And yet for someone like me who is not a math expert, it has (all) always felt unapproachably foreign.

Lol, why?

In the age of "Twitter"? Why Twitter specifically, not the internet or social media? I honestly feel like Twitter is losing relevance. I learned about it from TikTok for what its worth, and then read more about it here on HN. I've never understood why people put Twitter on a pedestal that I feel it doesn't deserve. Though aside from that your point stands and I totally agree with you. In reality people's/companies' constitutional rights can be infringed easily and the courts take months or even years to stop said infringement.

It feels weird and unfair to focus solely on Kahn here when he’s competing with some random teacher or professor’s droning, confusing, non-interactive lecture that’s less engaging and just as lacking in interactivity or application.

I also don’t think he ever purports to be “all you need” to learn.

It reminds me of the people who criticize Duolingo because you can’t actually reach perfect fluency through their app--like wasn’t it always obvious that it was never meant to be the only education you need; wasn’t it always obvious that you need to actually _speak_ a language to learn it? And yet it’s still a great app that has helped millions of people learn languages.

Anyone have a magic link for the horrible site with a paywall?

But whyyyy :P

As a native speaker, I have to ask it to rephrase 5-10 times a day. Sometimes I actually get mad and I tell it “I can’t answer that because I don’t know what the fuck load-bearing indirection means”. I’ve gotten so frustrated that I’ve ended a session and started over.

Np! I get it, but basically for a lot of us you burned your shot at marketing this by doing it before you were ready.

What? When I saw you couldn’t even make the effort to tell your AI to at least make the README _pretend_ to be written for humans to read, I immediately knew this was slop and stopped looking further. Using AI to create this is totally fine, but there’s a minimal level of effort that needs to be put in.

Not sure why people post content from these horrible media sites that require a subscription to read it. I have no interest in subscribing to the Guardian. Personally I wish HN would ban submissions from these predatory sites.

This doesn't really make any sense... why not just turn them off?

To be fair I imagine it has very few users now; maybe a chicken and egg thing. Most people either get their news from a single news site or from social media these days. And no I'm not implying that no one verifies sources on these platforms, but either it's Reddit or Hacker News or TikTok or Twitter.

I’m curious—if it was unobtrusive would you feel the same way? For example if it were a game, and after you beat a level or finished a game, if the summary screen showing the stats and points from your session just had, down at the bottom, “Do you love this game? Consider leaving us a review in the App Store!”? I hate the bag popups too, especially when they get in the way of whatever I’m trying to do in the app and I’m forced to either dismiss the dialog or go do it. But is even _mentioning it to you_ you without the nag pop up too much? Deserving of a one star review?
