Humans aren't infallible and make mistakes in reasoning as well. What is fundamentally different about the mistakes we make versus the mistakes that Claude or Gemini make? Haven't LLM's even been shown to make the same postho

At the peak period of DOGE activity when it was the biggest political news story, I never once saw stories about it on the front page here. Someone relying on HN as their primary news aggregator would be entirely clueless to what was going

Is it possible that Trump is just a stupid person? That he genuinely believes the tariffs will be good, that he's being influenced by stupid people (Navarro) that believe this, and that the reaction of bond markets that didn't fol

@dang Surely this is mistakenly flagged? This is interesting and hardly seems controversial or inflammatory.

It was in the news in the past week that the shingles vaccine may reduce dementia risk by 20%. The results also point to it being a causative effect rather than simply correlative, which, if true, is huge. https://www.business-st

Even though other manufacturers may not be reporting these numbers, Level 2 ADAS systems are pretty common as far as I can tell. Wouldn't any vehicle with adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist be considered Level 2 ADAS?

The first man on the moon, the breakup of the Soviet Union, September 11 - these were all things that people predicted would be monumental world-changing events at that point in history, and also proved to be after the fact. Maybe history w

Should we also then be flagging posts about Rust due to the low-effort drive-by comments sniping at the language and Rust community?

Why do you think Tesla stock prices doubled after Trump's election? Obviously Tesla is more than just Elon, but it is pretty clear that a huge portion of its market cap can be attributed to Musk and hype that he generates.

In general, I find Rust very readable. The areas I do find I struggle are generics and lifetimes, and I don't think it's a feature of Rust syntax that makes me struggle and is instead the fact that people tend to use non-descripti

Mine is the "grab your steering wheel" alert when the lane-keep assist does too good of a job staying in the lane and it doesn't receive any steering input from me for too long of a period. I do have to say that after test-dr

All of these are valid, but would this not equally apply to a linux dev stamping their feet and obstructing other people's work because they don't like rust?

They actually have quite a few examples in the axum repo and linked from their docs. Something a bit more use-friendly and approachable like Bevy's website would be beneficial, though.

How is competition better? We have Bell, Rogers, and Telus and then Quebecor which is regional and much smaller but at least within an order of magnitude of the other telcos in size. Shaw was bought out by Rogers, so it seems strictly worse

I've not been as immersed in the presidential race, but hasn't he explicitly said he wants to be a dictator, this is the last vote you will need, we should stop so and so from voting and so on? Like, right out of his mouth? How is

The odd thing is that Civet includes both do expressions and everything is an expression. I'd be happy with either, but both seems like a bad idea.

I think meaningless abstractions are fine to a point, but when you have a less trivial example, it can make it harder to keep track of the relationship of different things. For example, you might see something like trait Foo { fn
