my own brand of yimbyism at least respects that. there's nothing wrong with quiet neighborhoods and loud neighborhoods. the sort of things i want to allow in neighborhoods like yours are locally-owned corner stores and cafes and wine b

on the one hand I can't imagine it will ever go fully to zero because then people will buy them just for fun, keeping the price at least a bit up. on the other hand there is a price where the network no longer has any incentive to oper

it's not "unfounded", mountains of people have observed it. That's the foundation.

every time these companies make a mistake and waste billions of dollars it is well-publicized. so there is plenty of data that they are frequently and preposterously wrong.

Lots of engineers are lapsed physicists who have hobbyist interest in this stuff. Also lots of HN readers are actual physicists or mathematicians. It's not all techies. Also, lots of engineers have at some point learned some computer g

The list of literary devices on Wikipedia is a tiny subset of the list of literary devices in reality. Although in this case it is a well-documented one: it's just a rhetorical question. anyway it is just a writing style. if you don&#x

i've seen it in NYC a few times. Pole dance is a fairly common fitness hobby. there are plenty of gyms/studios for it also.

That's the sorta standard socially accepted way of thinking about this. but uh... to a lot of people it doesn't ring quite true. For example: if your life objectively sucks, why aren't you doing anything about it? Some people

In this case we're debating whether one of the purposes of AI is to scan the elderly. Probably 'purpose' is not quite the right word, but the point would be: it is not the purpose of AI to not scam the elderly (or it woul

this doesn't really matter, but, normal english would be either "Why are people all (of) the sudden writing browsers with AI?" or (slightly less normal) "Why all (of) the sudden are people writing browsers with AI?"

by ajkjk 9mo ago
This is pretty much entirely false. Maybe you don't actually know or talk to any progressives? Or the ones you're around are very bizarre. Or maybe you're extrapolating from impressions you've gotten on Twitter?

by ajkjk 9mo ago
no doubt, but... also physics advanced in leaps and bounds every time someone figured out that ways of abstracting out a coordinate system.

by ajkjk 9mo ago
I kinda like viewing this as similar to coordinate-invariance in physics / geometry. A programming language is effectively a function from textual programs to behaviors; this serves the same role as a coordinate system on a space, whic
