Yeah but. Why the USA? If I say "Russia invaded Ukraine", why do I always get the response "but the USA.." and now any one of many other countries that also invade. What is the connection? The USA has nothing to do with this.

No, let me explain to you what is actually going on. What's going on is that Russians have a chip on their should the size of Texas. A deep rooted sentiment of inferiority, that triggers every time you say something bad about their country, which they hate, and respond by attacking the country they admire but can't admit.

Without looking at polls, what do you think is the percentage of the Russian population that answered Yes to the question: if given the chance to move to the USA, would you? If you believe what you're saying, you probably think this is a very small number.

> A die should show a different number on top almost every time. If the same number or two are consistently showing on the top of the die, you have found the imperfections and you know you have a bad die.

How is this different from just throwing a die over and over and see what comes up? There's uncertainty in the outcome in both cases.

Why do you need to "aggregate" anything? You have 10 feeds, you hit refresh, the 10 display new content.

I've started calling this stance "free market fundamentalism".

No, "the market" isn't all knowing and infallible. It's wrong very often. And the way it allocates capital is often not optimal in any way.

People like you argue that scamming old people is an important activity because it allows capital to be better employed. I mean, "the market" wouldn't reward the scammer with a living otherwise!

Someone said to me, if you look at all activities that have the potential to make you vast amounts of money, what you'll find is that the people doing them are people who are very motivated by money. It's not that the good guys at stripe selflessly accept devoting their lives making society better even tho it's boring, they're doing it for the money. I don't see how "smart" or "boring" enters here at all.

Someone found it interesting. That's all it takes to qualify to HN.

Sure, but there are countries where the accent of people speaking English makes the pun very obvious. I wonder if the original WhatsApp people were foreigners.

Usually brands make the conscious effort to avoid that, because they might lose their trademark.

I'm just a normal functioning member of human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.

There used to be a better one, I believe called rutor many years ago. Disappeared last time I checked.

The fascinating thing about Brave is how fanatical their fanbase is.

Oh nice just in time for bed, thanks for sharing.

> Code examples generated by LLMs CANNOT work without supervision and review of an experienced engineer.

My experience as someone who also hates the hype cycle is that I forced myself to try it to generate code despite being deeply skeptical. I havent had a single good experience, meaning getting the code that does the thing I want.

I've also tried leetcode exercises and also failed here. And that's what surprised me the most - surely if anything it should be able to get right publicly available questions with publicly available solutions? I don't get it.

Once I asked it for a name of people, and I asked it to format it as an html table and it did that right which was nice...

So what? The question isn't whether Enron Musk might be using his money to influence the outcome of an election in a way that's sub optimal, which is what you've shown. The question is whether he might be using his money to influence the outcome of an election, which is what I've shown.

To individuals who are in swing states and aren't registered to vote. If the constitutional petition is so important why restrict it those individuals?

Because it's really about getting people who are likely to vote trump and who have a chance to make a difference.

Am I crazy or is it a bad idea to download all your emails into your phone?

> Presumably it wasn't "invite people who run 'shadowbanned' sites" when they don't acknowledge that there is such a thing. So what was it, then?

Answer: it WAS to invite people who run shadowbanned sites, they just don't acknowledge that there is such a thing.

I'm telling you, many google employees are in a cult. They deny evidence in full confidence because thats what they're told say their work place.

> there really is no free

> just buy index funds

Sounds like your contradicting yourself. Sounds like index funds are in fact a free lunch.

He was obviously joking

> As Buffett told Gates in the Omaha candy shop: “It was the best business I was ever in. I peaked very early in my business career.”

Citation needed.

Before calling it racist we could ask him for a reference. After all, it might be a truthful fact.

But yes, it stood out to me too, and I'm confused how you're the only person commenting on it.

I wonder if these people justify having a shitty writing mechanism by being smart. "It's so needlessly complex, but we're smart so we can afford it" when in reality if you're smart you want it as simple as possible.

And then he comes on HN and rationalizes the fact that he can't spell. Ironic.

When I said examples I was looking for a link to a paragraph. Instead, you gave me the same vague shit as the person I was talking to.

Examples please.

You think asking for the location of organs is being prepared for work? Or geography, or history, or civil government. I think you're romanticizing the past.

> In contrast, the 2024 curriculum for eighth graders focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, and the application of concepts rather than pure memorization. Modern eighth-grade assessments tend to incorporate multiple-choice questions, data interpretation, and critical analysis tasks, emphasizing skills over the retention of facts. For instance, geography in 2024 often includes understanding climate change impacts, human migration, and data analysis using technology. Students are less often asked to memorize the names of specific rivers or capitals and more often expected to understand broader concepts, such as the implications of geographic features on human civilization.

Strongly disagree. A 12 year old has zero chance of applying critical thinking or data analysis to complex subjects like climate change or human migration. It's still memorization, he's still expected to regurgitate a few lines he learned in school.

> it’s low range and really low range when towing make it impractical for any actual truck work.

So it's a bit crap then?

Would be the happiest day of my life.

I would like to understand in detail what you just wrote.

"$1 per coin game" is this a game where you put in $1 to play and get paid either $2 or $0 with 50-50 probability (0 expected).

And the what does it mean %1 edge? Does it mean the probabilities are such that the expected payout is 1c per coin flip?
