This is usually the sentiment of the top comment on HN whenever teaching children comes up. However, in this case, I don't really see the down side. They still get to do all the time things you mentioned, but they can also read. I find

From an outside perspective it looks like you are saying you know what is best but can't convince anybody of it? Is everyone around you incompetent or is it possible there are different priorities?

This is also how movie trailers work in general, they make multiple that emphasise different elements of the film for different audiences.

Ok but surely creativity and flexibility should contribute to performance in the long term otherwise what is the benefit?

Claude assumes a much more streamlined penguin: To calculate the terminal velocity of an average-sized penguin falling head first, we need to consider the balance between the force of gravity and the air resistance acting on the penguin. Th

That doesn't really answer this question though, you buy all kinds of other things for him. If you think it's unhealthy for children to have phones, is there a reason not to say that to him?

Not without chocolate, but less. It only needs to be enough to be legally called a chocolate bar.

I suspend my disbelief by thinking that it's quite possible they made different scientific discoveries than we did. Either different order of discovery, different constraints or things we still haven't figured out. That allows for

You can have that attitude internally without impacting your ability to do your job or grow. People in leadership leave companies all the time, there's no need to be tied to a particular one.

If you could take the shortest path to each point, it would solve the problem and be interesting. Not necessarily easy to do though.

I would be interested to see if the 'committed gamers' category from this model, which on mobile is 50/50 between genders holds for PC and console gaming. I would expect men to have higher average hours engaged in gaming and

So this map (Trimming the Herbs) wasn't the last to be cleared, and they have all been cleared now?

Why does the tracker say yes, 100% cleared after The Last Dance, if this level still remains? https://www.issmmbeatenyet.com/#stats

You don't have to be hungry to lose weight, nor is it about being uncomfortable. Counting calories teaches you which things are lower in calories and therefore can eat without feeling hungry while losing weight.

I think also interesting if you ask, what if the model consumed all information up to the point that a great discovery was made? If a model has all the information that Einstein had, could it determine that E = mc2?

You could argue this is dirty data, all the data should be entered in the same language or have a field that specifies language which allows you to translate. I don't think it's possible to solve the problem perfectly as presented

I hope this is in jest.

Well yes or there would be nothing to block.

This is a false analogy. Should states have borders like countries? Cities? Towns? Individuals streets? Reducing the argument down to 'we have to split the world into cells somehow' doesn't really progress the discussion of w

By what measure?

It still could have been the best decision at the time. Imagine you bet on a coin flip landing heads. After it's flipped and lands heads it's not useful to say you should have bet your net worth on it.

I don't know about you but every crowd I've ever known would be chanting down together until midnight and then cheering at the fireworks, not sure where the travesty would be.

Are the examples actually extremely common? What exactly is the caveat 'in the industry' limiting to? Engineers writing the code that is used to pay them? Why? Lawyers being easier to pay in USDC? Since when?

It's closer to 8ch I think. There is the blatant advertised gambling due to being stake owned and then their non-existent moderation of hate speech that has allowed streamers who want to be incredible edgy like Adin Ross to thrive.

They cannot. I doubt there are many mobs in the UK willing to shoot private security though.

This is just a way of making the purchase seem bigger than it is. In that 25 years if you took home 50k EUR annually you would earn 1,250,000 EUR. Reducing that to 1,247,000 for 25 years of value feels much less life changing. You also won&

It makes sense once you've read the article. Not everyday a person who has been through something so unusual and awful with multiple media interpretations gets released.

This is brought up every time percentiles are brought up on Hacker News. Based on this logic, do you think the law should be that 99.9% of everything is crap?
