Not everyone lives in insane car filled wastelands. Aerial pictures of lots of American cities are truly abhorrent, vast concrete and asphalt wastelands purely for car parking. The American system and people definitely need car shaming. I d

Yes. But that’s because the right has become synonymous with, or at least tacitly supports, insane racists, fascists, bigots and more unpleasant adjectives. You can be pedantic about our wording and try and slide the issue but the data is t

I stopped after reading the use of a nebulous “they” scare quote which lets the reader fill in whoever “they” are, and which is basically a right wing dogwhistle. Consider for example a recent analysis of a certain right wing talk show. I t

This thread: HN tries to decide if slurping up mindless insipid Paul Graham blogspam drivel and then posting rambling blogs and comments about self fulfilment is actually fulfilling.

Why does something have to be portrayed as spooky and magical. If it works it works, then it’s our job to explain clearly why. That quote seems strange. I have not seen the explanation in terms of Hopf algebras but if the translation makes

I feel differentiable programming is not really there. I understand the specific case of numerical functions, it may make sense if you just want to tweak some parameters a bit like a nn, or for example in quantum diff programming people see

Every other country in the world can embrace efficient clean public transport, and then America can be a theocratic car filled wasteland filled with dangerously unstable individuals, and completely decayed social structure.

Apart from the waffle the actual news [0] was that some people claim that they need complex quantum mechanics, quantum mechanics over C instead of just R. For some reason our universe might require complex structure. [0] https://

Why is the HN title “trashed” when the original article has “swarmed”? Jumping on a car isn’t trashing it.

It felt like basically all of them even 5 years ago. I can only imagine by now it’s a completely barren wasteland apart from a few scattered private survivors at this point.

I think you missed the point. Irc is basically a ghost town apart from random noise compared to other popular communication channels.

Lmao from reading the replies here, and from how many the article seems to apply to, I’m glad the average hn user doesn’t get to decide what the market likes >enormous laptops with hot swappable bezels and deprecated ports >small phon

Victim blaming? If you hit a bike while in a car you are a mindless zombie cager. The solution is to restrict car travel in cities. Inb4 wall of text replies about edge cases. Those are 100% obvious. Tradies, sick people needing transport b

What is that? Acting on an internal state? Aware you have an internal state and can adjust it internally? Why cant some code do that?

Degenerated into waffle. There’s no reason to believe that humans are more than some chemistry running on squishy meat. It seems like it would be physically possible to emulate that with silicon and software. There’s are no concrete definit

Lmao at the unhinged comments so far > Turn everything into a transaction! > Make them pay! > Make them immediately do something for you in exchange! It makes me think no one in this thread has actual friends. Friendship is still m

If they come back at you with "I thought we were friends" they are not friends. Not every exchange has to be a transaction. As long as it evens out over the long term you are not being used.

Why does it have to be a test if you are friends lol?

Hacker news is filled with self obsessed tech bros who pretend they are "libertarian" but are actually just racists. Look at this entire thread about pedantic rambling about a single word. Blacklist -> blocklist is not censorsh

As a mathematician it is just a lot of fuzzy rambling, until they have the actual definition. I really don’t know what an average person is supposed to take away, you can end up in some feedback loop, lol okay. Communicating maths to a wide
