This is hacker news. Hacker ethos is rooted in the intellectual challenge of overcoming software systems and electronic hardware. It's the same ethos that stole long distance phone minutes, traded warez, and got free satellite channels

I think its worth noting the study did not actually make this claim, the news article did. I suspect the study authors would agree the term "language brain" or "math brain" is misleading.

Agreed, "all" is an unfair word. Thanks. It's more accurate to say the majority of it is returned to the atmosphere. Less than 1% of burned fuel typically becomes organic carbon, but also not all of the biomass exposed will a

A common structure would be something like: * Class A - voting shares, founders / controlling parties, etc. Typically small fixed share count (e.g. 100), not issued dividends directly but used to represent percent of controlling intere

It takes a long time to reach that equilibrium and something can disrupt it along the way. Inevitably what happens is, as the amount of dead wood increases, so does the fire risk, and when it burns its all returned to the atmosphere. This i

Not every company is a unicorn. For bootstrapped companies that might never sell, multiple classes of stock can be extremely useful for a variety of legitimate accounting and dividend purposes. One of the local law firm's company setup

I agree. It should seem obvious that chain-of-thought does not actually represent a model's "thinking" when you look at it as an implementation detail, but given the misleading UX used for "thinking" it also shouldn

Let's please avoid ad hominem here. I don't think that's contributing to the discussion in the spirit of HN.

I think you could make a reasonable argument that their actions aren't actually effective at implementing their mission. I'm not really in a position to judge that, personally. I was just saying I don't think it requires any

I'm just an outsider here but it seems very obvious to me that someone could both 1) support the (stated) mission of saving taxpayers' money and reducing the US national debt, and 2) disagree with a specific cut

This sounds like something that works until it doesn't, and then you have this massive codebase you're responsible for that doesn't work, and you don't understand why or know whether it can even be fixed.

Ha, thanks! I was wondering where that post had gone as it wasn't showing in my replies. I imagine it was a confusing statement on a post about yahoo pipes.

Why can't we just `await` the lock call? Edit: Nevermind, release of the lock is automatic when the callback resolves its promise. I get it now.

I think you both are right in a way and what is maybe relevant is the duration. If someone lives full time permanently in another country working remotely, they probably are already actually a tax resident of that country and would typicall

By easier I was referring to intensity, rather than the experience of your ligaments. Presumably now that you've gotten into powerlifting you don't still lift the same weight you did when you started. If you did, it would indeed b

Thanks, this is what I was trying to articulate with my original comment. I've never heard of a runner who gets a little faster and decides "oh ok, I'll just take it easier now". You don't get fitter by training wit

by chrisfosterelli 2y ago
The majority of people who run do not set their intensity by measuring the weight on their knees. If you take someone with a fixed fitness and reduce their mass, they will expend less energy per unit of time, but in order to effectively tra

Yes, I agree. I mentally consider "running" to include "walking, if that's the speed you should be at for your target intensity". I do a lot of walking on my runs even still :)
