ernsheong··on Uber’s COO says it’s getting harder to justify money spent on tokenmaxxing
I’m genuinely curious why they don’t cap at $100/month Claude Max per employee. That would be sufficient for 80% of them.
ernsheong··on Ferrari Luce
Took OpenAI's money and is now designing cars, lol
ernsheong··on Jensen–Shannon Divergence
I thought Jensen Huang was getting a divorce :D

What is Cloudflare trying to be? Everything everywhere all at once?

Well let’s just finish and CLOSE them off. Delete all your subscriptions, boys.
ernsheong··on Lean proved this program correct; then I found a bug
Alan Turing already proved with the Halting Problem that reasoning about program correctness is not possible. But we still try.

Wikipedia: [1] Turing proved no algorithm exists that always correctly decides whether, for a given arbitrary program and input, the program halts when run with that input. The essence of Turing's proof is that any such algorithm can be made to produce contradictory output and therefore cannot be correct.

ernsheong··on JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware
A decent JSON formatter should really ship natively in the browser as well.
ernsheong··on Sam Altman may control our future – can he be trusted?
I bet Satya Nadella is regretting defending Altman now.
ernsheong··on Media scraper Gallery-dl is moving to Codeberg after receiving a DMCA notice
They can just file another DMCA against Codeberg, what am I missing here?
ernsheong··on Marriage over, €100k down; AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion
Just ChatGPT? Or are the rest also just as capable at delusioning users?
ernsheong··on False claims in a widely-cited paper
I'm very confused because there are 2 Andrews, the author in the blog post only states "Andrew", and by the list of Authors the author seems to be Andrew Gelman, but the slug in the first link is "aking", and then there is also Andrew King, lol.
ernsheong··on Yann LeCun raises $1B to build AI that understands the physical world
One wonders why this sort of research isn’t in academia but in startups instead.
ernsheong··on Google Workspace CLI
Archived in 3… 2… 1…
ernsheong··on Web Components: The Framework-Free Renaissance
I’m an early fan (Polymer, anyone?) but somehow the mindshare is just not there and trying to evangelize it to mainstream was too much. So now it just kinda there for people to slowly discover when they run into niche use cases.
ernsheong··on AI makes the easy part easier and the hard part harder

ernsheong··on Public Companies ranked by Market Cap
I added a shim. Can you try now?

Hey thanks. Yeah it is a bit too long because it comes from a data provider. I simply can't write a shortened summary for 30000 companies. But point taken.

The similar companies is purely industry segmentation, which can never be 100% correct. Different sites use different providers for segmentation and this is the best one I settled on.

Thanks for comment. It's the Rails default, will look into it. The latest Opera definitely supported, are you sure you can't upgrade?

ernsheong··on Amazon to close Book Depository online shop
sorry, I'm from Malaysia
ernsheong··on Amazon to close Book Depository online shop
I'm surprised but not surprised. Books get delivered 2-3 months later, if they ever get delivered at all. Need to contact support for replacement. End up preferring to pay the premium at local booksellers than buying from Book Depo. How do they even make money like this.
ernsheong··on Show HN: Pole Clock, a single 24h clock with multiple timezones
If you turn on midnight on top, then the minute hand becomes inverted and counter intuitive, need to fix?
ernsheong··on The struggles of building a feed reader
FWIW, I made https://readerize.com that doesn't rely on RSS. Freemium is coming soon, kindly bear with me. For now, signup/trial is free without needing a credit card.

If you don't agree with the philosophy, kindly move along, no need to downvote.

I hesitated for a long time too. One day I just decided to keep at it and launch.
