Both I think. Weapons manufacturers are the obvious one. But more importantly IMO is that there are a couple of tech units in the army (look up 8200 for example) whose graduates start a lot of startups (frequently skipping university). Some

The least of our worries at the moment... but honestly, the Israeli tech sector is highly intertwined with the army, so I doubt this will damage it in the long run.

No, I don't think that is a reasonable take at all. 1. This is warfare, not civil law. Hamas, which is the sovereign in Gaza (there has been no Israeli military presence there for years), commited an act of war in which hundreds were k

One thing that I was curious about, if I may ask, is how does Figma goes about font rendering?

Furthermore, how do the severity of the accidents compare?

Huh, funny to see this here as I just finished my msc thesis on the subject ( http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~mirela/publications/ioq.pdf ) We basically proved that the trivial connections approach is equivalent to so

I'm very surprised by this. What about WhatsApp and other messaging apps?

Isn't it the other way around? You start out with assumptions and a model (which usually involves some math), and then you show that you've made the correct assumptions by empirically testing it. You can't prove something in

I asked a similar question a while back specifically for art related topics ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=625854 ). I remember having this feeling that I found some "secret" community when I first discovere

That's interesting, I always thought that the graphical explanation was elaborate and confusing since a NN is just a bunch of matrices with non-linearities inbetween. To each his own I guess. I definitely agree though that it's mo

I'm soon finishing college and was just thinking about this. There are a couple of things that I want to try: 1. Re-summarize all (or at least the hard parts) of my notes, 2. Anki, 3. Work on a project that combines concepts from diffe

Back in school I had two friends who programmed a snake game in c, using asci characters for the snake. This was while we were taking an introductory programming class.
