hyperturtle··on Most AI value will come from broad automation, not from R & D
I've always wondered if it would work out well for an LLM to evaluate a constraint program/script when it encountered a problem involving constraints / logic. like or-tools with python or evaluating a minizinc program.
hyperturtle··on Better HTTP server routing in Go 1.22
I also don't prefer using strings, but to be fair, HTTP methods are just strings when the request is received. There is some beauty in that in matches the prefix of the first line of an HTTP packet
hyperturtle··on Making a keyboard layout
You could go one step further and build your own keyboard to match your hands as well. I've watched several of these videos and planning on eventually building one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_VuXVErD6E&list=PLCZYyvXAdQ...
hyperturtle··on Bloom's 2 sigma problem
This is cool! I've had similar ideas, but when it comes to creating the curriculum it was always the time consuming part. If the graph was in something like a wiki, where people could contribute, add linkages, add new lessons, etc., and a system to automatically prune the graph to each student, there could be a globally sourced and maintained "school" for all human knowledge.
hyperturtle··on Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information
I find the lack of learning science and the state of teaching how to learning to be detrimental to our current society where people are required to know more and more. Knowledge that doctors, lawyers, even computer engineers keep increasing as time goes on, but the way we learn has never been scrutinized or emphasized and is mostly up to each person to deal with.
hyperturtle··on Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information
I would assume so, but I think the fact that its using more of your brain is the reason it works.
hyperturtle··on Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information
I mostly agree, learning efficiency is not directly tied to the method, but how the brain processes it over time and may even require multiple methods to sufficiently learn something. I wouldn't be surprised if emotions or feeling frustrated while trying to learn hampers it as well.
hyperturtle··on Apple, Google ban location tracking in apps using their contact-tracing system
I think by design they're not meant to be associated with a single user. A hospital would publish all id's of users that have found positive with covid and each other individual user's themselves will see if they have been in contact recently with one since they have saved all id's they've seen recently
hyperturtle··on Wal-Mart Tells Workers: Don’t Download Labor Group’s Chat App
Not sure on how secure but this article says the app is "secure". This also goes into more detail on what they use the information for. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-14/group-enli...

hyperturtle··on Formance.js – Library for formatting and validating form fields
If I fill out the phone number all the way, then go back with the arrow keys and try to delete/change numbers, I get weird behavior
hyperturtle··on Meet the new Light Table
From what I can tell it looks like it's using the Chromium Embedded Framework

hyperturtle··on Sublime Text 2.0 Released
The only thing I found that was similar was holding down shift and drag selecting with the right mouse button.
hyperturtle··on Introducing Grunt
I had the same problem too and solved it by writing build rules for WAF(http://www.l-vu.com/2012/03/21/Using_waf_to_build_web_assets...)
hyperturtle··on Show HN: WR173
Sorry, about that. I initially hide everything, and use ajax/browserid to authenticate/show things depending on the status. Just altered it now to show the initial page at least, if you have js disabled.
hyperturtle··on Simple - An Obtvse clone written in Python
I'm making something like that at http://wr173.com/
hyperturtle··on HTML5 version of Clear iOS app
It's already on the author's github. https://github.com/yyx990803/HTML5-Clear
hyperturtle··on Why developing an HTML5 game is too damn risky
Maybe you can try to library for sound. SoundManager 2 does html5 sound and falls back to flash. http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/

Apparantly there are issues with looping (http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/demo/api/) but it points to (http://www.flickr.com/photos/schill/4499319436/) as a way to fix sound loops.

Regarding other technical problems: I've had that issue too with Chrome beta, using csstransforms caused my textboxes to be unclickable(but still tab-able). My solution was to downgrade to the normal Chrome version and hoped it'll be fixed by the time it hit stable.

hyperturtle··on What do you think of our signup process?
A couple of things

- No clear 'what to do' on the first page

- Not enough validation errors. I typed in something weird and it didn't present an error. Just a refresh of the page. Maybe a blinking of a field in some cases.

- Where there were validation errors, it doesn't provide feedback on the type of input is acceptable (password)

- Last page of the project creation, 3. Create tasks, there was no clear indication that those were text input fields.

hyperturtle··on Show HN: multimethod.js - a Clojure-inspired multimethod library for JavaScript
I like this very much. It's like a lightweight dispatcher/router/alternative to tons of switches/if & elses. And also that the source is very short and readable.
hyperturtle··on Kibi.js: a client-side web framework in 1,024 bytes
The whole app is contained in the source of http://kibi.herokuapp.com/

It looks like each page is defined inside a <script type='text/plain' data-kibi='{pathname:'',id:'',location:''}'></script>

Where data-kibi is metadata to specify when, with what data(jsonp) the content inside should be rendered?
