I had to study for significantly longer than 6 days to barely scrape a 2:1 in my degree. Perhaps I hadn’t optimised my caffeine consumption.

I find verbosity annoying. I prefer depth/accuracy/structure without extra words. Maybe Gemini still wins on that front anyway.

I could afford it, but I’d much rather put that money into my mortgage, pension, or an investment account. But then I don’t get much pleasure out of cars. If I loved nice cars then I might think it’s worth spending disposable income on one.

I worked for a gambling syndicate. We often made money from bad initial prices. Many bookies tolerated us because they wanted to know what we thought was mispriced and rapidly adjusted their odds after we started betting. It was a balancing

I originally didn’t click on this post because it was obviously clickbait - the title isn’t possible. But no. The author actually embedded a small LLM in Minecraft using hundreds of millions of blocks, that generates 1 token per 2h at 40,00

I choose React because I just love JSX. It feels like a joy to use. I love returning UI snippets from within the logic. Even hooks are just kinda fun. I know there are other libraries that allow me to use JSX, but I started with React, and

I would love to see some sources for this. Sounds super interesting. When do we get Matrix-style learning modules?

Disclaimer: UK citizen. I don’t know anything about ICE or whose side I’m “supposed to be on” politically here. I’m just responding to the details in the article. The app might as well be TodoApp. The vulnerability couldn’t have been report

The operation is important too. Square matrices over integers with matrix multiplication is (just) a monoid. Square matrices with addition are a monoid too (but also a group, because there is an additive inverse). Put it all together and it

This reads like original writing to me. Too creative for LLMs, at least based on my experience.

The new Airbnb icons perform horribly on my 2019 Macbook. Interacting with the tabs is something like 5fps. Performance aside, the author's game selector design is so much nicer than Airbnb's implementation.

This seems like great advice, when I think back on my own experience it lines up. I’ll try to do this more!

It’s the Gaelic spelling of “jail”. It hasn’t been used in mainstream British English since the 60s, outside of specific place names. Everyone in England says “jail” or “prison” today. It might be a bit different in Ireland.

Galois theory was my favourite course in the final year of my maths undergrad. I have no idea how this post is at the top of HN. I barely remember what the symbols mean.

I’ve worked on systems which where the set of enum values was fixed at any particular point in time, but could change over time as business requirements changed. For instance, we had an enum that represented a sport that we supported. Initi

Yeah, but websites still have asinine requirements. So at least enforcing uppercase, numbers, and symbols, is useful. It doesn’t make your password significantly better, but it allows you to sign up in the first place. I agree that min leng
