Hi HN, I’m working on an open-source simulation platform called InfraSim. It lets users create companies, build out simulated infrastructure (servers, APIs, networking, blockchains…

I guess a good example is things like the physical characteristics of a line drawn by the stroke of a paint brush. You can often see they all align generally in the same direction,…

I mean depending on which side of the brain the tumour is, it could be relevant. Don't quote me on this (I'm not a doctor) but the right hemisphere controls the left side of the bo…

I mean it happens every day. When people have a lot to lose and not much left to gain, they tend to roll over a lot more easily. As far as what would motivate him: look at what's h…

Places that decriminalize drugs need to pour the money they saved on enforcement into health, social programmes and education. The positive effects of decriminalising anything aren…

I mean you might think AI can't currently affect humanity but it really does. A lot of people are now using AI to write code and to answer questions they probably should be asking …

According to several sources, GPT-4 is already doing this (It's called "Mixture of experts"). I agree though, it's still useful on an application level. You can build out even high…

Just before the point they built this, I was already chaining queries together to do this. I built a plugin system with bits of JS code that are eval'd and arguments injected. They…
