I’m not clear on the process of getting all the material to the exact radius of the star. It seems like a society would build, at most, a sparse ring around the sun with their planet as an anchor point. Why would they build an entire sphere

Considering the open shenanigans they’ve been trying on the voting systems, it’s reasonable to believe they have been doing shenanigans the public hadn’t known about. The machinery of vote suppression is well known to these Jim Crow loving

Fried pickle chips $14. How am I supposed to enjoy myself?

A human author (well, an honest author) will try to talk through things and arrive at some point. What bugs me about AI generation is that it’s always simply a complication that grows out of a seed. “It’s not (complicated thing) — it’s (oth

No, but I’m getting really tired of seeing things that took less effort to write than it does to read. People have to process this AI-influenced LinkedIn-influenced SEO-optimized Reddit-template dung heap of worthless content-style and get

Not overthinking can be a superpower, but writing eloquently can be a superpower, and not trailing cliches behind your pen can be a superpower.

by hyperhello 24d ago
“Can be a superpower” is so empty. What does that mean outside of trying to proliferate some cliche?

Oh, I bet the author is kicking himself for not including a blinking high-brightness class.

What I guess this all leads to is that we’re trying to create some kind of DSA that doesn’t have the possibility to hang or crash the way imperative programs must have the ability to if they are to be effective. So it seems like web design

I mean the action and target attributes don’t seem to appear anywhere else but the popover api. I’m in favor of HTML dialogs, I just don’t see the point in the trend of making everything into this declarative nightmare it’s becoming when we

popovertarget="example-dialog" popovertargetaction="hide" It’s all binding. This is what JavaScript is for: dynamic content.

I don’t understand why the group invented these new attributes and methods of action for dialogs that don’t seem relevant to anything else. Was there some silly patent to work around?

But that is an excellent way to show how long it takes to someone who doesn’t understand.

No it isn’t. They did a test with great specificity and got undeniable P values. Now they can refine the action and start saving people. This is a huge, huge win.

I don’t understand the message the page design is supposed to send. Hierarchical areas and buttons just look ridiculous. If it’s AI design, good for you not wasting time doing something you don’t care about, but you could have equally commu

I think there’s value in the concept of “an uninteresting amount”. When I cooked breakfast I used my stove and a pan and stuff and I put some seasoning on. Even though I enjoyed my morning routine, I’m unable to produce any fascinating triv

Is there a word for the right amount of engineering? Kind of a negative concept of not engaging in performative conceptualization. Just doing it in a way that the implementation was natural and not worth writing home about.

That would be offset by a one-time surplus of Godzilla meat.

I think you’re way off. Hate is absurd, I don’t even know him. He’s automatically being downvoted for hyping his own product on HN, although he’s certainly not plugging it too hard.

Okay, but I feel assured your book will be astonishingly boring.

Anyone can put a blue stripe on top of a web page full of scrolling pictures that have hierarchical chat bubbles underneath, and always could. What is destroying Facebook going to do really?

True, but why wouldn’t AI write the article? No one is doing anything real for any real purpose except playing with AI here.

A flight number, I believe, is assigned to a regular round trip in general. So this is no more unusual than, say, the 42 bus arriving at the stop as the 42 bus is departing across the street.

It's supposed to be impossible to prove a negative. But it might still happen some day. We just don't know.

Okay, I had the problem going the other way. I assumed the n was a symbol on the previous number, like an f suffix in C. But even still, 2^(0.6039n) could have been rendered in a nice way stripping out the parenthesis, leaving the core text

For those who don’t have math extensions in the browser, if that is 2^0.6039, then why don’t math extensions just detect math syntax and style it directly?

What’s wrong with this idea, really? It’s redundant because you can serve HTML to requests with Apache or Ngnix or any other server on the happy path. What’s right with the idea, really? It’s exactly what the tried and true preferences of d
