Not doubting you, but any specific examples of him supporting monopoly? Or are you saying the general environment of high finance supports this? No doubt he had more money than he needed but if this is referring to his preference for coka-c

Those examples were simple, so it’s less of an issue, but if the words you use are so crazy that the reader has to read slower or has to stop to think about what you mean…then you aren’t making things more concise even if you are using less

Feel like this debate might be way different for novel writing vs every day writing. I’m biased because I am not a very good writer, but I can see why in a book you might want to hint at how someone walked up to someone else to illustrate a

Would current collapse make more than just Northern Europe colder? Or maybe they would be warmer? They seem to suggest only certain northern countries would be affected because warm water stops flowing from the south. So the southern waters

Sure and I’m sure there would be a huge shock, but simple economics would dictate that if that’s the true equilibrium of price for LLMs to be economical, then it would have to get to the price eventually

Fair point, I was incorrect on the exact stat. But it is still very very high for legal prescriptions in the article compared to general populous.

I don’t know if this is ridiculous, but I’m curious if access to LLMs will one day be priced like the Bloomberg Terminal or something. Where access for one user is like 20,000 dollars. Maybe less than that, but like 5k per person. Seems c

“non-addictive at prescribed doses” Less likely to be addictive, definitely not non-addictive. https://talbottcampus.com/resources/how-adderall-addiction-s... This has the same energy as the common incorrect statement

The winters will get worse but also it would cause a new ice age? Something seems off about saying these two things as if they mean the same thing.

Automation with code = time consuming because you must build the instructions but will execute correctly basically 100% of the time once written Automation with AI = less time consuming especially with elaborate rule sets, but it’s a probab

How does this work for dynamic casting? Say like if an age was submitted from a form? I assume it’s a runtime error or does the compiler force you to handle this?

Exactly, this is why if I walk down a street that looks sketchy and I get assaulted/robbed, it’s not a crime and no one can be charged! Any bad behavior should be legal if the victim should have realized the warning signs.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I only really know of Jane Street for OCaml, meanwhile FAANG all has at least some rust code. Also I would argue the rust compiler started as a hobby project

by mr_00ff00 1y ago
This is also somewhat backed up by the fact that OCaml (to my understanding) is basically GC Rust without a borrow checker, and yet it’s basically a hobby language.

So essentially, you learn to ignore thoughts? It seems hard to do because some thinking about old mistakes seems essential to not make new ones. Am I missing a key element? Curious as I think I dwell on the past too much and don’t focus on

I’m a bit confused on what sticky thinking is. Is it daydreaming about negative future outcomes based on a decision? (If I do this and it doesn’t work, everyone will laugh at me / partner will leave me) Or is it hyper focus on past bad

Slightly irrelevant, but love the color theme on the python code snippets. Wish I knew what it was.

This is a crazy process. Although I feel like I am a bit confused. When they say “reduced by lot” then mean by a lottery? By that same original boy or something else? They also talked about needing approval from electors, I assume that wa

If you only read HN, you would think C++ died years ago. As someone who worked in HFT, C++ is very much alive and new projects continue to be created in it simply because of the sheer of amount of experts in it. (For better or for worse)

I grew up in one of those small hometowns that sends a lot of people to the close by Ivy League school. It was an open secret that getting a learning disabilities diagnosis is a great SAT booster. Also makes you eligible for more time on r

Technically the US has never dropped nukes, those were atomic bombs. Second, don’t understand how the atomic bomb argument makes sense. Germany was developing them and would have used them if it got there first. Are you suggesting the US r
