Ah, that's a fancy trick! I remember many a time making Linux real angry with my PCIe fiddling. I believe in the end we got Partial Reconfiguration set up, where the PCIe portion o…

One of the tactics I end up using in Verilog, for better or worse, is to define enums with a'0 value (repeat 0s for the size of the variable), and '1 value (repeat 1s for the size …

I don't know a word or phrase for this, but I really enjoy any examples of "thinking outside the box" like this because it's something I struggle with in my professional career. Le…

It's funny because in that last sentence I think you're describing something like in the article. "Holding the door open" might not be something that people do to strictly have the…

One thing my mom (an occupational therapist) brought up when seeing this was the potential applications for therapy. I'm not sure of the nuances, but one concept that comes to mind…

I believe I read a science fiction book around this topic. Postsingular by Rudy Rucker I believe, related to nanotechnology. Can't remember most of it, but delved a little into how…

Gotchagotcha, so yeah, to some extent eliminates the time taken to highlight individual brackets at the cost of adding some visual complexity. Thanks.

In just basic Vim, there's highlighting such that if the cursor is over a start bracket (or end bracket), the opposite bracket is highlighted. I do find that very helpful indeed to…

Is there an adaptation of Bayesian statistics that also takes into account timeliness of the data ? e.g. a more recent string of negative reviews would potentially indicate somethi…

That white, black, and red image is amazing! I remember a post here about optimizing 1 bit black and white images some time ago, which also was amazing, but it's crazy the colors t…

One thought that came to mind when the author mentioned that GPT-4 seemed to want to use A* was that maybe the problem statement was not formed in a way that would get the best res…

I feel like humans in general work fairly well when story or myth is tied to an explanation, but can understand that's not for everyone. I'm reminded of oral histories that humans …

https://galactica.org/?prompt=High+Impedance "High Impedance is the debut album by Canadian musician Colin James, released in 1988." Not...exactly...what I was expecting.

Thanks, I'm sure Signal devs to some extent look at HN, but was looking for a way to concretely let them know about the potential damage I see this causing.

Makes me think of potentially using sound as a way for humans to conceptualize higher dimensional spaces. I feel very bound to 3 dimensional visualizations frequently and often wis…

Ah makes sense it'd be something that would be useful to track and then provides information that people can arbitrage. I had tried some initial URL hacking that didn't work, but t…

Definitely some interesting info. Has this been produced for previous years? I'm intrigued how the sentiment in the weather highlights might have changed over time.

This is a fascinating use case that wouldn't have occurred to me at all, quite cool, even if it "doesn't know anything about anything at all". It even does pretty good with Verilog…

I don't know that your topic is their specific aim, but I remember Popcorn Linux coming up on HN before: http://www.popcornlinux.org/ To some extent their goal is to enable better …

I think there's been a fair amount of discussion about the interplay between quantum and classical computing. It feels like it may be better to think of things as a collaborative e…

Apologies for the naivety of this question, but it's it possible to "wean" yourself off of Google (or any one income source)? that is, maybe "pretend" that by default you're only r…

I feel like this isn't exactly what you're asking for, but the storytelling in: https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football feels like it opened up new my thoughts on how something c…

Being a person who works with FPGAs. For all their difficulties, waveforms of both simulation and real-time tapping capabilities are indispensable for tracking what happens before,…

I think to some extent it's a frame of mind thing. For instance, my friend's vacuum broke for some reason or another, some plastic piece that wasn't super complicated, but was requ…

Making an assumption here about Proxima Centauri's own Oort Cloud, but seems like if it's the same size as ours, they'd overlap? Seems like a potentially interesting way for "stuff…
