I mean, what else do you use to run things in the browser? Pouchdb. Hypercore (pear). It’s nice to be able to spin up JS versions of things and have them “just work” in the most widely deployed platform in the world. TensorflowJS was awesom

Because it integrates great with browsers and people know the language already for node.js and the packages in npm can work for both?

Wow. I used to correspond with Leslie Lamport years ago (about his Buridan's Principle papers, etc.) Today I went to his website and discovered a lot about TLA+ and PlusCal. He still maintains it: https://lamport.azurewebsit

I'll admit there were a few people doing the "HN thing" and saying "nothing really changed" when the Internet came out... but it was as a joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs-YpQj88ew&t=3m20s

What is it that makes some people on HN pop up to always respond to any issue with AI with a version of "it was always this way, the problem always existed, AI does nothing fundamentally new". When it's clear that huge leaps

Well, when the evidence can be faked, it becomes harder to claim it. You've seen the "post-truth" attitudes already from the right, after "fake news" of 2016 makes them regard everything from climate change to vacci

"Nothing has changed in that regard" really, nothing? Does anyone other than me notice this common tendency on HN: 1. Blockhain use case mentioned? Someone must say "blockchain doesn't solve any problems" no matter

I have to say, this really resonates with me. I walked away from a full time job making $180K a year for 2 hours a day because the consulting company renting out my time wanted me to put 8 hours. I felt like I was helping them somehow fleec

Literally this. The education system is lazy and tests people only every 30 days, with a test or midterm. This is the system's fault. Quiz every day. Catch where people are struggling, early. The quiz can be on their phones and let you

So just have test centers, and flip the classroom.

There you go. Actually that would be a great service, wouldn't it? Having them explain to an LLM what they are doing, out loud, while doing it, online. On a site that you trust to host it.

The industry has middlemen Crypto removes middlemen Then you just have auctions and tickets are not transferable. No middlemen. Simple and honest price discovery.
