I find it more accurate to refer to " A Turing Test" as opposed to " The Turing Test" for that reason. It's just one loosely-defined test; necessary but not sufficient.

Yeah, the big bad AI made you plagiarize a whole project down to the name, and lie to everyone about the review process. Not buying any of it.

The article gets things flatly wrong from its first, ah, assertion. Asserts aren't for validation: the condition is supposed to be impossible to be false, just not provable by the type system. If invalid input can come through norm

I'm thinking of making a mobile game that's a clicker or something completely not roguelike, naming it "Roguelike Roguelike", and ensuring that the word "roguelike" appears in every sentence of the description.

437 days in LEO that is, where they're still protected from like 90% of cosmic rays. Hauling enough shielding is going to take a lot of energy, and inadequate shielding is worse than none.

Using emoji for status indicators on the console is a trend that pre-dates LLMs. First mainstream app I can recall doing it was Yarn.

I remember receiving a genuine "verify your account" email from PayPal way back. The phishers didn't make it up, they were just copying actual emails PayPal sent their own users.

I believe "money good" is YC's only guiding principle. HN is a nice resource, but let's not have any illusions about the morals of the owners.

I'd say dump it in the ocean, but I don't guess any boat will take it. Still, sounds like they're going to make the area around the landfill stink forever.

After trying a Tailwind-adjacent library myself (UnoCSS) I came to the conclusion that it's awful, but it's the least awful among worse alternatives. Having gone through BEM, I have no desire to go back there. Layers, modules, a

More like Star Trek turbolifts. Make them grab the handle first for that TOS feel.

r/PHP literally sees multiple of these every week. To demonstrate the imagination that goes into the naming, there's another one out there called Yerd.

If you could successfully write Tetris in Malbolge, I would call that impressive indeed. Just writing Hello World was a major effort IIRC. The nature of the malbolge interpreter makes it more of a cryptography exercise than a coding one.

Framing everything as a binary win/lose outcome is pretty naïve no matter how much terminology you dress it up with. Also, complaining about downvotes is a good way to attract downvotes.

To say nothing of `bun install` being about 50 times faster than npm, and disabling most post-install hooks by default.

I never used to be an old.reddit die-hard, but new got so bad it chased me there to where I now use a browser extension to redirect all reddit links to old. I was convinced that the website continued to get worse so they could steer you in

Lots of software licenses have “non-compete” clauses that forbid you from using it to develop a competing product. Wouldn’t surprise me if there was a compiler or two out there with that restriction, most likely niche languages.

I would agree that turing-complete config is more trouble than it's worth when the config is something you might need to reason over, such as a build definition in Gradle. But for something like a window manager config where everyone&

I wouldn't say text/template is terribly weird per se, and it's quite reminiscent of Jinja. But what is awful is using a text templating language to generate yaml with the correct level of indentation, and that's where

Gotta say, I like most of the effects except for the wiggly "membrane" on inputs and buttons: I'd prefer to see the the whole thing jiggle when clicked or focused, rather than a small circle, and to turn off the effect entire

Gehenna was well-known in the oral tradition of Jews and Muslims long before the 1600s. The whole "lake of fire" thing appears in the Book of Revelation, is very unambiguously referred to as such in the Greek text, and that'
