This comments section is very oddly filled with people who don't actually understand the subject matter but want to sound smart, and then accomplish the opposite. Let go of your insecurities people, it's ok to not understand some things and be open about it. Everyone doesn't understand more things than they do.
- Maxatar 2y agoApart from one flagged comment I find the comments to be quite profound and interesting, we even have a cool visualization demo of the Riemann zeta function: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40571995#40576767 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40571995#40576767 Your comment is rather condescending and kind of feels like a form of projection rather than a meaningful contribution.
- greenthrow 2y agoThe comment you link is two hours newer than mine. I also didn't say it's only that type of comment. But when I commented, there were several comments that were just completely off base or bordering on nonsensical due to not understanding the subject. This is a toxic phenomenon that we don't really address, and I thought was interesting to highlight and also share a positive message to those afflicted by the malady of insecurity. You can choose to read in whatever you want, but that was (pretty obviously) my intent.
