I'm not commenting to be contentious or antagonistic. Problems with reproducibility have been rampant in numerous fields for the past 15 years, for a variety of reasons. That's par…

Decent post and good points: I've observed similarly about myself over time... even an interval of as little as six months. I write something and leave it in draft, or deliberately…

I would think this would be sufficient which the USDA already does. >... the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, which conducts research on crop yields, invasive species, plant g…

I know, right? Look at this, what Liv Ullman said. https://deadline.com/2026/01/norwegian-star-liv-ullmann-comm... I don’t understand what Liz Ullmann means here. The Nobel people …

Isn't her last name Machado not Rodriguez? Who is Rodriguez?

This is wonderful: APL is there! And a visual APL keyboard too.

In https://satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu/ Has The Issue Been Fixed section: >we re-scanned with their permission and were able to verify a remedy had been deployed: T-Mobile, WalMart, and…

Exactly! It says this as one of the 3 reasons for DOIs not found on the error page: >The DOI has not been activated yet.

The landing page has a Q&A. This is the relevant part of the response to the question, "Why aren't all GEO satellite links encrypted?" >Encryption imposes additional overhead to an…

My most disliked nothing language term is 'reimagining' something. EDIT: If it isn't too late, you might want to correct the title of your HN submission to "Please just tell me wha…

Yes, it has created 15 of them. Meanwhile, today's breaking market news is that C3 AI quarterly earnings are out, and the stock price is down 30% https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/11/c3…

At first I thought, same-old same-old, but I changed my mind halfway through. I like how the author, Elke, identifies the underlying similarities between e/acc and the AGI doomers.…

The example, "Misapplication of LLMs can negatively impact productivity" was a real shocker to me. I guess I'm still too naive, but I never imagined anyone would try to do that. No…

Even for non-believers in such things as alien bases, this is a good post. I say that because of the extent to which many public, i.e. free, Google services seem to have degraded. …

I saw Treasury Secretary Scott Bissent (spelling?) being interviewed on CNN about Elon a few days ago. (Elon shoved Bissent in the hallway at the White House cause he was mad about…

Very heavy-handed paywall. Only let me read one sentence. Linky please? EDIT: I worry about gen AI but I also worry that Fortune Magazine and exploitative click baiters will try to…

More seriously now, the Zurich researchers were very creepy. I'm reading the article further and saw that they stalked some of the past history of redditors first before trying to …

I wonder if other groups are using AI to post on HN too? (Seems less likely than on reddit... TBQH)

USPS is United States Postal Service. They didn't deliver the package once it was received in Australia. Or does Australia's postal service have the initials USPS too? Not being a …

Probably would be entirely acceptable if one applied for and received a permit for them. >can be imported legally by contacting the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Offi…

Not sure who is responsible for confirming whether he had a permit: oversees seller or shipping company, or customs/import upon receipt in Australia. Guardian article says, "he ord…

The article only said that his solicitor (lawyer?) described the quantities as being so small they were safe enough to eat. I read some more about it (Guardian) https://www.theguar…

Thank you. I only read the second, more recent article, not realizing that their was a prior one. Case seems ridiculous. Judge's ruling, despite no penalty, is embarrassing because…
