I remember doing this in one of my first programming courses, way too early to look at it with respect to any real-world usage. I wonder if it's still useful in combination with async/await.

Can you elaborate on this? This reads okay but it's at a higher level of abstraction and I don't know the specific phenomena to which it's referring.

I learned what a relation is, everything looks like it can be compared to other things. I learned what a function is, everything looks like a mapping between two sets. Wait...

So what else does this operator do? It’s not commutative. Does (x * y) * z still equal x * (y * z)?

If all you have is a function, everything starts to look like a mapping between two sets.

My account can’t downvote on HN. Some people say it gets unlocked after 500 karma, others say they can do it before then which makes me think a mod can activate it for an account. It was ironic and surprising to see all these high karma acc

You’ve got an old and wise account, but for me, hacker news is a place I can’t downvote.

Should? Previously you were expecting people to move. It’s complicated and involves someone’s entire life circumstances. There’s no catch-all function which only takes the parameter `airQuality` that people adhere to like machines. Famili

Are you suggesting people who currently have lives built up in Pittsburgh also leave instead of improving the situation?

That last one would make an excellent Onion article.

Thank you. “Conservativeness” is an inductive bias that is simple, often helpful, and more often used, but not fundamental.

Sean, where were your libraries a year ago ...? Having implemented the entire WebRTC spec a couple times now, what wisdoms have you learned that can be shared with us mortals? If you could write a protocol for the same use-case right now th

There's definitely something to it existing at scale, in the real world, but I mostly agree. I'd be interested to see what visuals can happen if the drones had additional props, like fog and directable light beams.

Does anyone know what kind of tech is used for this and the original content? All radio frequency communication? What drones are used? How do the drones learn about one another's position mid-flight? Looks like Intel has an offering fr

Using the word "still" there is uncalibrated. 4 hours per month is barely anything. Imagine yourself trying to learn a real skill in that allocation of time. If anything, you may even be reducing your tech employees' "pr

Pushing this idea doesn't mean other problems in the space aren't being thought about.

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing. Are there functions which would map space to relatively smaller regions that could give us a different perspective on our universe? For instance, what would a starmap look like with each region o

Whimsical might be helpful, though you can’t do the special UML arrows on there. https://whimsical.com/

Right? Maybe that assumption is wrong, but you at least have to address it when criticizing if you want to change minds.

What about all those with no bitcoin? I placed 20 $1 bills on the ground scattered right outside my house. They are out on the street, free and open air. Anyone can take them. In actuality, there will be a small, small minority of the world

You’re absolutely right, I’m not sure the other commenters know to which argument you’re referring. It’s ridiculous to think Bill Gates and Elon Musk are worried about AI because “we would stop at nothing to achieve our goals, AI must be th
