These companies are selling subscriptions for what is basically AGI, yet you think they should have the same valuation as Crocs (yes, the footwear company) ?

If the goal is just to buy and hold, then you wouldn't use perps, not only because of counterparty risk but also because the funding rate is typically positive, meaning you pay (us…

Feels like a Temu version of Ramanujan's constant [0]. [0] https://mathworld.wolfram.com/RamanujanConstant.html

But formalization is the easy part for humans. I'm sure every mathematician would be be happy if the only thing required to prove a result was to formalize it in Lean and feed it t…

Crypto allows irreversible transfers, but traditional reversible transfers are also possible on smart contract chains, although definitely not the norm. The real bug is that irreve…

Didn't think I'd see a "I've got nothing to hide" argument on HN. Are you also against E2E messaging apps for the same reason? Being able to anonymously transfer value should be a …
