You have some kind of bias in the dataset or the visualization. It's showing places in "Boston" to be south east of the city in a completely different location.

This can't be for real. The title asserts there is minimal downside to switching to open models, but the article provides zero evidence that this is true, and the author hasn't even attempted it yet. The end of the article states

Actual title: I had Claude code up a diff tool in Rust over the weekend My guess is this made it to the front page solely from the Rust boost.

Right, because I'm sure that's not what he's been doing this entire time. Everyone knows Google has been a shining beacon of goodwill since 2017.

So what you're saying is this hypothetically disabled person who is physically incapable of driving chose NOT to mention that, but instead chose to provide "I never got my drivers license" as their reason? And you're ask

We shouldn't trust the new project. Right from [1] you linked to: > The problems I kept running into: > - I'm lazy. That should tell you all you need to know about this super hype new fantastic GitHub written in Rust ! ! !

I thought I was the only one that did this. Double stay away if at the end you find out it was "made with love"

Don't waste your time responding to people like this. Their post is not much more than a passing thought where they take the headline fully at face value, and therefore are convinced it must be worth something and we should continue to

Now imagine a significant portion of your students are missing the prerequisites. Do you really think these professors are up in arms about a few students who don't have the prereqs? It obviously must be a large enough proportion to wo

What difference does it make if they heard of it, or how rare displays are vs pen/paper coding? I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-paper and e-ink displays, but the author clearly dropped the "e" to make it

What's funny is that these days if I see a Google product that I'm even remotely interested in, I just immediately write it off because I know it's something they will kill in a very short time frame. It's just never wor

This is the most HN thing ever. Someone works to create an ultimately useless tool because no matter what you find the answer to be, the solution is the same: -- Attenuate loud noises -- Which is exactly what they ended up doing > With a

Maybe you had trouble re-reading your own comment but I can tell by how you responded here (a cascade of links/references) and a snarky comment ("I can keep going if you'd like") that I'm sure the doctor was glad to

I love that you're looking to "spawn some special relationships" but are unwilling to ask for a name/number. There's no app in the world that will stop you from "wishing" you took action in getting some gi

I guess "I poured some concrete into a mold and put a power outlet in it" wouldn't be as eye catching of a title. This is one of those things where someone does something incredibly simple, but dresses it up in pretty languag

Right, so let's add more risk by flying side by side with some nutjob with no regard for their own life. Sounds reasonable.

It absolutely does. The model that came closest simply used that model twice in the same equation. One for the cup and one for the air.

Is this for real? This is like someone with no background in physics or engineering wondering "can a LLM predict the trajectory of my golf ball". They then pontificate about how absolutely complex all of the interacting phenomenon

> I also find the reasoning in "Why track your sleep at all? If you’ve had a crap night, you’ll wake up tired." weird. That's the equivalent of saying "Why track your blood pressure at all? If you've had a proble

You're right. The name is just classic gatekeeping and elitist, clearly. I am 100% certain that's why they chose it. If they really cared about inclusion, they would have called it research.io

I hope they ramp up their blocking of AI access. The last thing we need is providers like this getting hammered by AI

Who do you imagine the users were back when it was being developed?

Yeah but now they're using npm to install a million packages to do things like tell if a number is greater than 10000. The chances of the programmer wanting to understand the underlying system they are using is essentially nil.

Two very big revelations here that I would love to know more about: 1. Can you reveal "what's actually happening behind the scenes" beyond the hint you gave? I can't figure it out. 2. Can you explain how an ants sense of
