" - generic term for any kind of plastic.
dvh··on Oldest GUI application that still runs on Windows 11
Just used xev today (bought new mouse few days ago and it wasn't responding in chrome so I wanted to be sure).
dvh··on Everything
I created schematic, pcb. Then exported Gerbers as zip and it passed and looks ok at jlcpcb. So it's usable.

I added one issue (allow to change default trace width) and we'll see how it goes. If they actually fix it, with maybe 30 another similar fixes it could be usable.

wget & execute, what could possibly go wrong
dvh··on The HTML-in-Canvas API origin trial
Wouldn't it make more logical sense to add canvas to html elements? I.e. checkbox.getContext("2d").fillRect(...)
dvh··on Open Source Games
I think it's because when the GitHub repo doesn't have screenshot, he shows randomly generated ai picture, nothing like the actual game.
dvh··on Open Source Games
1. Rather than showing fake screenshot (e.g. sdl-sopwith) because GitHub repo doesn't have it, you should show nothing.

2. Some game showed tailored screenshot that doesn't look like that game at all, exactly like Google play store. Showing representative screenshot is the most valuable thing you can do, you shouldn't even allow them to choose screenshot, it should be moderator choosing screenshot, not author of game, otherwise it will end up just like Google play store where images are basically useless.

3. Some projects are "engine only" and should be flagged as such.

dvh··on A robot I didn't expect to build
Are these kind of robots even economically viable? I've seen them doing work that would generally pay like $3/h. And human after a week is significantly faster.
dvh··on The compiler was supposed to end programming too
This is similar disruption that terminals brought. Before terminals, programming was done in the computer room, it was social gathering, many programmers were women, people were debugging printouts on the floor, punching cards together. Then terminals came and everybody crawled into their dark solitary offices, staring at green or yellow phosphor screens of their terminals. Women didn't like it and left.
dvh··on New plastic pollution discovered: 'Plasticorals' coral rubble fused with plastic
It's our own K-T layer
dvh··on JAXA is about to perform a Phobos sample return mission
I hope they make some photos of Phobos monolith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobos_monolith
dvh··on How to Train Your Robot
Feedback loops are too long with anything real worldly

dvh··on Show HN: High-quality duck audio synthesizer
Why would I, I wasn't feeding them. Besides it's illegal to chum on trout lakes.
dvh··on Show HN: High-quality duck audio synthesizer
I don't know who came up with idea that bread is bad for ducks but it ruined one fishing spot for me. There was a place where people were feeding bread to sucks and fly fishing there was awesome. Carps, chubs, crucians, rudds and roaches, even nases! All on dry flies. Then someone put out sign that bread harms ducks so people stopped feeding them and after a while all fish just disappeared.
dvh··on Bookofjoe's Favorite Thing: Best Pill Splitter
In my country this would get you few side-to-side head shakes followed by quiet whisper: "Americans..."
dvh··on Passkeys are not a trap
It's like with iso 8601.

- we support iso 8601

- really?! Like P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S?

- err, no, I mean 2026-12-31

What do you think about bryndza? I want external opinion.

dvh··on Akhetonics Photonic Computing: 1,000x Faster CPUs
Light is hundreds of nanometers, smallest "transistor" cannot be much smaller than wavelength.
dvh··on I'm sorry, but you still have to think
You know who else was thinking? Hitler!
dvh··on Akhetonics Photonic Computing: 1,000x Faster CPUs
> Photonics

So also 1000x smaller integration

dvh··on "Robot" Is a Social Construct: Why Your Dishwasher Is Not a Robot
The difference between machine and robot is that machine perform useful work.
dvh··on OpenSCAD the Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
I use openscad for all my kicad 3d models via scad->off->obj->(manually edit in mm3d to add colors)->wrl->kicad

It's not as bad as it looks, it's all automatic except adding colors which takes about 2 minutes.

On mobile when I scroll few pages down while only looking at images, it is impossible to tell if caption is above or below image, where it belongs.
