These headlines really sound like the glorious The Register of Old, before the suits showed up and murdered it.

This is a great report. Using a claude.md like that is honestly genius.

I'm surprised there was no human tested for a base reference point. I'm pretty sure some of us would not pass the test held by another human.
roselan | 1 year ago | on: A design flaw in the Windows 3D Pipes screen saver pointed out by a customer
On my very first job at the turn of the century, I remember I was by a client seating in front of a server, looking at a black screen waiting for something to happen, highly doubting the claim of the client.
"It only works when you guys are here". Yeah, right.
Already 3 coworkers had to deal with this but couldn't find anything, this was more than strange. So I asked them to yell as soon as something happen.
15 minutes later my wandering thoughts were interrupted by Pipes materializing itself into existence. Oh. And for that day I was the hero.

If you turn them on when it's not raining, it explodes.
roselan | 2 years ago | on: Total Commander
As many here I'm in love with Total Commander for a long time and it was my first purchase.
I find equally amazing that it's a one man shop. Christian Ghisler created, maintains and supports this application for 30 years (initial release: 29th Sep 1993).
I have boundless admiration for this kind of dedication.

I still like to have a unique id field per table. It helps logging and it doesn't care about multi fields "real" key.
However I keep an unique index on the string value and more importantly point integrity constraints to it, mainly for readability. It's way easier to read a table full of meaningful strings rather than full of numerical id or uuids.

Another reason I saw was that models were trained on 512x512 "portrait" images including very few hands. Added to the inherent complexity of hands, this throw off their generation.

Has it been trained on HN comments??

Where does this amount go? Back to Finra members?
roselan | 4 years ago | on: The UK’s pursuit of the perfect pitch changed football
In addition English clubs were the first to solve the hooligans problem and as such were the first to remove "prison camp" like fences between the pitch and public, giving games a fantastic atmosphere.
roselan | 5 years ago | on: Microsoft in talks to buy Discord for more than $10B
I went to the website and my first reaction was literally "wtf is that shit?"
Why should I drop discord? Why should I create an account? Why should I download the app and not test in browser?
Even at the bottom: > Ready to try Guilded? > It's easy and free.
If there is a try, there is a catch. (maybe not but on the web it's implied nowadays)
This is not appealing at all.
I'm pretty sure the product is good but your "marketing" sounds completely off to me.

google++
That's what popped in my mind when the title ("Stories meet their widest audience ever").

Wasn't it simply a marketing stunt?

I'm surprised the vibration shown in the video was not addressed at all. I thought maglev trains, without friction, would ride smoothly even when accelerating.
roselan | 6 years ago | on: Just how fast is too fast when it comes to web requests?
I use jquery ui "highlight" effect as visual confirmation for action completion. It's a background easing animation, basically it "flashes" before fading out.
It might not be fancy but it's simple and helps.

AMD cpu and gpu are in playstation and xbox, and I guess that won't change next generation. Game devs optimize perf for console first I believe, so it might favours AMD in games too, albeit indirectly.

With children staying with their parents into adulthood and earning a wage, we might even speak of 3 wages per household.
This might be compensated my the raise of monoparental households.

In some places it can be -1 or 2 indexed so that a building can have more floors than legally specified.
