uonr··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
Both of Baudelaire’s criticisms were reasonable, and the same thing happened again when AI image generation showed up. You think the opponents look ridiculous because you’re viewing the history from the winner’s side. As for “the public,” people had a real demand for photography as a way to record things, which is also why it won. There is no comparable public demand for proving Fermat’s Last Theorem.

This looks like nothing more than a 300+ line Iosevka configuration

uonr··on Show HN: Infinite canvas notes in the non-Euclidean Poincaré disk
While developing poincake, I actually thought about building a language learning app using a similar approach. The idea was to map word embeddings onto a Poincaré disk so users could explore word relationships and clusters.

I'm thinking LOD might help mitigate the overlap issue, perhaps by having an LLM progressively shorten the text until it's a single Unicode character.

Also, as other comments suggested, shading or similar techniques could help.

That said, I doubt this can be fully resolved unless the text is rendered in hyperbolic space, as another commenter mentioned. I'll need to experiment and see if that's doable.

(I'm the dev) I tried it out on an iPad and it seems to work fine. Let me know if you run into any issues. Supporting direct stylus/Pencil input will definitely be a challenge, but I think it’s worth a shot.
uonr··on Let the agents democratize open source
DHH probably just reached for "ressentiment" because it sounds cool. I can't get over how ironic it is to put Nietzsche and democratize in the same post.

uonr··on 996
At least the recent popularity of the 996 originated in China, and I believe most Chinese people would agree with that. Besides, even if it started in Hong Kong, saying it originated in China is still technically correct.

uonr··on The dead need right to delete their data so they can't be AI-ified, lawyer says
Chinese companies offer to 'resurrect' deceased loved ones with AI avatars https://www.npr.org/2024/07/18/nx-s1-5040583/china-ai-artifi...
uonr··on CSS's problems are Tailwind's problems
I use tailwind because I'm fed up with inheritance.
uonr··on The average chess players of Bletchley Park and AI research in Britain
The Turing test isn't dead. The true Turing test is a thought experiment, and it's not something that can be replicated in the real world.

Given enough time and interaction, you can still spot a person on Discord being faked by an LLM—at the very least, something will feel off. This is even more true in a formal, knowing, adversarial setting.
