While I agree with the statements in your answer, they are not the whole story. If the complete answer to "How to find what I am good at?" would be "You are a malleable ball of clay", then what? Go for whatever seems tem

343,000 cars this quarter. That means over the last 12 months, Tesla delivered 1.2M cars. Looking at the trailing 12 months for every Q3 in Tesla's history, the story so far nicely resembles an exponential growth curve.

Yay, the two-click solution is awesome! That is what I like about HN! You post a one-line-of-code solution for something and someone comes up with a way to get rid of even that one line! I put that info in the repo now.

I prefer bookmarklets for a few reasons: Compatibility: Bookmarklets work on all devices. Deskop, iOS and Android. Security: I can easily read and understand the code. They only run when I invoke them. While extensions have access to everyt

That everything is so empty is the aspect of the universe that I find most surprising. This also holds for small things like atoms. They are mostly empty space, too. And for bigger things like galaxies. Most other aspects seem to be "g

Sounds like a fun weekend project to replicate it? The GitHub search API seems to provide everything that is needed. It returns 30 repos per query and allows 30 * 60 * 24 = 43200 queries per day. So one could track the top 43200 * 30 = 1296

There are two parts to this. One is the representation: Neural Net vs Program. The other is the search approach: Back propagation vs crossover and mutation. Your smoothness argument applies to the search approach. I would say "smooth&q

That is a genetic algorithm at work. With "genetic programming" I was referring to applying genetic algorithms to code. So that the result of the evolution is a program that performs well doing a task like driving a car. Nice rese

It's interesting to see to what extent matrix multiplication and backpropagation are dominating the AI space these days. I wouldn't be surprised if other approaches like genetic programming will make a comeback one day. If there a

Every article about the EUR/USD ratio talks about gas prices. But the current rise of the Dollar started 15 years ago. Over these 15 years, it has become more and more apparent, that software is eating the world. And the US keeps exten

In my experience, the best founders who show up here on HN are product driven people who are eager to show their idea and prototype. Here are some off the top of my head: Brian Armstrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id

That only gives you the urls though. You lose the names, the folder structure, the order and the keywords. The HTML format FireFox can create is so nice, that for now I am willing to manually book them up to get that. Until someone can come

Yes, I wrote it. The {} prevents the code from evaluating to a value that the browser then would use as the new value for the DOM, overwriting the existing page. Try bookmarking javascript:123 and see what happens when you click it. Bookmar

It is all one line. Yes, Twitter formats it in a way that makes it impossible to copy just the text. Because it thinks that .style is a toplevel domain and #ccc is a hashtag. Here is a repo from which it is easy to copy: https://
