- Ad verecundiam. One does not need to be in a institution to come up with interesting observations/ results.
To be frank the reason that make me question it the most is how repetitive the redaction is. Seems LLM-like.
However, that's not a valid reason to discard an interesting result.
- I'm a little bit skeptical but i dont have any objective argument or experience in the field to justify it. I didn't want to post it, but I was surprised that almost no one in the hn comments had the same feeling.
Don't get me wrong, I would love this finding to be replicable, it would be pivotal as what other nerves could we stimulate to change perception (think pain, mental health issues, loss of senses).
Also, I wonder if this could take us closer to understand a little bit more of how the brain works. Like this could be a great way for normalizing 'inputs' and see how different brains react to it.
Very very exciting news, but I will hold on my hype until someone else can replicate this result.
- Sometimes the simplest of experiments/observations can lead to useful results: You can't do science without challenging your beliefs.
And while this result isn't extraordinary, it definitely creates knowledge and could close the gap to more interesting observations.
- Not ultra experienced with react, but I have shot myself in the foot just because the way react is made compared to other frameworks:
- infinite loop due to re-rendering on the render function (it happens every single time i come back to react) - using useEffect when not required - nested object updates (dunno if this is still an issue) - class vs whatever the name is (className?)
Overall as another comment said I feel more fighting against react pitfalls than focusing on my application's logic. That really takes a toll in productivity as part of your brain loses a small portion of 'RAM'/cognitive load as you need to make an active effort to not shoot yourself in the foot. I guess most people get used to it, but for me it just never clicks knowing there are similarly performant frameworks with way more friendly APIs.
- I haven't used background tasks/agents in cursor. Could you provide an example for stuff that you use it for?
- Last time I received it I was on a 14th floor and I was terrified. Longest seconds of my life while I waited the P wave to arrive.
- Try biking. I can't run due to a hip issue and it has been very fun for me.
- IMO the mistake was not knowing what he was doing. He basically (at a macro scale) copy-pasted stack overflow code without understanding what it does... We've all been there.
I don't think LLMs are at blame here, it is a tool and it can be used poorly. However, I do wonder what's the long term effects on someone who uses them to work on things they are knowledgeable about. Unfortunately this is not explored in the article.
- I don't think it is WAF related, it clearly says:
> If you are owner of this website, prevent this from happening again by upgrading your plan on the Cloudflare Workers dashboard.
Looking into it, my hypothesis is that the owners page is SSRd using cloudflare workers and they reached the daily limits.
- Why is healthline so high on the block/lower list? (Excluding Pinterest)
IMO I like the fact that they link sources to their claims, which is very rare on the current web. I think of it as a somewhat trustable source of information. Am I wrong?
- To be honest, current format worked perfectly for me: I ended up reading all entries without feeling something was off in how they were organized. I really really liked that each section had a concrete example, please don't remove that for future entries.
Thank you for sharing your insights! Very generous.
- Chat gpt is already free to a very generous extent, and covers 80% (if not more) of the learning resources you could need for almost any topic, theory-wise. I'd risk saying it can adapt for most people's needs.
For practical knowledge you just need to do it over and over. A good mentor/teacher would help a lot, but the very very basics I'd say are learnable by yourself. It's as simple as doing it over and over and keeping a critical eye on what went good and not.
As a result, I don't think free public colleges would enable more people to -actually- learn compared to what we have today. However, I find it would be a great place to build community and find people with similar interests to you, which is quite rare to do without an app these days.
- I hate many details from Apple's software, but most stuff people are complaining about is solved by downloading an app/plugin that does it. However, this should not be the case when you're paying for a 'premium' OS. It's highly frustrating and time consuming.
At this point I think I've spent more time tweaking macOS settings, downloading and testing stuff than I did when I had Ubuntu as my work OS. Ridiculous.
- I think this is more of a rationalized excuse to not enjoying your job. I'm not saying that debugging, learning or tackling hard problems is not frustrating. However, if that frustration outweighs the fulfillment that you get from it, one should just say 'I dont enjoy doing this' instead of 'I wont be doing this when I'm 50'.
- I've seen many times on HN people complaining on the OpenAI scraping to be quite intense unnecessarily, not respecting robots.txt, among other statements.
It seems too much of a coincidence that 'deep research' was released three days ago (Feb 2) and that the National Library of Medicine site has been under heavy traffic around Jan 27 (based on what I could see on the internet archive).
I have 0 evidence to back up the claim that the cause of this heavy traffic comes from OpenAI, but just wanted to note it on HN to see if sparks some interesting discussions.
- > The Old Command: git checkout
I didn't even know git switch existed, let alone git checkout was considered the old alternative. I feel old.
To be fair I started learning git a little less than 10 years ago but woah, I can't express how it feels that someone learning git today will be confused of why I use git checkout. Like using old fashioned language.
More on topic, this guide would've been super useful when I was learning. It is really easy to follow and covers common FAQs.
I fondly remember being intimidated by my first merge conflict, aborting it and just doing some workarounds to prevent the conflict.
- Just my 2 cents on the research:
Might be cool to see how scores changes if we weight in by game popularity. I was thinking of just whatever score generated by a gpt function, or by play data in game libraries/trackers.
On another topic, it makes me wonder how they actually decide what colors should go in the name and how much time they spend on it. Do they have the data laid out like this? Or they just wing it?
Thanks for the read, I enjoyed it
- I have barely done anything in game development, but in terms of engine, what has been better for you as a solo dev?
Risk of rain comes to mind as a great multiplayer videogame with a small team, it was made with gamemaker studio.
I am curious how is the ecosystem right now and if Godot has become a more attractive option for solo/indie development.
Just a curious question if the authors or any maintainers read this comment:
Does this bug fix break the functionality of re-connecting the client? Or how would the client know they need to use the same port as the previous session?
(My understanding is that a new client coming from the same IP and different port will now be treated as a new player instead of a reconnect)
