Strictly speaking it's based on AOSP. Which has Android in its name if you expand the acronym, but it's really not the same beast...

One way to detect mathematicians is that we say "[...], in particular, [...]". I guess it's our version of the economist thing!

When I started playing (2011-ish), I suppose I was the counterparty to your playstyle. But that was the appeal: Being in actual danger and at risk for loss. Even stuff like moving an industrial with goods from highsec to npc null to sell at

That's the bizarre thing about this hn discussion... A lot of people referencing rooted phones, but to the best of my knowledge GrapheneOS is almost never rooted?

I think your latter comment is kind of analogous to people writing python (or any high-level language) without understanding assembly. I think maybe that reduces the mystery a bit?

One of the famous problems with df is that it's very much single threaded. At least the last time I checked, which is some years ago by now. Besides that blocker, your idea sounds like a nice win.

The reason I started with vim was to do live writing of latex notes while listening to conference lectures, on a small notebook. I did not want to bring a mouse with me due to the extra weight and usually lack of a mouse surface. With the c

The numbers you mentioned are computable numbers. Constructivists and intuitionists have no problem with them, generally. The problem is that there is only a countable number of computable reals, so what do we do about all the other reals?

I think this is a good comment. Could you also provide an example of a true (essential?) proof of contradiction of an elementary mathematical statement, to illustrate?

If /dev/null is fast and web scale, I will use it.

It makes sense to me if the buyer is concerned that the performance would revert towards the mean on second generation if you attempt to breed further. But... The new paradigm is not breeding, it's cloning. So it seems like "one s

What would it even mean for the ublock origin runtime framework aka firefox to be equipped with an adblocker?!

Lee Sedol vs AlphaGo way back was it for me. Not exactly genAI, but that was when I saw that where I thought we were vs where we actually were on a problem could shift by 10 years in 1 week.

Seems like the opposite to me. We don't like theft because the victim loses something. If stealing a car spawned a new car for you while the "victim" kept his, would it be a problem? So I don't really get the murder anal

I love "Let our Fame be Great", about the history of the peoples of the Caucasus. Strongly recommended.

The first person videos of drones hunting terrified soldiers coming out of Ukraine seem relevant. Apparently the last moments of the hunt are pretty much automated now, which increased the kill-rate considerably.

I was thinking the same. But it worries me that these news about Motorola in particular doing shady shit. I was looking forward to the upcoming GrapheneOS/Motorola partnership :(

This is a fascinating topic which was covered in-depth here: https://acoup.blog/2021/03/05/collections-clothing-how-did-t... If I remember correctly, it claim is that about 50% of all labour over the course o

If you phrase it as an "insurance scheme", then sure they can? All insurance schemes work by giving you money if bad stuff you don't control happens. I'm sure they could. They probably won't.

I remember a reading a similar prediction from several years ago, too, with more or less the same reasons. If I'm able to dig it up, I'll post a link. It does make complete sense, doesn't it?...

Are the comments real? I guess this is kind of the recursive version of the purported phenomenon, but, are we sure all those comments aren't just bot generated outrage so people can have big engagement by feeling superiour or whatever?

I guess Americanisms bleeding over into English LLMs as used in Britain happens similarly. Should we also be expecting to see bleed-over of Indian English into generic English LLMs? Or is it not relatively large enough compared to America t

At first I checked out this happiness survey claim, which is true. Then I was thinking, maybe my initial informal impression was wrong? But looking at the depression and alcoholism data, it also seems to be true! This is really confusing!

Apologies for wasting time on this fluffy comment, but: They're using Finland of all places as an example of somewhere with a reputation of being happy all the time? This is bizarre to me. As a Scandinavian, the thing Finland is know
