Vince staples - norf norf. Very random reference but pleasantly surprised nevertheless.
They flood an industry with funds and let them all compete with each other. Then they back the biggest winner. A command economy usually mandates X units of Y good. This isn’t quite that.

Re:Ask HN: Cursor or Windsurf? on Monday May 12, 2025 @05:53AM (#43961272)
Windsurf. The context awareness is superior compared to cursor. It falls over less and is better at retrieving relevant snippets of code. The premium plan is cheaper too, which is a nice touch.

disclaimer: No relation. Adding to this clearspace app. Kicks you out of your current at after a selected amount of time. Takes time to load the app in, really good jolt to the brain. Although the apps SSO is buggy af, and it glitches out sometimes.

If I recall correctly, they have been trending upwards for the the past 100 years (up 30 points but I doubt the average person was clinically retarded) and only relatively recently has started to show a slight decline. IQ tests from 100 years ago are still pretty valid, they use military tests I believe. Double check that.

Re:Ask HN: How are you using GPT to be productive? on Thursday April 06, 2023 @05:46AM (#35466272)
Hey, is it alright if you explain this in a bit more detail. I've playing around with llama-index myself. Do you have multiple indices? Or do you run each question through and get multiple responses. Isn't that quite expensive?

How do you also deal with the formatting of the various excel files. Would love to see the source code for this if you are willing to share?

Heres a link to the clip if anyone else is looking. https://livestreamfails.com/clip/150015

Race isn't a discrete category. Ethnicity is closer to what you're describing.

Don’t know where you are geographically but if you’re in London, I’d be up for getting a drink!

Same. That being said I googled the term and it's not as derogatory as I thought[0], still not good though.

They're south african and a huge holder in tencent. Edit: Memory failed me, the parent company is south african.
Bot networks aren't really needed, they can just be real people. Young people disproportionately use social media, young women especially so. The intersection of those two groups happen to be left leaning [0], and more socially connected which I'm using as a proxy for political awareness [1]. Plus in my general experience people are just really vocal about identity politics. It wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption that the primary demographic of a website are not a fan of content that challenges their world-views.

I'm no expert but if it simulates a window, no normal cameras can capture the field of view as effectively as a lightfield. Google also had a proprietary method of transferring data, not sure if that's mentioned in the article.
Or no go towns for black people. I feel like america demonstrates the worst and best society has to offer.

If this uses fully fledged lightfield[0] it might be able to.
