`uv sync --upgrade`? It's in the docs

Why use this over Equinox's Module, plus jaxtyping? That seems like the cleaner (and more established) solution, but maybe there are pros/cons I'm not seeing.

Death of the AI race? This is the starting gun.

"Financially, what will take me to $1B?" -Greg Brockman, August 2017

Seriously going to use AI to write a reply that would take you 30 seconds?

Thank you for the kind words! :)

This is a desperation move from the LLM providers here. Just think: if you were Sam Altman, and you actually had strong evidence that practical AGI was as imminent as claimed - wou…

There is a beautiful irony in your misspelling of Anno Domini as Anno Domani, for the Italian speakers in the room.

What is the benefit of this over `watch nvidia-smi`, possibly prepended with an `ssh` in the case of a remove server?

I love the concept of this and hope Slate survives, but $27.5k is too expensive for what they're offering. With the Kia Soul at $21.5k and with more features, and the Honda Civic a…

This was a disappointing article: based on the provocative title, I was hoping to learn something new. Everything in here is already clear to anyone who has read the "Getting Start…

Yes, it is completely wrong. If this were a valid explanation, flat-plate airfoils could not generate lift. (They can.) Source: PhD on aircraft design

Funny you should mention that! The surface of a trampoline can actually be modeled as a 2nd-order wave equation PDE, which uses a Laplacian spatial kernel - for the same reasons th…

This is a good question. It looks like Kalshi (which hosts the underlying market in question here) in fact does pay interest on both cash balances and open positions, at a reasonab…

You imply that the title "King of America" is pejorative, but did he or did he not refer to himself as a king? As far as I can tell, he endorsed this title. To add on this, predict…

> when it stops being laminar the flow separates Not true, laminar/turbulent and attached/separated are independent descriptors. Flow can be laminar+attached, laminar+separated (e.…

...that's the joke.

> literally no errors in its operation are tolerated Aircraft designer here, this is not true. We typically certify to <1 catastrophic failure per 1e9 flight hours. Not zero.

Disagree. The kind of serious plagiarism that's alleged in cases like this, Claudine Gay, Marc Tessier-Lavigne doesn't happen by accident, it's deliberate. There are plenty of acad…

Solar can absolutely be modulated; in fact, it's perhaps the easiest grid-scale power source to modulate since this can be done solid-state: just tune the MPPT to operate off-peak …

This is not how unit conversions work.

This is exactly the wrong time to use a LLM. Case in point: those coordinates are not in the Atlantic ocean.

This is rule-breaking on HN; argue in good faith.

Wow, Hilderman's quore is just factually incorrect where he says: "Fuel is 20 times more than the passenger weight" For most transport aircraft, passenger mass fraction is roughly …
