I regularly get "adult missing" alerts in Los Angeles, often with no more content than that. Absolutely useless. I can't think of any reason they send those out other than abject b…

Yeah, I'm familiar with that, and I try to break them into small pieces, but sometimes I just pop one. I always get the smallest dose I can find. I don't really use it except for j…

You can instruct it to be terse and even take on a specific voice if the standard prose bothers you.

Anecdote - I've used it dozens of times and I'm always foggy in the AM, so I avoid it if I have to be sharp the next morning. Perhaps it's a coincidence and this study is flawed, b…

For those downvoting me: https://samueli.ucla.edu/bursting-your-bubble-chewing-gum-re... This includes natural gum bases.

This is a content-free comment. First, it's a statement of fact, not a logical deduction. Please explain where I'm wrong and educate all of us. HN is pretty good normally, but it h…

Aren't all gum based basically plastic? Including natural ones? So chewing any gum is just going to fill your body with microplastics right? I wonder if the risk offset is worth it…

I don't think the differential with software is as big as it seems. If Google completely shuts down side loading or otherwise kills AOSP as an open project, you'll get a flood of m…

This is cool, I'll have to try this. Want I've been doing for transit is using termux on android with magisk for root access, allowing me to install Nix home manager and harnesses …

I'm not suggesting the visual system would driving the coding at all. I'm saying that it would be a visualization of your current code base as built by the LLM.

I think some sort of visual paradigm is where we will end up. Something like Star Trek, where the system architecture and modules are visually represented in 3D space, and you see …

Similar to a spark, which isn't blazing fast but usable.

MoE models can use system memory along with a GPU.

I've one-shotted custom distributions built with Nix using AI. It's crazy how well AI and Nix fit together.

I stated reported facts, please try a real response rather than snark. It is literally antisemitic to suggest Zionism and Judaism are the same thing.

Yes, a concerted campaign on TikTok and Instagram (hint hint) targeted these people with lies about the consequences of a supreme court ruling on immigration. This happened soon af…

This is a common form of buddhist meditation in Tibetan (Dzogchen / Mahamudra) and Japanese (Soto Zen shikantaza) styles. Instructions are nearly identical. Interestingly, it's con…

The ability to run queries and get the metadata about the run, e.g. length of run, execution plan, engine, engine params, etc

I see a lot of conflicting info about whether Qwen3.6-35B-A3B or Qwen3.6-27B is more capable. Is it one of those things where "it depends"?

What is your point? The original comment was really just a wry statement about the extreme level of corruption and ineffectiveness of the US government. Sounds like you find the cu…

Well I am still happy when the shovel manufacturer's interests are in line with the interests of the people instead of the oligarchs.

I'm fine with not looking out of the window if the seat is comfortable and I can get to the bathroom more easily. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Window enjoyers such as yoursel…

"community led" != "ideology". That's a statement of governance style, which is a different level.

You are arguing with a strawman. No one said anyone is entitled to host there. They are saying it's just a bad policy because it makes it an unreliable place to host projects when …
