Looks really good but it's sad to see something that rules out Firefox. This isn't a jab at you, it's the state of our industry. Still sad though.

true. but firefox has not implemented webgpu fully yet :(

This looks really cool. I'd love to read your dev blog if there is one?

I would love more information on your setup. I want what you have, but I've skipped the app release because I thought xcode was required, and last time I used it it hurt me.

I think a few more than 2 people have said that now.

The idea is really cool. I thought the simplicity of the framework would mean there were lots of examples. Well, there are lots. But not one of them is working.

Uncaught TypeError: The specifier “lume-js” was a bare specifier, but was not remapped to anything. Relative module specifiers must start with “./”, “../” or “/”.

SQL named parameters was a feature introduced into PHP on 24th Nov 2005, with the release of PHP 5.1.0.

The author's idea is "A Simple, Radical Idea: Put Consent in the Browser". So when you set up your browser, you get a single choice of whether you want websites to track you and sell your data.

Here's an even more radical idea: the browser doesn't even ask you this, and by default it just respects the user's privacy and blocks all third party tracking.

Can you imagine an internet where the user is put first?

DNT is legally void in several US states because it was enabled by default.

If we do set up a browser-oriented solution, browsers like Firefox and Brave would default to the most privacy-friendly options practical, of course, but they already mostly do that anyway.

I've been trying to achieve the opposite of this project: render scenes in ASCII/ANSI in the style of old BBS terminal games. I've had terrible success so far. All the AI models I've tried only understand the concept of "pixel art" and not ASCII/ANSI graphics such as what can be seen on https://www.bbsing.com/ , https://16colo.rs , or on Reddit's r/ANSIart/ .

If anyone has any tips for how I could achieve this, I would love to hear your ideas.

I suspect you'll have much better luck directly implementing the style you want rather than trying to get a (current gen) AI to reliably generate ANSI art. This video is a nice overview of implementing a variation of the style in a post-processing shader:

Do you mean you want to use AI to generate new scenes in ANSI-art style, or do you mean you want to use AI to render pre-existing scenes as ANSI art?

like this https://asciiart.club/ ? you don't really need AI for that.

if you have to use AI diffusion models are a poor choice for the target. might be easier to train an LLM to output actual text art.

I love how you've kept it so simple, but it actually solves a real-world problem. Well done for releasing something!

Whenever Thunderbird makes its way to the front page of Hacker News, I always re-download it and hope that I can use it.

Every time I've ever tried it (spanning around 30 installs over the last 15 years), I've uninstalled within a week to a month, due to sluggish UI, phantom unread emails, crashes, and text formatting issues.

I do it because I believe that one day Thunderbird could be good. Today could be the day - I've installed it, added my accounts, and it looks like the developers have made some significant improvements. I'm not talking about fancy new features, instead I'm talking about the small nitpicky problems I've had whenever I've tried to use it.

For example, this time I installed, I didn't have to go into a hidden settings menu (here be dragons) to make new emails default to the top of lists. My replies are now made above the original message. Fastmail doesn't throw a wobbly when trying to add email, calendar and contacts with the same password.

Maybe today is the last time I install Thunderbird?

I don't have any of those issues, besides perhaps crashes but the last one must be two years ago (I remember because we're always watching for exploits coming in). Maybe nobody else has these issues you mention either. If you want them to be fixed by the next time you install, have you considered reporting the issue and seeing if there is a volunteer is willing to fix it for you?
