How in the hell can you expect advertisement in the 21st century to not reach minors? We might as well legislate that all minors must wear blindfolds at all times, or be blinded as…

Not who, but what: work.

Anecdotally, my cat definitely responds to his name being called. Often around feeding time

So how are you hedging?

Hey, can I connect with you 1-1 to discuss your post-grad work? I’ve been playing around with the idea of getting a graduate degree in linguistics, but with a CS-focus. Would love …

Can we stop calling everything a “black swan?” This would not be a black swan; nation states should be expected to have the ability to find a vulnerability in an application such a…

How else do you prove something using the halting problem other than a proof of contradiction?

The article doesn’t but I think OP’s point was that relying on knowledge / algorithms designed and provided by others would mean an immediate fail in a FAANG interview, but it’s ex…

I would argue that raising GDP indirectly allows easier access to clean water, food, solid housing, vaccines, etc. All of those things allow for better quality of life. Where I agr…

Still paywalled ;-;

I mean, it’s pretty cool. There’s that fact. But my guess it’s probably being drive to top due to the parallels to 2001. I’d imagine there’s a large Kubrick fanbase on HN, if not j…

> Brodersen, the survivor, was fortunate to get to Ketchikan’s PeaceHealth Medical Center when he did. He’d had a heart attack, and was suffering from hypothermia and cold-induced …

The toughest issue here, IMO, is being able to sign and authenticate a document without proprietary DRM. Been thinking about this a lot.

Why not?

Right here with you. I don’t even know when I’m supposed to go back into the office, but I definitely thought about taking out an AirBnB for a couple months in somewhere like Provo…

An HN-style shitpost. I like it.

Incredible. Where should I look for the undersea building off India? Gives me huge Atlantis vibes, haha.

Can you link me some sources to your claims? Super fascinated and I wanna read more!

Good Q. I think it’s a nuanced distinction. Helping too much can too often lead to a lack of empowerment, IMO. The idea that you can’t help yourself, so you must be led along by an…

100%. I disagree with the article in that there’s nothing inherently mysterious or “hard” (like the “hard” problem of consciousness) in the inner machinations of a smartphone. In t…
