The Weimar Republic didn't have a contracting money supply in that period

There is a bar on personal projects. Period. Period. Either you're misunderstanding logic, law or society. If Karparthy fails he runs a real risk of having his life very closely ex…

His job affects peoples lives. He certainly is human. I'm not criticising his project. I'm not saying he can't have personal hobbies. And I'm not the one that decides the bar. I'm …

That certainly depends on how much time off and what was done in that time.

Society has given Kaparty et al a lot of latitude to take liberties with other peoples lives. In my view this creates an obligation to do the best job humanly possible.

If they’re giving up on autopilot then fine. But if people’s lives are riding on the quality of the work then I think it sets a high bar for personal projects.

I’m no fan of ham fisted normalization.... but I think the bigger issue is the fairness aspect of thresholding based on class sizes. I think it should be possible to create ‘virtua…

Maintain 3 gigs simultaneously and drop the lowest paid one on occasion. Or devote fewer hours to it. Negotiation becomes, “sorry I can’t do more hours for you, someone else is pay…

I always wonder how much of the reduction in cleaning of glass can be attributed to better aerodynamics and better glass.

But it’s not poison it’s a virus. You’re less likely to catch it but if you catch it you get a complete dose.

The one thing I liked about MS was that it didn’t have a successful social media asset. This allowed it to stay generally apolitical and out of the fray. This will be the beginning…

I wonder if it’s inevitable that we will get denial of entry based facial recognition systems. It’s legally difficult to stop people from leaving the store whereas it’ll be much ea…

If rich people sold the assets they wouldn’t have them anymore. The mechanism is more that rich have access to lower interest rates. The proportional difference of interest rates b…

Repeated Bernoulli trials give rise to Gaussian distributions which is where the e exponential comes from. This an assumption and an approximation and is not necessarily a good fit…

I wonder if people are paying more in a patron or only fans way. Supporting it as an attack on their least favorite blue check mark. Also, I wonder if more of the value of the blac…

Demographics explains most of differences. Ghettoes, density, and culture seems to explain the rest.

My group of hard core ML friends went fully private. I don’t even pay attention to the public ML discourse (except on HN.) I think a big part of it is a low barrier to an internati…

The media tells us who to care about and by how much. I find the whole thing very irrational and very isolating. I’m quasi American and I have always hated the people who worked in…

Why was this flagged/dead? It seemed pretty solid to me.

That is rough. I was unaware of the heavy import taxes. But they’re the ones buying so they should pay the tax, expecting me to sell internationally tax inclusive was weird, and po…

Brazil is a corrupt highly taxed basket case. I know plenty of people who left. The govt there tried to buy some software from me and then tried to tax the international sale by %4…

Images got bigger... it’s not that it’s too expensive it’s just way more expensive that good enough alternatives. There are other reasons too but that’s a surprising one

It’s too compute intensive
