   Yeah. If a 16 year old gets an internship at a soulless tech/advertising company, HN will cheer and celebrate. But if a 16 year old frames a house, it's [flagged] [dead].

   I'm with you. Zume would have had a better chance if they refunded $440 million of that investment money, then spent the last $10 million to buy a few trucks and hire human beings to make the pizzas.

    I'm always happy to see a speedrunner decompile the game they're running. I've always thought it was an underappreciated part of understanding a game. But I wish companies would just release their games' original source

    That's really overpriced. According to OpenAI's tokenizer[1], a litre of oil is only 5 tokens, so it should only cost $0.0003. [1]: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

    My intuition tells me the opposite. Suppose you have one undecidable statement, U, out of s possible statements. A random program of length n contains U at least once with probability 1-(1-1/s)^n. If the program is of infinite length,
