Oh man am I totally going to determine the 10^10^10th digit of π and cement my name in the annals of history.

Usually Doctorow is tedious in his presentation mainly because of how angry he is at what he's reporting on. It's not that it's unwarranted, it just hard to digest because of it. This article, which eventually arrives at Amaz

I hate what I’m about to write, but alas, here we are. I respect the work of this developer. However, I cannot view his demo. Too many compromises have to be made to access it, the least egregious of which is that to view video content on t

This article is really about the inline assembly syntax developed for the author's programming language Odin (and definitely nothing about TALs, typed assembly languages). There are a lot of interesting ideas here. One of my criticisms

For me, the primary issue is as follows. As the audience on HN has grown the rate of submissions has vastly increased. It used to be possible to follow new submissions which meant you could catch those gems of thoughtful submissions that di

In the future, which I guess is now, John-types will have to decide between wrangling agents, or being tool calls for things agents can’t themselves do. I’m not at all against AI, however very intelligent people are empowering corporate mas

I don’t really want to participate in this discussion, however: As I stand on the flats of Salt Lake, the Earth is definitely flat. Also, I’m sure there are brown cows that produce milk that’s turned to chocolate milk. And since I didn’t di

You give me a rational candidate for √2 and by the argument of the submitted article I “construct” another rational candidate with strictly smaller numerator and denominator. You give me a rational candidate p/q for log 2 and by the ar

To be a little more concrete, what it means to prove a negation ¬P (not P) is to assume P and construct an impossibility from it, like 0=1 (assuming those symbols exist in the theory you are working with) or more generally A∧¬A (A and not

I don't think this is an IPv6 address literals problem per se, but instead a URL encoding/specification problem. There really is too much historical baggage here to unpack. That's why URL routing is delicate, not to mention c

The problem with this ambition is that it turns mathematics into software development. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this per se, however what happens is that, as in software, certain ideas get ossified. That’s why, for example, eve

I agree. It’s the same specious argument that equates a human experiencing a work, be it art or code, with AI training on that work. I wanted here to write a more detailed rebuttal, but I ended up deleting it all. I don’t think people like

I believe they were attempting to link to https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/454 a paper titled How to Win the Clone Wars: Efficient Periodic n-Times Anonymous Authentication.

Thanks for the link to the post. I also watched her talk posted elsewhere in these comments. We’re lucky to have people like her doing the hard work for free software. > most of the reasons are probably not even technical, but legal&#x2F

I don’t know which of my detractors to respond to, so I’ll respond here. It should be clear that I’m only interested in compute and not a GPU expert. GPUs, from my understanding, have lost the majority of fixed-function units as they’ve b
