That blackbox being their entire moat, I would assume they'd never want to open-source any function. Mathematica as a front-end has innumerable frustrating bugs, but its CAS is top-notch. Especially combined with something like Rubi fo

This is mindblowingly beautiful! Thanks for making this. Many a times, I open YouTube, get overwhelmed by repeated recommendations that I had already decided not to watch, and eventually close without watching much. Now that this site puts

It's a numbers game in the end. Law of large numbers at play again. The noise drops with more tries. I suppose the corporate culture thinking is exactly opposite to this with metrics like efficiency, productivity etc. You cannot afford

All these feel good articles are very ideal in nature, I feel. Not to be the doomsayer, but without a solid backup of resources (be it money, power or some such thing), I find it hard to imagine to be this 'careless' towards retur

This is pretty typical of life in small villages across southeast Asia, especially towns along the coast have fish/cashew nuts lady as opposed to the yogurt lady. She was the local news representative and also the beacon of acceptable

Quite offtopics: 1. For a site visited by millions, a header element (perhaps h2, h3, h4) followed by a paragraph has such less spacing, it looks weird and hard to read. 2. There is an interesting question at the end [0]: Can you reactivate

Perhaps you'd like if the "green" blob for friend also included a "+" symbol and "red" one a "-"?

Agreed! I thought this site was generated in Hugo for some reason. Never knew Lisp was used until I saw that GitHub you linked.

Nice article! The upshot is that the boom of Chinese commodity prices in the mid-2010s is what stopped poor countries from catching up. That's a high level answer, but there's more nuance to it. In many places, I firmly believe th

I liked the new guidelines given here [1]. However, I disagree with the protein target recommendation. Feels way too much for a normal healthy adult with reasonable activity. > Protein target: 1.2–1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight p

But this is also quite cool! These kind of articles are what makes HN interesting and fun.

This discourse in the comments reminded me of co-operative game strategies, a multi-party Prisoner's dilemma in some sense. If you want to see this in action amongst a group of individuals, you might enjoy this game by Tom Scott [1]. [

Wait, so how is it fitting properly? 28*13 = 364, but I don't see a day missing. What am I not understanding?

Thank you for saying this. I found it to be heavily assisted by LLM too and commented as well. I ended up receiving too many downvotes though.

Not that alone. But the way sentences are formed, add it with those frequent pauses, punchlines that are punchy for the sake of it, and that last AI generated image --- all point at an inorganic article. I was just pointing it out, I do not

Tried to read through the article, but couldn't finish. I felt this writing heavily alluded to a ChatGPT generated response. Too many punchlines and paragraph breaks.

Crazy! Brought back the summers of my childhood where I mindlessly roamed around the Vice City with my custom MP3 list of songs. For so long, I was stuck on flying the RC helicopter in an abandoned skyscraper level. It has been years, and n

While this was a free service and thus Google is under no obligation to continue offering this service, this is still quite sad. They could have atleast bundled it for some tier of Google One paid subscription.

As someone who has lived in Rochester recently, I am incredibly curious to hear from folks who saw the peak of the city. I often hear of Kodak and Xerox providing hefty bonuses which also made the local businesses offer deals then for a bet

I echo your sentiments on smartphone addiction problem. But I don't understand why you wouldn't buy it although this is in the same spirit of shaking up the duopoly you alluded to.

Sorry, did you read the article? I understood the premise as whatever the society evolves to, the kids will figure it out and will be alright.
