Looks like Rust is the "good" solution for all of these?

Those are examples of why it is so incredible. To have it in your notes application as seamlessly as Roam does it is a game changer for notes.

Right, this sentence made it unclear to me whether they only used the popularity features to compute past-performance, or whether they included past-performance in addition to othe…

Did I miss something or does this project include popularity measures as features ? In the section on dataset features, they include "popularity" (calculated by Spotify) as well as…

I would like to see more on the zeta distribution aspect of this, but it doesn't appear anywhere obvious in this repo.

I was just thinking that something similar to this would be really interesting for reading/peer-reviewing scientific papers. Scientific knowledge is built atop of claims made in pr…

Totally agree, this is just about employing affirmative action, how, and why. And yes, I get the criticism but I haven't heard anything convincing as of yet. The only baffling thin…

This blog post is good evidence of the quality of thought that exists on the political left, and revives my belief that the left will eventually win the misguided attacks on “polit…

Interesting! I figured the `as` in a `with` statement was handled uniquely, but I learned something new about Python today: x = open('filename') x.closed # False with x: print(x.re…

In my opinion, you're one of the most entertaining and approachable writers on mathematical topics like QC. How did you get good at writing?

This is really vague. Javascript is necessary for building rich web applications. What are the uninteresting problems you see as Javascript's main purpose?

I wouldn't have checked this out if I knew it would burn a Medium article access for me.

Normally I would agree with you completely, indeed AI is (very) far from perfect. However, I think we're hung up on the home property example. As Vitalik suggests, this proposal wo…

Recall there are two goals: - allocative efficiency (property belongs to whomever can derive most value from it) - investment efficiency (people have incentives to invest in proper…

I think the property/personal home example is hard to defend. Consider industrial property, such as a factory or warehouse. The most reasonable application of self-assessed tax wou…

Vitalik acknowledges your point: "... people are not experts at property valuation, and would have to spend a significant amount of time and mental effort figuring out what self-as…

Part of the introduction really reminds me of Nassim Taleb's Antifragile. "As artificial agents enter the human world, the demand that we be able to understand them is growing loud…

That's a great point, and the nature of the firm is something worth thinking about especially in this context. However, the "firm" structure creates lots of efficiencies. Individua…

Hopefully someone can expand on these comments since I'm not an expert, but I know a little. D-Wave [1] is shipping quantum computers with thousands of qubits. The difference seems…

Giving this a try! Thanks for the tip.

React is a conceptual framework which lays out how UIs are specified and how they behave (via the component model). Then when it comes to rendering the UI, the React framework allo…

I think what throwawaysocks is saying is that your refutation doesn't really add value to the discussion. I agree with you, that my clone's consciousness is not my own consciousnes…

This is incredibly clear and well-written. Great article!

And using npm scripts instead of gulp?

I agree with pretty much all that you're saying (I like the hosted scripts idea a lot). However, I can't help but wonder whether HN should care about all this. Does the lack of the…
