Not much since it’s moderated to the point of being a boring headline aggregator, with a heavily biased, toxic community of vain Americans ignoring anything outside the HN RDF May as well disable comments and treat it like a user updated RSS feed, discuss links elsewhere.

  Only long enough to disperse a particular mind virus. STEM degrees and 20+ years in Eng; hardware then software This community isn’t really peddling anything that hasn’t been done before; just like the story mode politics and economics often complained about What’s that? You have a new state manager or a machine and some math euphemisms that translate cleanly to other math objects known for a century? WOW! …There’s no beating physics and it doesn’t care humans exist. No matter how much symbolism we write down to represent it, it’s not imbuing us with magic powers. We just meat suits like everyone else. Get over yourselves; this a momentary social bubble that will vanish like all the ones they say came before Really look forward to ML generation of new math built on the same old axioms so we can light a bunch of PhDs hanging on walls on fire

    Bruh... it's Friday. And this is a post about social media participation. Not your existential waxing. You don't see any irony whatsoever in what you're spouting?

        Where? Definitely nowhere in the Western Hemisphere (excepting Chukotka and whatever else is floating out in the Pacific west of the IDL), and in maybe only half of the Eastern Hemisphere as of this very moment. And that's 'ugh' in English. ;)

  That doesn't actually refute any of the points in the comment you are replying to.

Yeah but I tried a Linux laptop for a week and just couldn’t make it work, Apple products are the best.
