Not from America, but can I ask... Is the SAT that difficult?

The slop sickens me. If deep down there still is a part of you that enjoys problem solving and creativity, then you should always do it yourself. The technology still isn't even that great.

I wanted to write a simple midi chord controller for my phone to make music, emphasis on simple. AI can't do it and couldn't even help me on small code fragments, because it doesn't look at the problem through the lens of my artistic creativity.

Vibe coding creates weak men because you reject the deeper meaning behind what you are creating. Vibe coding creates weak men because they can't code.

A single example being 14 cad a month, with the implication being that you have lots of monthly subscriptions for "small apps" sends shivers down my spine. I know YC has lots of wealthy people, but come on!

No Offense taken, but what's the point in using AI for anything unless you don't want to do it? I want live my life not consume information, is that really so bad?

The security advantage I see in mtotp is that you never reveal the password to the system you are authenticating with, but that there is also no electronic device that can be compromised

I've lost the joy in programming, the only thing I'm good at, I now make horrible music, but at least I don't exist as the means to an end that I don't control.

Step 1 in this situatoon is to try and see if this is a known mathematically unsolved problem, and if it is, giving up.

Isn't this just trying to find a hamiltonian cycle, isn't this NP hard? That's when I would give up, especially because you put so many constraints in it to make it human walkable.

Edit: Of course you don't have to give up, but it's good to know what you get yourself into

I remember asking myself this question years ago, and came to 162 bits. I was just a kid back then so the logic is probably wrong but I do wonder how simple the encoding could be under those constraints...

Edit: Here are the Notes

0 Empty

10 Pawn

1100 Knight

1101 Rook

1110 Bishop

1111 Queen

32 + 32 + 472

2 times 6 bits: position of the kings

30 bits: color mask

120 + 2*6 + 30 = 162 bits

We can store the rest using the methods from the blog post and add 18 bits for promotion, giving 180 bits.

I'm sure this isn't the most efficient way, and I think I had other methods and considered things like the bishops being able to occupy 32 squares, though special casing doesn't make sense because of promotions.

Technically if you got 8 bishops/queens/knights/rooks You would occupy another 16 bits, giving 196 bits

I think the upper limit can be reduced at the cost of increasing the lower limit

EDIT2: I think I made the assumption at the time that to promote one piece you needed to capture at least one enemy pawn, giving the space for the two bits, which means the upper bound is actually 180 bits

Would love to see other people try in the comment section

Honestly, if these image models still use diffusion with random seeds at their core, it might be actually more secure than blurring it yourself.

Honestly this should've been introduced with the new AI Features from the start, it's just shipping slightly too late to fully regain my trust.

I couldn't in good conscience work like that, I believe the risk of bad AI generated code due to the tiniest of output variation is far too high. Especially in systems that need to maintain a large state governed by many rules and edge cases.

I remember another hacker news commentator describing these orbital data centers as a obviously bad idea to the point where any investments into that technology are incomprehensible. I share that sentiment, is there something I'm missing?

I mean sure why not?

As long as contributions happen in good faith and not just for the sake of contributing, but I'm assuming there's already a system in place to ensure that for other civic services.

I wish I had known that there are no private github gists. Wish this was made more clear...

Why?

I remember a few open source projects struggling with hundreds of merge request of people simply adding their name to the README because they want to add "open-source" contributor to their resume as part of some bootcamp.

Any mandatory service will result in at worst malicious compliance and at best in low quality work. And I'd rather take quality over quantity.

On linux it's very stable, on windows slightly less, but only in edge cases when stacking a big number of effects. Haven't used it on mac though, I think it either was or still is in beta on that platform. I was also unhappy about instability in the beginning, but it magically became better after regularly using it.

I use it and love it. Worth the money!

Traffic isn't the right place to be if you demand not to be seen. If you do not want your data to be stored that's a different matter, but I'm still gonna look at you while driving to not crash, I have to.
