Yes, I also found the description a little weird because of the emphasis on linear-time parsing. It is cool theoretically, and it could be understandable from a perspective of "mak…

Looking at the actual article ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-54178-1 ), their procedure does actually use deep learning in the process of synthesizing candidate chip …

Absolutely! (also see the article) https://www.colorado.edu/artssciences-advising/resource-libr...

What a strange recommendation. I do research in CS theory and machine learning and I try to find arXiv preprints when I can, they are usually more complete than conference versions…

If Google Scholar is sunset that would be a great loss for the academic community. When was that feature removed? I have felt reasonably confident in Google Scholar so far because …

In case you do not know, I find Google Scholar to be pretty useful for finding dates and other information about the paper - e.g. in this case https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl…

SemanticDB ( https://scalameta.org/docs/semanticdb/guide.html ) is a protobuf-based file format that does almost exactly this for JVM languages, primarily Scala (I was a contributo…

I feel like "generate" is kind of a strong word in this case though. At this rate if the machines rise up, they will do so just to parrot all the "machines rise up" plot synopses i…

I love this! But after trying it a few times I got this result :). So fascinating. https://thismoviedoesnotexist.org/movie/the-terminator Brings up the age-old question of how much…

Good point! I think this heuristic works well if the edges between tiles in completed picture are uniquely identifiable or close to that. However from the images there seem to be o…

~20bn sounds about right. 9! * 4^9 / 4 ~ 23.8bn. Divide by 4 due to rotational symmetry. Absolutely mind-boggling to me that such a small, simple puzzle has such an extreme search …

I haven't been a parent so I can't be positive, but I doubt time off for maternity or paternity acts as a "positive" incentive for having children, meaning people who didn't want c…

Another way to think about it is counting the probability of getting k boys out of 2 children. 0 boys - 1/4 1 boy - 1/2 2 boys - 1/4 There's a half chance of getting exactly one bo…

I'll give some brief context first for why it could be useful, then explain what DeepWritable does. AWS Amplify JS has a library called DataStore that takes GraphQL schema and gene…

As someone who has spent a lot of time diving deep into Scala (I worked on compiler related semantic tooling for scalameta, worked on a experimental parallelizable Scala compiler, …

I might be misinterpreting, but are you saying the two are mutually exclusive? Google Docs does need custom layout and rendering which may be tough/finicky to implement with the ex…

The synchronicity of this showing up on the HN front page at the same time as Google moving Docs to canvas-based rendering ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27129858 ) is kind…

Yeah, I have heard of it, and thanks for mentioning it to those who may not have. Like others have said, these have very few of the same guarantees people might be looking for in i…

Gotcha. I didn't consider just putting a small amount of direct deposit into HMB, that's pretty clean! Might try it myself :) I doubt they expect most users to do something like th…

This may be unfounded, but I am pretty skeptical of any bank or service that offers such high APY for a savings account. The effective federal funds rate is now about 0.6%, and Wea…

This is pretty unfortunate. I loved using Simple for three or so years; it was my first independent bank account. It was a great app and beautiful design with innovative banking fe…

I think those are just identifiers for the telescopes. If you click on the telescope to expand you can see what it’s communicating with and some info about the link, and the bitrat…

This is a really clean explanation, thank you! Is the O(1/d^2) decrease in bitrate due to the inverse square law for radiation intensity?

I think this situation is a good illustration of latency vs bandwidth. Latency is unavoidable due to the speed of light, but there’s no physical barrier to bitrate aside from power…

Interesting. I am not a rocket scientist, but I think there’s a few fundamental problems with doing this: 1. You can’t keep the satellites in a “line” between Earth and Mars, as ob…
