Indeed. I feel that although many people try to learn new languages, the intellectual stimulation provided by doing so is understated. Especially learning languages very different from your native language (grammatically, morphologically, e

I only use LLMs for explaining things if the subject is one I’m deeply familiar with and can independently and easily verify the facts. Doing so with new knowledge areas is very risky for obvious reasons. For example, “explain how the code

If our govt officials are willing to betray their citizens for money to China, what’s the point of preferring to give them power over us instead of giving it to China?

In my experience, Gemini 3.x wasn’t just getting a bad rap, it was significantly worse in practice. It could analyze codebases and report back from a one-shot prompt as good as Claude or Codex but any slightly complex task that carried on f

That might be his reason but Prof. Yaghi is from a Palestinian refugee family and born in Jordan. There are probably more than a few reasons he might not feel welcome in the US at the moment.

Hi, I had a quick look through your blog via google translate and fwiw, you seem like a very talented developer to me. Speaking as someone from the US (originally from continental Asia) in a very similar situation to yours (except for the A

Ah, the old “only western people have morals, everyone else just cares about how it looks” argument. And where did you get this super objective assessment that eastern peoples only care about “saving face”? Couldn’t be a stereotype populari

Any large government project in Egypt is a project of the Egyptian military. That’s the result of being under a military dictatorship with a fake civilian president.

This almost happened to me 4-5 years ago. I don’t recall every detail but right around the time I was deep into a new job interview process, Google Pay decided it needed to verify my identity. It may have been triggered by one of my cards e

And you’ll never know because even if you could turn back time and do it from scratch, you’re likely to opt again not to do it all manually because the cognitive load is going to keep tempting you to reach for the agent again.

The argument is flawed, there is no logical reason to assume a single prompt won’t be sufficient to constitute the complexity of a software project. It may not be practical in many cases but there is too much variability in what is consider

One could think it’s a software package or library related to a mathematical or other abstract concept. The names of some libraries are sometimes pretty close to the names of the original concept, it’s not too much of a stretch to think it

That’s the inevitable result of machines being invented that can largely do our jobs. Just like how artisanal products are often prized over factory productions. The effort put in to and the organic quality of products have pretty much alwa

There is no path back. Even if the next administration overturns ICE and its activities and dissolves all contracts related to them, there is no reason to think the US govt will not keep using any and all technologies or services obtained i

The vast majority of real world ML code today is written in languages like Python and C++. Relatively few people outside of academia and online forums are functional language enthusiasts. The industry is also looking like most actual coding

If I recall correctly, warp is older than ghostty. Warp became popular because it was one of the well maintained rust-based terminals, and it had some simple AI features like completions and natural language command recognition. That’s why

I didn’t say it wasn’t factually correct. I assumed it was mostly correct, perhaps a bit sensationalist for comedic purposes. I found it quite funny actually. My answer above was just that it was not actually written by the Elsevier company

That’s not a reply, it’s sarcasm by the same poster pretending to speak for the publisher as a joke.

Not everyone has to subscribe to your philosophy, weird I know.

This entire thread is making clear that constructivists want to speak on behalf of everyone while in the real word the vast majority of mathematicians or logicians don’t belong to their niche school of mathematics/philosophy.

First big disaster of its kind directly resulting in death, almost certain to get more attention. Plus it allowed for substantial propaganda points (probably well deserved) against the USSR during the Cold War, their opponents would have be

Same here, loved the idea since I was a kid and I spend a lot more money on gadgets than I probably should but somehow managed to avoid getting a smartwatch because it doesn’t do anything a smartphone does better. I just wear a simple casio

When terrorists like the Trump administration openly admit to it in some cases and threaten to do it in others, and we see the evidence, it’s easy to believe our eyes and ears over your fantasies.

Not just HN, just about all social media except far-right Trumpist echo-chambers have been calling it a Iran win or at least a US loss.

What do jewish supremacists think of non-jews? See? I can play the whataboutism game too. Anti-Americanism might just be because of the repeated wars of aggression that harms the rest of the world.
