USAA had a similar issue for some time, but with the password field. One interface (web or mobile, I don’t remember) would silently truncate the password. You couldn’t even tell it was being truncated because it was all **!

Yeah, why not? Even if the railgun described was perfectly vertical, it would have 20km of length (vs presumably ~10m max for a military railgun that hits mach 3+). If I'm doing the math right, at 20km of length you need an acceleratio

You would think. The easier, five-color theorem proof fits in a few paragraphs but the four-color theorem really resists a simple explanation. Even the simplified 1990s version of the proof (which came ~20 years after the original proof and

That seems like a very weak “law”. Is it meant as a joke? The supporting evidence is just numbers pulled apparently from nowhere (“let’s assume…”) and the conclusion is wildly off base. They seem to imply that if optimization improves the p

So this would be kind of like hypnotic suggestion but for LLMs.

Yes, the problem here is that capitalism is good at some things (making microwaves cheap) and not others (dealing with externalities). We’ve let it be the dominant force shaping “progress” for quite some time, so we’ve made progress on a lo

iOS already has three-finger pinch to copy/paste, and three-finger swipe to undo/redo. But I find that these gestures are too unreliable for regular use, the gestures almost always activate some other click target plus my other fi

I disagree- on SO you’ll usually get some literal answers as well as the more high-level, question-the-premise ones. Why not both?

In this case, the question actually says “and more importantly, what do you think?” So the answer is actually on topic. It may be a bit… stylistically unusual, but I think I came away with a pretty good idea of what the answerer thinks.

Eyeballing the tps graph, OrioleDB is doing 5x tps while using 2x the CPU. So about 5/2=2.5x the CPU per transaction. Checks out.

Can you make “concise” mode more aggressively concise? Usually I just want a one-liner, but even in concise mode I usually have to wait through a preamble that repeats my question, setup steps and imports, etc.

I would love it if this had a voice input feature. I’ve never used voice input for search in the past, but LLMs are so good that typing has actually become a significant bottleneck. I’ve been using whisper through https://yakgpt.

I’ve made similar choices, ultimately taking a deep pay cut to do work that matches my values. But I’m aware that I did that out of decent financial security, not out of some deep moral courage. If writing spam was my only way out of povert

My life has changed since I learned that reusable zip ties are a thing. They have a little lever you can press to release the cam. They cost more of course, but I’m never going back.

The “code” example starts with an image recognition neural net prompt and ends 400 lines later by moving a turtle around the screen. I mean, we know AI isn’t very good at these things, but it’s pretty bold to use these as marketing examples

Points are a forcing function to agree on scope and have everyone think about complexity. Even if they’re upstream of nothing, they’re downstream of valuable discussions that get the team on the same page and support each other better. This

Thanks for the interpretation, very compelling if that's what they're showing. Sci-hub doesn't seem to have this paper so I haven't been able to read the whole thing. But from what I can see the data doesn't seem to

You can do that in Caltopo. They have a lot of really handy mapmaking features (like viewsheds and their “measure distance” tool that can snap to roads and trails), though their UI leaves a lot to be desired.

It is valuable for gov’t agencies to be able to act broadly on their mandates without needing congress to dictate everything. As the dissent puts it, “A key reason Congress makes broad delegations like Section 111 is so an agency can respon

One great tool for fighting complexity is to Always Consider Option Zero: whenever comparing possible solutions to a problem, consider the option (Option Zero) where you simply don’t solve the problem. It’s amazing how much it changes the c

Looking forward to trying this. Last time I searched around for a tool like this, all I found was OnTrajectory (which seems right up your alley). Do you have a comparison with that or other similar tools?

Right, I wonder how many of the “fake/invalid” tweets that OP observed are actually this bug in the analysis code. EDIT: actually it looks like it’s correct - evaluate_guess_char() only returns “M” if there’s an instance of the guess l
