This is cursed as shit lol
akasakahakada··on Ask HN: What are the most underrated skills in tech?
Competitive programming skill. Just right click any where on Win11 and see how slow the menu will pop up. 100 of thousands Microsoft employees and NONE of them can make thing work faster.
akasakahakada··on Teaching general problem-solving skills is not a substitute for teaching math [pdf] (2010)
> There is now a large body of evidence showing that studying worked examples is a more effective and efficient way of learning to solve problems than simply practicing problem solving without reference to worked examples (Paas & van Gog, 2006).

Mathematicians RIP.

Math texbook: Here are worked examples after the chapter. Worked by you. Enjoy your homework!

Use this to compare university textbook edition 8 and 9 before buying.
akasakahakada··on The Limited Value of Multivitamin Supplements
If one can afford to buy extra supplements to eat everyday, probably can also afford to buy a car to drive around and die more often in car accident than who don't drive.
akasakahakada··on Ask HN: Is Docker difficult for non technical people?
That's why Microsoft tell people to distribute software via .exe
akasakahakada··on The 10x developer makes their whole team better
So you mean rock star should leave music and teach people how to sell tickets and mix tracks?
akasakahakada··on Ask HN: How many AGI researchers have/are studying philosophy seriously?
Doing real stuff vs just talk. The Universe do not coherent with your thought experimental result from philosophy e.g. quantum mechanics, black hole, etc. Scientific discoveries have provided people evidence to pursue science, but what about philosophy? What is your evidence to prove that you have value?
akasakahakada··on The 10x developer makes their whole team better
> Instead of an engineer who’s an order of magnitude “better” than their peers, leaders should look for people who are willing and able to learn—and to help their whole team learn and execute, too.

No. Build a whole team with people who willing to learn new stuff around that rock star.

I got 404 not found.
akasakahakada··on Refusal in language models is mediated by a single direction
LLM search engine coupled with so called "saftefy", will this lead us to somewhere as dystopian as described by literature?

Like,

Me: Hey library, tell me how insects make love.

Library: Sorry I can't answer that. Knowledge of insects' intercourse can be extrapolated into human's. To protect human from AIDS, I cannot tell you that.

akasakahakada··on TDK claims solid state battery breakthrough
Not in consumer electronics, but pretty much became the largest electronic component manufacturer in the world.
akasakahakada··on TDK claims solid state battery breakthrough
Sure, but 40 billion years later.
akasakahakada··on TDK claims solid state battery breakthrough
If this thing can put into mass production, what is the excuse to not generate electricity only by solar panels?
akasakahakada··on NumPy 2.0
To be honest einsum is the easiest one. You get fine control on which axis matmul to which. But I wish it can do more than matmul.

The others are just messy shit. Like you got np.abs but no arr.abs, np.unique but no arr.unique. But now you have arr.mean.

Sometimes you got argument name index, sometimes indices, sometimes accept (list, tuple), sometime only tuple.

Why Japanese?
akasakahakada··on Observation of Earth's rotation with quantum entanglement
FlatEarther: How do you know the Earth is spining?

Physicist: Well, just look at these particles.

akasakahakada··on New algorithm discovers language just by watching videos
Linguists e.g. Chomsky: No you can't. Proof is left as an exercise.
akasakahakada··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
Because smartphone should be smarter everyday. We should expect it can do yet another trick in the next generation.
akasakahakada··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
> active cooling fan

Nubia or RedMagic has a active fan inside the phone.

akasakahakada··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
Yup V50's dual screen used different panel.

> glue holding it to the body seemingly failed

This happen to my first V50 as well. Wonder why is the screen seemed funny one day and discovered that I can lift up the oled panel wtf. Carefully glued it back, still using it right now.

akasakahakada··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
Never used Microsoft Duo. LG is like having two computer with two mouse. You can game in one hand while scrolling facebook on the other hand.
akasakahakada··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
Still using LG V50 for 3.5 years baby. Bought 2 more as spare.

Planning to collect all dual screen but they are kind of run out of stock.

LG's dual screen implementation is amazing. Both screen can operate separately, that's true multi-tasking! Damn I wish I bought more back in the days.

akasakahakada··on Low-intensity exercise connected to decreased depression
sampling size n=1
akasakahakada··on Ask HN: What does experience of data structures and algorithms mean?
Means they need performant software, not garbage. And they are operating large scale service that manipulate billions of data entry per second or so. I guess.
akasakahakada··on Clean Code Means Good Code: The Horrible Performance Debate
Reason why we still don't have AGI is such long excuse for writing slow code.

Author argue that right tool for right thing, simple app don't need fast algorithm.

So people will just write 1000 small classes and function and since they are small, they affort to be slow. And then all grouped together as a big app by OOP mindset. Now we have the slowest app world champion.

Author: and then we optimize hot spot.

Yep. Every little function is a hot spot.

Author: or get the optimized version written by other people later.

Why externalize the responsibility of your own code.

akasakahakada··on What's the best explanation for LLMs being almost right when citing sources?
Prompt engineering skill issue.
akasakahakada··on Low-intensity exercise connected to decreased depression
Or maybe reversely, the depression level is low enough that patients can get out of their bed and do some exercise?
