It did one more weird thing where it seemed to lose the ability to count in order: ===== You're right that hard per-action gating causes loops. So rather than block the model, make the harness own the critical structure deterministic

Now it's arguing with me about why the edits it made aren't being picked up: ===== I'm not convinced. I didn't run it until you told me it was all fixed up. I tried running it with this path instead (base) spike

I was happily plodding away with it earlier when it threw this out in the middle of a response in Claude code: --- So — what did you actually see before you hit Ctrl-C? That's the信号 I'm most curious about, and it tells us what to

the second sequence in the first example starts: 1047085,1047276,1047471 in the second example it starts: 1047085,1047276,1017471 The 3rd element is different.

Also, the one for gb shows Northern Ireland. Great Britain doesn't include any of the Irish island. That would be the United Kingdom. There's a quick overview showing the differences here: http://resources.woodlands-jun

The article states in the very first paragraph : "Let me tell you a little about the truck driver you just flipped off because he was passing another truck, and you had to cancel the cruise control and slow down until he completed the pass

Google Chrome has a built in (ok, a plug-in, but I think it's there by default) pdf viewer. Works pretty well for me.

In most EU countries people can be placed in a psychiatric facility against their will if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Paranoid schizophrenics are probably the most well known group who are likely to end up involu

Not necessarily. I just finished optimizing an AES implementation where some of the functions are called hundreds of thousands of times when decrypting a 300k payload. In cases like that, micro-optimization is not at all pointless unless yo

I don't think he means the site itself, rather the sites linked from there under the awards section.

Correction, password reset does appear to be working, it's just taking about half an hour for the emails to arrive. Maybe a mail queue setting?

Password reset still isn't working. It says an email has been sent, but emails aren't arriving. Also, from another comment, HN usernames are case sensitive, so making them all lowercase will most likely cause problems sooner or later.

I like the idea of the site, but it should be opt out by default for anything you scraped from the spreadsheet. Once someone claims their password, they can decide what info to display if any. Scraping user data from one site and putting it

They don't give away the IDE, but the SDK and command line compiler is available here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sd... There are also a few open source editor/IDE options here: http://osflash.org/projects

Simon St. Laurent has an interesting analysis and commentary on the whole debacle: http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2010/02/the-widening-html5-chas... It seems that the whole HTML5 standards process was broken from the start and is likely to

FTA: "Bars are wonderful at segmenting by demographic. Match the bar you’re going to with the user population you want to target. Different bars will produce slightly different results but the variation is not huge."

The problem wasn't with performance in general, it was with hardware decoding of H.264 video. I don't believe anything has changed on that front. The core animation change is supposed to help with vector graphics rendering.

In response to one rather trollish comment on HN, Spikefu says: === [Adobe can't fix what they can't reproduce. I'm sure they work very hard to eliminate any and all instability from the Flash Player on all platforms. If they don't, they en

Yes, I did consider that his health might also be an explanation. Probably should have mentioned that. Regardless, the impression I get from watching the demo is still the same.

I worked on a Flash EMAR app that was deployed on touchscreen tablet PCs. You don't need to worry about how to do mouse over unless your app needs mouse over support. As long as your app can work with click and double-click you are fine. Fe

WTF? I'm seriously confused here. Is this the same guy who thumbed his nose at Microsoft and instigated the creation Mono? If so, isn't he at least a little conflicted about the closed nature of the platform?

Right, and that's part of the problem. The whole culture and language are so alien to most people that it is incredibly hard to map concepts. As far as I can tell the only non-native speaker who is actually fluent is Daniel Everett. Given t

Given that even after several studies, linguists can't even seem to agree whether or not the language has the concept of one and two, saying it's "easy to talk around missing concepts" is glossing over just how hard this language really is

I'm amazed that the Pirahã language isn't listed. From what I've read it is at least as hard as any language there, in large part because the Pirahã tribe don't have any cultural concept of numbers, distant past, fixed color names and a who
