The "--" seems so unnecessary though. Wouldn't "name=" be sufficient to signal a named parameter? Or maybe Toit has expressions that use "=".

The turbo button slows the CPU down so old programs that depend on clock speed (e.g. early games) run correctly.

Yes but that number is the vertical speed as it's measured in feet per minute.

CBC article says vertical speed was 30,000 feet per minute, which is 550km/h or 150m/s.

GVS5H, which this is based on, was discussed here a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50228167

Unfortunately all the license links there give 404 errors, but if you look in the file tree the licenses are there as described.

It is a direct question, not an insinuation. The comment was dead, and I thought they should have a chance to adjust.

Is this comment AI? That goes against the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The text files include a Python script, which the AI will execute to perform the skill.

FYI the box with the tool you've selected (where you upload and set parameters) is way too small on mobile. By scrolling you can use it, but you can only see a tiny bit of the interface at a time. Firefox on Android.

Not when you're prioritising sensationalism over accuracy. Everyone's heard of HTTP, but hardly anyone's heard of brotli.

Hardly odd; it's intentional. There are quite a few backwards and anagram words and names in the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon

Production company doesn't bother backing up hundreds of days of work, blames irresponsibly used AI for its own failure.

The phrase probably wasn't uttered by anyone it's attributed to: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/09/08/640k-enough/. Even "the time" is unknown.

Fascinatingly bizarre. More info: https://ecppec.ncl.ac.uk/features/rotten-boroughs/

Why not? If they have a mic that can pick up sound from the side it would be fine.

There's some info in the README, including:

> Coder: a coding version with half of the experts removed. It reaches 91% of the full model's SWE-bench Verified score (measured by its authors) and fits 32 GB of RAM.

Formatted so I can read it (on mobile...):

  <script>
    let count = $state(0);
    let dialog;
  </script>

  <button
    onclick={() => {
      count++;
      dialog.showModal();
    }}
  >
    :)
  </button>

  <dialog bind:this={dialog}>
    <p>
      Hello, I was clicked {count} times
    </p>
    <form method="dialog">
      <button>Close</button>
    </form>
  </dialog>

The inline onclick handler doesn't seem super readable, but the rest is fine.

Not an idle complaint. My library's search isn't fuzzy enough for the misspelled name to work.

Not sure why you wouldn't want to preserve timestamps, links, etc. by default.

The accordion folds and the coins are a bit messed up too.

Those are years, not page counts, right? The article mentions "millions of records", but I'm not sure how big a record can be.

Citation? Wikipedia has a clear Greek etymology:

> Alexander, originally from the Greek Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros), from αλέξειν aléxein meaning "to ward off, keep off, turn away, defend, protect" and ἀνδρός andrós, genitive of ἀνήρ anḗr meaning "man".

> Meaning "Defender, protector of man"

> previously unseen lunar crater that’s a whopping 728 feet across, more than twice the length of an American football field.

For the rest of the world, it's about 222m.

> objects the size of monster truck tires

FFS, just use metric! Apparently that's about 1.7m.

It takes about 5 seconds to open Wikipedia and type "TLA+".

*best, not better

I think this is overly optimistic; it assumes universities reacted instantly and pivoted to teaching coding with AI as soon as it was feasible. In actuality, university curriculums cannot change quickly, and AI capabilities are changing much faster. In my experience, some students are using AI to write code, but then have no idea what's going on. The "skill" of typing "Write a function to do [basic thing]" will not make them AI-native or help them in the workplace.

Is it any good at autoformalisation? I think it's likely to take focused fine-tuning to get something small enough that is still good at that.

Lots of people are talking about that, and have been for a while. Autoformalisation is clearly going to be a big deal, so mathematicians have been discussing it seriously, and using it where resources allow. A fine-tuned distilled model that could do it on high-end consumer hardware could really help.

Edit: There's also quite a bit of learning needed to use the tools, and to understand enough to confirm that the theorem being verified is what you think. And of course a lot of maths can't yet be expressed in Lean as the foundations haven't been built up enough.
