https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31012979 How about this one - China prioritises well-being over algorithms? China has positives as well as negatives. There are positive comments as well as negative on HN. If you look f

I’m not talking about the quality of the discussion. I was responding specifically to the point that the only things that get posted are around IP theft.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30624579 The above article recently posted to HN doesn’t fall clearly into “steals IP” or “can’t invent their own stuff”.

One way to avoid constraint name collisions is to include the base table and foreign table names and keys in the constraint name separated by underscores, at which point you don’t save much by using the constraint in a join.

I used to have issues with two different screens that needed different scaling but as of 20.04 it's mostly fine to use fractional scaling on one monitor and not the other. I've still had some issues with some applications not scal

The allegation is these companies are not competing with each other, they are working together. This includes working together to prevent competitors making their own devices. There are very limited alternatives if you want to avoid Google

If you’re not happy with Apple and Google behaving monopolistically “buy Google Pixel” doesn’t seem like a great solution. Nor does buy a phone running Google’s operating system feel like a great answer.

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking about, thank you. It still looks challenging but certainly more accessible than the original.

I think maybe Wikipedia is better here than Wolfram's site, it has entries for Ramanujan graphs and expander graphs for example. The paper does actually seem readable, especially at the beginning, but it's dense and long. Somewher

Just to be clear - I love the article and want more.

I agree in general, and Quanta is great, including this article. I do wonder if more could be done in this case, where the abstract ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.06853 ) has relatively simple terminology. I guess I'm

This is a great overview, but there is a big gap between the narrative style overview here and the technical details of the proof in the paper. The conclusion is in very vague terms ("far fewer integers"): Helfgott and Radziwiłł’

Yes it doesn't quite feel right, but the problem as posed also doesn't quite seem rigorous enough, leading to some of the confusion in the answers here with people saying it seems easy. Maybe two VMs, identical program loaded on b

Trying to make this a little more rigorous: You have two VMs, VM one has a program pre-loaded that takes an optional tuple (bool endGame, rgb agreed_color, string message) and emits a tuple in the same format. The message from the emitted t
