Yes I understand that, but if that is what is meant I find the wording to be somewhat strange. They mention not being able to find a "feasible mapping from software to hardware", a…

"However, the manifold of architecture search generally contains many points for which there is no feasible mapping from software to hardware." I'm having some trouble understandin…

I think you might want to look at something like Solid[0]. It resembles your idea, but is more general. People host their data in a personal data store (a pod, which can be either …

The network seems exciting but it definitely needs a less confusing explanation. Or at least an explanation that does not require prior knowledge of (what seem like) niche concepts…

Great stuff. Well witten notes with clear and extensive examples. I actually used this just a few months ago to pass my calculus exam. Feel like I learnt a lot more than from my ov…

That's actually an NP-complete problem, called the Dominating Set problem[0]. One application of this problem is used in OLSR[1], a routing protocol used in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks …

That already happens, that's what Wikidata does. [0] [0] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:RDF

It does remind me of the Real World repository [0]. It is basically a Medium clone implemented in tons of different frontend and backend frameworks. Probably not exactly what you w…

From the guidelines on what to submit to HN: "If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." This does not fit t…

Turns out, I really didn't think this through. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, but nowhere is it implied that it is because of something inherent to coffee. It probably could have been another delicious drink, like hot chocolate. That doesn't diminish th…

Naively, it seems to me that as long as the profit you get out of mining scales linearly with the amount of money you put in, the richest player will eventually control all of the …

Not sure if you meant it that way, but this comment comes across as very bitter.

That's odd. When you scroll past the article the URL is rewritten to just https://www.asiaone.com . I wonder what would be the benefit of that.

Okay. But who gets to define what constitutes a criminal?

I'm not sure what you mean by "You can't off-load error-correction". In the case of classical computing, we do off-load error-correction (I don't have to worry about bit flips whil…

> Exactly. I don't know why Haskell fanboys insist on abstracting us so far from the machine. I believe it is because abstractions are the way we have always made progress. Is the …

Even though it isn't without controversy, Brave browser has this exact feature through use of its BAT token [1]. Basically, you earn BAT either by directly depositing money into yo…

> 2.) Back when I used Dropbox for syncing, it couldn't sync a folder containing a symlink, but this may no longer be true. From the first paragraph: "As of mid-2019, Dropbox no lo…

What a magnificent accent.

Also from Belgium, but a whole lot younger. This still happens.
