The punchline seems to be: > "the post, that after some hours vanished from the top page of Hacker News" This doesn't sound any different than any other post on HN. I'm not sure the author really did anything?! They

Can't open-source programmers improve their own open-source code with Copilot? Does the inherent improvements that all Copilot offers just not apply to people who write open-source code? I understand that there is a balance, but as an

A 1200 playing full games in their head sends up some warning flags to me?! I'm over 1500 on Lichess (yes, ELO calculation is not the same, but likely within 300 points at that level?!) and can't even dream of doing that. Did your

I tend to agree that there are interesting things like this, or at least there are interesing things to consider. Perhaps there is need for a "shadow HN", it's a forum explicitly for the purposes of discussing the meta of po

This is against terms of use here, many of us have been nailed stating similar for other posts. The guideline is "assume the best" (or something like that).

There is no markup in the former, you just get highlighted words whenever there is any (capitalized) camel case word. Hit enter on the word and you get to the new file. Super lightweight, super efficient. I don't render most of the no

Great! I know there was a hiatus at one point. It's definitely a cool feed. I worked with one of the OPs there, might have to send him a PM to see what's up. Twitter via scientists can be nice. There are a good number of people

The ML model is an entomologists/arachnologist trained for 5+ years, if not decades. Start training with data from iNaturalist, but then realize they are already using AI detection models, and they note they are far from accurate, and

Completely agreed. This is a common type of page associated with extension units. They are written by, and for those who are doing pest-control style work, for example. There is much room for improvement, including better diagnostic to

@recluseornot on Twitter was run by some very good entomologists I know. They had to stop because of the workload. What someone needs to do, perhaps, is to use that corpa of images and responses as the start of the all-powerful AI. Better

You are not driving a completely custom car off the lot right after you buy it in the US. So this is not a convenience relative to the OP. Furthermore, in the present market you may indeed buy a car, but it is highly unlikely to be what yo

I suspect many people that frequent HN could use the MinION to generate the raw data, but generating gigabytes of DNA reads != assembling a genome. Remember, only this year the very first genome for any human was "completed".

"Genome" is used so loosely here (it always is in Science/Nature + Phylogeny papers), it's not the full totality of RNA/DNA in the organism the that is being compared. Similar sequences are aligned into "genes&

Thanks much, contributions, however small, are greatly appreciated. We're starting to unify docs at https://docs.taxonworks.org . I've updated the link to point to the corresponding location there.
