I find the claims regarding LLMs and their mistake prone nature around variable names very confusing. It appears that me and creator have had vastly different experiences with LLMs and their capabilities with complex…
I'm seeing some negative sentiment here, that I feel like, needs to be cleared up. For some context, I'm 29, I haven't always lived here, but have been here for almost 20 years. I work in the software industry. 1.…
Cheating in multiplayer games has become such a huge problem, it has destroyed trust across every major FPS. I am a long time CS player, but I did briefly play one of the new CoD games, before they went crazy with Nicki…
I think sites/pages like this hold an important role, presenting information to people who have trouble visualizing concepts or need visual aid to better assimilate information is important and sometimes, a simple 2D…
I've built a website and a browser extension/addon that allows you to download any video at it's best possible quality or as an MP3, made it mostly for myself but it was public. I made sure I don't collect any data…
I built PACT [1] to allow me to partition my CPU for different processes. I built SASRip [2] and MediaReaper [3] to download media from the internet to better share with my friends. I also have a myriad of small tools…
I will keep it short, say you have 4 perspectives, each with the same setup in 1080p60 @ 2500Kbps, combining in to a 4K video at the ingest server. Now, your ingest server needs to map each perspective on to a 4K canvas…
I tried showing my students how to use Regex and explained how I use it quite often to edit large amounts of repetitive texts, and the look of confusion that over time, switched to fascination in a few kids was just so…
As someone who can't even stand cigarette smoke, let alone do drugs, I have a particular fascination with psychedelics. The idea that there are things my brain is capable of, but needs a kick-start to do them just…
For many people, living a sustainable life means giving up a lot of modern technology and comfort, for the wealthy, not so much. Life has become so expensive for most people that were it not for cheap, low quality food…
I know I've had queries that had no results or at least no relevant results in the past from your traditional search engines, but now that there is a search engine that claims to find results for such queries, I can't…
What a great use for what would otherwise be e-waste. At first, having only seen the title, I thought that the loggers were out there with their phones and perhaps the responsible authorities had set up their own…
It really is cool, but what I don't understand is why do we need all this techno-babble-esque wording around the idea of "3D printed wood", just call it that. I see way too many simple but cool concepts bogged down by…
It's crazy just how much I go out of my way to avoid things that "personalize" my experience. I don't use online music services, I discover music on various platforms and and download mp3s and keep a local library. I…
Whenever I need to recreate a document from physical media in word, I can rely on one of three fonts, Calibri, Arial and Times New Roman, 95% of the time, it's one of those three. I've also tried online font recognition…
Just the other night, my SO told me how she saw the Starlink launch that added 60 more nodes to their mesh/cluster, she was at her grandparents' village, it's crazy what a difference the lack of light pollution makes to…
To some degree, I can understand the fake Covid tests, testing is expensive in many places and people need to be places to make ends meet. I don't think it's moral but I don't think it's entirely immoral either, it's in…
Do you know the saying, "Ever sign has a story behind it"? I feel like most of these absurd password policies have an underlying issue that's not immediately obvious to us.
I mean, Apple is still evil to the core, but for once it feels like the user can take advantage of their evil for their own benefit and take control of their privacy to some degree. I feel like Apple's long con is…
I can confirm, this is exactly what happened to me.
Ow boy, my first real comment on HN, please be gentle! Okay, so I have something related to this. two paragraph back-story was cut... So I built SASRip[1], an Open Source website with an API that allows you to download…
Website seems to have been XSSed :c I made it in, only to see a list of IP addresses, JS Alerts and finally being redirected to YT to get Rick Rolled. Or perhaps that was intended?
This is exactly how it works in Bulgaria, most second hand marketplaces use a courier who offers the following process: You describe what you are shipping, how much you want for it and who covers the shipping costs. The…
I have to say, the use of residential IPs as proxy for your traffic is essentially digital money laundering for data, or Data Laundering if you will. (IP laundering?) It's one thing to use a VPN, another to use some…
Here is a great video on TempleOS and Terry Davis himself. It talks about the development of the OS, it's history and his life in a chronological order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg
