Really nice, the speed is way better than e.g. Overleaf. Is there any way to divide the screen horizontally instead of vertically for use with widescreens? Did not find an option at first glance.

This! I can't believe ANY possible explanation (not even incompetency in this case) except direct or indirect bribery. Really sad to see more and more of theses cases where Non-Profits sell out (e.g. OpenAI), I wonder whether this is a

An interesting angle which is underreported in my view is who is responsible for extremely expensive new military aircrafts: (former) pilots, who are now High-Ranking officers. No pilot has any interest in giving up flying and switching to

I challenge anyone who downvote me to provide a sound reasoning why my position is wrong and how nuclear energy on a large scale is viable and more cost efficient than renewables (with storage/distribution costs factored in already!).

Virtually no land use, despite nobody wanting to live besides a nuclear reactor? My argument was that renewables can provide the same unlimited power (and the "constant" part can be done via batteries or other means, given suffic

You are the one being irrational here. Nuclear power is just way too expensive (when done safely at today's standards) and can't compete in any way with renewables, if you start to factor in all associated costs (e.g. insurance, w

Unpopular opinion here: I followed the outrage about Datacamp loosely on Twitter. At first I thought it was about an actual assault, but so far afaik the only thing publicly known is "uninvited contact", on a dancefloor and the vi

This is a huge problem. Prices and rents are left to "the market", but construction is not at all. Strong rent control should be introduced everywhere and ownership for investment reasons should be massively discouraged (e.g. by s

Wow - regardless of whether one agrees with RMS, alone the fact that this submission has been heavily flagged already (and will thus drop from the frontpage soon) tells you a lot about the power of Apple and their fans here. HN urgently nee

thanks for your reply, and I appreciate that you share your reasoning here. However, this still sounds incredibly entitled and arrogant to me. Nobody doubts that there are many very smart and capable people working for OpenAI. Are you reall

Wow. Screw non-profit, we want to get rich. Sorry guys, but before you were probably able to get talent which is not (primarily) motivated by money. Now you are just another AI startup. If the cap would be 2x, it could still make sense. Bu

I am somewhat disappointed that they stream only hand-picked replays. For a big, announced presentation, they should be at a stage to stream live games (like OpenAI did with Dota). However, apart from that great work by Deepmind and I am ex

This is a very hypocritical stance in my opinion. All medical research need patient data and every newly admitted medicine has to withstand rigourous (data-driven) testing and this did not change with new technology at all. Only 2 things ch

With this argument, you should be more upset about Apple. Google is missing out on the soon-to-be biggest ad market of the world - at least partially due to ethical standards. Apple does earn a significant part of its revenues in China and

I don't understand the uncommented downvotes here. OP is provocant to make his point which is a valid one. It IS pretty obvious that the raw, uncontrolled market is not increasing the quality of life for a majority of the population an
