You can create a demo page for everyone to be able to experience the product without signing-up. You can diable chat messaging in this demo and make it read-only if needed. Having said that, I genuine…

Exactly. The usual pattern is to calculate shipping "during" the checkout phase, not before. i/f a customer demands to know it earlier, the site can always ask for shipping details sepa…

I love coding but absolutely hate all the corporate shenanigans. Endless meetings and no-use, multiple and multi-stake status updates suck the creative part and the joy of coding/building out of …

"What? WTF?" "I see you are slow. Let us simplify this transaction: A machine wrote your submission. A machine is currently rejecting your submission. You are the entirely unnecessary m…

Submitted "boomcession" to urban dictionary (in review)... sorry, couldn't credit you as there was no place to do so.

24x speedup (over 10x already) and similar loss profile (for c++ version, optimized by claude): https://gist.github.com/freakynit/3982eab8413a89941bd0018e63... ...…

Thank you for such a good and detailed explanation. Loved reading through it. And I like the new word: "boomcession" (not the effects of it tho).

Hmm, that's right... thanks..

Is there a term for such a recurring cycle in which speculative bubbles form, institutions and governments collaborate/collude to sustain them, and when the system finally reaches a breaking poin…

Lol, right? I mean, who even has doubts left anymore on this? The guy can lie with a perfectly straight face. He's the kind of person who tells another lie just to cover the last one, and then an…

Why not just downloadable binary then?

Is there something similar for diffusion models? By the way, this is incredibly useful for learning in depth the core of LLM's.

Time do be running real fast these days

DoD/DoW can't strong-arm these companies into unreasonable demands if they present a united front... and that's exactly why collective action (or even unionization) matters. If the gove…

Agree 100%.

Nice to find another fan of this criminally underrated show. The difference was always the "father".. The Machine was raised with a conscience. Samaritan wasn't.

People do realize there's a non-zero chance that Anthropic could have embedded some kind of hidden "backdoor" trigger in its training process, right? For example, a specific seed phrase…

I appreciate that the HN community values thoughtful, civil discussion, and that's important. But when fundamental civil liberties are at stake, especially in the face of powerful institutions an…

Welp, I never thought "Person of Interest" show coming to life anytime soon, but, here we are. In case you haven't watched the show, it's time to give it a go. Bare with season 2 t…

I have been using google lens heavily to scan posters/flyers/information displays in other languages and get it translated to english in like 2-3 seconds. So freakin helpful.

These days, I just try to clone the core functionality of such sites as fast as I can. So, tried the same with this. For this, I screenshotted the demo panel and asked chatgpt to generate relevant pro…

And we thought skynet was just a part of some fictional movie. On a separate note, DoD is pressuring Anthropic to remove it's safety guards. OpenAI and Google seemingly have already agreed to it.…

How do you turn it into an organized action?

Added this company to my reconnaissance and vulnerability research scope for future assessment.

You know why connections have exhausted? Because I issued this: "ALTER DATABASE postgres CONNECTION LIMIT 0;" Nice UI, but same security vulnerabilities as I've seen typically found in …

By giving their scrapers false signals using dummy ecomemrce stores with artificial/dummy prices. If done constantly, it might render their scrapers useless or less reliable for buy-box algorithm…

Nicely built. Can you try running any sql query? Like "select count(*) from todos"? Seems connection limit has reached. Also, tables are not getting listed as well. Just the cached ones are …

Can I use emdash to build another emdash?
