Incredible: Claude 4.5 was able to answer that quickly and gave the right answer (all NFL teams’ names end whit an s).
But ChatGPT kind of had a meltdown (the Miami Dolphins especially tripped it a few times) and gave a doubly incorrect answer: it said one without telling which team it is.

For a few days now, https://news.ycombinator.com/ask has been only showing me around fifteen submissions with no way to load more. Has anyone noticed the same thing?

True, but I still pay for both Claude and ChatGPT so that I can use the latest models.

I’m a Kagi subscriber; I like it but I use it less and less.
The more times goes by, the more I use both ChatGPT and Claude to search (at the same time, to cross-check the results) with Kagi used to either check the results when I know strictly nothing of the subject or for specific searches (restaurants, movie showings…).
I’ve almost completely stopped using Google.

You could have put a minus sign before the Finnish word; a minus sign before a word excludes this word from the results.

It’s true you must give Fastmail a phone number to set up 2FA, but you can erase the phone number once 2FA is in place.

I would recommand Fastmail (fastmail.com). Not free, but they respect your privacy and there are options to compose and read email in plaintext.

A funny - but real, it seems - 1944 memo warning against the use of gobbledygook in memoranda. Seen on http://boingboing.net/2016/04/29/1944-memo-from-manager-sick...
According to http://www.futilitycloset.com/2016/04/29/clear-purpose, this is the first known usage of gobbledygook to refer to obscure jargon.

I want to learn to code. Should I learn algorithms first?
Hello. I'm a new user on HN and I'm aslo learning to code (I chose Python). From the few books I began to read, I kind of got the idea that without a minimum of formal knowledge. Do you think I should learn algorithms first, or can I learn them while learning to code?
