It did one more weird thing where it seemed to lose the ability to count in order: ===== You're right that hard per-action gating causes loops. So rather than block the model, make…

Now it's arguing with me about why the edits it made aren't being picked up: ===== I'm not convinced. I didn't run it until you told me it was all fixed up. I tried running it with…

I was happily plodding away with it earlier when it threw this out in the middle of a response in Claude code: --- So — what did you actually see before you hit Ctrl-C? That's the信…

the second sequence in the first example starts: 1047085,1047276,1047471 in the second example it starts: 1047085,1047276,1017471 The 3rd element is different.

Also, the one for gb shows Northern Ireland. Great Britain doesn't include any of the Irish island. That would be the United Kingdom. There's a quick overview showing the differenc…

Maybe you're thinking of D3o ( http://www.d3o.com/ ), which has been around since 2005 or so.

The article states in the very first paragraph : "Let me tell you a little about the truck driver you just flipped off because he was passing another truck, and you had to cancel t…

Google Chrome has a built in (ok, a plug-in, but I think it's there by default) pdf viewer. Works pretty well for me.

In most EU countries people can be placed in a psychiatric facility against their will if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Paranoid schizophrenics are probab…

Not necessarily. I just finished optimizing an AES implementation where some of the functions are called hundreds of thousands of times when decrypting a 300k payload. In cases lik…

I don't think he means the site itself, rather the sites linked from there under the awards section.

Correction, password reset does appear to be working, it's just taking about half an hour for the emails to arrive. Maybe a mail queue setting?

Password reset still isn't working. It says an email has been sent, but emails aren't arriving. Also, from another comment, HN usernames are case sensitive, so making them all lowe…

I like the idea of the site, but it should be opt out by default for anything you scraped from the spreadsheet. Once someone claims their password, they can decide what info to dis…

They don't give away the IDE, but the SDK and command line compiler is available here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sd... There are also a few open sou…

The problem wasn't with performance in general, it was with hardware decoding of H.264 video. I don't believe anything has changed on that front. The core animation change is suppo…

In response to one rather trollish comment on HN, Spikefu says: === [Adobe can't fix what they can't reproduce. I'm sure they work very hard to eliminate any and all instability fr…

Yes, I did consider that his health might also be an explanation. Probably should have mentioned that. Regardless, the impression I get from watching the demo is still the same.

One of the most interesting things for me was Steve Jobs' facial expressions as he was sitting on the chair demonstrating the iPad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eVCFXxgn2M&featu…

I worked on a Flash EMAR app that was deployed on touchscreen tablet PCs. You don't need to worry about how to do mouse over unless your app needs mouse over support. As long as yo…

WTF? I'm seriously confused here. Is this the same guy who thumbed his nose at Microsoft and instigated the creation Mono? If so, isn't he at least a little conflicted about the cl…
