I mean you can compare, but at the start it was also super small improvements. The main difference is that people had no idea of the disruption it would cause and of course there wasn't there a huge investment industry around it. The o

It's just part of both getting feedback and general sales. For engineers it feels too pushy / not genuine, but after spending time / effort on a great non-generated interesting article, inserting a link for people who want to

Some feedback from me (not a likely user though): - It was easier to find a link to where you worked at than your repo ( https://github.com/skaldlabs/skald?tab=readme-ov-file ), you should have linked it visibly - I had

It's not just 1 old man. Most of the wars Trump does is just a logical continuation of the military industrial complex strategy, he just doesn't hide it at all. Venezuela was already a target, Panama was already conquered, and I&#

You changed what I wrote: it's not about non-citizens voting or not, it's about requiring identification by law at polling, which is required in every other democratic country. As an example in in late 2024 in California Governor

Not really, I'm on the side of the constitution, I'm usually on the other side (ICE), but here they could and should have easily just waited, went through the law to be able to deport to Liberia again and do the whole process lega

He didn't have to if he could just get Trump be thrown out of social media.

It's quite simple, some states want to allow voting without identity cards that prove that they are citizens of the country. I don't know of any other country that would allow it, but I know other countries where people in power u

It's because there is extremism both on the left and right: the left thinks that the right wants a power grab to stop left from coming back, and the right thinks that if they don't keep their power now, the left will take it and k

It's not only US, it's global. I drive quite a lot throught southern Europe with my EV, and it's super frustrating that gas stations have the infrastructure on the highway while for my EV I have to go just outside the highway

One interesting thing for me is NVIDIA coming out with its reasoning model for self driving. If it works well, Tesla's strategy of keeping the car minimal/cheap to produce but with enough sensors and an upgradable hardware may bec

This article creates more questions than answers. - Will the rare earth minerals be mined eventually? As far as I see EU is going into that direction as well, as Greenland became so strategic over time - What happens with all the land right

I'm not sure why you think my account is overtaken, but it's all real (I haven't used any LLMs and I'm not a native English speaker). U.S. politics is not something people from other countries like me can just ignore as

The part (as a person of another country) that I don't understand is why people even here on HN is so much against people whose job is to arrest people who broke federal laws. As I see those laws are not really knew, they were just not

First congrats! Sometimes when I'm using new LLMs I'm not sure if it’s a step forward or just benchmark hacking, but formalized math results always show that the progress is real and huge. When do you think Harmonic will reach for

Noone can, but it's much easier to verify / prosecute people using credit cards (especially as credit card companies take it very seriously as well)

It mainly depends on how much NVIDIA is overselling the improvements. With adding RL functions, separating prefill and decode chips, nvfp4 and lots of other architectural changes efficiency of the most valuable tasks goes up as long as the

As long as people all over the world are using ChatGPT and GMail they have all the intel needed to control the world, just like they won wars by all telegrams going through them in the 1800s. China is their only competitor, but so far peopl

I still don't understand why some people wanted to capture Putin so much and now against Maduro capture when clearly Maduro has done something uncomparably worse to the people in his country. Greenland is of course a very different dea

Docstrings and comments are amazing to be able to work with huge code bases with big teams where you don't want to understand the whole code base, because it's impossible. If the goal is to not abstract anything away, and always l

I think it's an amazing experiment. You can look at the PyTorch code base and understand a small local function instantly, but if I would have a task to have a deep understanding of either PyTorch with all kernel code and low level cod

As a foreigner travelling inside USA: people are super nice here in real life, and I see much less politics in real life than on Hacker News. Be sure to create your ESTA a few workdays before though, as long as you have it you will have a g

There is, I just believe that generally people on the left have different viewpoint on this article than people on the right, and that's the main deciding factor. And whenever that's true, the comments get politically heated witho

Another interesting news item that has nothing to do with hacking and a great target for being flagged for being controversial.

This article is underselling of how much was achieved in proof formalizing for math in the last few years and how close it is to being solved. If we disregard programming and just look at formalizing math (Christian Szegedy has been doing i

For doubling success I suggest ruining the product slowly and testing how crappy the product can still be while the customer is still paying for the brand (as he's expecting some improvement for the higher price), and voila, we've
