Unicode does have codepoints for Fraktur (for maths): http://xahlee.info/comp/unicode_index.html?q=fraktur

Do you have a source on that? It's not what I've read elsewhere, but I'm having trouble finding anything specific.

The original worked fine from NZ, so there must be some tighter criterion.

Probably automated. If someone creates a new account then immediately posts big comments, lots of comments, or links, the comments end up dead by default and need vouching. The dead spam comments often found at the bottom of threads are w

Okay, sounds like different definitions. If you have a single system that can solve any problem any human can, I'd call that ASI, as it's way smarter than any human. It's an extremely high bar, and before we reach it I think

I'm responding to this: > It will be a useful benchmark to validate claims by people like Sam Altman about having achieved AGI. I think it is possible to achieve AGI without creating an AGI that is an expert mathematician, and that

Most humans can't solve these problems, so it's certainly possible to imagine a legitimate AGI that can't either.

A bug: In "Highest title drops by decade", 1960, "Best rated (at least 1 drop)", it lists Psycho with 0 drops. It really does seem to be 0, so shouldn't show up here.

Intel and Google developed libhoudini to do binary translation of the native code to solve that problem. https://github.com/SGNight/Arm-NativeBridge , https://www.anandtech.com/show/5770/lava-

HD 3.5" disks have a 2MB unformatted capacity, so I don't think anything could go over that. The Amiga drive was certainly more flexible (and some games used weird custom formats as a form of copy protection). https://

That was totally different. DoubleSpace made a virtual drive in a file and did software compression/decompression with a driver during writes and reads. It was a clone of Stacker, and both were slow as heck (but hard drives were only

In my experience, writeable and rewriteable CDs killed Zip drives well before USB drives could hold as much.

You have to manually turn on input for your keyboard in the settings. Then you get a record button.

Of course people are free to use any name, no matter how much it sabotages their project. That doesn't mean it's sensible. Names absolutely matter. At work I use a thing called STACK, because it's the best option available

There are HN readers in almost every time zone, so it's not night owls and early birds. I think it's downvoted because it's a shallow dismissal.

The project looks interesting. Screenshots would help, as well as a link to the demo at https://signal.vercel.app/edit . The demo asked for MIDI permission, but didn't accept input from my MIDI keyboard until I realis

Of course, but the number of subpages is actually 16^6 since the colours go from 0x000000 to 0xffffff; see the many other comments about that, including mine.

You are missing something. How many two-digit decimal numbers are there from 00 to 99? Obviously 99+1 = 100: 10 options for the first digit times 10 options for the second digit; 10 in the form 0X, 10 in the form 1X, etc. up to 9X, a to

Qualcomm has been working on RISC-V for a while, at outwardly-small scale. It's probably intended as a long-term alternative rather than a ready-to-go plan B. From a year ago: "The most exciting part for us at Qualcomm Technolog

Might be to do with when this happened, 2006-2007. He did have trouble getting them to respond on topic though.
