That is a bit uncalled for, I like to be lean and technically precise as much as the next guy. I am not talking about "deep IDE integration" in a wishy-washy sense, what I care about as a professional engineer is that such an inte

That makes sense. Personally I have rarely gotten truly satisfactory results with such a hands-off approach, I cannot really stop babysitting it, so facilities to run it in the background or be able to do multiple things at once are rather

I'd love to hear from folks who mainly use Claude Code on why they prefer it and how they compare. It seems to be the most popular option here in HN, or at least the most frequently mentioned, and I never quite got why. I always prefer

You can see it looking out from the cliff next to the red house on the hill. But I couldn’t actually get to the UFO, I tried going all around the other hill it is on top of but I am not sure if it is accessible. Where is the alien?

Indeed. I'd say that the issue is that they are misinterpreting the word "collecting". The principle is true if you are collecting or observing data live, but this data was collected long ago and with a much wider scope: when

I've completely stopped using Google since the ChatGPT search Chrome extension came out. That was, what, almost 2 years ago? More? It simply redirects URL-bar searches to ChatGPT (with the web search toggle active) instead of Google, n

It's simply optimized to upsell you on other apps when you are there for a different purpose. Just how supermarkets are designed, IKEA is the most egregious, they try to force you to look at and tempt you with a whole load of other pro

Just wanted to stop by and say: cool writing. I don't quite agree, rather melodramatic, but it really paints a picture.

I do agree with the spirit of your point, but there's an easy counterargument: How do you know that the next month worth of articles from the publisher you are subscribed to is worth the fee before seeing it? There is a such a thing as

Apparently the codename for the prototype language was "Mocha", infinitely better! Even the release name "LiveScript" is much better. They switched for cynical marketing reasons, riding the "Java" hype, and to

The "Monte Carlo" term is deceivingly fancy, most algorithms with that label simply involve randomly picking from a set of possibilities (search space), as opposed to trying all cases or exploring in some other systematic way. Whe

Is it? You just have to give up a lot for it. Perhaps you had less to loose back then, people were closer to this state of being, but that's not good, and it was probably much tougher to live like this at the time. Thankfully the stand

I’ve had three long trips to the Bay area a in the last couple of years. It’s so interesting to hear locals talking about SF and SV as different worlds and making such a big deal about driving over. They are less than an hour apart (roughly

I can’t see it explicitly specified in the article, but let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill, it says “gently torture”, it’s clearly tong-and-cheek, I doubt it’s more than a pinprick.

Paper authors (and this posts author apparently) like to throw in lots of scary-looking maths to signal that they are smart and that what they are doing has merit. The Reinforcement Learning field is particularly notorious for doing this, b

Not really, the US didn't wait for oil to become more expensive to extract in other countries. It financed the R&D for more efficient extraction for decades, mostly for geopolitical reasons, against short-term market pressures, unt

Well that is what happens when you let the market guide industrial strategy, and very often it is the right call. But these things take time and significant capital to develop, you often need to be non-competitive for years, doing things in

I don't disagree with the general premise, but it's not so clear-cut with regards to raw materials. For example, the US has some of the largest lithium deposits in the world, but it's not being exploited because extraction is

The Mafia does actually provide real waste-management services, also in Italy at large scale as far as I know. They do engage in racketeering to ensure that they own all the contracts in a certain region, and compete for territory, but they

Indeed, I would have at least liked to get a rough understanding of the tricks they use to classify and discard Turing machines, and how they construct these enormous runtime calculations. They are clearly computing something but they are o

I really liked the Circles feature in Google+: you defined groups of friends, and you could make your posts visible to particular groups. They were not like group chats or subreddits, the circles were just for you, it was just an easy way t

This points to a wider misconception that the public has. Computer engineers learn how to build computer systems, they don't learn how to use computer systems. Automotive engineers are not necessarily good drivers either, and an archit

These things kept happening for 2-3 years with pre-ChatGPT LLM tech demos from Microsoft, Meta and Google. Not to be an apologist of course, just wanted to point out that it may be a sign of them being behind the curve on some technical asp

Sure but this is not a fundamental issue with public transport, it's an issue with the implementation of public transport in the US. There are plenty of places where it's done well, and it is felt deeply. Living in major city in t
