TBH I think you may just have a sampling problem - the JS and Python spaces have two of the messiest package-management ecosystems.

The claims of "solve NP problems in linear time" appear to come with a giant gotcha: they involve allowing the number of membranes to grow exponentially with the problem size! For instance, see: https://www.cs.auckland.

The author defines "metaverse" so broadly that they count Roblox and Minecraft players in their "520m total users". If it's _that_, then there's no reason for the press to even write articles about it - games h

If you don't understand the language it's translating into, how do you tell if the result is "high-quality" or not? ChatGPT will merrily hallucinate plausible nonsense pretty frequently...

Buying replacement ac adapters, when that is possible, is usually extremely expensive. Can you provide an example? Apart from some kind of weird branded adapter, I find this implausible: I can find dozens of both model-specifi

What's the intended syntax for a WHERE clause connecting two columns with an operator? There are three different shapes in the examples: * in "predicate1" around "groupedField4", a special "valueSource" ke

Kid's got a bright future in the crypto community: he's already got the blatant self-promotion and stream-of-conciousness bullshit-generation down pat.

Not consistently, not all the time, but often enough that there is something there. This is like deciding that a parrot that occasionally produces a relevant response is capable of understanding spoken English: it's an il

Can somebody fix the title? GANs (generative adversarial networks) and GaN (gallium nitride) are both topics that come up on HN, but this article is about the latter.

I wonder if anybody's tried automating this approach now that CNC tools are readily available (compared to 1999).

The question is about writing Lisp code and nothing more Adoption is not about "writing more code", and if it was than surely Lisp would have a giant head-start being 60+ years old. A more promising place to start would

Hilariously, I suspect an algorithm like ChatGPT is likely to reproduce the ACTUAL argument Fermat thought he had when he left that note in the margin - prove the theorem for n=3 and perform induction by the "and then obviously yada ya

While writing it, we use many sources and fail to keep a record of all the references. Have you considered... NOT doing that? ChatGPT is happy to make up completely bogus references, for instance see: https://news

One thing I wish this article had tried: adding _restrictions_ like "no cheese" to the input. That kind of input confuses the image models pretty badly - for instance, asking Stable Diffusion for a picture with no giraffes will us

The tools can _answer_, but they tend to hallucinate functions and arguments that seem plausible but are wrong upon closer inspection. This output is an example: the generator made up an option for Macro.escape and completely misunderstood

They're not wrong, a tool like this would have been totally impractical in 2003. For instance, it's currently consuming 70% of a 2.7GHz i7 core while idling with the demo project loaded; that would have MELTED a machine in 2003! :

IMO this omits the biggest factor: because most car manufacturers are absolutely AWFUL at building software that works well. I've got a Honda that's one model year too old to support CarPlay. It instead only supports "HondaLi
