To play the devil's advocate: AI allows non-tech people to bootstrap a functional application. A global good design may be missing when the code is generated in small quantities an…

Excellent visuals! The 18th century warship video is a good watch too. It's a nice comparison to the ship described in this one.

Great project! For long running containerised simulations, this saves a lot of time on failures ( as long as you have a safe place to write the snapshots to ) by not restarting fro…

No, I did not make that assumption. His answer to the investigator's question should have been what the operating handbook says and not an opinion he held. Even he was offering an …

> His opinion was that the Cessna 185 simply didn’t stall. There's your problem. Don't opine on operating characteristics of a production aircraft. Read the handbook. This incident…

I was rephrasing the Turing test problem without saying it in so many words. It suggested asking color of objects you see / sounds you hear at a given instant since it is subjectiv…

People draw an arbitrary line of difference in the way we treat AI programs and human outputs. A human imagining orcs and one horned horses has 'fantastical, larger than life' imag…

The microwave example is very interesting. The prompt only asked to "warm up my lunch" without specifying how. SayCan[1] generated step-wise high level instructions using LLMs for …

Pasting all plain text on the discussion page here at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34470287 as of 22-01-2022 16:00Z renders Hilbert curve prominently while the rest is a Ho…

Did something similar with a previous incarnation of OpenAI's LLMs - codex. Far more constrained no doubt but it made some things convenient like finding obscure `ls` flags.

Waymo has demonstrated capability (in a limited sense) with full self-driving so I'm excited for this to take off. What concerns me are the screens. They are going to play ads on a…

> Modern IDEs tend to support SSHing out to remote hosts to perform builds there, so as long as you're ok with source code being visible on laptops you can at least shift the "I ne…

Taking long term considerations into account does not need to happen over a long period of time. The advantage of machines is their superior ability to parallel process efficiently…

I can attest to the unstable handling of '+' suffixed emails. UPS allowed me to ship a package as guest with myemail+ups@gmail.com but wouldn't let me create an account with the sa…

There's plenty of threads here that talk about what tool works best for notes. I want to know what kind of notes are you taking down and how you're organizing your thought.

What if I am travelling to another country physically where I don't read or write the local language? Would this affect my website access even if I'm connected via an IP inside the…

That is incorrect. On-campus employment is allowed in the student visa and graduate student appointments are typically RA positions which qualify as employment under this definitio…

I've always wondered if the fluorescent markers are visible to the fish and whether that might change their behaviour during experiments especially if it is a group interaction wit…

We could send a small remote controlled submersible vessel through it. Get some lights in there and see it from the inside out.

I ride a bike as my daily driver and have owned and operated motorcycles extensively in the past. Motorcycles should never ride as close to the edge of the road as bikes do. They'r…
