There's so much 'repeat trash' that could be repurposed if accumulated instead of disposed immediately.

This is really fascinating... But is it worth the investment when there's cheap storage for high quality audio and video recordings, and text-to-speech does a decent job? What am I missing?

Facebook would be ideally placed to orchestrate that sort of scam. It certainly hasn't showed signs of stopping.
Sort of with the Equifax hack and their subsequent business exploit of the breach.

Hi U
Re:Ask HN: Good articles/courses for understanding mathematical notation?
on Friday June 19, 2020 @04:08PM (#23578393)
I've been working on some of these ideas. Even if you had mathematica-grade program implementations of all mathematical objects and properties, you can't get over things like "you can't solve the quintic this way, dummy!" Or "no, you can't have a good visual of R^n in a 2D screen!" Etc.
That doesn't mean all hope is lost. For now, I won't say more.
Re:Ask HN: Good articles/courses for understanding mathematical notation?

I think the reason is that math notation is used in context. Which is what explains the two different notations for calculus derivatives. They were interested in different things! Similarly in quantum mechanics (not my area) you may want to use bra-ket notation or matrix representations if you care about implementation details.
