Subsets of HN do understand this. Subsets of HN just want to know how long before they need to withdraw their savings, or sell their position. I would say growth is even expedited …

Pretty difficult when a lot of government people are in it looking for any opportunity to get into bed with private sector for their own individual gain, and when corporations have…

Couldn't you just have it charging on a time-regulated supply e.g. smart plug?

Do the lenders actually have the right to that collateral? What are the details in these private SPV deals? And is it collateral if it has yet to be built? (I'm asking because I wa…

If executives were at any risk of facing repercussions for their negligence, greed or outright villainy, I suspect fewer people would aspire to become one or remain one for very lo…

At a glance, Battle Programmer Shirase and Patlabor also seem to be absent.

Similar boat to you, but I already got out a couple of years ago in anticipation of the direction AI would take things. Honestly, I've never been happier — that might technically s…

I do not work in finance, perhaps someone here can tell me if I have the wrong impression on the situation here: Tech giants with AI interests, hyperscalers, have used "special pur…

Probably for insurance purposes.

Yes. To clarify, it's a useful model, but a model it is. One that makes reasonable assumptions about idealised and simplified conditions.

Books and traffic signs must be a struggle. Good luck, I guess.

A downside to the tech. You never really know if you made it because you enter another universe within. You make it to the next cycle, but within a new universe rather than the one…

You won't make it to the next iteration without wrapping yourself in a black hole and appearing as an anomaly to future observers.

Landed on Cousine in the end, which is the font I tend to use. Fira Code came in second, and that's fair, I've used it on occasion, I like it. I feel like Chivo Mono[1] would make …

They should probably look up the definition of dictionary in their dictionary.

Saying no.

If everyone owes the banker £1M, it's the insurer's problem. Then the government's problem when the insurer melts down.

Perhaps, but in terms of getting things done and making progress, it isn't very useful to suppose that it is simply a mystery box and that's that. Because if we just accept that, w…

Schadenfreude to the extent of humour. That is a difficulty isn't it, the audience can find whatever it wants funny if that's how it's wired. Perhaps you're right.

I think the word "joke" in the context of his interview was more or less intended to mean "bit" or "skit" or "humour-incitement type" -- rather than literally joke as in "knock kno…
