How do you make sure the tagging of elements is robust? With regular browser automation it's quite hard to write selectors that will keep working after webpages get updated; often when writing E2E testing teams end up putting [data] at

I just don't understand why AI is so polarising on a technology website. OpenAI have even added a feature to make the completions from GPT near-deterministic (by specifying a seed). It seems that no matter what AI companies do, there w

It's staggering to me that people on Hacker News are actually downvoting people saying how AI is boosting productivity or levering business or engineering or finance. The denial, cynicism and sheer wilful ignorance is actually depr

I love Karpathy. He's like a classical polymath, a scholar and a teacher.

How is changing a software licence unenforceable?
879.
by davedx 2y ago
Of course, projects change their licences all the time, why wouldn't it be legal? There's a long history of startups who started with open source/open core gradually closing off or commercialising the licence. This isn't

It is changing now though. TenneT now has some huge projects coordinated with the Ministry for Economic Affairs. All the doom and gloom is unhelpful, the Netherlands has come a long way in the last 10 years and we should celebrate the victo

I think there's always been a tension at Apple between keeping everything as locked down as possible and opening up parts because they need the developer driven app ecosystem. My prediction is Neural Engine is going to become more usef

No I mean... light is emitted from the singularity (because it's an incredibly super dense piece of something star-like). It shines outwards, losing momentum, and at the event horizon it bends back around and falls back down into the

Not everything has to be solved by regulators. The walled garden is way more important to fix than arbitrary hardware configurations

Nobody is replying with any concrete proofs or references for this, so I will remain sceptical about it :)

by davedx 2y ago
Really? Do you have a proof for this? The maths doesn't make sense to me, you're inside the boundary where gravity causes light to fall back towards the singularity
890.
by davedx 2y ago
This is an awesome simulation but what I don't understand is why you wouldn't see any light from the singularity once you're inside the event horizon. Why is it completely black in there? Surely that's not correct? I get

:be_flag_emoji: Belgian Dutch :nl_flag_emoji: Dutch Dutch This doesn't make sense. The language is the same in each country, it uses the same official rules and grammar. Pairing languages with countries is just incorrect.

Yeah, also it takes 3 years to build. I predict that there will be so much more lithium-ion batteries deployed by the time this is finished that it will change the economics of operating it.

Yeah, I have to wonder how it compares to pumped hydro operationally too. They talk about capital costs but didn't explore what opex would be like at all. I would think with heat, air and water (as opposed to water in pumped hydro), ma

Only if the symbols make sense and there's a one-to-one relationship. This is a good move by Apple. Also, as a color blind person it is quite frustrating when people make content and use a flag emoji instead of a country name. Often mo

Wow this is about as cynical as it’s possible to be about real, tangible technological progress. I strongly disagree with the authors conclusions about the technologies and the premise. This is truly peak HN content.
