The most success I’ve had is with libraries I have no experience in. Like I was doing a Stripe integration and asked ChatGPT to generate an example integration. The integration was wrong, but it gave me enough of an idea to get started. I a

How many people did it kill if you exclude suicides? Jumping in front of a train is a very common way to kill yourself.

The BoE is wholly owned by the UK government so your distinction is without meaning. And what is the second part of your argument? It’s ok to waste 45B a year if you’re spending a lot of other money?

The CO2 emission of one flight from NY to Chicago is equivalent to like 100 years of using a roll of paper towels every 3 days.

Two pedestrian strikes. Doesn’t seem like suicide has been ruled out yet.

Regarding the definition of “observational equivalence”: I would love to see an example of two non-trivial statements that aren’t equal but are observationally equivalent. It seems impossible in almost any programming language.

Until the widespread use of heat pumps, AC was much more energy efficient than heating.

I feel like this is an intentional error designed to illicit exactly the sentiment expressed by many people commenting here. That is to say, this is manufactured outrage. And look at the results: Astro made it to the front page of HN!

I think there are two types of properties: intrinsic and extrinsic. Your intelligence is intrinsic. It’s internal to you and is highly correlated with your genetics. Your success in life is extrinsic. It’s based on factors outside of you, l

Again, auto thefts is a relatively rare event. There are 1,000,000 auto thefts per year and 279,000,000 vehicles, so 1/279 vehicles are involved with a theft every year. Do you think only 1/279 children access harmful content? Als

I made a tool to help motivate me write every day. After sharing it with some writers for their feedback, one of them had a really insightful comment: “Wow, wanna-be writers will really do anything to avoid writing!” I had spent a lot of ti

Prior to Uber, call-to-order taxi services were largely operated by human dispatchers. The exploitation of drivers and legal practices of Uber are valid criticism of Uber, the company, but not valid criticisms of their product imo.

I think it depends on what you mean by understanding. KataGo taught itself to play go by explicitly deprioritizing “losing” strategies. This means it didn’t play many amateur strategies because they were lost early in the training. This is

There’s a certain irony in calling this approach “hard to debug” vs. a library like React with its hooks implementation.

Even if what you say is true regarding familial auto theft, which I highly doubt, the percentage of auto thefts committed by children is irrelevant. The more relevant question is “what percentage of children are involved in auto theft” not

They definitely can and do collect the traffic. But most ISPs actively sell your data to marketers. I don’t think AWS does that.

I run my own VPN on an EC2 instance. The main reason I do it is because even HTTPS leaks the domain names you connect to in addition to the IP address. It seems stupid to give that info to my ISP.

It's funny that there is a narrative that Instagram killed Snapchat with their stories feature. Snapchat still has something like 383M DAU. That's a massive user base. Instagram Stories definitely blunted Snap's growth, espec
