I wonder if hour of day would benefit from being combined with HN's visitors location data to be truly relevant? I think the location is embedded in the time somehow if the visitors' origins are stable over time. If 9am PT is a po

The fact here is that a student, using ChatGPT, managed to give the right answer. And I agree with GP that the teaching model must evolve. The cat is out of the bag now and clearly students, of (unfortunately) almost all ages, are using it.

Looking forward to reading this series. As a side note I’d love to find a chart/data on the cost performance ratio of open source models. And possibly then a $/ELO value (where $ is the cost to build and operate the machine and EL

From a true e-commerce story. If you have to somehow deal with product conditions, don't use the condition "new" for new vs. mint, used, damaged products. This has a nightmarish greppability… I'll never do that mistake a

Also, I'm 99% sure that Steve Job once said (paraphrasing): "We don't hire talented people to tell them what to do, we hire them to tell us what to do". Which to me sounds like "Hire good people and give them room t

Not exactly the same background. Stayed at a company for ~5 years. Then switched. I’m at ~15y experience now. But as you mention, I’ve also witnessed a big drop in outreach landing in my inbox. My guess is that it is more to blame on the ma

Yes, and IMO this needs to be regulated everywhere (even in non touristic places). Prevent companies from buying residential type of estate. And only allow individuals to buy one property if non-citizen or two (main and secondary) if a citi

I’ve tried PII anonymization with standard NLP approaches and LLMs have been (way) better at this task in my experience.

You mean I can't wish for a brave new world? Joking aside, I agree. It's too bad, though, that we know a thing (this or anything else even technological or not) that could be used for good and improving ourselves will almost alway

Exactly. What I'm always missing in videos of the sun is a time scale and a size scale. I'd love to have an earth time clock and a earth to scale in a corner of the image for reference.

The symptoms of tingling in the extremities resemble what my wife experienced after her chemo when the treatment damaged her neurons' myelin sheath. This causes 'noisy' neuron signals to be transmitted (tingles, lack of sensa

A simple game I posted here before [1]. I think it’s rather hard to finish a project in under one weekend. And we tend to easily say “I did it over the weekend” but mean “I had something working after one weekend”. Especially if the weekend

I see that some of the email clients mentioned wrap the mail’s content in extra HTML tags and modify the CSS and classes names. I’m wondering why email clients don’t use sandboxed iframes to render HTML email? Do they still present security

This is what I had in mind, I guess using simply wifi, the critical mass needed to have a correct network would be too big. And very locally limited.

Thank you, a wireless mesh network seems to be the broad name of what I had in mind. You seem to hint at the fact that they are illegal? Or do you mean they are heavily regulated? If it's the case it'd strange as any online privat

Maybe too tangential, but here is my question anyways: Is there a project that tries to build (using Raspberry Pis for example, or an app on a smartphone) a second global network of privately run nodes. The most similar project I can think

The fact that internet is going to be filled with AI content is likely to happen. But for the rest I think it’s the classical bias science fiction has when predicting the future. More of the same. Or the linear transposition of the now (fo

Saying they make it “open source” in the same article where they say they need “350k high end GPUs to build it”. Is the equivalent of saying: ”we offer free nuclear submarine driving lessons”. I know you don’t need as many resources for inf
