I live in the mountains 400 km away from any city. Can confirm it's pretty nice.

No. Google uses the dark forces of advertising and free products. Sun was trying to sell products.

When it's general purpose AI? I mean, economics in industry is already basically all ML... On the academic side there's a bunch of disciplines and rightfully so.

I'm a big fan of walking (or hiking). So much that I moved to a mountain town. For one, creative inspiration often comes to me while walking. Second, it beats sitting on a couch. If you need added stimulation, go with a walking part

You're so, so far behind it's not even funny. Economists have been using statistics, programming, deep learning, etc... for a while now.

And what's wrong with my logic? It's been demonstrated over the course of at least 6000 years of written record. We've always managed to come up with solutions to our problems.

There's always been social issues, wars, famines, etc... And yet somehow the world is better than it's ever been. Things will keep getting better...

Better than those that are highly moderated. HN has very light moderation versus Reddit which has pretty heavy-handed moderation and Subreddits quickly turn into echo chambers. And even there the best Subreddits are those that are least-mo

> Note the "eventually" here can be 10-50 years. Which leaves a lot of room for short term damage. Lol eventually in today's world is like a week... 50 years ago there was no internet at all.

Pretty sure those atrocities happened because of regimes that CENSORED the truth... Not because the Nazis and Khmer Rouge were free-speech advocates SMH. Edit - also the Khmer Rouge started off as guerilla fighters supported by foreign pow

Agreed. Musk's stated goal is to enable free speech. The less censorship the better. The truth always (eventually) rises to the top.

Godot (with GDScript). JS + a browser. C++ and an IDE like Gnome Builder or QtCreator. Ruby and Rails. Ruby and command line.

I mean, keep in mind milk = cheese as well. Cream. Yogurt. All the derivative products like infant formula. Tons of canned and dry goods.

> In some countries cow milk is even subsidized Because poor people consume it. Dairy products are also a replacement for meat if you're poor enough.

Because it costs them more. The fact that it's more ecological to produce doesn't translate to lower prices for many reasons.

I'm not the biggest spreadsheet fan but they do make data easy to understand for people who don't understand data or programming. You can have a visual representation of the data itself with the mathematical formulas and results

It's a public company so all the information should be there, due diligence isn't really a thing in this case. It's more the aspect that Twitter likely committed a financial crime, defrauding shareholders and the acquiring pa

Curious if Musk can sue them for a better price. This could get Twitter in some regulatory trouble...

Windows support (plus more compile options in general), different GC options, more options for parallelism, more libs (both standard + user), etc... Not necessarily 'lacking' if Nim didn't exist, but lacking in comparison. A

Honestly Nim is more mature, has more features, compiles quicker and is equally easy. Crystal has nice syntax but otherwise is lacking features.

It's from the Roman Era. From the conquest of Alexander onwards, Egypt was hellenized so calling the temple 'ancient' in the context of Egypt is misleading.

That's the norm in school for sure. Many kids take a degree for the perceived value on paper but are never truly into the subject, don't try much, etc... At Amazon are you with other interns or what? Or maybe your sense of perf

Buybacks and dividends are literally the way public markets are supposed to work. Raising capital without ever giving it back = a ponzi scheme. Anyhow buybacks are a way to give money back to investors while making each remaining share mor

Of course it does. Hard to be altruistic when you're figuring out your own survival. Anyone who says economics doesn't matter is wrong.
