I thought that was satire. I can't believe someone actually wrote that.

I suppose any feature you need is a design pattern, and everything from functions onup are whys of implementing features your language doesn't natively support.

This feels... grotesque? The free market is meant to ensure that competitors lower their prices to compete with Disney+. If instead corporations raise prices to compete with... profits over marketshare, then it feels like something has gone terribly wrong.

It seems like a lot of people these days are doing generative adversarial AI and the pretending like they invented a new thing.

People should stop downvoting respectful disagreement. This isn't reddit.

The slow drip of government interference means people forget what a free and open interent was like. Slowly, its becoming segmented by chickenshit regulation, censorship, and corporate control. We don't care because its only Texas and its adult content, but this is what the slow chipping away of freedom looks like: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Especially considering wordle has no unique gameplay. Its a very, very old game with a million variations. There was even a TV show called lingo or something that did competetive wordle. The only thing NYT owns is a brand since the game is hundreds of years old.

Sounds like a minor dispute blown up into something sinister.

No.

I wonder if there are continents we'll never know about because they get completely subducted and aren't part of any existing continent today.

, it shocked me and raised awareness to how poor my indoor ventilation is.

Do you want indoor circulation? Wouldn't that just mean your apartment loses heat/AC?

Well, Michael J. Fox was diagnosed exceptionally young. Most people only suffer when they're of retired age.

That's a good question. I'm not sure. But it feels like something I'd want to either prepare myself for or just have the relief it won't happen to me.

My grandmother had Parkinson's and it was awful. How long until I can go to the doctor, get some blood drawn, and see if I'll develop it one day?

Caller ID is an optional feature and currently phone calls can be made while spoofing the source. This is why people get so many scam calls. As I understand it, the industry is still in the process of adopting changes that will prevent this.

If it did, then every comet would be full of life.

This is quite similar to Sumerian numerals and countless other tally-based numerals. I fail to see what's totally unique about this number system.

HackerNews isn't actually a news site. Intellectually stimulating articles are and always have been allowed.

So I remember looking into this a while ago, and I don't really have proof, but it seems like the description of "dance" is probably misleading. There's, for instance, something called St. Vitis' Dance, which is a neurological condition people still get today. You can look at videos of that and I don't think any modern person would possibly describe that as dancing, but that's how it was perceived in an older age. As fascinating as the case of the dancing plague is, I suspect it was a disease with the more mundane symptom of muscular dyskinesia or dystonia and we're imagining something akin to actual dancing.

Again, I have no proof. It just seems like we're taking the descriptions we have too literally from an era where medical terminology was often metaphorical and made by people with an extremely limited understanding of disease.

Good research question, bad research.

As per 1, my understanding was that the training corpus is a well-known, and human-curated dataset. Its not just scraping the internet or anything.

I've seen this with CGI. CGI still looks awful somehow, but people about my age think it looks cinematic, and people a decade younger think it looks incredibly realistic.

That is inscrutably abstract and jargony.

It seems natural that people living in the mountains would have a robust topographical tradition.

the days where "lol" meant something was truly funny have long past

I genuinely remember when the term was new and its meaning as literally laughing out loud lasted for about as long as milk.

Problem is, it can't go where you need it to go without any concerns. There are problems doing that whether you ignore them or not. I should be able to plug whatever I want into an electrical socket and not have to worry about whether it'll start a fire, but I can't.

This is a somewhat uninsightful observation that only has people responding to it because of pedantic arguing. I don't think anyone even disagrees with the author, they're just arguing about words.

But why?

This feels like an alternative way of thinking about DRY. Make the running progra@ not have to repeat itself.

Its my favorite so far.
