This seems weird to me. I would think the classic way to introduce these topics is to first talk about decidability, introduce the halting problem through that, then introduce complexity. That's certainly how I was introduced to this m

Am I misunderstanding, or are you blaming Zionism for the erosion of all constitutional safeguards? Including specifically the "war on terror"? That is dangerously close to blaming Jews for secretly controlling the world.

It is an API. It's an API standardization for LLMs to interact with outside tools.

I highly recommend watching Haviv Rettig Gur's talk about the differences between the Jews of the diaspora (he's mostly talking about the US), and Israeli Jews. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKoUC0m1U9E ) To sum

This is completely wrong. Chrome won initially because it was a much better browser in terms of user experience. I remember the original discussions around it, they innovated a bunch of features like processes-per-tab so if one tab crashed

I think this is just taking the common-on-HN refrain of "boostrap good, VC bad" and trying to apply it to everything. I don't particularly agree with the refrain in the first place, and definitely don't think it applies

Out of curiosity - how do you know they are paid trolls and not just people with those views on this issue? Personally, I don't use Reddit much, but this is definitely not the sense I get from seeing reading e.g. Twitter, in which ther

In what way is this a conspiracy theory or guilt by association? I don't think it is. (Except maybe the statement that he's an Israel citizen, though I think in this context it's a legit statement to make.) The parent post ex

The article doesn't even prove that anything is dirty. It's just carefully insinuating that these takedown requests are wrong, without actually showing any proof of this.

It's not a "regular" company, because it's still raising angel investment, presumably from the tech/startup ecosystem. A more common route for non-tech-startup companies is to get money via debt - in other words, bo

Yeah I think we agree; historically necessary, less clear if necessary now. My feeling as a not-very-in-the-loop person is that React is still the correct default choice nowadays, but it's complicated because of how entrenched it is -
