It's probably just that I've seen too many weird comments on here lately.

Looks like the decline started before the ai boom. I can relate. I was active there from 2009 until about 2014, which looks rather like a plateau in the graph. It still showed up in Google searches but I mostly just lost interest in partici

That hasn't been my experience at all. The quality of these things is absolutely terrible. Maybe if you have no taste and no actual skill, you can't tell the difference. The fact that you have chosen to say this about generated am

The linux kernel also has its own headers (IIRC it was something like <asm/unistd.h> and/or <sys/syscall.h>, but might depend on architecture and version) where it will provide the stub asm statements. In my memor

I can have a machine generated X server in assembly too. It's called cc -s. Or: $ objdump --disassemble /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg Maybe I'm getting too old for this, but I really don't see the point in ha

Phones are skimping on RAM lately because of the price spikes due to the AI boom. Phones and laptops are sometimes debuting with less RAM than their predecessors of the same brand.

replacements = { "seam": "whatchamacallit", That seems like it would work whatchamacallitlessly.

I had an edit in my comment about military spending being an exception but I decided to leave it out to not distract from the core idea. Though there is nuance there too, as some wasteful military spending seems to be more of a jobs program

Because Bill Clinton pushed Democrats rightwards with his electoral policy of "triangulation". That was the start of establishment Dems embracing Reaganomics.

Any time people talk about cutting government spending, they are exploiting naivety of the audience. When you actually cut, nobody likes it. There isn't really much waste in federal spending. Most programs are important to somebody for

I haven't really seen it as an acronym "UAF", but I can't recall the first time I heard "use after free". It was probably in the previous century. The idea that Claude came up with it is ridiculous.

I am fluent in both languages and I can't succinctly translate it. If I changed the meaning of the sentence, I could say, "can I study civil rights if I'm a lefty?" If it were text, I might give you the translation I alr

Coming late to this thread, but this is reminding me that many remote execution vulnerabilities have come from font rendering code paths. If there is a turing complete VM inside the font renderer that makes perfect sense. I'm not sure

Yeah that's weird. The instructions are not even hard to read. I don't understand what an LLM would add to this.

This is how well structured teams have worked for a long time. It sounds pretty similar, for example, to team structure ideas proposed by Fred Brooks in The Mythical Man Month from 1975 .

Came here to complain about this workflow too. If you don't want to resort to piracy, there are many vendors that sell epubs with weak DRM and presumably give money to publishers. Ebooks.com is one. If you have not already, I would rec

My point is that a succinct and correct translation for the pun does not exist in the target language.
140.
by asveikau 4mo ago
Puns generally do not translate well. Where they do, there needs to be a coincidence where words with multiple definitions happen to have the same meanings in both languages, or there happens to be a similar saying in the target language. O

It's funny that TFA seems to use the comparison to honey as disparagement, rather than interpret the same information as an endorsement of the helpfulness of honey.

I'll give you a very simple example I saw recently. I saw a dad joke in Spanish on social media and it gave me a chuckle. It was a comment to a lawyer's video and it translates to "can I study law if I'm a leftie?"

I don't know your history, but this sounds like a monolingual person not understanding and being arrogant about it. It's not a niche hobby if that's literally your life. Many people are not multilingual as a hobby, or as a ch

I think any multilingual person will be skeptical of your analysis. Translation is not a substitute for understanding the original. It's good that we have translations, but it isn't the same. As you get into consuming art, literat

I got a Quadra 650 (if memory serves) super cheap on eBay circa 2003 and put A/UX on it successfully. I still have that machine but it hasn't been powered on in quite some time.

I think I wrote this in an HN comment before, but knowing what I do about linguistics and people, I think some of the AI writing styles will be re-enforced and organically more popular even for human authored writing over the next few years

I haven't lived in Seattle since 2011. I remember Belltown having one or two blocks that felt a little spotty or like you wanted your guard up, but the rest of it was thoroughly gentrified by the time I left, and it was a common choice

The neighborhoods they built that stuff in (mostly South Lake Union and Denny Triangle) used to be so sleepy in 2010 and earlier. It was a big transformation.

HN becoming anthropic support would certainly explain a lot of threads and comments I've seen here lately. Thank you for this.

I haven't been following the latest developments but about 10 years ago they launched "Vespa elettrica". It was very expensive and low powered at launch. Not sure if they've iterated on it since. I suspect that other bra
