I remember playing a game called Caesar when I was a kid. I think games like that would be even better if they featured anthropomorphic characters—I love watching little figures go about their lives in my world from a "god's-eye" perspective.

I simply use an embedding model followed by a simple MLP, and that’s enough to solve many text classification problems.

I really like this idea; I think it’s very helpful for those quick videos where someone just talks to the camera, though the final result could be a bit smoother.

Based on my tests, a frame rate of 2fps is generally sufficient to resolve video content very well.

Whenever I see topics about China on HN, I get this strong sense of unease. The reality is that most people don't actually understand China; when they think of it, they just imagine a country where 'people work like expressionless machines under the CCP’s high-pressure rule.' In truth, a nation of 1.4 billion is far more diverse than people imagine, and the public discourse and civic consciousness here are much more complex. Chinese people aren't 'brainwashed'; they’ve simply accepted a different political system—one that certainly has its share of problems, but also its benefits. But that’s not the whole story. You shouldn't try to link every single topic back to the political system. Look at the other, more interesting things going on.

Every now and then, news like this pops up and sparks some discussion. But in reality, I believe any internet-based business—every single app to some extent—tracks users in this way. It’s just the nature of the internet.

I keep seeing people talk a lot about edge AI — just curious, aside from those experimental or toy projects, are there any real killer use cases out there?
