Speaking for myself (and I bought Hillel's recently published Logic for Programmers): It's not clear to me which formal method I should use. I'm certain the answer is "there's…

The issue seems to be with the expectation that personal enrichment and subjective aesthetic appreciation should be socially instead privately funded

I don't consider myself an open weights supporter, but it's a bit of a bummer that if there's any novel search technique discovered by the model throughout this finding, it's possi…

It's not number of houses, it's number of houses where people want to live. "house prices would not be increasing in areas of population decline" -> the causation could be runni…

I use it to write instructions, obviously. I thought everyone was using C-g on Claude Code

If the EU as a system has an undemocratic backdoor it's descriptively correct to call it undemocratic. Not to play too hard on the HN user stereotype, but you wouldn't call a computer system…

What’s the meaning of skeuomorphic design for a generation that has never worked with the original physical artifacts they’re based on, though?

Where do I sign to show my opposition to this change? Hide My Email has been essential to keep my digital life protected from abusive mail lists and frankly one of the features that make me associate …

Yes it is bad, but if you believe some version of the most extreme forecasts of this tech then a government paying attention and doing some stupid things may be better than one that doesn't pay a…

This ban in particular is probably the wrong decision, but now we're in the timeline where the USG is actively involved in AI model deployment which I think is a positive development within Amode…

> The short version is that I don’t let AI agents work unsupervised on my code. I treat them like participants in a mob programming session instead of autonomous developers. I wonder if OS maintain…

It may not be useful to anyone outside, but it's possible that one of the goals is institutional learning (that is, embedding the knowledge in how to build LLMs in an organization). Even though i…

Maybe specialists have a higher bar than consumers, and as a design consumer he's right about the design, and the designer is right about the code, if "being right" means "understa…

Regardless of one’s opinion about AI, from a product perspective this seems somewhat similar to the dev using his 48gb ram machine and latest iphone to test an app that will be used by consumers with …

People like to blame social media for this kind of bullshit, but social media is just the vector. Just this week I read a "study" because someone claimed on social media that it was made by …

I don't think the following is a great idea for many reasons, but it's an idea that has been on my mind for a while and I'd like to share it to hear some thoughts: Germany has (used to …

Hm, that’s a multinomial classification with a very high cardinality. It’s really weird it works. I’m sure it does as the author states, but for how many authors (out of the whole web) does this wor…

> In France cars are torched if the pension age is raised. Democracy is… an organized group toppling decisions made by popularly elected representatives within the confines of the law?

I don’t think Americans would enjoy the alternative of defaulting on that debt, or the counterfactual of not having raised that debt in the first place But yeah, having to pay your debts do suck

I think this might depend on where you intend to sell them. I think in life plus 50 countries (Egypt, China, many others) it should be out of copyright already. IANAL, so consult one before doing anyt…

I haven't done it myself, using game engines as UI frameworks is not unheard of :)

He wasn't fudging anything, his phrasing was > ~18% of their working age people *do not have jobs* Which is a correct interpretation of participation rate. His theory on the causes may be off,…

Glad you mentioned this possibility Countries have centuries of experience providing attestation services through notaries. Germany is even infamous for requiring them for things that would sound ridi…

This is brilliant! Thank you for creating it

According to the article itself, ARR’s definition is clear and strict: annual and recurring. This means that “margin” doesn’t factor in, so I don’t think calling these AI companies’ revenue GMV is all…

Funny name given that Sauron infamously didn’t prevent a break-in Btw: isn’t lotr out of copyright in death of author + 50yrs countries? Where’s the legal Chinese movie trilogy?

> It’s art that bursts the seams, demanding that the world bend to it and not the other way around, refusing to comply with the arbitrary bounds of property law—those meaningless slips of paper mea…
