This is such a beautiful idea. Are there people developing this theory? How could this be experimentally verified? What are the philosophical/time-travel implications of the one-electron universe theory being true, distinct from class

I use jquery to inject an entry div, then load React from there. I looked into ipywidgets, but it looks like that can only render one widget per cell. Jupyter Comm channels are used for communication with the kernel. Jupyter is an incredibl

Thanks to the HN mods for letting me repost this. I'm very keen on hearing your thoughts on this tool and how I could make it better (especially if you do research in DNNs). I'll follow up soon with a more interesting LSTM layer v

I thought this was a wonderfully written account of Ada and Babbage's role in modern computing. It was delightful to see how someone from Victorian society would express the frustration of debugging: I am in much dismay at having got

It's interesting that their views on competition run counter to what YC / Peter Thiel advocate for in all startups - that is, avoiding competitive spaces and going for monopolies. Perhaps monopolies are necessary for huge growth a

It's not obvious to me that the militant feminists/race baiters/safe space people are sociopaths bent on willful dishonesty. I think it's reductive to assume they all have bad intentions. I disagree with many of their po

Meta: In the last few weeks I've noticed that articles about the recent college protests trending up on HN, only to be flagged and vanish. I'm struggling to understand why these articles should be flagged and removed, rather than

I liked how they put the entirety of the infographic text in the alt text - really shows that they care about accessibility! I would have definitely liked their thoughts on (2)-(5), and perhaps release some anonymized case studies from thei

Your username checks out, so take my upvote. That said, the debate has moved past centering on First Amendment Rights as the point of contention; rather, the issue is whether students should dress in "offensive" Halloween Costum

I'm a student at Brown University, and these issues have been at the front of campus-related tensions for the last 2 years (perhaps longer, but I wasn't aware of them then). Your post reflects the most vocal attitude on campus at

I share this link to neither condone nor condemn anybody, but rather to solicit thoughts from the HN community on the recent race-related protests at colleges in the US.

Scientific content aside, I really think the web is a far superior medium for delivering technical papers. It allows for videos and interactive data exploration. I wish more scientists would publish this way.

Your comment makes sense; indeed, fairness in selection process does not imply that people aren't being discriminated against. For instance, the SAT is fair, but denies those with less opportunities a chance to get into top-tier school

I think the psychological distance only partially explains the reversal in public sentiment from scorn to adoration. Obesity was never a serious problem in the communities I have lived in. The U.S's obesity epidemic is an abstract conc

Question for HN: what is your estimate on the minimum man/womanpower needed to scale a product/service up to 10K users? 1M? 900M? For instance, what fraction of Facebook's work is related to making things scale? How much effo

I find it interesting that these hallucinations do not maintain a consistent 3D perspective: the images look really flat and any noticeable three-dimensionality is localized to a small part of the image. Intuitively, this makes some sense -
