I think people are focusing on the training data issue too much. If the data was contaminated, I can still blame that on negligence. But, at least with the Navier-Stokes solution, it's clear [^1] that they learned that Alpöge and Buckm

> it was a whole team at OpenAI working on the problem Well, a whole team plus $15 million in compute spend. (That's what OAI would have charged for the same number of tokens.)

For sure. But I can definitely produce something good enough to get the job done in a much shorter time by bootstrapping myself from an LLM output and editing from there. (I do edit. Raw LLM output is such a drag to read. Too low signal.)

I don't care if anyone else cares that my code has my voice. My voice doesn't add value to the code. But what other people think of my code is entirely beside the point that I'm trying to make. To me, code is a creative endea

I am using LLMs more and more to help me write docs at work, simply because I do not have time to start these docs from scratch. And it pains me so much that my writing no longer sounds like me. This is fine at work, I guess. I'm not b

I know I'm in the minority, but WFO works great for me. My office is in walking distance of my home. I get great office perks (lunch, coffee, quality meeting rooms, good desk and workspace). And having a second space for work that is n

That shell snippet will expand shell variables in double-quote strings. And apparently the entire reason for this fork is to not do that. Which is dumb. The canonical spec for .env should just be "whatever POSIX sh does."

One of eight color choices. Last one in the list. If anything, the argument works better as a reason to remove gray from the list.

The use of grayscale is a bit disingenuous. Gray is not the default color theme on macOS. The default is blue. So the criticism about using right/left to distinguish on/off doesn't really apply. In reality, the use of color d

The organicness of the original was really fun. Dunno if coordinating here really fits the HN vibe, but also go where the people are.

Are we coordinating factions here, like the original r/place? The social aspect was such a big part of the original. I'll start: # PURPLE FRAME # Our mission is to draw a purple frame around the canvas. 2 rows of blank space betwe

The Turis Omnia runs a derivative of OpenWrt. They provide a custom UI with an option to switch to LuCI. It's easy to flash it to upstream OpenWRT, which is what I do.

The journal regularly includes commentaries and editorials on political and economic topics [1][2]. Political talks regularly occur at the conference [3]. In fact, the trigger to all of this was a scheduled talk by Jay Bhattacharya, Directo

So you're concerned about my use of the word "paper." That's fair I guess. But the editorial in question was in fact published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Just so that we're all clear on the facts: - The

The editor-in-chief of a journal handing out a paper that was published in that journal at a conference for that journal... is quite different from ranting about space lizards in a public square. Your argument is a strawman: you are refutin

Well now I gotta ask. What's up with CyberChron? The only thing I can find on Google is a website straight out of 1999 and lawsuit from 1995. They're obviously a US military contractor, but that's all I can tell.

I say it's the "standard" because all new public APIs must conform to the latest AIPs. But yes, Google has plenty of legacy APIs. And yes, GCE in particular is a HUGE pain.

Google has a similar clause in their employee contracts. I assume most tech companies do. That doesn't mean it is enforceable, though.

Well, it depends on the language. In Javascript, promises are eager and start executing immediately. They return control back to the caller when they need to wait. So in practice, all of your promises are running concurrently as soon as you

IIUC, this crate has similar restrictions to the std Mutex. So it depends on what you mean by "work with async code." First, lock acquisition seems to be a blocking method. And I don't see a `try_lock` method, so the naive pa
