    When I copy/paste some text I wrote online, even short, it's full of alerts. Maybe I write exactly like a LLM in English? It's not my native tongue, maybe that's why. Otherwise, al…

    Ha, I misunderstood your comment: in my own language these two words without more context have a very different connotation. Also, I don't think I was aggressive?

    As you've probably guessed, I don't live in the US, so the price are drastically different. I live in the EU. And for my case, I love in really small flat for some years, so the re…

    I don't have any hard evidence, no. Instinctively, if we suppose all the newbies freelancers without any reputation start with the same lowest rate possible to be competitive, pass…

    I've seen those comments about $200/month and empty rooms here, so I suppose they mainly come from the US, yes. So yes, you describe a situation that I feel like a lot of people he…

    Okay, I understand better. I interpreted your answer as "well, it's $200, everybody can afford it". Clearly a misunderstanding. Going back to the $20 plan, yes, I agree it's much m…

    First, I've assumed you were in the bubble I described, but that's not the case, so sorry bout that. Also, I think it's relevant to the conversation. You replied to someone who sai…

    I'm not sure I've correctly understood what you're implying. If it's that I'm not working, well, I'm employed. It it's that I'm not working enough to not have this money... Well, w…

    > The $200 per month subscription comes with a ton of usage. $200 dollars + VAT is half of my rent. I know HN is not a good place to rant on this subject, but I'm often flabbergast…

    To complete the TL;DR : the safe Rust code is at 97% the speed of the C code, if keeping manual vectorization.

    Ha, interesting! I don't have the control you have on my inner hearing. For a song I love, I can like sing along with my mouth shut, not only the voices, but also the instruments. …

    Wow, these questions are really interesting, I've never thought about it! For my favorite songs, I can recall it perfectly... But I don't hear it at all as if I was hearing it in r…

    I don't have an inner voice, it's just completely abstract thoughts. I "feel" the interrogation about a subject, just without words.

    I love L-Systems! Really simple concept and implementation, but a huge variety of results and extensions. In parallel of my studies, I created some years ago on the side an interac…

    I love easy effects! I have a crappy webcam/mic combo, and the noise reduction filter is very performant, the people I'm speaking to are really grateful about it

    I'm always happy to see L-Systems! I find them really awesome, the base principle is very simple: string rewriting. But the results can really be impressive for such a simple conce…

    There is a lot of evidence indicating that the megafauna extinction was principally due to the human hunters. Here is a very good (but long) Twitter thread by a biologist explainin…

    It's really heartwarming to have progress in this field of medicine! I feel anxious just imagining being unable to move my arms. But there's a catch: > Despite these achievements, …

    I can't help but to do a shameless plug: the author also have an article about L-Systems [0] which inspired me to create my own interactive generator [1]. There isn't a release yet…

    Yeah, that's the first solution that popped in my mind too. I think it needs just a special case at the beginning to check if the first paren is not a closing one. EDIT: yep, after…
