Open meeting laws say people are welcome to be there. Constitution protects polite free speech, unambiguously.

It's not disingenuous. Clapping politely is Constitutionally protected free speech. Rule of law on violating an unlawful request in a situation like this one is not complex. It's the same as when an officer asks you to stop filmin

That's not quite the lesson. Earnings did come, and the outcome of the internet include Google, Amazon, and others -- several of the ten biggest companies in the world. In 2000, there was no sane way to predict who the success stories

Flatten plus debt is bad. Debt presumes future growth.

You're a racist. The way to tell between that and factual / culturally-fluent: were you able to any strengths of other cultures? Weaknesses of your own? Or did you go off on an (in this case ill-informed) rant about "they bad

I think these people do have our interests at heart, but that's largely irrelevant. Their point is that capitalist free markets don't let them act on that. Capitalism and democracy are becoming obsolete. It's not clear what&#

Neither existence nor nonexistence is obvious. Ergo, differences of opinion. Militants on both sides are problematic. I strongly dislike Dawkins, in the same way as I do people knocking on my door trying to convert me to any other religi

No, Numerical Recipes isn't better. Or worse. It's a different book on a different topic, with there topic very clearly advertised in the title. It's a series of... numerical recipes. Nice descriptions of many numerical alg

Should be modernized to Python or similar. In 2026, I don't want to do numerical programming in C. That was fine 30 years ago, but today, I expect to have garbage collection or to be able to multiply a matrix as A×B.

License is a big deal, and not just for cost and openness, but also for practical use in pages like docker, ci/cd pipeline, cloud deployments, or other places licenses need to be dynamic.

Scmutils from MIT does a very good -- arguably better -- job for correctness. No symbolic integration by ideology and not identical. Sussman and Terman. Amazing attention to detailand correctness. Claude could probably bridge Scheme to Wo

Reality shows that the outcome are centers with a television on 24/7, or where kids are given drugs to sleep. That's not the exception but the rule. That's why inspections and licensing came in. The longterm costs of that --

Cost of living for staff and lawful child to caregiver ratios. If you assume 1:4 or 1:5, that's around 100-125k per caregiver in tuition. With reasonable overhead numbers (space, management, compliance, licensing, taxes, etc.), that&

Has anyone verified this? I've "solved" many math problems with LLMs, with LLMs giving full confidence in subtly or significantly incorrect solutions. I'm very curious here. The Open AI memory orders and claims about cap

I think they are. The key question is about why they want to you to use the CLI. If you're not the customer, you're the product. There's also a monopolistic aspect to this. Having the best model isn't something over can

I hate websites like this. I try to zoom in or out, and they carefully undermine me.

> The only time I had to filter out a candidate was due to a quick check of his public social media where he was "enthusiastically" pro Palestine with questionable posts. Sounds like a place I wouldn't want to work (and fi

Employers would have to be pretty spiteful to look at it the way you purposed. I wouldn't want a spiteful employer. The flip side is that a lot of government jobs lead to pretty good private sector opportunities working with those same

The competitive advantage was supposed to be open, nonprofit, and good of humanity.

Remember when AOL bought Time Warner? I do think it's proven useful, much like the internet had in the nineties.

This will surely maximize quarterly profits until the next cloud or AI bust. Diversification is resilience. Putting consumer on hold makes some sense. An exit? This will be written about in business books.

The differentiation should be open source, nonprofit, and ethical. As a shady for-profit, there is none. That's the problem with this particular fraud.

I think one issue is time. We're a few years in. It takes time to figure things out and see returns. The web and dot com boom and bust still led to several trillion dollar companies, eventually. AI will transform my industry, but not o

The fork is better for normal people. There is no drama or controversy here. Grant built a brilliant tool for himself. He's not interested in doing the work to make it useful to others, or even allow PRs to do so. He's glad to ha

HN rule #1: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes Click 'site guidelines' when posting. You'll see. I don't like that rule, but it is a rule.

Agarwal said that in public. Behind closed doors, he was completely cynical about impact. His primary goal was financial (for himself). What happened was primarily due to personalities and misaligned incentives.

What about Apollo Air? I have one of each, and they both check all the boxes. I don't even have a preference. They both seem nearly ideal, depending on context.
