I find it fascinating that pg's and patio11's writings are popular on HN at the same time. The contrast is fascinating not just in topics and writing-style but with the identification of engineers. The first guy gave engineers the

I was wondering the same lately. It is interesting to compare his tweets to pg's tweets which are the complete opposite: patio11's tweets feel like oddly specific and extremely hard to parse while pg's tweets seem very generi

I think they are used to that these fields progress relatively slowly. Also there are some things these systems already know that they though would come much later. Hofstadter even says this in the interview. In the 90s, early 2000s I also

The main problem is that pg does not even try to define what level of success he speaks about. I think he should be more clear and honest about it: Is it the one in a million great work he writes about, or is it the one in 100? These are en

by nadam 3y ago
The difference is that great work is achieved by 1 in one million people. Good work can be achieved by one in 1000 people, or one in 100 depending on your definition. You can adjust your definition of good work to your circumstances. The di

As I got older I have a very different take on pg's essays than when I was younger. When I was younger these essays motivated me, as I felt that these essays are written for me. PG seemingly addresses many of his essays to 'very a

"Choose an industry, pick a pain point" This is solid advice, but for me it is very hard. I always found finding pain-points in an industry as an outsider (not working in the industry day-to-day) very hard. (Living in a relatively

The problem with the advice: 'expand your comfort zone' is that while it is useful advice for most people, I think it is overdone in certain subcultures. (mostly intelligent people in competitive business fields). Lots of people a

>Why? Are you a gold investor? I am. There are lots of problems with gold: 2-3% inflation, hard to store, hard to transfer, hard to divide, hard to examine whether it is really gold. BTC has some advantages (and some disadvantages). Proo

I understand this. While you are right, there are some properties of these assets that can help us predict what could become a store of value: is it durable? is it easy to transfer? is it easy to censor? is it inflationary? also you can exa

Ok. In my opinion an algorithmic censor-resistant, deflationary value network is a useful potential technology that can give us potentially the best store-of-value known to mankind so far. Why isn't it meaningful to further research th

I was thinking about this a lot. I used to think that most HN users are very smart, but the crypto discussions here are extremely dumb full of misconceptions and hatred. For example yesterday there was an article upvoted and vehemently disc

As an Eastern Europian such practices really sadden me. Cannot this be hacked though? Could I somehow apply from a rich country and then spend 360 of 365 days in a year in a poor country?

I find the content-addressed, name-independent, immutable (kind of blockchainy) approach to source code very interesting. On the other hand this seems to be rather orthogonal to other (semantic) aspects of the language. I wonder what would

Hmmm, interesting. It is getting a bit philosophical: you can view it as a conflict. But you can also view it as: hm we have these nice 2 main functions. Let's create a merged one. Kind of what was previously conflict resolution become

For me it would be suprising only if the equation would be about real numbers only. Exponentiation of complex numbers is defined in a way that this is trivially true. Or at least this is my perception as a non math-expert. My approach to Eu

This tends to be true in case of consumer products and tend to be not true in case of professional products. Google search is simple, Google AdWords is not, and never was. You cannot create a professional 3D modeling software, photo editing
