This is an insane story demonstrating extraordinary incompetence, not to mention revealing some rather comical beliefs about American exceptionalism. It's on the bottom of the third page, pushed down by flags. During any other administ

For the software to perform beamforming it must be provided the discrete microphone inputs, as opposed to being provided some sort of pre-mixed feed. As such, why is Apple "trying way too hard to be fancy here" if you can just use

It's an interesting project and seems to work superbly on human created topographies, but in some testing with outputs of Hunyuan3D v2, it is definitely a miss. It is massively destructive to the model and seems to miss extremely obvio

Saw this submission earlier in the day and chuckled. The whole "vibe coding" thing is hilarious, and I say this as someone who heavily leverages AI in my coding tasks. Moments ago just saw this ad at the front of HN- https:/

That part immediately made me short circuit out of the piece. That sounds like a recipe for disaster and an unnecessary complexity that just brings loads of new failure modes. Not a best practice. Trivial mistakes in PRs are almost always s

If we're being precise, Canada made no such promise. It was an aspirational target. The guidance, actually first agreed to in 2014, was that countries would move towards the 2% target. And Canada has indeed moved towards the 2% target,

Canada doesn't maintain a military for self defence. If it did we would have pursued nuclear weapon ambitions in the 1940s and focused overwhelming on terrestrial missile systems and attack submarines. Even the interception routine of

Just as one humorous aside, if you use the text to mesh pipeline, as mentioned the first stage is simply a call to a presumably fine-tuned variant of stable diffusion with your text and the following prompts (translated from Simplified Chin

The norm pretty much worldwide is that if you present yourself at a border crossing and are found inadmissible, you are refused entry and turned around. Some people have wrongly used the word "deport", but that isn't what it

No one is ignoring that, and it's bizarre seeing people defend Musk in such a ridiculous fashion. The plausible deniability angle would hit a little better if Musk hadn't also been endorsing a number of Nazi-adjacent parties and v

It's clearly intended to impact new buyers. Most of Musk's wealth is tied up in Tesla, and that funding allowed him to both buy an election and -- gestures broadly -- demonstrate convincingly that he is an absolutely reprehensible
