nh23423fefe··on Show HN: Curious HN – Hacker News without the snark
You think being a human is violating the norms of a community to satisfy one's base urges. This is just selfish unthinking arrogance.

You piled on more useless snark but didn't actually make the point you wanted to because you snarked.

snark is the worst. its low effort low value undifferentiated negativity.

labelling snark humanity makes no sense.

nh23423fefe··on The Little Book of Generative AI Foundations: An Intuitive Mathematical Primer
I said I don't like the wording.

> Given a vector x expressed in the standard basis, we change coordinates by applying

The set of lines in Euclidean 2-space is a vector space. There is an isomorphism into R^3: choose an origin, choose x,y axes, and then ax + by + c = 0 gives tuples in R^3.

The line is x, the tuple in R^3 is t but the wording uses x when it should use t (which is never introduced). The wording conflates vectors with coordinate vectors.

I don't like:

> Changing coordinates. Given a vector x expressed in the standard basis, we change coordinates by applying

    x_eig = V^−1 x.
> This operation does not change the vector itself; it only changes how the vector is represented, converting it into eigenvector coordinates.

I'm sure the author knows about the difference between the vector and a coordinate vector given a basis. I just don't like this wording. It's weird to say applying a function doesn't affect a change.

The poorest least equipped people don't have money in the market. Are you suggesting the SEC is capable of stopping a recession from occuring?

nh23423fefe··on Making Peace with the Projective Plane
The only time i've understood applications of projective geometry was seeing rotations and translations unified using exponentials of bivectors. I still dont get homogenous coords. Like i get how f(lambda*x)=lambda^n*f(x) and that means f is like a homomorphism but i've never solved any problem sets and understood why one would do this in the first place. I get what stereographic projection is, but can't apply it to problems.

whereas i constantly see applications of other math objects i've learned about. i never hear myself think, 'oooh yeah thats projective and so...'

nh23423fefe··on Tell HN: I'm going on strike this November
No I don't want to. The fact you wrote this yourself doesn't matter. No one works Nov to Jan anyway so the impact is nothing. Ranting about us vs them is completely unpersuasive simplifying drivel.

Your list of demands means nothing to me. Social media addiction is fake. RTO is good. My manager doesn't even talk to me let alone micro manage me. Slop is 2024 criticism you need to update your insults.

There is no we. I don't share your goals or outlook and you make no effort to persuade.

nh23423fefe··on Software may be getting worse, but it used to be horrible
What point are you trying to make? The comment I responded to added nothing. Your snarky low value response to me is to suggest I believe expanding the nothing by use of AI would be good? Why would you make such a bad inference or worse joke?

a dashboard for tracking and ploting my weight. i wake up i tell it what i weigh. i want a dashboard with some curves and trendlines. the uis it creates are either completely broken or simply dont match the guidelines. when i try to correct its just whack a mole and alters the entire design. its unable to make revisions. muse'll say, "oh sorry you did ask to blah blah but the agent did something different and i didn't check. ill blah blah in the future". the ui is pretty but nonfunctional. so it seems trained on design over function to me.

another is a closet for playing dress up with my avatar. this ui is actually broken and inelegant and wont take revisions at all. and obviously it content gates the outfits constantly because gooner prevention which is whatever. but its just another lame surface that wont work. outfit rotation broken, outfit snapshots are broken images. underlying avatar changed appearance not just outlook.

its just unreliable outside, "go lookup cordless drills under $70"

Surprised to read Muse praise. I think Muse is really terrible outside web search and info aggregation. It remembers nothing and cant build anything. It's only good at trying to help me shop. All the artifacts it produces for me are very very poor

You didn't make that argument at all. You said our lives are flooded with soulless creations night and day--the product of lazy minds. You called people you dont like lazy.

You insult people and then lie about what you said.
