I feel like HN shouldn't auto-capitalize "λ" in this instance. An anonymous function is a λ, not a Λ.

I love to see the community putting in the work to keep these old machines working with new Apple products! Just wish Apple would be willing to step up their support; I suspect most Apple customers will simply buy a new machine to ensure co

Here's another good reason to think in turns: it turns Euler's formula from this Eldritch Terror: e^(i*x) = cos(x) + i*sin(x) into something you can kinda understand by staring at the complex plane: -1^(2x) = cost(x

It is well known that forcing a sudden drop in chronically high average blood glucose (like, from 200+ to a normal ish range) with insulin can cause vision loss. I wonder if it's the same mechanism?

I read this story in 4th grade. It felt like the future. Now, it feels like most of the technology is within reach - at least, it could be built. The automated stove being the main exception. But the most unrealistic part of this story is

I refuse to believe there's not a database backup somewhere. Such careful curators would surely hate to destroy it!

More feedback: - I was intently staring at letters and didn't notice you get a definition as a hint! Maybe the hint UI needs a tweak. - it needs to allow permutations that are also words, or at least provide an additional reward for fi

It reminds me of Wordflower. I like this! With one caveat: The word games that have been posted in the last few days feature a timer component, and it's game over when you miss the timer. I think they'd be more rewarding if it wer

I don't know JAX, but can this trick be applied as a higher-level function to autodiff-capable languages like JAX?

Surely SIMD combined with multiple streams would beat both approaches. (This would be separate streams in each SIMD lane and separate streams in different SIMD variables.) There are multiple SIMD execution units, just like the 6 scalar

Cyclists doing whatever they feel like is status quo everywhere. Now I'm most important sidewalk user! Now I'm a car! Now the traffic rules don't apply to me! (Not all cyclists do this. But the rude ones are common enough tha

For reticle-limit chips, it's on the order of 100. And less than that once you filter out bad dies.

Can't believe I had to scroll for this. Trust the OEMs to do something very close to what enthusiasts might want, then immediately torpedo it with "but we won't sell it to you." This level of conversion isn't exactl

It kinda does have that effect, because large companies are allergic to AGPL by policy, even if they otherwise have processes to get GPL software into use. The very companies that have the pocketbook to pay for your software, are also struc

Here's a question: I don't understand the gap between these LLM powered voice agents vs CLI coding agents, the latter of which are obviously useful and quite resourceful at getting something done when asked in plain English. Seems

This is a weird comment because I feel the same about getting macOS to a useable place. I probably have 5 or 6 things installed on my Mac like Scroll Reverse and Rectangle, just trying to beat the window manager into something that resemble

I noticed this almost immediately when attempting to switch to Opus 4.6. It seems very post-trained to hack something together; I also noticed that "simplest fix" appeared frequently and invariably preceded some horrible slop whic

This is a fantastic explanation. Thank you. The only part I am not following is how it is guaranteed that 1 bit is sufficient for the error value. Is this something the Lloyd-Max algorithm is responsible for ensuring? (Seems to me that if y

Ooh this gives me an interesting passive-aggressive idea to counter pointless "is this still relevant" questions. "No, I haven't hit this in the last 2 days." "No, I haven't hit this since I gave up trying

There are lots of subtle LLM-ism sentence structures that you can perceive, sort of subconsciously. Spend any amount of time with Claude and you'll unconsciously start to copy them. This essay has several: Sentence structures, heading
