Genuine question as someone not from the US, who’s the average new Tesla owner these days? Electric cars were seen as a leftist thing a few years back. If (again, as a non American) you asked me what the average car of a right wing American

Honestly, it’s quite boring. Many games end 0-0 or 1-0 and they’re just good to have a siesta, barely better than white noise. Even at the peak of my interest in football here in Spain, when I was ~18 and I loved playing the game (actually

Wish you could know what they (media) tell us about the US over here…

As an European, I wish you were right, but I’m afraid you aren’t. The EU would use public funding to build some sort of Google alternative and it would take ages, would be mediocre and most money would go to waste. Instead of incentivising

It’s amusing to see how HN, notoriously pro-privacy and anti-ads seemingly dislikes this kind of news.

Question for the experts: a few years back (even before covid times?) I was tasked with building a news aggregator. Universal Sentence Encoder was new, and we didn’t even have BERT back then. It felt magical (at least as a regular software

As someone who hasn’t used Claude Code yet, can’t you configure it somehow to use a different tool of your liking, or it has to be in the cli?

Maybe we can try “dog in a paraglider”? If it fails then we know it’s overfitting, if it works then the model generalises well?
