They keep saying "freeway" but meanwhile it is capped at in-town driving speeds. I guess they mean for those rush-hour durations when everything is at a crawl.

Yes, it was a very different world than it is now. I had a 22 caliber rifle when I was a tween. That wasn't uncommon because I lived in the country, and you pretty much needed such things to scare coyotes and wolves off the yard withou

As someone who has lived here for a few decades, this is really shocking. We've always had some violence here and there, but it seems to have escalated to the point where now we read the news to see if there wasn't some sort of

This is probably not worth anyone's time. The page starts off by saying: Current State: Not maintained. Not Working. Sorry guys! Really busy with private projects. This was very fun! Not everything with ChatGPT in its des

Yup, that matches my experience. When you realize how conversational ChatGPT is, you adjust the way you use it in order to get good code from it. It doesn't take long to know instinctively what things it gets wrong. When it happens, I

ChatGPT is Wikipedia all over again. It'll give you some really good material to work with, but if you plagiarize it blindly you're gonna get called out for the inaccuracies. It does not analyze its output, so if it has ever seen

Exactly this. Even previous to that, we were told Lisp and Rapid Prototyping would end programming languages like C. And yet C is still here, although it looks quite different and has branched out a whole lot. And Lisp is still here, but ha

There are all kinds of similar stories in history. The synth didn't replace the guitar, even if there isn't much guitar in radio pop music these days. Guitar abounds outside of pop, and isn't entirely diminished from pop eith

Exactly. I was having some serious deja vu. Pretty sure there was someone who was planning to do exactly this with his own "soul." It might have been right here on HN.

Quite misogynist, as well.

In baseball, how is it when players hit the ball, it does not damage their knuckles? The words "fist" and "knuckle" do not even appear on M-W's definition of hit. "Fists" appears in a sample sentence that

They could have done it easier with a simple notch filter. Basically completely remove a frequency that doesn't affect intelligibility for ad purposes, and Alexa ignores anything with that frequency notched out.

I'm not sure if I get the question, but you can use PGP to simply sign a message. That keeps nonrepudiation intact, but you don't need a key to read it otherwise.

Also, "i-Rish makes a cute pun on early Apple naming conventions." How is that not disrespectful? I agree that although Apache wasn't meant to be racist, that doesn't make it not racist.

In 2001 I flew first class in British Airways, and they had the pneumatic headphones. It sounded a lot better than I expected such a thing would, too.

Consider Replit. They have some 100 days of ... coding tutorials. I'm working through one right now, and it's pretty good. Everything is self contained on the site, too.

They don't usually have any of the music I listen to, so I don't even bother looking at the offers. I don't use the services, and can't imagine enjoying it if I tried. For that matter, I tend to follow the managing compa

This is interesting. They also added LET. It looks like they really want it to be a Lisp. Anyway, the folks who have done artistic and creative things with spreadsheets are going to have a lot of fun with these both in there.

Personally I think bosses like it because they don't have to pay their part of payroll taxes on it. Employees like it because they don't have to pay income tax on it. So, it's a tax scam at best. Instead, as a few (and you) h

ChatGPT didn't exist in 2021 or prior, so it isn't surprising that it doesn't have specific information about it in the models. It seems counterintuitive, but remember, it's not actually thinking, and therefore doesn&#x2

That doesn't mean the name is a real name, or that it doesn't belong to a compromised account. Either way, searching the name on Google suggests it is like "John Smith" in how very common it is. So nobody should wrongly

Maybe it is a lack of info or differentiation between the different attack vectors, but it sounds like you actually have it under control if the business is not being impacted. Are they "testing" your security, or spamming from yo

Compare these two things, though. Would you be upset if strangers from around the globe don't pay heed to your beautiful garden? Friends, sure. Family, sure. Neighbours even. As for strangers all over the globe, I wouldn't care mu

This is pretty interesting. I wonder how much of the key you can gore out without affecting its functionality. Enough to pass compact messages to a modified service?

I have it too, of course. It's a very similar book, but with different examples and thought experiments. I'm sure it would have been my choice if I had read them in the opposite order.

You seem to be saying that you don't feel you're succeeding unless you have a creator-level social presence with fans oohing and ahhing about your coding prowess. Sorry to be stark about it, but that's the problem right there

Metamagical Themas from Douglas R. Hofstadter. I even have both a soft and a hard cover copy on my shelf. This book opened my mind on a lot of subjects big time.

This was an awesome self-imposed Turing Test. Let's just say you didn't win this round. You have demonstrated why it is so easy to be fooled by AI. I don't know if there's a name for it specifically, but it's pretty
