One thing that concerns me is when you can't tell whether the comment was authored or just edited by AI. I'm uncomfortable with the idea that HN threads and reddit comments gradually tend towards the grey generic writing style of

Precisely this! This seems like a hard thing to spot from a layperson's perspective, but this is literally the purpose of their company, and these printer identification dots seem to be quite well-known in art and printing circles! Thi

I don't think you appreciate: 1. How many active Apex/whatever games there are at any one time 2. How many users will just report anyone they die to as a cheater

Someone thought of a feature (i.e. configurable autocorrect confirmation delay) and decided the interface should be identical to an existing feature (i.e. whether autocorrect is enabled). In my thinking, that second part is "design&quo

That reflexivity felt a bit weird the first time I thought about it. I type the incorrect character, but reflexively notice and backspace it without even becoming aware of it until a moment later. I thought it'd be related to seeing an

This seems like really quite bad design. EDIT: 1) is the result of my misreading of the article, the "previous value" never existed in git. 1) Pushing a change that silently break by reinterpreting a previous configuration value (

I think this follows from the complexity of pretty much all medical conditions. If you have an effective (i.e. powerful) treatment for a complex condition, it's pretty likely that it's going to be effective (i.e. powerful) at doin

I don't like how, when I click on the "The Science" button on Neurode's website, it takes me to a single 5-minute YouTube video with no description. Where's the research?! I'm not entirely skeptical, I've

This is a hard way to learn it, but I think the recognition of non-human animals as being alive in the same way we are is quite a profound moment. Just that realisation of this thing that was previously just a robotic, animated part of &quo

Okay yeah, what you're saying seems true. I guess the GP comment was discussing that, with this new measurement of pi, we now have enough precision (in pi) to reference a point this small on an object this far away. Once you account fo

I imagine that you'd want to use fixed-point arithmetic when it comes to these things, right? Floating-point numbers are good enough for a lot of things, but the precise thing they're bad at is dealing in high precision at multipl

It's bizarre to me that different applications display PDFs differently. Isn't one of the primary purposes of PDF to have a consistent typesetting?

This is the worst kind of feedback comment. It's a damn ChatGPT front-end, do you expect it to be written in PHP? Also, this site plays perfectly fine with uBlock Origin. If you're going to throw criticism out, at least verify tha

To be clear, his work at Blizzard had, as far as I'm aware, nothing to do with game development. His father being a cinematic director also has nothing to do with Thor's game development experience. He shipped one game on Steam, a

Does Thor ever actually code games? The few times I've seen his stream, he's basically editing config files or doing some drag-and-drop game engine thing. Being entirely unfair based on the low amount of exposure I've had to

All of this is *possible* because of the technology. The existence of the technology doesn't mean the software exists, or that the software is any of good/useful/cheap.

I think rockets have this unmatched spectacle, especially for those born in a certain time. Submarine exploration is really cool, but I don't imagine the launching of a new submarine explorer is going to match the momentous-ness of t

I do think it's something like that. Things can quickly get to the speed that feels "fast enough" that they don't feel subjectively slow, but can still be sped up by a couple orders of magnitude. If you Ctrl-F something

I think the thought is that you should buy less bags. I'm seeing you in other comments, lamenting the fact that you routinely go shopping without any bags. I'll admit that there could be perfectly reasonable situations that are

At first I thought this was kind of pointless, but I actually think this is a decent way to get to the basic principles of a file type. A sort of minimal-working-example of a file, giving you an overview of how the file works and what is re

I used a vim template plugin (I believe called vim-templates, believe it or not) to get some YAML and formatting boilerplate, and then I think I rendered against the default templates. I do remember having to adjust the defaults for some re

I wrote pretty much all my university work in Markdown with inline Latex, using Pandoc to generate a pdf. I'm sure there are things you can do in "pure" latex that you can't do this way, but for most normal cases, it&#x2

I think, bizarrely, the control pattern for mute "flows" the opposite way to the control for pause/play. If there's a play icon, and you click it, you expect it to play the video. If there's a pause button, you expe

It's hard to draw these lines, because you will certainly filter out a lot of bad (i.e. useless, low contribution to any field) papers, but you might also filter out some really important papers. Research being basic or something any

I'd also appreciate some kind of notes about what these tests actually represent. What's "Assorted DOM", and why is Firefox so much better (if the scale is representative of anything useful)?

I did a similar acoustic side-channel attack as final year project at uni. There's a treasure trove of findings in this area, I'm just waiting for someone to combine methodologies. There are pretty good results using geometric mod
