• [GUIDE] How to add a pomodoro timer and your active spotlfy listening to your study stream.

  I've been spending the last couple months in a study stream (https://studystream.live) with hundreds of other keen students, and thought it would be a cool idea to get a pomodoro timer working on my stream so others could follow along with me. I spent a couple hours coding up a prototype and got it working. Within a couple hours I would get 20-30 pins and countless DM's of asking how I did it. I've decided to... Source: about 1 year ago

• Never ask a candidate to rate themselves out of 10

  We used to ask people to rank themselves on the page-jones scale of expertise (detailed here https://medium.com/@helen.taner.nc/how-to-estimate-your-software-engineering-expertise-67e6ba9a6d9f) Generally, people who ranked themselves as Masters were subject to the dunning Kruger effect (and/or arrogance). - Source: Hacker News / about 5 hours ago

• Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Geometric Perspective

  Usually when people are saying "LLMs can't reason" they are claiming they are unable to do logical inference (although the claims are often quite hard to pin down to something specific). Yes, an 8080 is capable of reasoning. Prolog runs well, see for example: https://medium.com/@kenichisasagawa/exploring-the-wonders-of-prolog-my-journey-from-the-1980s-31b4df592ef8. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Geometric Perspective

  > LLMs by design are not capable of reason. This isn't true. A deep neural network certainly can emulate the logical functions we think of as "reasoning" (ie, AND/OR/XOR functions). See for example: https://cprimozic.net/blog/boolean-logic-with-neural-networks/ https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~axgao/cs486686_f21/lecture_notes/Lecture_08_on_Neural_Networks_1.pdf... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

  JSX without React is also kind of fun: https://medium.com/@victor.dramba/can-you-do-jsx-without-react-88fb26b4e349 and it's working example at: https://github.com/dvictor/jsx-no-react/blob/master/index.ts.... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Oldest cave art found showing humans and pig

  Fortunately, Yonatan (who was in fact the main engineer working on Google+) reposted it to Medium: https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/how-the-price-of-paint-is-set-in-the-hearts-of-dying-stars-c33e520186a8 After he wrote it I pointed out most historical barns in many parts of the US are white, using whitewash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash) which doesn't really change the conclusion of the article, which... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago
