It also doesn't make much sense

The vector of hours what?

If the seahorse emoji is introduced, we will have to train new foundation models. The costs connected to the introduction of the seahorse emoji will be in the billions.

Isn't it description list?

3.9.2: no piece can be moved if that exposes or leaves its own king in check.

Well, if a piece is pinned it's illegal to move it.

Rule 3.9.2: No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check.

> I've left this one to the bonus section because I've never used set operations on Counters and I'm finding it extremely hard to think of a use case for xor specifically. But I do appreciate the devs adding it for completeness.

Check out symmetric difference

because success comes from reproducing a memorized pattern rather than transferable reasoning?

At the same time failure proves little because most humans also could not manually create a correct SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.

What is it exactly that such a test is testing?

In which situation would you measure the "competence" of a human being by asking them to write an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle?

They flare to quickly burn off excess gases as a safety mechanism rather than anything else. Venting gas into the air would be much worse.

Well, the guitar has a finite number of strings and each string is partition into a finite number of frets. It's definitely not more than, say, 30^6 ~ 729 million.

That said, common chords are A, B, C, D, E, F, G (and their sharps and flats), combined with either major or minor mode. Hence "C, G, F, Am, Em" is an example of what someone could play. Now, of course, if it doesn't sound exactly like a G, perhaps it's a G7? After some practice, you can even hear, by the sound of the strings, exactly which chord it is. Em, G, and D are particularly simple to recognize.

Should be \subset.

I use .ag and it's YAML-inspired. I have incorporated ideas from Design by contract: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46554477

I have developed my personal agentic file format `.ag` for this purpose.

Here is the template I start with:

    #!/usr/bin/env gpt-agent
     
    input: <target/context (e.g., cwd)>
     
    task: |
      <one clear objective>
     
    output: |
      <deliverables + required format>
     
    require:
      - <must be true before start; otherwise stop + report>
     
    invariant:
      - <must stay true while working (scope + safety)>
     
    ensure:
      - <must be true at the end (definition of done)>
     
    rescue: |
      <what to do if any requirement/invariant/ensure cannot be met>

While they only had positive samples, the AIs sometimes reported cancer in the wrong location, meaning a double whammy: It failed to detect the cancer, and misdiagnosed a non-cancer.

From the paper:

> Two cancers had abnormality scores greater than 10 but were not correctly localized and were therefore categorized as AI-missed.

Yes, but it seems strange to claim that i^i isn't anything. That just completely ignores what's interesting, namely that i(π/2 + 2πk) is real for all k ∈ Z.

Is your argument that complex powers isn't anything?

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

> Yes PRC is a common abbreviation amongst literate, engaged, people.

So I'm either not literate, not engaged, or not people?

I'm surprised to learn it is as common as USA, UK, and EU.

Is "PRC" a common abbreviation? Does it mean "China", or does it mean something else? Why not write China?

I'm from KOS* (neighbor country of KON* and ROF*), so I don't know much.

* Kingdom of Sweden, Kingdom of Norway, Republic of Finland.

"exploit": make full use of and derive benefit from

I added one statement and it only says `timed out`. I'll stick with Graphviz, which certainly doesn't time out.

Sounds intriguing. What is an example of a chart and its language that you have designed so far?

The internet caused social media, which caused the attention economy and trumpism, and will be the bane of the next generations.

It's too soon to tell regarding "net positive for the economy".

You can just AI generate a photo and snap a picture of that.

There's no such thing as provable authenticity.

Just a nitpick. They said the classic file viewer is cat, not that cat's primary purpose was viewing files.

From TFAE

Gasoline and diesel cars are now obsolete in the Norwegian new car market, with a few hundred new cars per month, while EVs represent roughly 95-97%.

The current incentive program maintains the crucial VAT exemption for EVs, but only up to a purchase price of 500,000 Norwegian kroner (approximately $49,000 USD). This move is designed to target more expensive, luxury EVs, ensuring that the incentive benefits a broader range of consumers.

Three Core Python developers (including Eric Snow and Mark Shannon) from the Faster CPython team were fired from Microsoft in May 2025.

Quote from Mike Droettboom (CPython Core Developer):

It's been a tough couple of days. Microsoft's support for the Faster CPython project was canceled yesterday, and my heart goes out to the majority of the team that was laid off. A hard day for me, but even harder for others.

Most people I know simply use `latexpand` which "flattens" all files into one tex-file and by default removes all comments.

That's the Lindy effect: old tools like ls last because they've already lasted, while modern ones often don’t stick around long enough to.
