For those who aren't familiar with the great but tragic story of Principia and Russell's quest for the foundation of math (spoiler: there is none), there's a really great graphic novel called Logicomix https://en.

Look at the URL. It’s because the original WSJ title was “OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Resigns,” which was a dupe of yesterday’s discussions. WSJ changed the title yesterday evening.

Even better imo than all the chemical energy we could store when we have excess solar, think about all the water we could create. Creating fresh water from sea water is extremely energy intensive, but there's nothing easier to store th

The best mental model for a heat pump is that they can maintain a certain temperature differential, say 80F. If it gets to be 0F outside and you want it to be 70? You don’t need to switch to a fully separate heating system, you just need to

About ten years ago I set custom vibrations for my top contacts on my phone to be the Morse code representation of their initials. Ever since, I’ve had the super power of knowing who is texting or calling me without pulling out my phone. I’

What an impressive company. A good reminder that, even in a market with umpteen competitors, success comes down to execution. Hope they keep up the good work.

Congrats on the launch! The novel (for robotics) business structure looks interesting. How are you planning on kickstarting the ecosystem? It looks like you need at least one or two competent companies above you on the stack before you can

You can’t join unless you’re an accredited investor. That’s because, like for many other fun similar things, the enterprise passes the Howey Test and is considered a security under the Securities Act of 1933. It’s funny how they try to disc

Something funny about bubbles. I’ve heard it said that housing prices in 2005 were outrageous, so much that they could only possibly be justified if the population somehow banded together to stop most new housing from being built. Likewise

Still a good thing, but title is misleading. 40% of India’s electricity does not come from non-fossil fuel sources. Instead, 40% of their installed capacity is non-fossil-fuel based. There’s a big difference because of the expected capacity

Vitess and Citus seem to be half-way between manual sharding and distributed SQL. They really discourage cross-shard updates, for instance, whereas they're a really natural part of distributed SQL: > The authors of Vitess recommend

SymPy is pretty niche, but it saved my butt many years ago in my years of collegiate robotics. We spent months unsuccessfully trying to compute kinematics and sensor coordinate transformations on vectors of quarternions by “hand” with numpy

An incredible article. The author pulls out all the emotional stops against some environmentally conscious elite he dislikes: > Heidegger, like much of the conservation movement, would have hated what the Energiewende has become: an excu

I’ve been battling pretty severe RSI for a couple of years now. My unscientific and anecdotal couple of cents: - Get an arm roller and use it regularly to massage and stretch your tendons - Keep warm. Wear a sweatshirt while typing. My RSI

This is hacking and is unethical at best and at worst, extremely illegal. Congratulations, you found out a way to systematically steal other people’s reward points and are helping others do the same. Should this really be on HN?

Banks who petition the Fed for FDIC insurance face much stricter reporting rules, capital reserve requirements, and limits on the riskiness investments they can make with client deposits from FINRA and the SEC. If you wanted, you could view

No, and that is one of the reasons their rate is so high. To receive FDIC insurance from the government, FINRA and the SEC generally have much tighter restrictions on what they allow the banks to do with the deposits and what they force the
