This is YoY change. It's impossible to read. And it only goes back to 2016.

Does anyone know how they can detect hardware defects like this? This sounds like an incredibly hard problem. And I don’t see how they can do this without impacting performance significantly.

Not my experience. I once hacked a spreadsheet in a week that was good enough to not embark on a multiple-months 3-devs project. In the same team, I tweaked a configuration file for distributed calculations that shaved 2 minutes of calculat

okay fine, technically you need a TIN number which for most of US citizens is going to be their SSN. There, happy?

I think you got me wrong. I was saying in France everyone has a photo id for government stuff. You pay taxes to the government so yeah you need some form of ID just for the government to know who’s paying the taxes. in the US you use social

whatever man. Everyone in France has an ID. It's no big deal, really.

I have two as well, L4 and L5. I think that herniated discs are not all the same. I am no expert but I think people should be careful depending on which face the hernia is protruding to, and that they don't require the same kind of exe

Age and identity verification can and should be done at the country level. France has an ID service to pay taxes, and they have a network of possible ID verification systems. Like, you can ID through the tax system, or through the healthcar

They’re in /shownew. the last 30 Show HN submissions were sent in the last two hours. I think that’s a lot more than what we used to see.

by d--b 7mo ago
The issue is that there is more HN submissions than the community is able to process. But you could say the same of the front page, which is mostly a fairly small sample of the good stuff that go through /new So you could treat Show HN

What do you think could be going, seriously? Obviously Altman agreed to whatever they asked him and is lying that the DoW is cool about the red lines.

Oh look! Altman just made a deal with the DoW

At this stage, everything OpenAi does is to try to keep investors investing. They’re willing to let their brand go to trash for this government contract. Pretty much every American is standing with Anthropic on this. No one left or right wa

So the DoW is angry because it can’t use the model produced by what they call a woke radical left company? And nobody in the administration is concerned at all that the model itself might be somewhat against their own views? If it was so ra

Owning it doesn’t make it less of a shit move. Canning people when you do well is just a way to milk the cow that others raised for you. Plus it shows a blatant lack of imagination and foresight. I just hope the remaining employees realize

maybe Portugal’s Pastel de Nata falls in the dark zone? It’s a baked custard (so plenty of eggs) in a pie. not sure the proportions match.

Worth noting that it’s not a winner-takes all situation. There’s definitely space for differentiation. Anthropic is in favor with developers and generally tech people, while OpenAi / Gemini are more commonly used by regular folks. And

yeah it’s definitely a genre in itself. It’s like there are 2 axes: - cool technique and - cool picture. The second is way more important than the first, which is way painters are still on top of the 2D art world. Some people can do both th

Large companies cut deals with the government all the time. When a large company wants to create a new plant somewhere, they go shopping for what state/city will give them the most favorable tax. Politicians throw in special exemptions

My wild guess is that Cook cut a deal with the IRS so that they build in the US, but get tax benefits other companies don't get, so that it looks good on the administration - like the tariffs are working - and still benefits Apple. I d

I just love everything about this. I love that kids could be left alone in their home and would burn plastic over a gas stove to create models of roller coasters. I love that Disney would respond to him and not even forget the typo in quadr

This should be coined the Daniel Kahneman reasoning test, mirroring his 2011 book "thinking fast and slow", which postulates that fast thinking and slow thinking occur in different parts of the brain, and that they are fundamental

Well another consequence of that is that you’re going to have a lot more tools to maintain. And LLMs aren’t half as good as maintaining code as they are to generate it in the first place. At least yet.

I don’t understand this. Age verification is not more difficult than a payment system. I mean, if I can pay on a website without the website to know my credit card number, I should be able to prove my age without the website to know anythin

This is just weird. I mean… Spending tax dollars so that foreigners can watch porn without age verification sounds like a bad use of budget.
