Ah darn. Yeah that is a tricky space, I'm curious to find if there's an incantation to make it actually do the right thing... But knowing next to nothing of your domain makes that impossible for me :P I will note ChatGPT isn'

This is very outside my domain :P I asked ChatGPT to explain the acronyms in your comment and still do not understand it. But I think a reason LLMs might struggle is that there are too many up front complex requirements. Giving it only 1 or

I think this has always been a problem; eg the students who do all their assignments in groups and coast through with a cursory understanding of their degree. Or those who cheat. If someone doesn't want to learn, there have always been

That's a very long video you've linked to :P could you talk about why multiple dispatch reminds you of that talk?

I mean, the article addresses exactly your point like one line down? > In a separate interview last week, Zuckerberg said “the average American has three friends, but has demand for 15” and AI could plug that gap. And I think we should d

I don't think that's quite true; even a system you don't understand has observable behaviour. And you can roll back to a certain state that doesn't exhibit the undesirable observable behaviour. If anything, most things i

Yeah I think there is plenty of room for good discussion here, but using that quote without context is misleading. And the faulty model was pulled after only a few days of being out, iirc. It definitely does speak to the necessity of nuance

That is a very cool UI; super fun to just hit random and find new niche genres/styles. I'd never heard of klezmer, for example, but such a nice style! I don't know if it's the music, but it's been a while since a we

I'm not sure if it needs to be at the syntax level, but I think having built in standard library support for graphs (general trees) would help make graphs more common in programming. And seeing how powerful they are, I think that would

I would also recommend using Microsoft Edge's built-in ReadAloud (TTS) on standard ebooks. They have a mind boggling number of hyper realistic voices; more than any other browser I've tested.

Or to clarify, I don't think one can be in deep flow eg programming and simultaneously in deep flow having an aural conversation; we're human we can't truly multitask. But I do think that if you're focusing on something

Completely agree, voice UI is best as an augmentation of our current HCI patterns with keyboard/mouse. I think one of the reasons this is, is because our brains kind of have separate buffers for visual memory and aural memory (Baddeley

Wow! I'm glad I asked, that sounds awesome. I hope you get a chance to do a writeup with some screenshots at the the end of it; that would make for a great read. Do you have any code public yet? And TIL about elk! I've had kind of

Hmm interesting; I wonder what a sort of weighted rating might look like, where the more similar another user is to you, the more weight their rating/review gets. That way everyone sees a custom rating, that's more akin to "w

Same! My understanding of migraines is that it's something to do with blood pressure in your head. My hypothesis is that the visual disturbances are your blood vessels dilating and pressing against your retina. Then I think it can caus

Where did you find benchmarks for OCR tools? There have been so many OCR engines coming lately, I would love to see benchmarks!

Strong agree, you have to keep selection bias in mind. But I would expect news reporting to not be the exact opposite of what was being proposed in the comment -- bias and all!

by cdrini 2y ago
Fascinating! Well if y'all haven't already, it would be great if you could publish a study of your findings; what you're describing is basically the exact opposite of what I expected based on other reporting.

I don't think this is true, I've only ever seen women talk about losing money due to romance scams on the news. Do you have any citations?

Hmm I'm a bit confused by your question. Emojis are a Unicode range, and the only way Unicode is displayed on a monitor is through -- a font. So just like with text, if a website doesn't load it's own font, the OS-level fonts

I will note that hacker news, unlike most sites, has a pretty well-defined set of criteria for what they're looking for, as defined on their guidelines page: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html . They expl

Well, perhaps, that's one way to look at it, but I don't think it's the only way. By sharing your experiences you can also help others who might be feeling the same way but who aren't able to put their thoughts/feel
