people who claim to know the winning lotto numbers but never buy tickets shouldn't be taken seriously =)

this is not true - if you know for certaint that trump will be president through winning an election in 2028 you can make over 20X your money. at the end of the day people don't actually believe it, which is why trump is valued little.

this doesn't really make any sense. in this scenario what's the hedge then?

isn't it true though that laws that have frequently abused loopholes that effectively go against the spirit of the law are indeed failures? isn't that the entire purpose of having lawmakers who are constantly evaluating such thing

I wonder how the startup scene will adjust to this if it becomes mainstream. can employee contracts be modified to force compensation even in this case? seems difficult to write one up without weird second order effects. if this does end up

why wouldn't it decrease volume? presumably if it starts costing 100 bucks a day people would stop driving and take these hypothetical buses, no? of course as I mentioned I know this would never actually work for political reasons.

it would never happen, but ideally toll roads would be dynamically priced such that the average speed is always within 10% of the speed limit. congestion fixed. earmark this money in a way that can't be siphoned and build public transp

these sorts of comments always make me laugh considering where they are posted. in before: "HN isn't social media!"

I always wonder if things can be simpler. When you think of a really simple DB you think of SQLite. What's the really simple K8s? Even doing a single node deployment these days seems complicate with Prometheus, Grafana, etc. etc. docke

sure, but my point wasn't exclusive to them (hence the etc in the first comment). it was just related to any mass media platform, all of them collectively will win. you are right about YouTube in particular though, good point.

> the format of the media simply isn't amenable to output matching longer-form work, no matter how much gets produced why not? seems like a tautology. what's a robust set of criteria we can use the evaluate this objectively. I

that's a funny example, because something like Cobra Kai literally began on YouTube, there are others like Hazbin Hotel. anyway, as for the statistics, for the case of YouTube since there are is no forced directive to which all videos

I'm not sure I understand your analogy. YouTube has both diversity and quantity at levels tens of orders of magnitude higher than any high-quality-low-quantity good. Given the subjectivity of quality and amounts considered it's si

is there actually a programming language that makes race conditions impossible (I am not being facetious, I actually do not know)? if the existence of races makes a language unsafe, then aren't all languages unsafe?

is go not memory safe? other than unsafe and other contrived goroutine scenarios, isn't it? I'm actually really curious - I've been writing go for just a couple years now and my understanding is the only ways for it to be u

I like Cal Newport and own all of his books, but this sort of commentary is ultimately just pretentious. Aristocrats back in the day had similar thoughts about peasants even being literate. I assure you, by sheer virtue of quantity , no ma

yes, but I find it hard to constrain it to a minimal implementation. what usually happens is it writes some tests, then an implementation, and then according to the thinking, makes some modification. it works with a relatively precise promp

fair. I used to think that too, but I find at least for golang, the sota models write tests way faster than I would be able to. tdd is actually really possible with ai imo. except of course you get the scaffolding implementation (I haven&#x

weird - even if AI was literally omnipotent and omniscient, you would still be bottlenecked on human's ability to actually evaluate and verify what it is doing and reconciling that with what you wanted it to do. Unless you're of

this is based on comments on the actual flagged articles - some people say why they flag you know.

why unredact, rather than just edit the pdf to remove the redaction box and insert whatever you want? presumably you'd want a viewer to see that you modified a redaction, but why?

"plenty of other markets" have way smaller margins and are not nearly as robust an industry as software.

I wonder if it works for speaker diarization out of the box. I've found that open source speaker diarization that doesn't require a lot of tweaking is basically non-existent.

Isn’t the cause that people just happened to elect someone who doesn’t care and is corrupt? Are you implying money decided the election? How do you reconcile this with the fact that trump was outspent?

so you don't know but you keep saying it's because of pro trumpers...? why spread misinformation. you could just say that it keeps getting flagged without lying.

why do you think it's because of trump supporters, I'm curious if you have evidence of trump affiliated suppression on HN (notwithstanding the actual segment which could certainly be said to be trump suppressed) - maybe people jus
