    I agree that it would help the site a lot but Pangram is notoriously inaccurate.

    Quaaludes are maybe a better analogy since the original, strong ones are mostly gone and the pills being manufactured today are significantly weaker. And their effect on Wall Stree…

    It can suck but it doesn't always. It depends a lot on the calling language.

    I think the target application is writing the same algorithm in multiple places with a guarantee that the logic will be based on a single source of truth. Not unlike Protocol Buffe…

    Is there a good reason not to use WebGL to render the scene and compute the character mapping? Even if you're dead set on outputting text to a ` ` you could write the ascii values …

    Why? What does Anthropic have that any other software company that's capable of putting MCP integration in a chat app doesn't?

    To be fair, a lot of that revenue is from subscriptions that aren't necessarily fully utilized. OpenAI said in March [0] that they have 50 million subscribers. Assuming they're all…

    Let the record reflect that I had this exact idea 2 years ago but never finished it, and remembered it this morning.

    If you're the creator of the platform, you should post this under "Show HN" to make it clear that it's your own business.

    This problem only exists because of the marketing move to call anything even slightly ML related "AI". I see it as a double edged sword. People that want the category of AI to succ…

    There's no branch in that code either way. The comparison operator outputs a value (which is arithmetic, not a branch), and that value is added unconditionally.

    At least on x86, multiple additions and multiplications can be done with a single `lea` instruction so it's preferable to XOR. Though I have no idea about other architectures, comp…
