Tell HN: A Year for PC Gaming: Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, GFN Streaminghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37511080I know this isn't normally a gaming forum, but 2023 has been such an exceptional year for PC gaming that I thought it might be an interesting discussion meta-topic? I just wanted to geek out a bit...This year, a few huge things happened:* Baldur's Gate 3 came out, 23 years after its sequel, to overwhelming acclaim, with a level of narrative and tactical freedom not seen in video games [1][2]* Starfield, basically "Skyrim in Space", also came out a few weeks later (to worse reviews [3], but it's still a big deal for a lot of people)* Microsoft pushed through its Activision deal, and around the same time also signed a new agreement with Nvidia [4], letting its Game Pass games [5] be available through GeForce Now game streaming [6]First, taken together, all of this means that AAA games have never been quite so accessible. Anybody with a web browser (even a Chromebook) and a few dollars can play the latest AAA games in ultra graphics, no console or gaming desktop needed. We've come a LONG Sep 14, 2023 4:27 PM

Show HN: Wyvern – Real-time machine learning platform for marketplaceshttps://github.com/Wyvern-AI/wyvernHello HN. I’m Shu, here with my best friend Suchintan. We’re the creators of Wyvern (https://github.com/Wyvern-AI/wyvern), a real-time machine learning framework to help marketplaces adopt ML earlier in their life.Wyvern is an end-to-end platform to help marketplaces build and scale custom machine learning pipelines, with the goal of enabling data scientists to own the full machine learning stack. It offers a bundle of: 1. Feature store to store and serve features 2. Model service to serve ML models 3. Feature + Model observability platform 4. Orchestration framework for ML PipelinesWhile being mindful of the following constraints: 1. Pipeline evaluation in < 200ms to optimize user experience [1] 2. Minimizing train / test skew for model trainingSuchintan built the ML Platform at Faire and Gopuff to improve their Search and Discovery experience. At both places, the platform became an engine that empowered the data team to independently deliver new models to production, generating over Sep 13, 2023 8:06 PM

How to recover (digitally) when you are out of prison?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37498158This is not a joke. I have been in prison abroad for nearly two years. A total nightmare. I have nearly lost everything. Not made CC payments in 2 years etc. The US embassy was of little help, mainly because I am a dual citizen. Be assured that this is something that will change very soon. Some things would count as torture that I experienced in this prison (I was 5 month without any contact to my public defender, he never picked up his phone. I wanted to call the US embassy but was denied, finally they declared me crazy for claiming to be a US citizen and I was put in solitary confinement in a cell that was video monitored 24/7. All this is over now. I was released unexpected yesterday. Now I try to heal and recover.A friend of mine was able, to at least some extent, to pay for some of my domains. While my main email seems lost (he forgot to pay for email hosting), my main email/domain address seems to be saved. Just have to set up some email hosting for this domain.0.

Show HN: WhatsApp-Llama: A clone of yourself from your WhatsApp conversationshttps://github.com/Ads-cmu/WhatsApp-LlamaHello HN!I've been thinking about the idea of a LLM thats a clone of me - instead of generating replies to be a helpful assistant, it generates replies that are exactly like mine. The concept's appeared in fiction numerous times (the talking paintings in Harry Potter that mimic the person painted, the clones in The Prestige), and I think with LLMs, there might actually be a possibility of us doing something like this!I've just released a fork of the facebookresearch/llama-recipes which allows you to fine-tune a Llama model on your personal WhatsApp conversations. This adaptation can train the model (using QLoRA) to respond in a way that's eerily similar to your own texting style.What I've figured out so far:Quick Learning: The model quickly adapts to personal nuances, emoji usage, and phrases that you use. I've trained just 1 epoch on a P100 GPU using QLoRA and 4 bit quantization, and its already captured my mannerismsTuring Tests: As an experiment, I asked my friends to ask me 3 questSep 9, 2023 5:43 PM

Show HN: Story of using C# for a terminal app (macOS and Linux)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37440907The backstory and implementation of a hobby project called ViLark[1]I wrote it to make myself a faster and nicer looking file/buffer selector when I am using vim. But it's a stand alone executable -- when I launch it from a hotkey in vim, it takes over the terminal screen, and vim is suspended. It uses temp files to communicate the user selection back to vim, and it exits whenever a file is chosen or the escape key cancels it.This honestly wouldn't be possible without C# AOT compilation. Startup time would be too slow. But now, it's finally at c/c++ level startup time, perceptually. Really, it's instant, and doesn't feel like a break in the flow.It uses a few new .NET features like PosixSignalRegistration, so it gracefully handles CTRL-Z and CTRL-C -- setting the tty back to default settings, and going back to the 'main' terminal screen. Those are low-level details but are pretty important -- having your cursor not be visible when you type in a shell is not something you ever want.It aSep 9, 2023 12:13 AM

Ask HN: Where can you safely ask beginner-level questions online in 2023?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37422697What are some of your favourite websites for asking beginner-level questions where you won't be laughed out of the room for being a beginner say, 30-50% of the time?Facebook seems hit or miss - some Facebook groups are okay with beginners, others hate them.Twitter is prone to the no-network effect where you can only really ask questions if you have a strong follower base that's open to answering your questions - nobody really uses hashtags, so, you have to be a "reply guy" if you want to ask questions.Reddit is nice, but I was banned from Reddit for life for saying that the new Harry Potter game looks good and probably isn't a call to arms for Nazis - trying to be a voice of reason, rather than a Nazi, or, whatever I got banned from the platform for life for - and haven't bothered setting up Tor yet.Quora seems interesting, but, I don't like it.Hacker News seems great, but, it's more for intermediate to advanced audiences.Stack Exchange seems great, but, it's not a great place for begiSep 7, 2023 5:42 PM

Launch HN: HyLight (YC S23) – Hydrogen airships to inspect energy infrastructurehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37295149Hi HN, we’re Thomas, Martin, Théo, and Josef, cofounders at HyLight (https://www.hylight.aero). We build and operate autonomous hydrogen airships to inspect energy infrastructure like pipelines and power lines. Here’s a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuW5ur8ER7A.Energy infrastructure operators (utility companies) struggle with conducting precise inspections of their assets. It is extremely important for them because they need to make sure that the network is in good condition to avoid outages and leaks. This infrastructure has big impacts when it is malfunctioning. For instance, methane leaks from oil and gas infrastructure represent 4% of global carbon emissions every year (and approx. $7B worth of losses in Northern America and Europe).Gas and power networks are physically so large (more than 47M miles globally) that millions of miles of inspections must be done each year. Currently the most used solution is helicopters (used on 90% of inspections). Helicopters are dangerous,Aug 28, 2023 3:00 PM
