If the AI is going to lie and cheat on the code it writes (this is the largest thing I bump into regularly and have to nudge it on), what makes the author think that the same AI won't cheat on the proof too?

The way the execs talk down to employees now is really depressing to read about. That's a really unfortunate culture change since I was there.

Question for @kens -- this circuit you found, how would Intel have designed and tested this?

Quality has not gone up. Products are deliberately made to fail sooner by Chinese manufacturers who are reducing costs on super tiny margins. The mantra that "consumers get lower prices and everything is better as a result" delibe

Dude I think the whole "we're going to fire you" thing is weird on Apple's part. Look at how good the color picker became once it became yours. A bunch of resource string names should not be a big deal.

Much too quiet here on HN on this post Science underpins technology, people. If you want to see the US rapidly lose its place in the tech world over the next decade, this is a great way to go about it.

What's old is new again. Some of the same techniques used to keep pre-MacOS-X applications responsive, back when MacOS was cooperatively scheduled, show up here. This begs the question of what is a reasonable programming model? In the

This looks fantastic. I particularly love how cool things look at the different perspectives -- presumably this is because you did the hard work of making the planet at realistic scale? Thanks for sharing the process. It was fascinating!

This is great and all, but will we be addressing the fact that the acceptance rate of these institutions are all artificially low? The size of freshman classes are the same or smaller than the same in the 1980s, and the population of the co

And this is how we operationalize age discrimination. Note the layoffs of middle management announced at the same time. Force everyone into the office, ideally through a difficult commute into an area that it's very expensive to have a

Why would Facebook not just block messages from Nigeria to rando North American towns at this point? Shouldn't the network analysis required to detect this sort of crime ring be a slam-dunk at this point? I don't get how this is s

All these complaints about laws banning these bags are kind of whiny considering how not a big deal this is. C'mon.

What's striking about this article is Gates's refusal, even now, to say anything bad about Welch. Why is that? The vast majority of the bar culture problems are traceable to Welch, as is the shadiness of GE Capital.

Hmm...dealerships who make most of their money on service don't like to sell EVs, maybe? Surprise? Have had a Mach E for going on 3Y with 20K miles on it and it's literally needed cabin air filters and windshield washer fluid in

Yeah I saw this process unfold over my decade there as well. I'm very grateful for my time there, my colleagues, and the great work we did (go Monarch team!). The latest evolutions there make me sad.

Yeah I worked in here for Lucent before the OG dotcom crash. It's a pretty neat building. When you went in back in those days, there was a big communication satellite suspended over the entry lounge, with various things like telephon

I find the anthropomorphisms of "swallowed" and "ate" and "cheated death" so annoying that it's hard to read the article. I really wish science writers would tone this nonsense down. It gets in the way.

The most significant of these, the Commodore 64, had a social leveling effect as well. The Apple II and the IBM PC were essentially unaffordable for all but the well off. However, selling 10 million Commodore 64s at essentially 1/4-1&#
