I believe this was sarcarsm, since American politicians like to always pitch Israel as "America's Greatest Ally", thus making it a common target of sarcasm
as i think of it, it's strange that the US supposedly has a separation of religion from state, in the constitution+amendments, yet funds an external country based on a religion. i wonder what fraction of donations to Israel come back as lobbyists paying politicians to fund the next round of donations. there must be datasets recorded somewhere, but i have no idea where to look.
Hi, I created an account but could not login, for some reason. I'm on Brave and have some security settings on - maybe something related to that? Never had issues on other websites.
On another note, the mobile browser version could be better - the rows exceed the width of the screen.
But other than that, you've got something cool over here, I'll bookmark it :)
I'm using Supabase free-tier, think I need to upgrade to allow more sign ups. Mobile experience needs work, sorry about that. Thanks for the feedback, cheers!
OP comes around with some of the coolest things posted in HN recently, and all he gets is extensive criticism, when it is clear that this is an early version :/
I think HN is a community where people want to post something novel or new. When someone wants to post a kudos, most likely they'll upvote someone else instead of posting yet another "awesome job" (even if it is certainly warranted). Criticism instead can be endlessly diverse since there's usually only limited number ways to get it right, but plenty to get wrong.
In the end, HN comments fall prey to this truth and you see a handful of positive comments, with the majority being criticisms or "I wish this did X". No one person is to blame. Its just the culture of technologists today.
I would be pretty appreciated if people criticize my project. That is how you grow. If people tend hide cruel truth behind applause, the world would just crumbled.
OP is claiming amazing results, people are poking obvious holes that good single core implementations completely rip the scalability claims to shreds. Near linear scalability is not impressive if—even at the highest throughput—the computation pales by comparison to Rust on a single core.
I do not see how the comparison to the iPhone here stands.
What you appreciate has little to do with whether we should assume others are thick-skinned. If someone has always been knocked down they will struggle to positively accept criticism regardless of how well meant it might be.
I really think I take criticism well... The problem is that people were criticizing us for not doing things that were literally done on the second paragraph. So at this point it didn't feel like productive criticism? That's like being criticized for being naked when you're full clothed. How do you even make sense of that...
People are more childish than they like to believe. It's a mix of jealousy and ignorant skepticism. What you're doing is incredibly interesting I look forward to seeing it develop!
It has 905 upvotes, it has received a fair share of positivity as well. Even criticism is often positive, since it expresses interest and engagement with the ideas and approach.
Not criticizing new projects is a good social norm, because starting new and ambitious projects is good and should not be discouraged. However, criticizing projects that make misleading, unsubstantiated or false claims is also a good social norm, because it discourages people from making misleading, unsubstantiated or false claims.
We're a bit off-topic, but there's no requirement that your account be associated with your identity, especially when the op is pretty clearly involved with the project (as opposed to if they were claiming not to be or something).
I have no idea what you're trying to convey, but I'm Victor Taelin. Also very cool comment on that thread, hypothesizing on whether we'd be able to ever run it on GPUs. We did it! That is what we're announcing today.
Aristotelian Thomism was not enforced, nor was it agreed upon by theologicians at the time within the Church. Aquinas would only gain more support to his ideas later on, and after his death. But this was never enforced Church teaching that is infallible, it was simply one way (out of many) to do theology and arrive at certain conclusions. No one has ever been labeled a heretic by disagreeing with Aristotelianism.
Tommaso Campanella certainly was and was jailed by the Inquisition. Although like Giordano Bruno, it is hard to know exactly which of his many nonstandard beliefs the Church disliked more. Campanella wrote a book attacking Aristotle ("Philosophy demonstrated by the senses"), but he also was into astrology and magic and was also a sort of proto-Marxist with his "City of the Sun" utopia.
The Inquisition was more about persecuting people who published dissenting works and finding any justification after the fact. Galileo was just repeating Copernicus’s theory, but he used the Vatican’s own press to do it, which made him a target.
