I am suggesting that the major causative factor for life outcomes is genetics. Not "racist" property tax funding models. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can'…

I took 3 years of Japanese in HS (96-99). About 2 years ago I was doing a lot of work with genai and japanese typefaces. It was wild digging into how different the japanese web is.…

I have always been kind of hyper aware of . My wife and I only dated for 6 months before we got married in sept 2019 (second marriage for both of us, we knew what we each wanted). …

Kinda like when someone said that instead of running for mayor, Bloomberg could have given everyone in the country $1M. A guest said it on NBC and Bryan Williams, nor the pundit ha…

Nice work! Out of curiosity, how are you deciding what the verse of the day is? i.e. is randomness weighted somehow? There are are ~31k verses in the bible, 23k in old testament, 8…

Since the whole point of this is to limit LLM token consumption, it'd be interesting to see the results of prompts that use it. I've seen a ton of people who just paste a CSV into …

These kinds of results seem all too common. Like, why? Are companies just too used to using their general business attorneys for it, and those attorneys are just ignorant? Hungry f…

I worked for a PoE lighting company for a couple of years. Yes, the ability to program your lights based on time of day, occupancy sensors etc was all nice for the end consumers. B…

The book suggests two main reasons for this. 1. The reformation increased literacy/education in the populace to a greater extent in protestant areas, because you no longer needed c…

The book examines this in multiple different ways, not just at the national level, but even within countries (provinces that are more catholic vs more protestant, and even within G…

My dad is a tax attorney/cpa, but is also a magician. My birthday parties were dope. It certainly wasn't a full time job, but he made enough money from corporate parties doing walk…

I feel like this is a step in the right direction, but a lot of emotive text-to-speech models are only changing the duration and loudness of each word, the timing/pauses are better…

Anytime béziers are mentioned on HN, I feel compelled to share these absolutely incredible videos from Freya Holmér https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPPXbo87ds (73 minutes) https:/…

I work in this industry, relatively new to it. There is a mind numbing amount of work that goes into font engineering.
