Ah, that's a fancy trick! I remember many a time making Linux real angry with my PCIe fiddling. I believe in the end we got Partial Reconfiguration set up, where the PCIe portion of the device would not be reprogrammed but we could rel

One of the tactics I end up using in Verilog, for better or worse, is to define enums with a'0 value (repeat 0s for the size of the variable), and '1 value (repeat 1s for the size of the value) '0 stays as "null"-li

I don't know a word or phrase for this, but I really enjoy any examples of "thinking outside the box" like this because it's something I struggle with in my professional career. Learning not only the right ways to solve

It's funny because in that last sentence I think you're describing something like in the article. "Holding the door open" might not be something that people do to strictly have the potential to hold the door open for a C

One thing my mom (an occupational therapist) brought up when seeing this was the potential applications for therapy. I'm not sure of the nuances, but one concept that comes to mind is that you could increase force on a user such that y

I believe I read a science fiction book around this topic. Postsingular by Rudy Rucker I believe, related to nanotechnology. Can't remember most of it, but delved a little into how it affects relationships re: every thing being visible

Gotchagotcha, so yeah, to some extent eliminates the time taken to highlight individual brackets at the cost of adding some visual complexity. Thanks.

In just basic Vim, there's highlighting such that if the cursor is over a start bracket (or end bracket), the opposite bracket is highlighted. I do find that very helpful indeed to find matching brackets (or where a bracket is missing)

Is there an adaptation of Bayesian statistics that also takes into account timeliness of the data ? e.g. a more recent string of negative reviews would potentially indicate something compared to a more smooth distribution

That white, black, and red image is amazing! I remember a post here about optimizing 1 bit black and white images some time ago, which also was amazing, but it's crazy the colors that seem to pop out of that image when just adding red

One thought that came to mind when the author mentioned that GPT-4 seemed to want to use A* was that maybe the problem statement was not formed in a way that would get the best response. I'm not entirely sure if this type of back and f

I feel like humans in general work fairly well when story or myth is tied to an explanation, but can understand that's not for everyone. I'm reminded of oral histories that humans make in order to warn about tsunamis. Her linking

Thanks, I'm sure Signal devs to some extent look at HN, but was looking for a way to concretely let them know about the potential damage I see this causing.

Makes me think of potentially using sound as a way for humans to conceptualize higher dimensional spaces. I feel very bound to 3 dimensional visualizations frequently and often wish that conceptualizing that next step to even 4 dimensional

Ah makes sense it'd be something that would be useful to track and then provides information that people can arbitrage. I had tried some initial URL hacking that didn't work, but think I found the set here: https://usda

Definitely some interesting info. Has this been produced for previous years? I'm intrigued how the sentiment in the weather highlights might have changed over time.

This is a fascinating use case that wouldn't have occurred to me at all, quite cool, even if it "doesn't know anything about anything at all". It even does pretty good with Verilog, which I assumed it would have issues w

I think there's been a fair amount of discussion about the interplay between quantum and classical computing. It feels like it may be better to think of things as a collaborative environment in that algorithms found via quantum computi

Apologies for the naivety of this question, but it's it possible to "wean" yourself off of Google (or any one income source)? that is, maybe "pretend" that by default you're only receiving 50% of your total inc

I think to some extent it's a frame of mind thing. For instance, my friend's vacuum broke for some reason or another, some plastic piece that wasn't super complicated, but was required for functionality. And rather than buyin

Making an assumption here about Proxima Centauri's own Oort Cloud, but seems like if it's the same size as ours, they'd overlap? Seems like a potentially interesting way for "stuff" to get transferred from one solar

Took me a bit, but that's definitely a depressing read. Useful though. Makes me think of how a civilization survives when problems are "caused" by lack of knowledge (profit motive complicates things as well), but that knowled

One thing sort of related to language that I see (as an entire outside observer to the field) as being required is some sort of shared communication 'channel'. Biological life works with atoms to form proteins that seem to do much

Language is pretty fun. My favored multi-contraction is y'all'r'nt, similar in flavor of feeling natural/fun to say and use, but looking really ridiculous written out (not even sure I've even done it right...) I fee
