   I don’t build software, not for many years. And I have monetized individual patents. Folks, we are just having fun here. Making fun of me. But not for making HN comments that aren’t as well written as you think they should be. For having cr

   And of course if your input form gives the user any help when they are filling it out, then you can run in to a problem where users choose ABBA more often than Aerosmith or Argent, (more often than they would have), based just on how ABBA i

   My algorithm was pretty similar to yours I’m guessing. (See my other long post here.) I described mine to a friend one time and he called it “toothpick AI”.

   I created one of the systems that competed with Ringo / Firefly. It was a great experience, and a long story that I hope to write up fully some day. A short summary: I had The Similarities Engine up on the very early web for a couple o

    Looks like it might still be struggling with the HN hug. I tried it, I gave it three easy topics to use, it understood them and tried to produce the web page, but it still says “Videos: 0” for all three groups. You can still get your fix in

    I bet that last word is ROT13! We can crack it now! And maybe the second to last is “like”.

    I put in my own domain name, and got a link on the https://cheap-bitcoin.online domain. Then I sent the full url it gave me to VirusTotal, and one site reported it as malware! Hilarious, this is great.

    Hey, good stuff, well done. What else can be done from the registry there? Can I make it stop searching inside .doc* files etc and make it only do filename search there ala Everything?

    So the app is free to download from the Apple site, and will run free, and is open source, but you have in-app purchases, and certain features can’t be used until you pay for them, is that right? What are the paid features and what are the

    One thing I watched closely for in interviews is the moment when an applicant said “I don’t know.” I have not had great experiences with tech co-workers who are incapable of saying that.

    The hostility of your reply seemed much more Facebook than OP’s post seemed LinkedIn.

    I’d rate this comment a “10”, ha. Good stuff, I’m with you on that road. I especially like OP’s point #1. “I know I did x, sorry about that” is so much more powerful than “Sorry you let yourself get upset that I did x”.

    Right on. A sign of intelligence but more importantly of bravery, and generosity. A person that asks good questions in a class improves the class drastically, and usually learns more effectively than other students in the class.

    Is there reason you couldn’t generate your images by grabbing random rectangles of pixels from one source image and pasting it into a random location in another source image? Then you would have a fully valid jpg that no AI could easily suc

    Great work, great memories on the Lisa. But sheesh! The first time I play the numbers puzzle on a computer in my life, and the first time in 30 years that I play it at all, and I find out some joker has snapped two of the pieces out and rev

    Make a couple of them using Rolexes in a cube shape, and somebody would pay lots to have them as "fuzzy dice" to hang from the rear view mirror of their high end car. But seriously, it doesn't have to be displayed with subtle

    How many breaths do I have to take, to pull in an oxygen atom that used to be part of a dinosaur, and was also in Caesar’s last breath? Could we turn this number into a unit of measure, so we can name it the…Caesaur? Caesarasaur?

    Thank you so much for these posts! It makes me very optimistic about the future. For the longest time we all watched from the sidelines, hoping that the desire to turn off coal-fired power plants, and research often funded by tax dollars, w
