I just tried the rectangle test on 4o and it answered correctly.

You didn't mention it is a Thomas Sowell book. So not exactly a mainstream book they use commonly at Uni, despite its name.

Common remark about game making (also here) is that “there are already a lot of games, building them is not the limiting factor“, and yet I find myself without anything to play despite these 70k games on steam. I like playing city building games, all the good ones I already beat and there is nothing new that seems any good!

links are indeed the best. It is hard not to click on the comments however, which is a roll of a dice.

Negative sentiment is more general than toxicity in my understanding - but it does include it. The fact that the study found HN consistently negative does not surprise me, one of the ways HN is negative (the most disruptive and which makes me post here less often) is indeed toxic comments. But I am still here (in the comments no less) so the benefit still outweighs the pain.

HN is a pretty toxic place indeed.

At first I thought it was written in the 80ies, then I saw the author mention 1995 and it began to feel very strange that someone from the mid 90ies would rant against computers. Then I reached a section about LLM …

I was genuinely curious to learn what are the arguments to keep cash around (I myself am pretty happy with digital payments). This article was such as tedious read and in the end I am still not well educated on the arguments. mostly that there is a narrative against cash, that it is demonized and that somehow digital money is like casino chips? As far as I know banks and their apps do function based on gov regulations so it is pretty far from chips or uber points.

If you yourself feel like an under appreciated superstar this kind of article will surely resonate with you (it is HN after all). I personally find the premise unlikely, without good process you cannot get a larger group of people to do anything consistently.

this is a pretty interesting workflow. I was indeed thinking how one would integrate Souffle into a bigger application.

I don't see how the body of this post supports its title/thesis. What I read is the old re-heated argument "regulation drives up the costs" and very little about how this might relate to AI.
