I like the "Copy successful traders if you don't know technical analysis." feature. I've always wanted that as an option for stuff like this.

Could you give a sense about what the interesting problems there are? I get the sense (knowing nothing) that it's maybe similar to ML in the sense that only a few top research labs does all the fun stuff. The internet in the 90s had to

Would be interesting if you could make this work similar to SolarCity. If own any plot of land, some company will give you a robot for free that will take care of planting seeds and harvesting the crops, and it'll pay for itself over t

Unions and safety. Quality of life and less risk for the workers which china et al has less of. Not a difficult question but this topic keeps coming up as some sort of indirect nudge to corrode those two components under the guise of an arg

It would be funny if some site with youtube-style recommendations got popular because that's basically what I believe google is using under the hood already and it would be so easy for them to pivot to that style and then take over all

I tend to just make a habit of memorizing commands that I repeatedly use. That or I make a script to automate it if I find myself repeating the same action.

This is kinda silly because I bet they could've made burgers with a robot long ago (mass produced and shipped in) and just heated it up from a frozen stage when you order. Part of me suspects the whole 'combining the meat with the

Personally I really hope they don't add this. Imagine how annoying to have to decline a "please turn on notifications" on every news site on your phone (which you're spammed with on desktop).

I just find pfps visually distracting and enjoy HNs stance as one of the few remaining sites keeping an old school look. I feel like it would affect the tone of the site and negatively affect the quality of the conversation.

I'm gonna go ahead and vote no on this.

This argument doesn't really hold up if you look at e.g. the year 1999 compared to pretty much any year in say the last decade. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/40538583 . Choose any year and pick t

My take is slightly different than what I'm reading here. I think movies is somewhat similar to engineering in a way. There's a ton of brainpower and talent actually required to come up with innovative and striking stories and scr

We still call it Google instead of Alphabet, brands are sticky (by design).

I would be more worried about my kids becoming addicted to youtube from this (at such an early age).

This is something I feel like we're going to have to realize more and more in society over the next decades. That a lot of people simply have genetic cheats that others are missing. At the moment we kind of pretend it's nurture to

I would suggest getting a colab pro account. If you only use it for a month that's only $10 but it's plenty for training lots of these models (maybe 1-3 days per dataset depending on resolution and dataset diversity). https:&#x2F

I've started to think that the plausibility of recovering a lot of the digital data we're creating in the case of a nuclear winter might be really low. Imagine walking a wasteland of abandoned computers in a fallout-style land. Th

Really gorgeous visualization! (Took me a bit to realize you could scroll out and rotate it.)

Many already do. If they don't want to, why force them, job seekers can just choose to avoid places like that if they value transparency.

To me it's a sign of a lack of confidence in that long-term evaluation and is probably a sign they don't have the right risk attitude to be in the startup game to begin with.

I believe in some cases (e.g. instagram) the user agreement you sign when using the site makes your copyright over e.g. the pictures you upload be handed over to the site owners (again, to prevent competition). Just to point out that the co

Well I don't think importing tweets and displaying them is allowed by their ToS for instance (even though some apps do), nor instagram pics.

I wonder if there's a way to cheat it by like giving a raise within like 3 months for high performance talents.

Are goodreads imports allowed? Isn't that kind of data sometimes against terms of service (for obvious anti-competitive reasons)?

I would say every year of quality experience a person has is equivalent to X mg of caffeine so at Torvalds level he might not have been above a normal level.

I learned the other day that Bertrand Russell mentioned in his memoirs that almost all his time during the war was pleasantly spent in his house somewhere. Made me realize that war is kind of localized and isn't necessarily 'the e

This is why I don't care about following any 'supply chain' worries the tech community is for some reason worried about. It'll undershoot, it'll overshoot, it'll balance itself out eventually and my interaction

Huh? You were using megaupload for legitimate reasons? I would counter that I don't recall any instance of using it for non illegal downloads.
