sadly this is a side-effect of how we treat these algorithms, before ml models and now with llm. the statistical models which are now so easy to try with defaults and without any thought about how it works. now we don't bother connecti

how long before you reckon it would be widely adopted? i feel like the pace of revision (~3 years per standard) seems too fast.

interesting parallels are drawn for this opinion, but i would be with it if it was just limited to web search like most people started clamoring after genAI. some comparisons with past american monopolies were made, but there is a key diffe

iirc they still got the chance to appeal at supreme court, so we shall hear about this in a few quarters time. personally, if you disconnect the rest of IA from the "CDL" aspect and look at the lawsuit this way, it seems to me lik

given the demographics here, i can imagine for many of us the first impression was "someone lying on their cv for a tech job got caught". but "real" engineering (as my core engineer professors used to snark at us) has re

since currently it is only compatible for select new devices, is it possible to do the inverse of the TPM "fix" ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39384039 ) in this case? in other words, can we fool the os to t

pretty cool and to me a better approach than the prescriptive advice from the OP. to me the crux of the argument is to make the code more readable from a popular tool. but if this can be well-integrated into common ide (or even grep perhaps

very interesting approach! in south asia, due to similar exposure to tech (through qwerty), we too use a phonetic approach, but without touching the visual aspect of the script. it gets a little ambiguous, however, because we have ~2x the s

having studied in 45-50 student classrooms until high school, i think this has more to do with the sudden paradigm change than anything else. unless there are physical/infra challenges.

you could completely respect the decision to deprecate some support, but the marketing speak comes across distasteful. from a user's perspective, selecting a tool should be about what's "best" for you and not what is t

this is truly a cool demo, but a very misleading title. to me it seems like a very bruteforce or greedy way to give the impression to a user that they are "playing" a game. the difference being that you already own the game to mak
