Yet in real life gifting, we expect reciprocity and have norms. (E.g., if little Johnny doesn't bring a present to Sally's birthday party, he never gets invited back.) Asymmetrical gifting is only acceptable with a power imbalance

I don't know anything about Wolfram's theory, but one general way to address this is to compare the Akaike information criterion (or similar measures). The metrics attempt to balance the ability of a model to fit data with the num

Here's a falsehood list about falsehood lists : 1. I'll never need to learn a falsehood list, so I can skip it. 2. A falsehood list is complete at the time of writing. 3. OK, but it will surely get updated with new falsehoods and

In an era when RFK Jr. is spouting similar nonsense from the highest levels of government and doing tremendous damage to people's health, refraining from calling out cranks is not the higher virtue.

Looking at the overall contents of that repo, it looks like some rando just chose Github over Dropbox to store their notes. Not sure why HN should care.

As the former maintainer of Aleph, I'm very surprised you ran into a situation where http-kit was faster. Or do you mean it was just preferable to develop for?
