From what I understand the point is precisely not having to straight up say out loud why, "attacking renewable energy solutions without necessarily questioning the science that the climate is changing due to human activity". Two a

I don't think I agree with calling that question "simple". I could probably speak non-stop an entire hour before we even leave my local computer: electric impulses, protocol between keyboard and PC, BIOS, interruptions, ASCII

I think that's only true if you assume that the AI bubble will never burst. Bitcoin didn't replace cash, Blockchain didn't replace databases and NoSQL didn't make SQL obsolete. And while I have been wrong before, I'

The string length in C is "whatever number of bytes are there between the beginning of the string and the first \0 character". That's different from "how much memory is being used by this string" because you usually

While I wouldn't comment the way the OP comment did, I see the comment as a response to the hype of "the new version of the model is so good, you would be an idiot if you didn't start firing your PhDs right now". Hype br

The Internet evolved from Arpanet, a network established by DARPA. Given that was created by a government agency, and therefore funded by the same taxes companies are trying to avoid, I'd argue that it's a great example for why co

In theory: they can ask for ID, sworn affidavit, or whatever other means their local laws determine to be valid. At the end of the day, proving that someone owns something is not a new problem. I've also seen "here's some evi

For the record, if you're in the EU you can make a GDPR request to their Data Protection Officer - since it's your data what's being kept away from you, you have the right to at least a backup. It can take months and it only

I don't think inefficiency is the right word. In fact, I'd argue the exact opposite: that one of the main problems with education is that every single administrator has been trying to optimize it to death for the wrong metrics, na

Any course on making "almost anything" that doesn't include sewing is short-changing its students. And given that I see neither woodworking nor welding, I'd argue that the course should be renamed to "How to make so

This article feels to me less like a proposal and more like a capitulation - "we are being overwhelmed by garbage so we might as well embrace the garbage". I have no objection to the "writing with LLMs" part - if you wan

I'm all in for finding beauty in our daily lives, but I'm not sure diamonds are more special than other things we take for granted. Oil and helium have also taken millions of years to form, and yet no one spends a second before bu

I want to disagree: HN is social media, but it is not a social network. For it to be a social network there should be a way for me to indicate that I want to hear either more or less of you specifically, and yet HN is specifically designed

I think you're painting with too wide a brush. Someone may say, like in this post, "AI makes my work easier", and that may be a valid point. Someone else may say "AI has made my work much harder" [1], and that'

My take is that "expat" immediately indicates that someone has no intention to stay for good (unlike immigrants) and that they'll leave as soon as it's convenient because of course they won't stay here for good. I
