>> If for all n we can prove P(n), then `∀n P(n)` should be an acceptable proposition > But how can you prove that P(n) for all n without induction? Just to be clear to all readers, the axiom of COUNTABLE choice is uncontroversial.

This is a wonderful comment, but also ... Is there a way to prevent future versions of the app from uploaded the locally saved data? Even if none if it was in the cloud to begin with? That's the route I would be most concerned about. A

Cannot emphasize this enough. If your psychologist’s records can be held for ransom, surely your ChatGPT queries will end up on the internet someday. Do search engine companies have this requirement as well? I remember back in the old days

This needs more detail to make it clear what you are wishing for that will not happen. It seems like you're thinking of a specific application, or at least use-case. Can you elaborate? Once you're launching an application, it seem

Instead of just disagreeing, I find I actually agree! At least with the premise of the I/O bound system. At some point I realized that linear writing (typing or writing on lined paper) does not have the flexibility to express the thoug

Four optional fields one for each potential context really strikes me as a code-smell / anti-pattern. Your application gets a new context and you add another field? There must be a better way to do this.

This post is almost vacuous. It explains quoting and then goes on to say: > I don’t understand LISP well enough to understand [...] Readers would be better off spending their time on a post with content. For example, Racket has a webserv

I disagree. "Parsing" is the first level of understanding. If you are not moving past the parsing level, you have not achieved any kind of mastery. My experience is that mastery means more like "you have a mental model which

To be clear, this is an article about COLLEGE students, the vast majority of whom are legal adults. It's not the same as first grade students being monitored by their teachers, regardless of what sibling commentors have to say.

The downvotes are probably because the GP post gives no details about the strategy being used, making it sound like any strategy could be successful if only you would take the winnings and leave instead of continuing to bet.

Variations in this system are in active use in the US as well. Do you feel it is effective? It seems to me that there is a massive asymmetry in the war here: proctoring services have tiny incentives to catch cheaters. Cheaters have massive

This is a shallow dismissal of an argument that should be given more consideration. Sure, this is HN, we know one of the effects of locking the ecosystem and coloring in-system messages differently is to encourage people to be in the ecosys
