I kept finding myself getting distracted during those unpredictable stretches while Claude or Codex was working, so I built a little place to spend that time instead. It’s a mix be…

Glad it can be helpful!

Hey HN, I loved Pieter Mae's HN book map from 2024 ( https://hnbooks.pieterma.es/ ) and immediately wanted to dive into a lot of the nonfiction books. I didn't have a ton of time t…

This is very polished! I worked on http://learngitbranching.js.org/ which is a similar approach (browser simulated lessons). My one suggestion is that you might want to allow peopl…

For example, Perplexity has been fudging their accounting numbers to shift COGS to R&D to make their margin appear profitable: https://thedeepdive.ca/did-perplexity-fudge-its-numbe…

You can't compare an API that is profitable (search) to an API that is likely a loss-leader to grab market share (hosted LLM cloud models). Sure there might not be any analysis tha…

I hope you'll be OK!

Hello, author here :) It's actually not based on geolocation, I just directly look at navigator.language / navigator.browserLanguage: https://github.com/pcottle/learnGitBranching/b…

Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud here -- everyone wants to believe in education improvement but there's a harsh reality of the industry that is pretty unpleasant to confro…

The founders can answer better, but a lot of traders are not just looking at individual stocks but rather packages of stocks together. Say you want to invest in the health + tech s…

For those who want a rough programming analogy here -- this sounds like support for multi-row transactions in a SQL database where only single row edits were allowed before. Now yo…

Yes they are, in a sense that the outstanding mortgage debt grows at a slower pace than inflation. However the 3% is guaranteed for ~30 years, so it's likely the bank would still c…

The forks don't "disappear", but they get overruled since the consensus has shifted to the majority opinion of the ledger. Thus all of the transactions on a local fork (that doesn'…

This is awesome! What kind of bias would we expect to see in the training set?

Given the precision of the points, lexicographical order on (x,y) would essentially be lexicographical order on just x, which then induces a lot of jumping around the map.

Yes this is just a standard JSONP response as served through jQuery; not sure why this wasn't clarified.

Wow, I'm surprised this isn't bigger news yet. Even further indication that Level 4 driving needs LIDAR

That sounds nuts; it seems like a huge liability that they are putting AP2 in the hands of consumers when it can be more dangerous than just the average driver...

> You down voters really support that? Amazing. They are probably misinterpreting your comment; at first I thought you meant Levandowski was the one who invented the LIDAR componen…
