If you are suspicious, look at comment history. I'm never suspicious though. One of the strange, and awesome, and incredibly rare things about HN is that I put basically zero stock in who wrote a comment. It's such a minimal p

I’ve had this sense that HN has gotten absolutely innundated with bots last few months. Is it possible to differentiate between a bot, and a human using AI to 'improve' the quality of their comment where some of the content mi

A month ago, I went on a performance quest trying to optimize a PHP script that took 5 days to run. Together with the help of many talented developers, I eventually got it to run in under 30 seconds. When people say leetcode interviews ar

Are hypens no longer acceptable? Hyphenation will probably lead to people thinking the content is generated by AI, which would be a significant downside for most websites. Users want to believe the site creator put effort in (regardless o

At this point that API has been around for decades and is probably impossible to deprecate without breaking fairly large amounts of the web. The only option is to introduce a new and better API, and maybe eventually have the browser throw

The cost of that liquidity is missing out on realizing future growth though. It's fairly safe to assume that as there isn't an IPO yet the investors want to hold rather than cash in returns. They probably believe there's more

I looked up setHTMLUnsafe on MDN, and it looks like its been in every notable browser since last year. Oddly though, the Sanitizer API that it's built on doesn't appear to be in Safari. https://developer.mozilla.org&#

Isn't that the correct answer though? You shouldn't be driving around with a broken sparkplug. Your engine will be pushing unburned gasoline through the catalytic convertor, which is very bad for it. The car will move for sure,

I got a human baseline through Rapidata (10k people, same forced choice): 71.5% said drive. Most models perform below that. The correct answer to " I Want to Wash My Car. The Car Wash Is 50 Meters Away. Should I Walk or Drive? "

That's a short term view. Any system you build inhouse has to be maintained until you replace it, and often the longer it remains in place the harder it is to do that. You might save a small amount of cash (which might be important at

i suppose we will just have to write an English to pedantry compiler. A common technique is to prompt in your chosen AI to write a longer prompt to get it to do what you want. It's used a lot in image generation. This is called &#x2

Naming things in the context of AI, by someone who is already responsible for naming other things in the context of AI, when they have a lot of valid experience in the field of AI. It's not entirely unreasonable.

And that test will check the code paths are run. That doesn't tell you that the code is correct. It tells you that the branching code can reach all the branches. That isn't very useful.
