this is a good article, but this part near the end is a bit off: > ...as a market matures, solutions become specialized and modular. We've already seen this begin to happen in a few areas of "social coding." Jira and Linea

Am i missing something, or is this useless when you want to refer to an equation from "the past"? I find myself doing that often. For example a methods section might pose an optimization problem, then the experiments section a pag

The link to "Microsoft's driver verification tool", which "has probably had more impact than all formal chip design tools combined", is broken. Does anyone know which tool this meant?

Your response seems to assume that "XY-probing" responses are equally good as straightforward responses, but they aren't. If your question is solid, it's really annoying when others try to XY-probe it instead of answerin

Any physical system that makes/breaks contact, such as walking robots. Sure, the foot is not perfectly rigid and technically is a stiff spring. But from a computational perspective, problems still bear all the hallmarks of a discontinu

I think the "mass" they are referring to might the mass of the Bayesian posterior in parameter space, not the mass of the data in event space.

Sure, LLMs are like 1024-gram Markov chains (or whatever the context limit is). But there are problems: 1) the transition matrix is far too huge to represent, and 2) it treats all pairs of 1024-grams as completely different, even if the fir

The HN post title should probably not include "non-painful" given that the README never uses that phrase or compares against other plotting libraries.
