You can already do that with OpenCharacters at https://josephrocca.github.io/OpenCharacters/ . You just need to set up an API key with OpenAI, and you can customize hidden prompts for different characters, whom you can

That's an interesting point. I would point out another problem with this article based on my own experience living in metro Atlanta since 2001: many people, especially those moving to Atlanta from the Northeast, would likely have said

That's decidedly not what the article claims. It claims that there are people who live in the suburbs but would prefer not to, and provides evidence to support that claim. The same evidence acknowledges the existence of people who are

I've been thinking along the same lines for the last few years. If you did this, you could have a multi-user operating system in a single address space and avoid the cost of interrupts for system calls (which would just be like any ot

Why not define debug-req and debug-auth as atoms before this function, and set them with (reset! debug-req req) etc.?

The article points out that the phone-home domains this ransomware uses were generated by keyboard-mashing. Can we tell what keyboard layout was used?

I've had plenty of batteries swell, and none catch fire before I got them replaced, so I have to think it could help. In my experience Apple is not consistently good about dealing with this. In every case, I've ultimately been ab

In case you're not joking, MINIX is much smaller than 100KLOCs.

But one of the most important features of Clojure is that it's hosted on mature, decidedly non-Lisp platforms with plenty of well-maintained libraries, and it has clean, concise interop. If that's what a Lisp needs to become popu

You are vastly overestimating how happy millions of dollars will make you. Google around a little and you might actually put a negative number on it. If you get the numbers right, you will arrive at the same advice any financial advisor wo

That's a reasonable question. It's a shame this comment gets downvoted instead of the various people falling all over themselves to show off how smart they are by posting incorrect guesses about how undefined behavior doesn'

That's a design goal for cryptographic hash functions, which these are not.

It's "just" a business district within London, leaving aside a couple of millennia of history. London comprises the City and 32 boroughs, somewhat similarly to the way New York is made up of five boroughs, one of which is al

What does it mean to say that "the 1/2-inch chuck/collet/whatever is really machined to 12.7mm"? 0.5 inches is exactly 12.7 mm, so what else would it be machined to?

This is the illustration I see (I think it might be European): http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/64639000/jpg/_64639977... This is what very nearly every power outlet in the U.S. looks like, down to the color, vertical configuration,

Compared to the last time Google switched mapping databases, which I think was about three years ago, Apple Maps (for my town at least) has been remarkably accurate. For several months, Google Maps was putting my home address more than a m

I would suggest the following mental exercise the next time you want to make a comment on HN: Imagine you are at a dinner party at Paul Graham's house. He's there, obviously, along with several startup founders, aspiring founders, and a few

This is hardly a JavaScript quirk. In Clojure: hackclj.core=> Double/NaN NaN hackclj.core=> (== Double/NaN Double/NaN) false hackclj.core=> (= Double/NaN Double/NaN) false hackclj.core=> (.equ

send should never be used in a function that will not keep the CPU busy, such as one that calls Thread/sleep. send-off, which will allocate a new thread rather than taking up a slot in Clojure's fixed-size agent thread pool, should be used

Probably a lot of people hitting the up arrow to save the link to try out this evening. I plead guilty to doing that. I wish I'd read the comments first.

Ah, but PC Magazine has "9 things you need to know" about it, which includes an incorrect explanation of what a nanometer is. I think it's in a sidebar next to their "38 makeup tips for the summer" article.

Pick as many active users whose judgment you trust as you can find, train a Bayesian classifier on their votes, up and down, and use that to score the voting patterns of users. Set ignore for the ones with the worst scores. Even if it tur

This is a vastly different issue from subprime home loans. The key difference is that depreciation of cars is reasonably predictable; car prices are not typically subject to speculative bubbles.

That's pretty much all The Register does. As more practical advice, if you're doing something you don't want others associating with your IP address, use an anonymizer you feel you can trust.

Funny that this article praises C#'s generics over Java's type erasures, when Rich Hickey specifically cited the latter, and the convenience it creates for dynamic languages, as a reason for choosing the JVM over the CLR for his implementat

Yes, and since 1920 there have been changes in pretty much all the inputs to the luxury car price function, wealth distribution, production costs of pretty much everything, and what the Joneses that you're trying to keep ahead of can be exp

And bizarre comparisons at that, since the luxury car market can hardly be expected to be consistent in any meaningful way from 1920 to 2009.

I can tell you as a hirer I would most likely not seriously consider your resume. You might think that is unwise, but you clearly don't know what it's like to wade through a pile of crap from people who are obviously just spamming every jo
