freeqaz commented on How Figma’s multiplayer technology works (2019)   figma.com/blog/how-figmas... · Posted by u/redbell

This is still a hard problem today. Some hard tech was built for this. I'm excited for a world where this is more accessible and less hardcore than something like CRDTs (in terms of accessibility).

How have others noticed the world shifting in the past 6 years?

Good job! That’s really good! Oh damn I didn’t realised it was you!

Dear HN community, susam built the GuessMyRGB game which was a huge inspiration for this game. Please take the time to play it!!

Here is another one my friend shared with me that's interesting. The time constraint adds some excitement! https://color.method.ac/
freeqaz commented on Rocknix is an immutable Linux distribution for handheld gaming devices   rocknix.org/... · Posted by u/PaulHoule

This distro seems like a fork of JELOS based on it literally saying "Just Enough Linux Operating System (ROCKNIX)" on the front page. That spells out JELOS, not ROCKNIX lol.

I believe JELOS did die, so this is cool to see. I'll try flashing it to a new SD card and seeing what's up! Does anybody see info on what's difference? Also, is there any indication that this is a fork anywhere?

Anybody recommend the best (anecdotally) device to run this on?

I have a steam deck but I want something smaller and less power hungry for retro emulation but can run everything.

I've got a few from PowKiddy. They're all based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC.

There are some other chips coming out that have decent Linux support too, but the majority of devices will have that one still.

A few thoughts:

* A Singapore based company, according to LinkedIn. There doesn't seem to be much of a barrier to entry to building a very good LLM.

* Open weight models + the development of Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max makes me optimistic that running great LLMs locally will be relatively cheap in a few years.

In a linked Twitter post[0], they trained this for $500k-ish. I wonder how?

Something in the article that I had to look up that might bother others. He uses the term 'DCT' in this sentence, but it's never defined in the article. AFAIK it stands for 'DRAM Memory Controller', but that could be an LLM hallucination. Running a web search defines it as Discrete Cosine Transform. :P

> "AMD’s BIOS and Kernel Developer’s Guide (BKDG) indicates there’s a 4-bit read pointer for a sideband signal FIFO between the GMC and DCT, so the “Garlic” link may have a queue with up to 16 entries."

Should maybe swap DCT in for MCT (memory controller)?

Next has become a joke. It’s mildly frustrating that with Remix’s inexplicable transformation into react-router, there’s few great react frameworks left (for me), I’m back to plain vite with tanstack router.

What are the best alternatives? Why Vite?

I use Next for a handful of small projects, and SEO was always touted as the big benefit to me.

I can just generate a bunch of static files, copy to S3, and be done. Is that not true anymore?
