You should grow faster by focusing less on implementation and more on your core business competence. In old school PHP share-nothing architecture you can just throw more servers at it and call it a day until you need to start scaling databa

What is supposed to happen with different types of chemical bonds? If half of a molecule is inside a black hole and half is outside, the half inside is necessarily constrained to the black hole, while a molecule outside does not have such c

Isn't it illegal in the EU? If they are renting the ebooks they must not mislead the customer with words like "buy an ebook". Some regulator should take them on that. Also, USA Supreme Court has no power in the EU. She bought

There is also problem of "defensive writing" as in writing that is not supposed to be understood. Math is very often used in this way - math is impressive, math gives vibe of rigor and formalism, math requires a lot of effort from

Indeed, my bad. Seems to be easy to confuse since the crater seems to have the same name "Vastitas Borealis Crater" [0]. Do you know if it's actually called "Vastitas Borealis Crater" or is it just simply a crater i

2000 km, so I guess somewhere around the size of India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vastitas_Borealis @edit - 2000km is the size of the whole region, crater is 35 km wide. See below.

I agree that causal inference certainly requires ability to interact with the environment. In do-calculus this follows basically from the definition of the "do" operator. As other people already mentioned, the "do" opera

It does lead to intelligence and knowledge of the world. It leads to somewhat similar understanding of the world as our understanding of 4D, quantum mechanics or environment close to a black hole. Pretty bad one, mostly based on repeating w

Understanding of causality is very likely an emergent property. While extremely important, it's unlikely that we have some hard-coded low level architecture of causal inference in brains. It probably will just arise as a necessity of g

That proves that you are not GPT-3, but you could still be a Chinese room. You may be even a biological human and I still won't know if you are a Chinese room. Maybe since birth you are just sort of sleepwalking? I wouldn't be sur

The article completely failed to convince me on it's main point. No regulation will fix the fact that people have limited attention, besides banning ads altogether. Google does a lot of bad stuff, but auctioning ads is not one of them.

Hackernews is not really a platform for building a brand. We have no tools to follow specific people. I don't even care that much if you are the original person I was replaying to or not ;) . We are all random strangers to each other.

Does hackernews act like publisher and doesn't want the responsibilities that come with it? Yes - they do act like publisher. There is even editorial guide called "guidelines". They will remove things they don't want. h
