Huh, I always wondered what that was for...

Ooh, thanks! I blindly type c-x 8 RET, then finding myself stumbling through 9 different entries for Phi, but I hadn't explored the prefixes. I just realized I could create a custo…

I for one am striving for clarity and couldn't care less about being confused with AI. However I've only ever used regular dashes. How do you type an em-dash? Is it OS specific? I'…

This was a lot of fun to explore. I find that naturally I want to click through the animations and observe them for a while before delving into the steps and reading the blurb. It'…

Love this reaction. Even if these are contrived examples this is one of those things that could become completely ubiquitous as a cheap solution to problems that only seem obvious …

I wonder if it was de-indexed from HN for this reason. 30 minutes ago it was on the front-page, now I can't find it listed in the top 200.

Oh, that helps me. I thought it had something to do with rotating the palm. Why did they go into all the detail of the ulna & radius crossing? The counter example they gave was the…

This would make for a good topic on a short-form pop-science YouTube channel. (take your pick) The article is interesting but it's difficult for me to really picture the implicatio…

I feel this inner conflict of yours could be resolved by posting to Reddit and asking for anecdotes.

Those are really cool to look at. I kept trying to click them to learn more, I wish some of them were mini blog posts to give a little bit of grounding.

Yours. I can't explain your frustration then, or why the author's intent escaped you. If you use Firefox there's a little reader-mode icon in the address bar you may find convenien…

It sent me back in time, very nostalgic. I even took a few minutes to sit and enjoy the moment and remember what it was like to explore the internet on a pixelated CRT in the 90s. …

What a fascinating project. It looks a real labor of love, and I wish I understood it more deeply. I've been making my own visualization sandboxes like this to explore configuratio…

I can't go into detail, but that's essentially my use case. I have a geodesic dome with a cable running up externally, and would like to run it through a hollow shaft coming in thr…

What?! Thank you! I'm working on a robot with a very expensive slip ring, and need to send high fidelity data through it with shielding. I had no idea this was possible this will m…

That sounds frustrating! It hasn't been my experience at all. I'm an enthusiast when it comes to [Vanilla] Emacs. I enjoy customizing my editor, jumping into the Lisp when I find a…

I've been using Magit for years, and have never noticed any bugs. The interface is unique and takes a lot of getting used to. I did need to leverage my extensive experience with Gi…

Loved the article, and also the shoutout to Strang's lectures. I agree with the order, the Gaussian should come later I almost closed the article - glad I kept scrolling out of cur…

I see a scroll bar in Firefox and in Chrome...

I love this idea. I remember giving a live demonstration of a configuration management tool (SaltStack circa 2012) and some unknown networking conflict between my Virtual Machines …

I've been curious about knitting & crochet from a programming / robotics / simulation perspective for a while, but deferred it to cut my teeth on simpler problems. Those industrial…

I first saw this effect in a video from Branta Games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg3RAI8uyVw The effect is disrupted by introducing rendering artifacts, by watching the video …

My bank's mobile app no longer supports my 2017 Android phone. I thought it would be a big deal but honestly I forgot about it until you mentioned this, it's been 6-12 months.

Is the new model significantly more efficient or something? Maybe using distillation? I haven't looked into it, I just heard the price is low. Personally I use/prefer 4o over 4.5 s…

It's a lot to ask of two experts to also be excellent communicators for an audience that may struggle to follow along. I wonder if a potential application of LLMS could be: have tw…
