hungryforcodes··on Compilation of claims/reports of LK-99 replication efforts
But you have to choose to do it and there is an additional cost, if I am not mistaken. When our startup filed our patents in the US market, we chose not to do the same in Europe...
hungryforcodes··on Compilation of claims/reports of LK-99 replication efforts
This was super informative. Thanks :)
hungryforcodes··on Compilation of claims/reports of LK-99 replication efforts
Wait, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't patents only valid in the country they are filed in? So to be able to enforce a patent, you'd need to have filed in the US, Europe and China(?). Also patents take a couple of years to get accepted...
hungryforcodes··on Compilation of claims/reports of LK-99 replication efforts
Isn't this one of those game theory scenarios? Some labs could profit by not announcing replication, but others could by announcing it as quickly as possible? Thus not all labs will behave the same way, unless they are all colluding which seems unlikely.
hungryforcodes··on Being ‘Too Busy’ Means Your Personal Strategy Sucks
This so much. I think we all have a limited time available for what we want to do in life, so when someone asks me to do some specific thing-- I really AM too busy. I have other priorities already allocated...
hungryforcodes··on Austrian leader proposes enshrining the use of cash in country's constitution
Ah, I see. But the new notes in India are fine then. It doesn't help you, I understand-- my condolences.
hungryforcodes··on Austrian leader proposes enshrining the use of cash in country's constitution
So you're saying Indian money is useless in India?
hungryforcodes··on City officials attempt to doxx Wikipedians
Or just violence in general in the US. Let's not try and mask it.
hungryforcodes··on Redmine – open-source project management
No, Redmine is awful. The only people who like it are developers who have no need of real project management features.

For everyone else it's a labyrinth of bugs, weird UI kludges and something that feels like it's from 1998.

I consider them to be "dog like".

Mind you I'm not in a horse barn.

hungryforcodes··on Crosswords and chess may help more than socializing in avoiding dementia
Whatever works man. So many Americans are obese, I wouldn't diss it.

For example, my friends always said I should try crossfit. I tried it 3 times all with failure. Then I began indoor rock climbing because my friend lost weight doing it. I tried it and loved it. Now I'm 30kg lighter. Took a couple of years, but whatever.

My conclusion: whatever keeps you going.

This is awesome. I had no idea this machine existed.
hungryforcodes··on Musk Announces xAI
Ok, so going back: Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple and Tim Cook the COO. Who ran Apple at this time?

Hint: The COO is just an executor.

hungryforcodes··on Musk Announces xAI
No one has ever complained about Musk running SpaceX.
hungryforcodes··on Musk Announces xAI
This is pedantic. Everyone associates SpaceX with Musk obviously.
hungryforcodes··on Decades-long bet on consciousness ends
OK
hungryforcodes··on Decades-long bet on consciousness ends
But this is a totally meaningless definition. It says nothing about the phenominalogical experience of consciousness in a meaningful way and contains nothing that is scientifically falsifiable.
hungryforcodes··on Amazon cancels my account after exposing account lockout for “racist doorbell” [video]
Wow. An "allegedly" racist door bell, but it's an accurate description. Thanks!

Sorry, I guess I am nieve. But what is a racist door bell?
hungryforcodes··on About GitHub’s use of your data
These are well established business with deeply developed ecosystems (monopolies?) and market traction behind them.

Smaller players, especially threats to OpenAI and whoever else could easily get squashed in such a scenario.

hungryforcodes··on TypeScript 5.2's new keyword: 'Using'
This is really true. I feel somehow the problem came when the functional programming gang hijacked it and forced ES6 on us. Promises were so counter intuitive they had to create shortly after async / wait...

Don't get me wrong there are alot of great things in ES6, but it was not quite the same language after...

hungryforcodes··on Serotonin booster leads to increased functional brain connectivity
Ok. Please describe the specifics of the trap, tho.

Telling us HN are doing "bad" won't help until you tell us what the bad is.

hungryforcodes··on Why aren't black box flight recorders better?
> The difference is that the mh370 pilot deliberately took actions to avoid tracking.

I'll bother to defend myself here -- we don't know what happened. It could have been hijacked, it could have been a CIA operation, it could have been many different things. That you conclude it was the captain doing a suicide run does smell of something strange, considering the plane was in the air for 8 hours before disappearing from satellite contact.

That's all I will say on this. Downvote me as much as you want.

hungryforcodes··on Why aren't black box flight recorders better?
OK, but this is just theorizing -- you don't really know. It's a very good question that doesn't have an answer really.
hungryforcodes··on Why aren't black box flight recorders better?
It's because he's Muslim huh?

I mean there are lots of theories.

My favorite is still the one about the fire caused by the windshield electrical heater. There is precedence on other Boeing 777s for this to have played out. It was a known problem.

If it really was a suicide drop into the ocean...why wait 8 hours...just...do it...

I'm sorry, when did we decide this? As far as I can tell this is just one of a number of different theories on MH370s disappearance.

Which just shows -- having kids leads to a massive productivity drop / personal advancement opportunity failure.

Consider wisely...

hungryforcodes··on Ex-ByteDance exec: Communist Party had ‘God credential’
Exactly. In the US they have a secret court where the government can get a secret warrant and issue it to a company demanding basically anything.

The whole concept of a "warrent canary" came from this.

How is this any different than a "god mode"?

I'm not defending China -- but let's face facts....
