Now? OK, you need to screencap and upload to LLM, but that's well established tech by now. (Where by "well established", I mean at least 9 months old ;) Same goes for "navigating HTTP sites via LLM prompts". Most LL

Maybe. Writing a publication is a lot more work than a post on 4chan, even if it's a good post. If it's not your field you might well not bother to write the paper. (After all, it's not your field, somebody might have solved

This is not "letting go", this is "deliberately giving away and dismantling". Nobody is that incompetent to do this accidentally.

Uh... I have no idea what that was, just that the design is completely counter to any attempt to read it. Which means, probably not a good replacement workflow for a daily driver.

There's some evidence in lower risk groups too. It's alas not an on-off switch, and you can't file a complaint Covid sorted you in the wrong group. Does that mean we should all absolutely take Paxlovid? No, quite likely not.

For anybody going to implement it: Good luck, enjoy the journey and learning from it. At the end of the road, there will be a sign. It will say "hierarchical taxonomies never work". You will likely ignore it. (We all do). Ab initi

Yep, having a video explaining it in detail is great. It's absolutely interesting. (I mean, I would say that, wouldn't I ;) My objection was to using it as an interview question. An broad open-ended question like that without an

The only good answer here is "breadth first, or depth first"? If they say "depth first", go all the way down to electrons bumping into each other on the wire. It's an "I'm so smart, are you so smart"

Useful redress for a bureaucracy taking lawful actions within the guidelines specified is never "let's fire the civil servant". They're not out to enact their agenda, they're trying their level best to achieve the g

That's not at all what I'm saying. This specific case involves a specific group of people. I'd be equally annoyed if people on the other side of the spectrum used what amounts to a bug in HN to influence search ranking for

Because a right wing forum is actively drive hate against Asahi folks (specifically Marcan), and it's using orphaned/unmoderated threads (because the anchor post is flagged) on HN to post that hate and get search ranking for it. E

Vastly oversimplified, that'd be because fonts are individual strokes of varying width and free layout that get rendered on a array of pixels with fixed sizes and fixed layout. Resampling comes with some aliasing/information loss.

Your relative pitch gets decent within a few weeks of practice (<10h). Getting it always right takes longer, and so do "weird" intervals, but the basic intervals are not that hard. Also, basic knowledge of song structure, phras

This should have been part of the HS curriculum. Logarithms pop up (IIRC) in 10th grade, and ln(x*y) = ln(x) + ln(y) is usually explained as part of that. What many teachers completely fail to teach is that it's not just a formula to

I literally do not know. I assume it is because tow trucks are large, and will be slow moving when they merge/tow. I can totally imagine the meeting that took that argument and lead to that feature. But I'm fairly certain that if

I wish that was the unsafest thing car manufacturers did. Jeep, for example, has just discovered a predilection for random full-screen alerts with a blaring alarm sound, if, for example, they magically inferred there's a tow-truck some

There's also the fact that most thermostats do manage to keep the sensor input constant, but that's surprisingly uncorrelated with how you actually feel . (Often due to the slightly bonkers idea that single sensor, often not in a

The theory is defense-in-depth. It's dubious if it buys you much, but any malware now needs a container escape and a VM escape. In reality, if it's target malware, it will, and if it's a mass-spray like a simple VSCode exte

Claude is mostly used by software engineers. That's an important distinction to make. I love Claude, but let's not ignore that in the LLM race, they're not exactly the leading player.

It's a cool exploration, but I'm missing examples of why it's actually better. (Which, TBF, might just be an indicator I spent too much time with regexps :) I.e - why is trre "(cat):(dog)" an improvement over s&#x2F

Came here to say that. If you must start learning with 8-bit, the 6809 is the processor of choice. (Unless you want to really dive into "how can I work around limitations", and then you pick an F8 and pull your hair as much as you

I mean, you want to store a kitchen sink of data, too. You don't like the semantic web or semantic metadata, fine - what do you propose? A custom metadata format for each use case? That is semantic information. If you don't do t

PDF supports that just fine. It's just that many PDF publishers choose not to use that. You can lead a horse to water...

It is probably good to remember that this talks about the experience of a German, under Hitler's Nazi government. This isn't a text that refers to current events. It talks about what happened. How things progressed. Why everybody

This looks interesting - looking forward to see where it heads! An entirely nitpicky nitpick: The demo GIF rubs me the wrong way. I know, you want to show of all the features quickly, but what I see when I watch it is a reviewer who doesn&#

Get yourself a slower compiler ;) But all kidding aside, you likely will have those moments. Not because you had patience, but because over you career you collected enough knowledge bits in your brain that they'll at some point click t
