True, still it fits me because I run most of the stuff on remote machines. But I this can be a problem indeed.

I have been using a laptop and a docking station for a while now. I think this is the optimal configuration. - no / very little noise - no need to synchronize between work / home (Given that I also have a docking station at home,

"Searching for a solution in a broad space" describes virtually every hard problem in computer science. For example optimization problems are everywhere. In planning or in machine learning, just to name a few. Having efficient w

Cool, I think more applications should be using solvers like this. What solver are you using? Is it solved server side?

Luck is generally involved in success. So maybe this is just regression toward the mean and hasn't that much to do with whoever is the CEO. In other words, every very successful company is bound to be less successful later. Nothing rea

Yes, good question. I think this is because nowadays, work is mostly a way to skew wealth distribution in your favor. Therefore people that can work more, do work more. That contributes to make them wealthier. The others, are unemployed.

HN is filtered. The main page is a list of article which have been selected and upvoted by small unrepresentative subset of the population. I agree that it's not personalized though.

"Autonomous" in the sense that it does not requires external power supply, rather than intelligent. I agree that the title is a bit missleading, but the rest of the article is clear about this: (e.g. when they say: “Fuel sources

Systematic bugs in self driving cars would be disastrous. So if you see a Tesla car crashing on days with white sky, you want to know whether this can happens to you as well.

I agree but the article has an answer to this. Since I don’t plan to run any DNA analysis or fintech simulations on my smartphone anytime soon, I am very satisfied having FP32/FP16 precision in mobile right now. And so should you.

Every nation has protectionism. Yes, that's my point. Not every one agrees with this and GGP's comment doesn't mention this fact. So pointing out examples [..] contributes little to the discussion. It adds examples of US

Interesting point, but to be fair China is not the only one to find ways to implement protectionism. The F35 program or even Nasa contracting SpaceX could be seen as examples of the US implementing some level of protectionism.

I'm not sure this logic makes any sense. Science is also very euro-centric, yet most of us here would argue that science is among the most objective disciplines out there.

It makes sense actually. The imaginary world in the matrix trilogy is inspired from the unix hacker folklore [1]. So if you're a hacker, it's not surprising that what's on your screen looks like what's on the screens in
