this is not how it works.

true

true

does not follow
hn is purely a rumor mill now (you are correct).
Is this supposed to be clever? Their assets serve their business (you know ... like any normal company) and that business is selling tokens.
There is absolutely no timeline where Apple acquires any token provider because Apple doesn't sell tokens.
as in the reddit post: "dawg the flowers are pretty and look cool its not that deep"

this is absolutely never happening

This isn't even a public tool so how exactly does it conflict?

faculty research overhead pays for department TAs. that's why departments with rich professors maintain their TAs even through budget cuts.

man fox news has really done a number on people's brains.....
Smoking pole means sucking dick lol so actually as tongue in cheek (no pun intended) it actually kind of works (ie someone got VC by quid pro quo sexual favors)
I don't see anyone outraged? I see someone commenting on how internet "discourse" is just gossip when it used to be fairly rigorous. Which is accurate, especially here on hn where almost every comment just repeats something from another post ("modular is going to change world" as if we all didn't see the modular content marketing piece just above.....)
FYI accusing someone of being outraged to distract from their point is called "appeal to emotion". Whether op is outraged or not has bearing on whether the observation is accurate.
People love saying this as a gotcha. Please do tell how so.
> If their highly concentrated customers get smart and start looking at low cost
The two customers are Apple and FB. The former will never switch and the latter already has.
Terrence Howard is that you?
they're releasing this today because the pytorch conf is this week...
> Imagine if someone suggested that cars existed for the sake of competition
are the mathematicians the cars here? what are you even saying? the question is whether elite mathematicians do the work they do primarily for competition and compensation or for the love of the field. now ask yourself: do F1 drivers do it primarily for the love of the sport or for the money?
> delivery drivers
people getting scooped by OAI are not the "delivery drivers" of the math world.
> You clearly live in a world you don't understand.
i have a phd in pure math. you sure i'm the one that doesn't understand this world?
> Mathematics isn't about "winning competitions".
yea that's why there are no named prizes awarded to mathematicians which come with hundreds of thousands of dollar in prize money....
lol do you people actually live in this world?
i have no idea what this means
Since you're such a philosopher apparently what's your response then
> You must have a very weak understanding on this topic
i work on the codegen for a C compiler i'm pretty sure my understanding is better than yours <shrug>
EDIT: and also you've clearly never read that article
> One of the key attributes of a low-level language is that programmers can easily understand how the language’s abstract machine maps to the underlying physical machine
so you did exactly imply "C is a low level language"
