When you're first starting out as a junior software developer, normally you do focus on just the job in front of you, i.e., the code, and the seniors have to deal with everything e…

The other site gives a much more modest estimate of 6.3%, and there's no explanation given for the discrepancy.

> That map makes it stupidly easy to tell a human from a machine. Someone who commits 50,000 lines in an afternoon did not type those by hand. Someone doing a couple hundred? Proba…

I do credit all contributors to my open-source projects, and I think this is the norm, but to be clear (and I did say this in my original comment), I'm only talking about cases whe…

I don't understand this rebuttal at all. There is a huge difference between having an idea and implementing it yourself, and handing your idea (plus suggestions and data structures…

Taking credit for something you didn't do, whether it was done by another person or by an LLM, is dishonest and unethical. Prompting an LLM to create something is obviously not the…

To make both addition and multiplication O(n), you can store numbers as their residues modulo a bunch of different primes and appeal to the Chinese Remainder Theorem. However, then…

I don't see it as a brag. I think they're saying that the specialness of the notebook starts becoming an obligation and a burden, and then the notebook loses its original purpose, …

I think you're completely missing the point. The "messy" notebook isn't supposed to have any aesthetic value or qualities, it's just a tool for the user to record stuff in the mome…

There's nothing wrong with having a tidy notebook, but many of us also need messy notebooks.

Or simply: "While I may use AI for work, my website and all the content on it is entirely written by hand." I don't think the original syntax is incorrect exactly, but too many com…

If you hire someone to create something for you (video, images, audio, text, etc.), and you then claim you made it yourself without crediting them, I think almost everyone would ag…

But the thing is, in this analogy, we are the chef, surgeon, or builder. We're the ones other people look for when they can't do the thing by themselves (in this case, writing soft…

The problem with this analogy is an LLM isn't very much like a "tool" at all. - In cases of practical relevance, you pay a recurring fee to keep using it - not very tool-like. - Ra…

The C++20 version is still clearly inferior to the Python and Lua examples because you still have to manually increment the counter in the loop body. IMO the sibling comment by Har…

As far as I know, EFF has always championed privacy.

In general old good stuff is easier to find than new good stuff, since over time the bad stuff becomes more irrelevant, but I feel there's also some truth to the over-optimization …

I think Cider9986's comment [1] on the OP covers it pretty well. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48700061

A small camera can easily be covered up. You can't cover something that's embedded into the screen itself.

I don't know how a "complete" guide can completely fail to mention NVIDIA. It doesn't seem straightforward to support older NVIDIA cards (on any OS, to be fair, not just on Linux).…

The question is slightly vague (since I could be going there not to wash my car), but I'm pretty sure in the intended interpretation, the actual distance is irrelevant. :)
