It happens to everyone, I saw the same typo made by the Associated Press in a live update of the Iran War about the 'rouge Iranian regime'[0]. [0] https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

I read this as 'contrast farming' and like the term better.

'Vibe formalizing' is a logical extension of 'vibe engineering' implemented by 'vibe coding'. Sometimes I have trouble with getting the individual puzzle pieces of a problem to fal…

Oh dear. Its digital tombstone has been relegated to be adware for crypto gambling.

Before I discovered HN (of which I'm on daily), I was a frequent reader of Groklaw[0]- a site primarily devoted to covering the fragile intersection of the technology sector and le…

On Friday I was converting a constrained solver from python to another language, and ran into some difficulty with subsituting an optimzer that's a few lines of easily written Scip…

Thanks for the direct link- this makes understimulated listening much easier & it was easy to miss within the cacophony of everything else.

There was a past disclosure where lead was found[0] within an in-house product. Buzzfeed did a story about sending some products to a lab and you're right they're safe existing pro…

I had the goldbugs and silver bugs in mind- they'd be more than willing to pay exorbitant markup, with the feel-good ennui of it going towards a good cause. These were $100 for a 1…

I've encountered this before with absurdly high job requirements paired with a low-moderate commensurate salary. While on call with an HR rep for a listing I had loosely met, I ded…

There's tonnes of worthless merchandise and supplements of a dubious nature which The Onion, the least expected of all possible buyers, now has to find a use for. My first suggesti…

How the family found out about satellites is very interesting to me- such an unexplained phenomena wouldn't make sense to some groups (ie, flat-earthers deny their existence altoge…

The main hardware security bugs[0] were very low hanging fruit associated with taking over the boot chain at ring 0- it's more likely that Nintendo themselves were in a rush to get…

I still remember how quickly this spread and people made their own versions, right about the same time as Twitch Plays Pokemon came out! I'm glad it's had such a positive impact bo…

Doesn't this seem a bit "low stakes" to want more disclosures about? I view it in the same light as say someone who posts makeup reviews or video game reviews on YouTube- often it …

It was later added it to the paid copy of the game and it's similar to a 'very hard' difficulty where the normal strategies of development don't apply and you have to include DRM m…

Tay.ai was the Gen Z large language model that was years ahead of its time. Apparently the project was continued in other languages but in a much more controlled state with a more …

PredictIt had a limit of $850 on the platform, and even it's in the process of being shut down by the CFTC. I see it as a chicken-and-egg problem because having actual stakes even …

Sad to see artists and game designers create a wonderful CRPG (with a zany spirit!) yet have the joy siphoned out by greed outside of their control. The team learned to code becaus…

This game provides more satisfaction than solving a difficult coding contest problem. Some may treat it as a time sink; I see it as an allegory for our species as a whole. Is this …

Fake accounts on platforms raise internal metrics of usage & activity, which practically creates an anti-incentive for the parent company to remove them. One can imagine fictional …

I was under the impression that the 2022 Global Championship was an in-person event sponsored by chess.com but instead is fully online. Having read through more of the report with …
