I know what you're saying but elegance is not simply an aesthetic concern. The value of a proof is not only its conclusion but also the insight that it provides through its method. The goal of mathematics is not to prove as many theore

Also, having one standard packaging format and registry doesn't preclude having alternatives for special use cases. There should be a happy path for the majority of C++ use cases so that I can make a package, publish it and consume oth

The best thing the C++ WG could do is to spend an entire release cycle working on modules and packaging. It's nice to have new features, but what is really killing C++ is Cargo. I don't think a new generation of developers are goi

I didn't intend it as a swipe, more as an invitation for the creator to write a comment explaining the development process. I have no problem with people using AI to make things, even for a Show HN. I myself use AI as does I assume alm

by zarzavat 7mo ago
Every Show HN should come with an AI disclosure detailing exactly how much AI was used to create it. It's not that using AI is bad per se , but I don't want to be a human critiquing an AI's work, it's hard to respond i

Phones tend to be designed by companies competent enough to design a phone. There's a skill floor required that just doesn't exist for power banks. Another reason is that phones get replaced more frequently, whereas a power bank w

Yes but it's the files that are the important part. If I had malware then the fate of the hardware is at the bottom of my priority list, I'm probably going to be replacing it anyway. I'd be more concerned that someone is goin

People obsess about SIP but just remember that SIP does nothing to prevent the most common type of malware (ransomware). If you use SIP and use package managers (npm, cargo, pip, etc) outside of a VM you are substantially more vulnerable to

I don't know why anyone would want to use Apple tools if they are not developing for Apple platforms. Apple barely maintains compatibility for their own platforms, using Swift on a non-Apple platform is setting yourself up for doubule

There's not much profit in inference, it's heavily commoditized. There is an illusion of potential profitability because the closed-weight models are currently a step ahead of the open-weight models. However, if you ignore the clo

Any test that humans can pass and AIs cannot is a stepping stone on the way to AGI. When you run out of such tests then it's evidence that you have reached AGI. The point of these tests is to define AGI objectively as the inability to

Probably 90% of my devices run 5V DC or similar, but you can't run that through a home so you're back to needing AC. If you're going to have AC and DC then you might as well just have AC.

I read "this clever step" and immediately came to the comments to see if anyone picked up on it. It reads like a pop science article while at the same time being way too technical to be a pop science article. Turing test ain'

It's more like the VFX market is too small for OpenAI to bother killing. They are only interested in business models that can justify a trillion dollar valuation.

Arguably the country that has done the most to cement the Iranian regime is the United States with its sanctions. If Iran had been left to develop into a normal Middle Eastern oil-rich country then things might have turned out differently.

If your sudo password can be exposed by its length then you need a longer password. Hiding the length is just security theatre. In your specific example livestreams usually have audio so the length is already public.

It doesn't seem AI generated to me. Are we at the point where you have to write in a particularly outrageous style in order to not be accused of using AI?

A djungelskog is not a threat. AI threatens my livelihood and my humanity. The worst part is I have to use it regardless because I would be uncompetitive without it.

Where is the major win? Sorry but I just don't see the use case for free-threading. Native code can already be multi-threaded so if you are using Python to drive parallelized native code, there's no win there. If your Python code

I continue to believe that free-threading hurts performance more than it helps and Python should abandon it. Having to have thread safe code all over the place just for the 1% of users who need to have multi-threading in Python and can&#x27

In computer chess there's a concept of "contempt". When you set the engine to have high contempt it evaluates the opponent's moves lower, essentially assuming that the opponent will make a mistake. Conversely with low co
