Could you just have superhuman Go AI just how good humans are somewhat more objectively? Not without flaws of course, but probably interesting

Their founder guy says[1] they found some other bugs while doing this that they will report soon, so if that is true, seems more plausibly like a pretty generic thing. Looking forward to seeing the other bugs they found. 1. https:/&#x

It occasionally leads to kinda ambiguous headlines, e.g. "China opens world's longest undersea tunnel" vs "China opens longest undersea tunnel" It's a little unclear if it's the longest undersea tunnel in

I learned a few years ago that HN also editorializes by dropping "world's" from titles Before: Teens break record for world's longest kickball game After: Teens break record for longest kickball game

I use Codex CLI or Claude Code I don't even necessarily ask it to fix the bug — just identify the bug Like if I've made a change that is causing some unit test to fail, it can just run off and figure out where I made an off-by

I routinely leave codex running for a few hours overnight to debug stuff If you have a deterministic unit test that can reproduce the bug through your app front door, but you have no idea how the bug is actually happening, having a coding a

AI detectors in general are unreliable, but there are a few made by serious researchers that have only 1-in-10000 false positive rate, e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.14873 Having worked in a bigcorp, I've read my

While reading the text, my mental AI alarm bells were going off, sent it all to pangram.com and it flags both the layoff post and his campaign website text as being 100% AI generated

Weird to me that nobody ever posts the actual alleged false positive text in these criticisms I've yet to see a single real Pangram false positive that was provably published when it says it was, yet plenty such comments claiming they

I sent the text through an AI detector with 0.1% false positive rate and it was highly confident the Zig book introduction was fully AI-written

The other pangram mention elsewhere in this comment section is also me -- I'm totally unaffiliated with them, just a fan of their tool I specify the accuracy and false positive rate because otherwise skeptics in comment sections might

It's AI-written FWIW though maybe AI is getting to the point it can do stuff like this somewhat decently

Pangram[1] flags the introduction as totally AI-written, which I also suspected for the same reasons you did [1] one of the only AI detectors that actually works, 99.9% accuracy, 0.1% false positive

I started with basic Newton-Raphson solver too but found cases where it diverges but Excel somehow doesn't, so concluded that Excel has some kind of extra logic to handle more cases, so I also bolted on more fallback logic.

I work on an Excel-compatible spreadsheet startup (rowzero.com) and had to implement these. One tricky part is RATE involves zero-finding with an initial guess. The syntax is: RATE(nper, pmt, pv, [fv], [type], [guess]) Sometimes there are m

Searched around and found it. It was actually Ashton Kutcher's interview with Eric Schmidt. Kutcher mentions the establishing shots, and I'd forgotten also points out the utility for relatively short stunt sequences. > Why woul

I saw a famous actor-director (can't remember who, but an A-list guy) said it would be super valuable even if you only use it for establishing shots. Like you have an exterior shot of a cabin, the surrounding environment, etc — all gen

Where would you make make the cut that takes advantage of object store parallelism? That is, at what layer of the stack do you start migrating some stuff to the new strongly consistent system on the live service? You can't really do it

Our startup, rowzero.io, easily handles tens of millions of rows and is a subset of Excel. Leave us feedback in the app if there are any missing features you need.

In general if you actually do the erasure coding math, almost all distributed storage systems that use erasure coding will have waaaaay more than 11 9s of theoretical durability S3's original implementation might have only had 11 9s,

Author of the tweet here. A few notes: 1. No cherry picking 2. This was the original ChatGPT, i.e. the GPT3.5 model, pre-GPT4, pre-turbo, etc 3. This capability was present as early as GPT3, just the base model —- you'd prompt it like

We actually have two versions of this test. One does 100% totally random actions. The other tries to simulate an actual user (i.e. maintains the state of their cursor, which sheet they are looking at, etc), but still quite random. So the fo
