Karpathy's Zero to Hero Discord is super friendly. Yannic Kilcher's is also cool and seems more active. I like the paper discussions, but it also has more meme-tier antics. This computer vision one is decent: https://di

Same. At first I was skeptical but whereas HN, Lobsters, etc are mostly baseless opining (mine included) and hot takes, there are discords where they have more signal than the infotainment I enjoy on HN. I’m in a few where people regularly

I’m surprised you’re able to expense your rent, but otherwise I agree. I like being free to arrange my schedule how I like. I’ve traveled almost 3 months out of 7 this year, take long weekends to go diving, etc. When I was W-2, even when I

I input Chinese everyday and it’s fairly simple. You input a phonetic sequence and choose the character. I already find it hard to use emoji. It takes forever to scan through the faces to find the one I want, and search online sometimes hel

It’s unlike language because words can fluidly be invented or fall out of use. Emoji is designed by a committee. If it expands to include everything it will just be unusable. Why not just use pictures at that point anyway?

I wouldn’t mind this becoming an international standard. Going back and forth between the west and Asia, no one is ever sure upon first look which is my given name and which is my surname because of it being written in a different order acr

My operating system has quite good window management and I hate to have everything collapsed down into a linear row of tabs in one window.

I would guess that “too dangerous” is both hype and also means it utters insensitive statements. Not that it’s primed to topple human society.

> Those are deliberate choices made by people with low impulse control, and China has nothing to do with that. Tell that to historians, especially Chinese historians, regarding Britain’s opium trade.

Please don’t start posting LLM summaries. If anyone wants this summary they can query chatGPT themselves. It’s just noise.

Wouldn’t the transformer just be learning a jpeg decoder at some point?

This dice puzzle looks like it’d be trivial to solve with a little Python and opencv too. Rare CAPTCHA that seems harder for a human than a computer.

I’ve noticed the same thing living in Taiwan. They don’t fluoride the water, and in general people have pretty bad teeth with caries and decay that I never see in Americans in their 20s and 30s. The highly sugary diet probably doesn’t help

Can you please provide some examples of “the other side” that have been banned? I’m not in the US, but a country tightly aligned with the US, and I am able to access rt.com just fine.

Indeed there’s one screenshot showing ChatGPT claim it wrote the professor’s email. How embarrassing.

Most modern languages already use Unicode for variable names and such. But why would you want to type a Unicode lte/gte character? I’m sure it’s not that hard on a Mac keyboard, but can’t be easier than <=

The weapons durability bothered me at first. I kept thinking I'd eventually be able to repair them or something. Eventually I realized it was kind of fun because it forces you to try new weapons constantly. The only mechanics that I fi

Nutrition is one of my favorite topics on HN. Not because the discussions have any utility, but because it's amazing to see out of a group of highly intelligent people, the weirdest dietary gospel emerges. Anecdotes about how Wim Hof b

Traditional search engines aren’t going away for a long time, even if they are hybridized with LLM quick answers. My favorite websites about bike touring or someone’s tech blog will still be findable, and perhaps less buried under junk once

I’m generally pretty pessimistic about the effects LLMs are going to have on the world, but I tentatively agree with you on this point. In fact, a silver lining might be that SEO content marketing becomes worthless, so we’ll have fewer prod

麻 isn’t always numb. It’s also a genetic term for all kinds of flax or fiberous plants like hemp. For example sesame is 芝麻.

Short answer is horribly. Chinese is not one word per character. Not even close. Most words you encounter on a regular basis are two-char compounds, but individually each character would tell you less about the whole than ‘camp’ and ‘ground
