I was most interested in the offline aspect of it, which I wouldn't know where to even start with if I were to fork. How do you parse and efficiently store large, unstructured information for arbitrary, unstructured queries?

Seconded. I tried to do this many years ago for my dissertation and failed, but this would be a dream of mine.

While working on an enterprise platform, one of its customers in the banking industry wanted to migrate from on-premises to running it on whatever cloud was popular at the time. The migration was long, tedious, and overly complicated in its

I'm fascinated that at a 175k employee company, two employees I know nothing about, in business areas or positions I know nothing about, could possibly use different tooling for their day to day duties. *Surely* at your place of work

I'm at Google and am not entirely sure what you are referring to, but I'd love to try it. Could you provide an internal codename I could search for? Or is it integrated somewhere in Cider (the name is public knowledge so I'm

473 comments, 0 mentions of Rafic Hariri or Hezbollah. HN, I really had higher expectations.

Very late to the discussion but I might be missing something; a majority of you are bashing this by saying "it's just a demo"/"games never end up looking like that": a) If this demo is runnable at real time fps

Sorry for not contributing to the discussion, just want to note that this is a very nicely worded reply. I usually stare in disbelief and am rude when confronted with this exact situation, so hats off to you.

What happens in the case where you have two properties, A and B that "work together"? For example disable A and visually the element stays the same, disable B and visually the element stays the same, but disable A and B and the el

I am not a philosophy grad nor is English my native language so I am sorry but I am not educated enough to continue this discussion. I agree with you that he could have been more specific, but I do not agree with > said life was great (I

surely this has got to be the edgiest comment on HN. > 'surely'? - how does one justify saying that? life is the superset of all possible experiences. If any element has a property (i.e. is deep) it will be contained within lif

Hey, could the readme provide a list of how far along this project got (i.e. material types, object imports, textures, optimizations for collisions)?

Very out of left field, but how does one start doing these kind of things? My background is in CS and math, and I could have come up with and built everything up to exporting the mesh into triangles, but would have needed months of google s

While I can see what you're saying, you also have to properly compute, on your end, a cost for a False Positive and a cost for a False Negative. In my opinion, in the case of security, I think a False Negative should weigh a lot, and t

I have those as well! Definitely more rare than my dumb days though. It's not so much the fact that I'm sharper, but life is just...rose-colored.

Ask HN: Do other people have days in which they're dumber than usual?

OP says "we couldn't find anyone with an urgent problem that they were willing to pay to solve" and "there was no market to capture". Wouldn't a counter example contradict those statements, regardless of the si

I don't think so, at least not for this case. I'm a sucker for slow burns in cinematography and books, but you can't just have no pace or structure and then say "yeah, these kids have no patience". My completely une

Palantir is successful as well, but no clue what the hateboner on HN for them is, since it never even gets mentioned in these threads.

wow, that sounds worthy of a re-read in english just for that. thanks! just in case there are other Romanians around, the best translation I've found is the one by Antoaneta Olteanu (from Corint).

A lot of friends that I respect and people on HN recommended "Master and margarita". I have only got back into reading ~4 years ago, so I haven't gone through all the great literature, but this felt different right after its

YMMV. I'm a big Hesse fan, and I tried reading The Glass Bead Game twice; couldn't get past 30-40% of it in either try, it was just too boring.

> the assumptions are well known field axioms. They form a good starting point. I gave Peano as an example. I don't mind the assumptions, as long as they're reasonable and presented before the proof. Another comment pointed me

Okay, I either didn't see it or that was added after my comment. Either way, that is exactly what I wanted.

I strongly dislike these kinds of articles/posts due to one reason: if you're going to prove such a fundamental thing, can you please provide the axioms that we start from? I.e. "we know" that a - a = 0, multiplication i

played with this for ~5 mins and it's insanely bad (maybe it "guessed" right 3/15 tries?) i.e. slightly better than random guesses, even with very clear handwriting :(
