Not sure I understand what I'm looking at. At 0:47, which one is the e-ink, left hand side or right hand side? Initially I thought the e-ink was on the left hand side, but it has SO MUCH GLARE. Also on the intro at 0:10 you can see the

Meh. People know dates are intervals. You just have to use it properly. All libs make assumptions. For example, this lib makes the assumption that years and months have a fixed length, e.g. date(2024Q2) - date(2024Q1) = 3 months

Sounds like you wanted me to say "5% is a big number" and then you would say "it's not compared to these other things". Sorry to burst your talking point. Yeah, it's more complicated than that, I'm glad yo

Yes. The longest comment on this thread starts out by saying there's so many typos. These might not be state actors, but like you said, a blind man can see that when someone's comment on genocide is "the article has so many t

I asked first. You didn't answer so I don't feel the need to answer either. Also, your disingenuity (implying without stating that 5% is small) already convinced me that you're not in good faith, so this wouldn't be prod

Weird that you choose to focus on the quality of the material. Surely the underlying fact that Israel is committing genocide is a lot more important?

Absolutely. Furthermore I've started hearing people calling it "the Palestinian Holocaust" (I think it's entirely fitting). Israel has owned that word for very long as has used it as an asset that they milk. It's ab

The x-axis is in CPU cycles (10^0 means 1 cycle). If you CPU runs on 1000MHz that's 10^9 cycles per second. On that CPU the right hand side of the picture corresponds to 1ms. You can do 1 million register-register operations in 1ms, or

On HN, reddit counts as a negative signal. You link to reddit directly and most HNers will instantly downvote. I keep telling people here that reddit is actually an underappreciated goldmine, but I guess feeling better than others feels too

AI doesn't "know" anything. It produces all kinds of things: truths, lies, and nonsense. Pressing a button labeled "I'm not a bot" is the same.
