Out of curiosity, I've ran some experiments on Facebook for stuff like this. Results: - Reporting a message does nothing no matter how much the content breaks their terms of use. 1…

Yeah, I'm kind of AI-negative, but I found this very well presented and thought out. I'm not convinced that the fix for AI-heavy workflows is a good harness or an established codeb…

I found out about Obsidian a couple years ago and it finally solved all the problems I've had with notetaking over the years. Something about how you use it to create notes and con…

This is pretty neat. I once had the idea of using Minecraft to represent filesystems. If you think of movies with "cyberspace" where they navigate files in a 3D space. So you would…

As an Unreal Engine user, the discussion around Verse is curious. It feels like a lot of UE devs don't like the syntax at all, and would have much preferred a more traditional lang…

This is a very interesting idea, partially because I recently wrote about how Svelte is kind of "invisible" as a tool for writing webapps (compared to f.ex. React). Much like ginge…

Darn, current 3DR took down the legacy site? Their CEO went on a big spiel a while back about how he's such a big fan of the "original" 3DR, and grew up on their games and whatnot,…

Not sure of your level, but as a beginner, these two were recommended to me on HN previously: - https://www.cambridge.org/highereducation/books/conceptual-m... - https://bartoszmil…

I read the title and literally thought "Huh how did they fit that inside the shuttle?"

Good point, hadn't thought at all of this kind of perspective. Though the fact it's some dodgy residential proxy provider that runs this stuff makes me feel like it isn't going to …

Not an arcade game but Nintendo World Cup on the NES is excellent fun even today. Its japan-only sequel takes it even further with crazy nonsense, like being able to jump on top of…

Interesting, I would have expected macOS to have this feature because Windows has supported window-specific keyboard layouts for what feels like forever. I don't use my Mac much no…

I've read a bunch of what could be considered "self help" and while they often have a lot of fluff, they do have interesting points. Many of them reference actual research studies …

I think this purely as an idea is pretty fun, and there is value in that. But beyond the initial impressions it's exactly as you say. It's not different at all from others in how i…

I was an avid GReader user and then lost all of the feeds when they closed down. I've been setting up miniflux lately, but the biggest problem is that over the years I've completel…

Articles like this always make me wonder "there could be something interesting about this", but they always assume I know more math (or something) than I do. Does anyone write abou…

In some ways I like the concept. Making interesting papers easier to find and easier to digest seems like a good thing. But the popularity metrics and AI aspects seem like they wil…

In theory maybe in some sense, but if we read Naur's definition of "theory" in a more strict or philosophical way, they can't in full. An LLM can't build a theory, because it doesn…
