    You have some kind of bias in the dataset or the visualization. It's showing places in "Boston" to be south east of the city in a completely different location.

    This can't be for real. The title asserts there is minimal downside to switching to open models, but the article provides zero evidence that this is true, and the author hasn't eve…

    Actual title: I had Claude code up a diff tool in Rust over the weekend My guess is this made it to the front page solely from the Rust boost.

    Right, because I'm sure that's not what he's been doing this entire time. Everyone knows Google has been a shining beacon of goodwill since 2017.

    So what you're saying is this hypothetically disabled person who is physically incapable of driving chose NOT to mention that, but instead chose to provide "I never got my drivers …

    We shouldn't trust the new project. Right from [1] you linked to: > The problems I kept running into: > - I'm lazy. That should tell you all you need to know about this super hype …

    I thought I was the only one that did this. Double stay away if at the end you find out it was "made with love"

    Don't waste your time responding to people like this. Their post is not much more than a passing thought where they take the headline fully at face value, and therefore are convinc…

    Now imagine a significant portion of your students are missing the prerequisites. Do you really think these professors are up in arms about a few students who don't have the prereq…

    What difference does it make if they heard of it, or how rare displays are vs pen/paper coding? I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-paper and e-ink displays, but t…

    What's funny is that these days if I see a Google product that I'm even remotely interested in, I just immediately write it off because I know it's something they will kill in a ve…

    This is the most HN thing ever. Someone works to create an ultimately useless tool because no matter what you find the answer to be, the solution is the same: -- Attenuate loud noi…

    Maybe you had trouble re-reading your own comment but I can tell by how you responded here (a cascade of links/references) and a snarky comment ("I can keep going if you'd like") t…

    I love that you're looking to "spawn some special relationships" but are unwilling to ask for a name/number. There's no app in the world that will stop you from "wishing" you took …

    I guess "I poured some concrete into a mold and put a power outlet in it" wouldn't be as eye catching of a title. This is one of those things where someone does something incredibl…

    Right, so let's add more risk by flying side by side with some nutjob with no regard for their own life. Sounds reasonable.

    It absolutely does. The model that came closest simply used that model twice in the same equation. One for the cup and one for the air.

    Is this for real? This is like someone with no background in physics or engineering wondering "can a LLM predict the trajectory of my golf ball". They then pontificate about how ab…

    You're right. The name is just classic gatekeeping and elitist, clearly. I am 100% certain that's why they chose it. If they really cared about inclusion, they would have called it…
