What? VC-backed is all about the strategy Unity is employing: capture the market and enshittify afterwards. They literally can't "be an engine company. Period".

I've seen errors being considered while fitting a model, but not in the source data or when using the fitted data in another calculation. But yeah, I hope it's just a simplification for laymen like me. But the fact that apparently

As a physicist, it might just be my layman's impression, but it does seem like economics people are just putting a list of points in Excel, no error bars or anything. I don't think I've ever seen some error propagation stuff

My phone is middle-tier but it is new. This website has probably the worst scrolling performance I've ever seen while using this phone. Can only imagine the dozens of megabytes of JS it is downloading once the "zero-JS part for SE

My phone is literally struggling to even scroll through this page.

I know we're supposed to assume good faith here, but it's very hard when we read justifications like this.

Honestly, robot traffic seems like an issue just because websites are horrendously inefficient. Hundreds of round-trips to external servers, languages that require some orders of magnitude more resources than needed... It shouldn't be

Keepass is pretty cool when it comes to that, I can just invoke the auto-type on those situations

Hacker News commentators (or the Internet in general) love to point out a 0.001% exception when it's obvious it's not the case being discussed.

How relevant are the 300,000 employees? Do they all had access to this information?

No.

Discord is probably the worst of all. I'm not a gamer and I hate it so much that a lot of tech content is now locked behind private Discord channels. Even Facebook is more discoverable than that

It would be nice if there was somewhere ready to upload the archive, though.

Not OP, but at least for me remembering random facts is much easier than remembering what happens in my own personal life. So I never found memory to be an issue when studying.

Never really played with the Erlang VM other than a little more than the Hello World in Elixir, but when I'm in the debugging hell of Apache Spark I really wish it wasn't based on the JVM.

That's not the original point. The original point is it can't possibly be intelligent because it's just trained on predicting tokens.

Trying to attribute intelligent intent when there is none. Human brains are just an amalgamation of 20 amino acids and other organic molecules that some bunch of DNA produced to copy themselves. Or: Human brains are ultimately just particle

Trying to attribute intelligent intent when there is none. Human brains just propagate electrical impulses through neuron synapses.

Oh man, back in my university it was the teachers themselves who provided the pirated materials. In Humanities it was the full scanned books, in STEM at least they always scanned at least the exercises so it wouldn't be necessary to ge

C is what, five decades old? Seems like building and packaging software should be a solved problem by now. Instead every single language has to re-invent everything, and it seems it's mostly because of these binary dependencies.

I think the lesson here is just "American-specific rules", not "Central Europe specific rules". In Latin America I never heard of it either

Is it? I'm Brazilian and I never heard of it.

That must be very US-specific, it just sounds American. But the 3 point thing definitely has nothing to do with this oddity of scoring

Ideally, your logo in your website should also be a SVG or at least a transparent PNG. I definitely pick it up from Wikipedia when I go do a presentation if it's not there.

Don't know about asbestos, but everyone knew lead was bad. Profits just spoke louder.

Jesus. One would think the social relationship with the students would override the greed, but apparently not.

Why didn't he just scan at least the assigned problem sets into a PDF? Do they require you to buy a brand new book just so the question numbers they pass match?

It's been a long time since I've programmed in C, but AFAIK the major pain points were and continue to be the build system and the preprocessor (or consequences of those). Zig does seem to fix in a pretty simple way
