Show HN: Generative Graphics LLM Benchmarkhttps://www.ggbench.com/I’ve been obsessed with code-driven graphics since my first ellipse() in Processing. There’s something magical about watching a few lines of code bloom into motion—clean, crisp, and totally reproducible. With GGBench, I’m turning that obsession into a public benchmark for AI-generated graphics.GGBench is a benchmarking platform to compare graphics produced by AI—especially code that renders visuals (still and animated). You vote on side-by-side outputs, and we rank models with an ELO system (the same concept chess uses). It’s simple, transparent, and designed to push the whole field forward.Why this benchmark needs to exist Most LLMs are fantastic at writing code, but they’re basically flying blind: they can’t actually see what they produce. They output p5.js or Three.js scripts and call it a day. Whether that code renders beautifully—or at all—has been tricky to evaluate at scale.Meanwhile, video diffusion models chew through compute to produce every pixel of every frame.

Sports Math at U.S. Collegeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095980College coaches are supposedly big on math. Each week, college football coaches vote for the best teams in the country. It is fairly common to see some teams get ranked below other teams with more losses. This is often explained by strength of schedule. There are complicated algorithms attempting to calculate a team's strength of schedule.But do any of the coaches (or their proxies) who vote understand those algorithms? Can any of them explain why 3-0 Ohio State is ranked #3? OSU has beaten 0-3 Penn State, 1-2 Nebraska (whos only win was against Penn State) and 1-2 Rutgers. Is that really a stronger schedule than 7-1 Clemson (only loss to #2 Notre Dame), or 6-0 Cincinnati's? Or 5-1 Texas A&M's (loss to #1 Alabama, win against #4 Florida) or 8-0 BYU with a win against #21 Boise State?How is beating Penn State and Nebraska mathematically more impressive than beating Florida or Boise State?Can HN explain the math?Nov 14, 2020 9:53 PM

Ask HN: Why have post numbers become green and red?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21880128Dear HN, I appreciate you for the minimalistic interface that just does not contain anything unnecessary. For what purpose did you start using colors in post number?Does this mean the beginning of the end of the HN I know and love? Maybe now you will make a mobile app? Hang a banner warning that you store cookies? Forbid to use adblock?I could not understand for a while what this differentiation means. My first thought was that green posts - being voted positively and vice versa. Now I realized that they are simply alternating. It reminds me Mark Miller's "Tragedy of Common Lisp" story, and maybe the theory of broken windows a little bit.Thank you for all the wonderful that I discovered because of you.Dec 25, 2019 7:56 PM

Patriot Act Section Goes Way Too Farhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9628531Via: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/letters/2015/05/29/letter-patriotact-sunset-senate-spying/28185561/"Section 215 of the Patriot Act is scheduled to sunset on Monday. This law was secretly interpreted to allow the mass surveillance of who you talk to on the phone. Such information can be deeply intimate and private: Consider, for instance, what you could infer from a record of numerous calls to a local oncology center and pharmacies. Section 215 is a pointless, expensive intrusion into the private life of every American. On May 22, the Senate voted against extending Section 215. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has indicated he will bring it up again for a lastminute vote on Sunday. I write to encourage local readers to ask their senators, especially McConnell and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, not to extend these surveillance provisions because they run counter to the spirit and letter of the Constitution.

Help choose which Linux distro saves the earth from alien invasion.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6880434This post is for something I have made. So it is, by definition, self promoting. But I know many of you will be interested. So, with that in mind, I'm going to post it anyway.I have almost finished a novel. And I need help getting some dedicated writing time to get the last ~10k words down and final edits in place.The book, “Steve’s Laptop”, is a Sci-Fi Comedy about a developer named Steve who, while working at “the world’s largest software company” near Seattle, is trying to save the world from an alien invasion. Primarily with his laptop. Hence the title.If I were forced to compare it to something I would call it: “They Live” + “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” + “The IT Crowd“.I'm holding a "Help me finish this book" sale/fundraiser. A pay-what-you-want deal where you get my existing books, and get a chance to take part in shaping a small part of the book itself.Specifically, you get to vote on which Linux distro is used on "Steve's Laptop".

From books, Obama found his voicehttp://www.iht.com/articles/2009/01/19/arts/19read.php?page=1Obama has said that he wrote "very bad poetry" in college and his biographer David Mendell suggests that he once "harbored some thoughts of writing fiction as an avocation." For that matter, "Dreams From My Father" evinces an instinctive storytelling talent (which would later serve the author well on the campaign trail) and that odd combination of empathy and detachment gifted novelists possess. In that memoir, Obama seamlessly managed to convey points of view different from his own (a harbinger, perhaps, of his promises to bridge partisan divides and his ability to channel voters' hopes and dreams) while conjuring the many places he lived during his peripatetic childhood. He is at once the solitary outsider who learns to stop pressing his nose to the glass and the coolly omniscient observer providing us with a choral view of his past.Jan 20, 2009 9:04 AM
