hey I've got a question about Kagi:

so, a bunch of third party apps made for Reddit are getting killed this month because Reddit decides to jack up the prices. What's going to happen to Kagi if/when it becomes somewhat of a competitor to Google/Bing and they want it dead?

Thanks for the link. Could you give an example of something you learned better/easier after having implemented a simplified version?

Side question: Is there a entry level build your own language model or gan type learning tool out there as well?

This articles reads more like a student recruitment brochure than an actual article

IIRC, financial fraud that makes the country (e.g., from its citizens/organizations) lose a lot of money is a capital offense in China. And also everything you own will be confiscated to pay back to the country.

(If you ignore the "China is Evil" bit for a minute) It kind of makes sense: you steal money from a country, maybe go to jail for a bit, leave the country, reunited with all your stolen money. Not so good.

It's interesting how entitled people feel from $10-15.

I'm just glad Toady (of Dwarf Fortress) doesn't have to deal with this kind of behaviour.

>One is they learn how to create new ideas from existing ones

This is how our brains are wired to work: the more places we can cross-reference the material from, the more likely we can "derive" it again quickly even if we can't memorize it.

"shut up/memorize it/some things just are" kills the intention to learn faster than a speeding bullet to the brain.

I'm unfamiliar with Quora. How is it different from, say, yahoo answers or stackOverflow??

=) then you can tell people you are this many years old this year, up until you're 31.

What is...not understanding the limitations of the Socratic method, clearly outlined at the bottom of the link?

Everything that we know can be broken down into "basic" atoms which cannot be broken down further, but are so tiny the can be learned quickly, or things built up bit by bit, which can be explained given enough time. Even things like "capital cities and states" can be taught by asking how things get named and who names them and who would name something the way they did, giving a bit of historical background etc.

Plato's Republic?

I'm very very interested in considering homeschooling. How did the article's method differ with your child, since the "class size" is reduced to one? Your child won't have the benefit of being "filled in", but maybe she feels that she owns 100% of the achievement?

By the way, "one-ten-two" and "three-ten-thee" is literally how the Chinese would pronounce their numbers (一十二，三十三）. In a way I think it's helped me understand place values earlier.

in an ideal world, none of the founds will need the money to pay rent or pay for child care etc, they'd all be young guys with no debt living at home.

The fact that one founder may have bills to pay, and him being the only guy having to cash in very early, will beat the morale out of him: he'll be working as an employee. This is also your guy whose tolerance for risk is the lowest precisely because he's got bills to pay. He might as well quit and go work 9-5 for steady pay in that case.

What kind of form....just email?

I would personally be very hesitant to fill out a form for free software (trial? full?), and be completely turned off by the prospect of having sales people contact me about it later.

Sometimes having nothing to say is a good thing.
