What's nonsensical, here? How many of us can rid ourselves of the terrible Wifi router the ISP forced upon us? The sluggish operating system on the TV? The stupid navigation system installed by your car manufacturer. A small minority c

No. Consumers don't care about what they get. May be a small minority of tech savvy ones do but others don't or at least they don't know how to demand better software because software comes with no promises and guarantees.

I like the article. In fact just yesterday I quipped to someone about how the quality of AI output will be determined by the competence of its "operators". I have always had a strong drive to produce awe-inspiring software. At eve

Wow!So this can be used for full blown project management too.

The intention is that it should be used for all kinds of research, including the efficacy of LLM OCRs. It shouldn't be too difficult to look at the original PDF to substantiate any "fact" anyone wants to quote from the datase

I am releasing JFK-TELL, a dataset I generated by extracting text from the scanned PDFs of the assassination records released until April 2025. The extraction was done with Google Gemini LLM API to generate Markdown text, using a very simpl

Nehru place was almost 100% scammers than real geniuses but definitely the place if you wanted a custom computing rig. The food was good enough, like you said but the prospect of having a 2GB RAM module made you salivate even more! The neig

If you're interested, this is the course that I created: https://github.com/KnowchowHQ/rl-in-action/tree/master/C1-RL... The other one you found is just one of the notebooks from the course.

Lillian's writing is really crisp without compromising the technical details. I learnt reinforcement learning from Udacity course. It was one of the finest on the internet. Whenever I couldn't find some thing in the course I went

Makes me think what if NNs are treated as black box signal processing units. What other techniques can we borrow from signal processing?

As a DIYer myself I am awed by how much Henrik has managed to flesh out in terms of complexity: signal processing, hardware, GPU acceleration, and algorithmic optimizations. I wish the HN community had some award for such incredible feats.

This is the way to go if you want get things running without wasting days. HA needs to be on on wired LAN for the best experience so one more reason to have it run on RPi and maybe have it sit next to your router.

It may not be Geospatial data at all and I'm not sure how much the users consented but the data collection strategy was well crafted. I remember recommending building a game to collect handwriting data from testers (about a thousand),

Irrespective of the severity assigned it's a good and simple case study for any programmer, engineer or not, building drivers and low-level stuff or not. Alongside it, and the iconic "Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit", r

Before even reading the somewhat clickbaity article, here's my own experience with the effect of egg consumption on cholesterol. This is a sample size of 1, so take it with the same pinch of salt you'd take with your eggs. - Boile

Dynamic typing with deeply nested data forces you to put type bandaids all over the code. For example you end up defining Pydantic schemas and then validating the same thing more than once since you can't guarantee that the type of a t

I'm yet to come across a "leetcoder" type who can write even basic code without constant help, even if it's mostly algorithmic in nature.

This is typical solve-one-problem-with-another approach. Anaconda may be bloated but it is really straightforward to use from the navigator and yes you can have many different Python environments installed at the same time.

The product through its utility, asthetics, pricing etc shapes its market and market factors like consumer demography, competition, macro economy etc shape the product. So PMF can only be an incremental process.

It remains to be seen how many subtle bugs are now introduced by programmers who have never dealt with real multithreading.

Samsung screen off memo with a stylus has been the best note taking app for me. There’s an option to digitise the text and make it searchable. The big issue is it’s not cross platform.

I'm sure most of the valuation is done behind closed doors but is there any public information on how those numbers are plucked out of thin air? Byju's was a glorified tutoring app like so many others and the valuation was definit
