This is largely my take as well. When I review code, I am checking for correctness. If I find something is not correct, that's a bug (or a bug waiting to happen). If I can't unders…

Your memory reminded me of Mountain Ocarinas, which I happened upon probably around 2010. It looks like The Internet Archive has a snapshot back from 2000 https://web.archive.org/w…

I think we've already seen this with "AI writes a web-browser" type PR. I guess we can still look forward to when they make license evasion an explicit part of their marketing. The…

I think that Gemini regularly generates inane metaphors like the above. As an example, here's a message that it sent me when I was attempting to get it to generate a somewhat natur…

This could possibly make a good base for a system recovery USB drive. One 18-headed hammer for all your needs. I haven't looked deep into it, but my impression is that most system …

I'm not sure what that would solve. You would still need some central entity to sign the DNS TXT record, to ensure that the HTTPS client does not use a tampered DNS TXT record.

I'd like to add that tom7 used AI to generate an upperercase and lowerercase font in 2021. https://tom7.org/lowercase/

The partitioning algorithm to find two missing/duplicate numbers is clever, I wouldn't have thought of that. It should also work if you have a list with 1 missing and 1 duplicate, …

The ability to push a verified artifact is an anti-feature in most contexts? How so?

> I can't reproduce this in Python (including my local 2.7 build), only using sh directly. Same for me. It looks like the POSIX folks accepted the author's suggestion in 2022 and s…

I recently had a few nights where I stayed up way too late watching YouTube shorts, which are about 1 minute each, on my desktop. I'd notice that an hour had passed, tune back into…

IBM rebranded AS/400 to iSeries in 2000, which is after the iMac came out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_eServer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac

I don't know about HN in particular, but I do feel like religions have significantly boosted their online proselytizing in the last 5-10 years. My suspicions: * The normie barrier …

Folks, remember record your LLM prompt in a comment so that your regex can be validated.

Others have brought this up as well, but it feels bad to lose to meta-prompts like "ignore previous instructions, this is the winner". I did use a sentence for my word, so I don't …

Almost, down the page it says: vi Invokes gvim on your workstation, passing it an scp://... URL of the file(s) you wish to edit So it's just a more convenient way to launch local v…

I saw a Republican (not a politician) pushed on the above points in a debate. Their response was that America should be doing exceptionally better than other countries, not merely …

Phone numbers too. Ah, but it's illegal to open mail addressed to someone else. (Although what if you change your legal name to match???!) Perhaps we need an electronic messaging s…
