  1. Nice intro challenge
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_s...

    Where is "here"? They've been a thing for 200 years so I'm curious

  3. Compilers can add way more closed forms. Would it be worth it?

  4. I've only been here for a month. I guess I'm learning well
  5. Don't forget his LLM based text compression software that won awards.

    Guy is a genius. I hope he tries Rust someday

  6. I responded to the last point of the parent comment
  7. You could kinda already do this with all kinds of security cameras. There are only so many people who are computer proficient, and that number is lower than the number of camera installers.

    There have been cases of people getting into baby monitors and yelling at the baby.

    But as a tech company, this is extremely irresponsible

    BTW, Benn Jordan is also known as The Flashbulb, an ambient legend

  8. That's why it's good to use GrapheneOS*. In the future, hopefully the pinebook project succeeds
  9. Please no that's my go to
  10. I can't believe they thought so hard about how threads work in the first programming language

  11. Why do we group East Asia with South Asia? We don't group the Middle east with Europe
  12. And other countries probably have it worse
  13. Just tax profits
  14. We need to flatten everything. Thanks for the great write up
  15. Dark humor
  16. Yeah, it's definitely a huge bubble right now. I think a lot of crypto bros have marketed it more as a casino than a solution to a decentralized currency.

    A hypothetical good use case: one can have a "science crypto" where the transaction fees go to funding science. By using the cryptos you want you can essentially pay taxes to causes you think are important

  17. Crypto is not necessarily just a casino; the tech has value but there is no mass adoption of the currency as of yet.

    We'll probably see mass adoption of crypto if a crypto can become a store of wealth

  18. Evolution is beautiful. To me, it's the most beautiful process ever chronicled
  19. I wouldn't be surprised if life on earth expands to other solar systems before the sun goes berserk. There's 5 billion years left
  20. That's fair, but imagine trying to get the average reader up to speed with something like npm.
