The issue seems to be with the expectation that personal enrichment and subjective aesthetic appreciation should be socially instead privately funded

I don't consider myself an open weights supporter, but it's a bit of a bummer that if there's any novel search technique discovered by the model throughout this finding, it's possi…

It's not number of houses, it's number of houses where people want to live. "house prices would not be increasing in areas of population decline" -> the causation could be running …

I use it to write instructions, obviously. I thought everyone was using C-g on Claude Code

If the EU as a system has an undemocratic backdoor it's descriptively correct to call it undemocratic. Not to play too hard on the HN user stereotype, but you wouldn't call a compu…

What’s the meaning of skeuomorphic design for a generation that has never worked with the original physical artifacts they’re based on, though?

Where do I sign to show my opposition to this change? Hide My Email has been essential to keep my digital life protected from abusive mail lists and frankly one of the features tha…

Yes it is bad, but if you believe some version of the most extreme forecasts of this tech then a government paying attention and doing some stupid things may be better than one tha…

Regardless of one’s opinion about AI, from a product perspective this seems somewhat similar to the dev using his 48gb ram machine and latest iphone to test an app that will be use…

People like to blame social media for this kind of bullshit, but social media is just the vector. Just this week I read a "study" because someone claimed on social media that it wa…

I don't think the following is a great idea for many reasons, but it's an idea that has been on my mind for a while and I'd like to share it to hear some thoughts: Germany has (use…

Hm, that’s a multinomial classification with a very high cardinality. It’s really weird it works. I’m sure it does as the author states, but for how many authors (out of the whole …

I don’t think Americans would enjoy the alternative of defaulting on that debt, or the counterfactual of not having raised that debt in the first place But yeah, having to pay your…

I think this might depend on where you intend to sell them. I think in life plus 50 countries (Egypt, China, many others) it should be out of copyright already. IANAL, so consult o…

I haven't done it myself, using game engines as UI frameworks is not unheard of :)
