anjellow··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
Some people can’t help themselves to read this like a Ouija board.
anjellow··on C++26: Std:Is_within_lifetime
but you will have to read it if someone else uses it.
anjellow··on Ask HN: Can we have a 30 day moratorium on Musk/Twitter posts?
Ironically, this is the only article about musk/twitter on the front-page for me.
anjellow··on Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions?
This depends on how the meat is frozen. Frozen meat can be more fresh in texture than chilled meat when flash frozen and dethawed immediately before use. The process of slowly freezing food alters the chemical structure, while flash freezing maintains this structure and subsequently the mouth feel and flavor of fresh meat/produce.
anjellow··on Apple Researching a Matte Black Finish for MacBooks
Can anyone shed light into what makes this difficult? I'd love a matte black mac, but I can't imagine this research is more than A/B testing.
anjellow··on Ask HN: Why isn’t finance a part of the core curriculum at schools?
The only schools with religious ed are religious schools. Do you think this would be a general fix?
anjellow··on Leveraging A Poor Memory In Engineering
I always thought those "factoids" were silly. There's a massive bandwidth difference between a few clicks and instant recollection.
anjellow··on Three Men Charged in ‘Swatting’ Schemes
I'd assume in any situation where a swat team is necessary, 5 minutes of triage would drastically decrease effectiveness.
anjellow··on Ask HN: Favorite technology predictions in science fiction?
Star Trek predicted automatic sliding doors and flat screen TVs
anjellow··on Ask HN: Best book for HPC?
Is that book still relevant? It says it was written in 1998.
anjellow··on 8K 13.3'' OLED laptop screen [video]
Nah, you'd need to emulate the depth and lighting of a real window before anyone would mistake a screen as reality.
anjellow··on Open Source Neural Network Synthesizer
thats a very subjective way at looking at it.
anjellow··on Open Source Neural Network Synthesizer
In what way is Aphex Twin's project better?
anjellow··on An opinionated guide to Haskell
I'd have to agree with you. Having read the entirety of LYAH as an introduction to Haskell and functional programming, I felt introduced to a-lot of functional concepts and Haskell syntax. That's unfortunately it. With the absence of practice problems, nothing really stuck, and I'm nowhere near prepared to create a project myself.

Overall, it's not a waste of time, but I'm sure there are more stimulating Haskell books out there that'll better lead you to think in a functional way.

anjellow··on UC Berkeley research fellow Michael Cohen dies at 25
If anyone's interested, I found video of Michael Cohen as a guest lecturer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3umLs_SnhQ
