You can start with plain language and work your way up towards the math. But it doesn't work the other way round.

The problem is that equations give the illusion of conciseness and brevity but in reality always heavily depend on context. You give a physicist an equation of a completely unrelat…

Don't despair. The key to becoming proficient in advanced subjects like this one is to first try to understand the fundamentals in plain language and pictures in your mind. Ignore …

It's distribution. Guy's got a brand name now. People and investors recognize his name. It's a lot easier to find an absolute quantity N of investor money for a fraudulent but well…

This is the classic flawed reasoning on the left. Capitalism & free markets =/= lawlessness. A small & focused government would have more resources, not less, to function in one of…

> you seem to suggest that The Free Market could correct our path to fascism, and that pesky human services and wanton over-regulation are what are really preventing us from reachi…

The obvious problem with the 5% rule is that voters who don't like any of the established parties are faced with the decision between voting for something they don't like or most l…

The boring but true answer is that the only thing people should be protesting for is a change of the electoral law. Everything else is downstream of that. In the US, it's a de-fact…

> Manus is running $5000 credit for 2000 people. How would this work though? They give out free "credits" and then claim usage of those as ARR? That would be outright fraudulent, n…

While I have no issues believing that the outlined strategies are effective, and I sincerely congratulate the author on his journey, there is a flip side to engineering "social nor…

Excellent, thanks. So basically this is saying: "our pixels-to-token encoding is so efficient (information density in a set of "image tokens" is much higher as compared to a set of…

Can someone ELI5 to me (someone who doesn't have the time to keep up with all the latest research) what this is and why it's a big deal? It's very hard to guess from the github and…

Let's not forget this gem here [1]. Tells you everything you need to know about the company and its leadership. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27424195

It gets even crazier when compared to other IP law: Engineer makes an invention: Write 30-Page patent application. Multi-year patenting process with USPTO, pay 1000s of $ if DIY, 1…

I apologize for this extremely dumb question, but how is this a "server"? As far as I'm aware Blender is a local app. It can run without an internet connection. If an LLM wants to …

A bit "off topic" but this is called AMA, so why not: To which degree do you see your own profession (law practice) changing with AI? As an outsider it looks like most of the legwo…

This was of course a calculated move. The founders of Glass are not that stupid. They knew the original author would complain in the loudest way possible and cause a viral outrage,…

Except that no view-dependent effects that would benefit multi-view consistency are present in your splats. So yes, it's very much like the RGB-D visualizations from 10 years ago, …

I don't know. All of this smells fishy. Clearly noone has worked 16 years on this. The whole description is odd. Made by a new HN account. The thing barely works. Sometimes you get…

Shameless plug, but if you own an iPhone pro or iPad Pro (which have Lidar integrated), you should give Dot3D a try. It does everything you describe and we made it very easy to use…

Should change title. They sold 51% at a valuation of $8.75B, so cash in is ~ $4.29B.

A bit off-topic but I'm so glad to see skeuomorphic UI make a comeback! Check out the toggle switch in the upper right corner! I hope more designers will follow this example.
