You're right, of course. Unfortunately, however, we're all just actors in a giant, multi-player, iterated Prisoner's Dilemma here. If I decide not to pursue human-level automated speech generation, or I end up developing it

Huh. Today, a college kid without even any underlying knowledge of the math can train their own GPT-2-level language model as a semester project.

I've never heard of anybody complaining about Django per se having performance issues. When people say Django is "heavy weight," I tend to think of how it bundles a lot of stuff for you, which can make it easy to build an

Eh. "Blue" and "red" are not the same as "left" and "right." Both blue and red are neoliberal ( i.e. right wing) parties at their cores. There is no actual "left" in American politics to

It was both, really. HyperCard put the power of a GUI into your hands with simple metaphors and syntax. The language is English-like enough to feel easy to use, but not so much as to fool you into thinking it can do things it actually can

One thing I have learned after nearly a decade in the industry is that you should just never, ever, ever use `celery`. It's overly complicated to program with; the monitoring tools are not great; and the one guarantee you can make is

Any person who gains a sufficiently large audience implicitly turns into a performer. Lying about NW / income / expenses isn't cool, but you also shouldn't expect "Sam" to be as authentic as someone you know p

Just to continue the analogy, an employee's monetary down side is limited to the amount of their investment, which is $0, modulo ESPPs and such. Investors can be leveraged and end up losing a multiple > 1 of their initial investmen

Archive.is is only a pirate site to the extent that Google is. You are right, however, that submissions are supposed to be original sources.

Here's a serious way to identify if someone's left wing or right wing. Ask them this question: what's more important, human rights or property rights? If they answer that property rights are more important, or, especially

No, you're not. There is no "far left" in American politics. The Democrats are not a left wing party.

A browser engine is a compiler. Or, more properly, it's at least two compilers (HTML + CSS -- you can outsource JS to V8 or whatever).

Be careful. There is neither "ha" nor "ri" when it comes to HN guidelines. Other rule systems are similarly rigid. It's not always easy to tell the difference between those that are and those that are not, partic
