I saw the 1996 FLT documentary in high school calculus class. For me, it forever cemented that archetype of modern math researcher at the top of my mental “smart” totem pole. It also convinced me I had no interest in that path. Setting asid

Great example of writing about AI that maintains a human voice. Starting off the post with a picture of the author + nod to real-world experience (climbing) is a reasonably strong “this is not slop” signal.

I could see this being a great activity in a high school civics class. Very creative. One rule that tripped me up is: > If two parties tie in a district, nobody wins it. This isn't realistic as ties don't happen in practice in

“Jeeves’ spirit endures.” This goes hard. While he never married or had children, Jeeves is survived by his brother software butlers Jenkins and Alfred who have asked the public for privacy during this difficult time.

This won’t drain accounts with balances above the maximum daily transfer limit. To get past that, you’ll need to get on a phone with the bank.

What do you mean by “the decimal value of the price can even determine if the item is being phased out” ?

Heads up OP: I’m trying to get a pro license but your checkout flow is borked. Probably should fix ASAP before missing out on HN front page traffic.

I don't think that was the intent. If anything, 90%+ of these features here feel nice-to-have, and I bet OP agrees (or is neutrally sharing the comp).

I hope, with the velocity unlocked by these tools, that more pure ports will become the norm. Before, migrations could be so costly that “improving” things “while I’m here” helped sell doing the migration at all, especially in business sett

The lone ranger donor route feels severely suboptimal, unless perhaps if the donor is a .001%er pledging a large share of their net worth. Imagine if this anonymous person worked with a foundation pledging to match $3.5M if said amount was

Do you really think it’s equal or are you contesting the value creation/capture dichotomy writ large?

Excellent series, I've been reading for a few years now! Q for OP: looking back at your 8 posts, I don't see you ever reflecting on loneliness (or lack thereof) as part of your founder journey. Yet both founder friends and anecdot

The supersized option in a line of products is always funny for some reason. Last week I chuckled upon seeing this online store's inventory of coffee makers: ...10 cups, 12 cups, 18 cups, 50(!) cups: https://www.bialetti.com

I didn’t know it was called crosswordese! I wonder what the most common term used is. As a very occasional player, for some reason ARIA, IBIS, and VENI/VIDI/VICI stick out, but I’m sure it’s actually one with an E.

I see 16 coffees received. Assuming no private donations for simplicity, that’s $48. As an ads noob, how many sessions would a banner ad need to beat that?

Most text composition involves backspaces and cursor movement. This script simulated neither afaik, though I’m sure it could have without much more difficultly. Probably you will need to track many signals like those and use a model that ta

This quote stuck out to me as well, for a slightly different reason. The “tenacity” referenced here has been, in my opinion, the key ingredient in the secret sauce of a successful career in tech, at least in these past 20 years. Every indus

Satisfying to see all the payload request and response sizes in bytes not kb. Q: the display just starts at 0 and increments comment id by 1 every 10 seconds. Has the device caught up to latest? If you power cycle it, do you have to run thr

I have several young cousins (gen z) who use TikTok as their Google. Recipes, travel ideas, news, fashion, shopping, how-to videos. While of course a lot of their usage is passive scrolling that trains their algorithm, they're very ade

UI feedback: on mobile (I’m on iOS safari), when I search tours with the 3 inputs on the home page, it’s not obvious there are results since they appear off screen further down the page. For a bit I thought search was totally broken.

No cause is known yet, but based on the videos, what’s the most likely reason for crashes? Bad tracks? Some human error resulting in collision?
