I've learnt to mouse and keyboard the right handed way because it would just be too much hassle to switch over every setup I'm presented with. It does make me atrocious at drawing with a mouse though

I can usually twist my hand to push the blades together, but the cut line is always hidden by the top blade for me

I wonder how much the authors now understand their project? Like, if they were given a bug, would they be able to intuit a possible location in their files that might be causing it? Or are they now essentially locked in to using LLMs to wri

I've not heard testimonies by those survivors, no, but I have heard about a lot of other burn victims and survivors in mass casualty events. How about we both don't have nuclear weapons and also don't carpet bomb people?

Nuclear devices existed way before Putin. Currently, many countries hold the trigger. I appreciate that my wishing doesn't change anything, but I can't exactly do much about it concretely

Depends, do you consider death by burns and smoke inhalation to be worse than death by having your skin stripped off by the blast, your appendages completely burned off in an instant, people completely losing their mind, pregnant women dyin

I think that everybody who supports the use of nuclear weapons should look at these pictures and listen to the experiences by the survivors of the blast about what it was actually like just afterwards and think critically about if any creat

No, as opposed to code, which cannot simply be asked to work incorrectly

Yet again, simply asking an LLM to be naughty in the right way causes it to be naughty, and yet we still trust them with our code and data

From what I can tell, you can basically take your USB drive of "websites" to your friend, and sync it with their local folder of "websites", and now you both have the most up to date versions of your combined group of &q

Especially since, afaik, you plug it in and it just works. No messing around with installing operating systems, setting up users (aside from signing into steam) or anything. It's essentially a console that plays PC games, but it's

Given computer part prices recently because of new datacenters, I think the price is already justified, as they don't want to sell it at a loss

Latest update is that it is in orbit, which is a good sign (Not sure what the timeline of the mission is though) https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/07/03/mission-to-b... A really good video a

I'd probably want something other than an LLM running farming machines. I'd rather a purpose build machine learning system that is actually designed to run them, not just a tractor that goes "you're absolutely right! I i

Should probably have told the writers of Wicked to not associate Elphaba with a (children's book level) evil witch. I think the Wicked Witch of the West is pretty appropriate for JK

Given the amount of web scraping LLM providers have been doing, I'd say it's likely that any code that is publicly accessible on the internet has been incorporated into it's training data, whatever its license

I think the main functional reason is that because a human hasn't written the code, its potentially more likely to have subtle hidden bugs that a human cant explain because they didn't write it, as well as large pull requests that

Maybe it's just me, but I never really liked the detailed older mac icons, like the examples at the bottom of the page. I've always enjoyed more minimalist, simple user interfaces. And I can understand what Apple are trying to do

How does a Large Language Model process images then?

How do LLMs get information from images? Do they have to run essentially the opposite of an image generation model, taking an image and converting it into a description? I'm just concerned that the description wouldn't be able to

It's pretty tiny in the grand scheme of things. Wikipedia says it's 30ft long, 14ft wide and 9 ft tall ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-37#Specifications_(X-... ). The space shuttle was 122ft long, so a

Given the amount of people on HN happily using LLMs for their everyday work and extolling the virtues of LLMs, "everyone" might be a bit excessive

I was going to mention holyC here, but I don't think it is the same thing. holyC lets you embed images etc in the code, but those images don't become part of the logic. This paper is talking about mixing graphical programming lang
