I don’t think this video is about hurting anybody. It’s about making sure that large companies can be held liable if they hurt somebody. This is about protecting people.

My intro to psychology classes was one of the most valuable classes I ever took, just with the way it systematically shattered my own notion of how much I could trust my own notion…

Anyone know what language is being used in the blogpost?

This is true, in that most of the scholarship builds up its proofs starting with the lambda calculus. But there are so many paradigms (Turing machines, SKI combinators, excel sprea…

“Sec. 2. The Gold Card. (a) The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, shall establish a “Gold Card” program aut…

Thank you for sharing, and sorry you had to go through that. I had a good friend go through a psychotic break and I spent a long time trying to understand what was going on in his …

GC compactions were indeed a problem for a number of systems. The trading systems in general had a policy of not allocating after startup. JS has a library, called "Zero" that prov…

Would love to see a pterosaur / bat version of this drone. Birds use one set of muscles to jump in the air and another to flap their wings, limiting how big they can get. That’s be…

I wish articles like this had more examples in them. In between “this thin wrapper adds no value but a lot of complexity”, and “this thin wrapper clarified the interface and demons…

The entangled particles don’t have any sort of an effect on the other. Changing one doesn’t change the other. You can think of it like the two particles were always a pair and you …

A huge +1 for automating all the things as a form of practice! I don’t even think that you have to (strictly speaking) end up saving time on a particular task for a lot of automati…

Hmmm… at first glance, this feels like I’d use it for the same sorts of things I’d use jq for, only easier to use but also way less powerful. Jq does have a little bit of a learnin…

Seems like HN broke the trailer on their site. Fortunately, it also lives on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CNBk1DK046k&pp=ygUMTmFldiB0cmF... Glad they aren’t shy about the…

That quote leapt out at me too. I think the reason it leapt out was because the rest of the article was so thoroughly objective, well reasoned, and rooted in historical precedence.…

Honestly, two rooks for a queen being a disadvantage is kind of a relief. I’ve always been taught the two rooks are better and who can argue with 5 + 5 > 9? But also, I’ve also los…

The problem with the simulation idea is one of compute. Accurately simulating the quantum interactions between 30 particles is beyond our best supercomputers [1]. Imagine what it w…

People sometimes have different standards of acceptable quality. It seems so much more likely that that’s what would be going on than some weird Machiavellian power play. If I aske…

This was a scientific study with quantitative measures that have clear operating definitions as spelled out in their methodology section. I have trouble imagining the quantitative …

It does seem like things are getting better, but certainly when I was growing up almost any behavior the slightest bit feminine in a male was called out as “gay”. The phrases “act …

Nothing online, I’m afraid. Most of the best classes I’ve taken were at my brick and mortar small liberal arts college and were not computer science. I’ve also taken plenty online …

I will second that heartily. Was one of the more mind expands courses I’ve ever taken.

Thanks for the work you did do! It’s out there, so whether you finish it, someone forks it, or it just serves as inspiration for another project, you’ve contributed.

Former Jane Streeter: yes, finance can pay very well. Of course there’s a lot of variance, but at least when I was there Jane Street made an effort to be the very highest in terms …

I don’t disagree with the maybe, because of course some bugs really aren’t that bad. But especially in the case of those architectural bugs, it is incredibly difficult to be confid…
