TFA is a decent first cut. It may be inefficient (the author already mentioned and discarded a N^2 approach), but it’s easily understandable. The author also mentioned that he was planning a NumPy version, so maybe some of the topics you ad

Must be a fuss in Redmond “They can’t do that! Let’s sue.” Well, they beat Lindows, let’s see if they can beat Google.

It may not be worth the time to automate those, but I always take the time to document them, usually in Obsidian, where I can easily find them later.

Tech itself has become more negative lately, for a number of reasons. HN remains a marvelous place - I was just last night enjoying the variety of posts and discussion. I’ve not found anything like it elsewhere.

I took a one week industrial course at MIT back in ‘79, I think it was. Sussman, Knight, Batalli, the whole amazing crew. We started from scratch with gates and progressed to finished layout designs by the end of the week. Most everything h

From Dec to Feb mine is shaded by trees (sun doesn't get to high altitude here in Winter at 42N). The battery got pretty far down, but the unit went into low power mode and kept working fine, as far as I can tell. It's back up t

Yeah. The claim doesn’t ring true for NASA in those days.

And once you swap the labels on the lower left, it appears that the sign of the sin is reversed.

Definitely can’t do it with Grok. I’ve been disappointed with how weak it is.

Tell them it's comparable to $1 bills laid end to end from here to the sun. And tell them it's only 1/35 of the US national debt, which is roughly $350,000 per US taxpayer.

What I'm not liking is (on iPhone, anyway) having half the vids not having a way to save on a playlist or watchlist. They are more like blog posts, and I have to break my selection flow to look at them. YouTube is now autoplaying stuf

They are trying to figure out what they actually built. I suspect the time is coming when there will always be an aligned search AI between you and the internet.

Typically, you biopsy the tumor to determine appropriate treatment.

Might you possibly have a link?

Gruesomely useful in a war situation, unfortunately. I wonder at what point the LLMs would "realize" that "surgery" doesn't apply to that.

The cost of training a human from birth is pretty high, especially if you consider their own efforts over the years. And they don't know a fraction of what the LLMs know. (But they have other capabilities!)

Hm. I've always commented on my (temporarily) non-retrievable memories as, "The data is still in there, it's the retrieval mechanism that degrades if not used." And, sure enough, in most cases the memory returns in a

You really need to read the article. It appears Court is ready for a more definitive case on civil forfeiture.

My wife has a fastmail account, but she uses her iMail client, so she can send inline photos with her email. Even FM can’t do that yet.

Who can keep up with that? OpenBSD is a placid pond by comparison.

There is a wide range. In the US, the ARRL (arrl.org) handles the majority. There are awards for “worked all states”, “worked all continents”, and so on. There are various contests every weekend. There is “Parks On The Air”. It’s called rad

I wonder what the ARRL is going to do for advertising. Half their ads were from MFJ and Ameritron. And sad for all the people in the Starkville area who have had jobs there for so many decades.

Go to arrl.org and join up. Read both their magazines every month. Locate your local ham group and start going to their meetings. They will help you to quickly get a license. What happens next depends on your interests. The choices are vast

Not just on base. I had a conversation with a three star general. He remarked that while our warships had separate software and hardware for systems and fire control, the rest of of the ship’s IT ran on Windows. Supposedly, there was no con
