    This is an amazing achievement for someone of any age, but to publish a book with this much research at 18 is phenomenal. I heartily congratulate you. I've hopped through the book …

    One added benefit of knowing how to do this stuff is even when you hire it out, you typically get much better work out of contractors for a better price. If for no other reason tha…

    I think the project is a great idea. Really a structured framework around local, persistent memory with semantic search is the most important bit, IMO. (The SOUL feature already ex…

    Yeah, but how much did that actually change? I mean, the media sensationalized every little thing that happened, to make people feel as if the world was ending (or being saved, dep…

    I'm curious what the motivation was for linking this now. This repo hasn't been updated in two years. Meanwhile, there are at least five other Rust MPMC queues in use that have bee…

    Is this effected by Microsoft's patent on various rAns coding and decoding? If not, how does it avoid the (rather vague) claims? https://patents.google.com/patent/US11234023B2/en

    I'm a bit concerned that they don't mention a particular strain of B. Subtilis. There are hundreds of documented strains, and they don't all eat/produce the same things (at least n…

    I'm going to need to see success rating for each groundhog. How often do they correctly predict the weather? Also how often did their right or wrong predictions contradict the majo…

    To my untrained eyes, SQL did not appear to have things like windowing, hierarchical relationships, (trees, graphs) in mind when initially designing the language. Support for these…

    The U.S. factory farm system has killed 120+ million pigs and over 7 million sheep this year (hopefully not many monkeys). I am quite sure most of those pigs were subjected to tort…

    I don't think it was your intent, but your statement makes it seems like all Tesla engineers are looking at Twitter code. I bet this number is closer to 4. Tesla has ca. 1000 softw…
