- forget below average
reply- i ask stupid questions right here on HN all the time
- you would literally see it in my history
- all sorts of questions like why cant we have a language that looks like typed python but runs much faster than c++, rust and zig
- why cant we have 1 sextillion transistors inside a single chip
- why cant we use nuclear propulsion to reach 99% the speed of light for interstellar travel and what are the challenges here
- every single time i literally prefix it like "stupid question: why cant we do xyz"
you call them stupid questions, but i say these are quite good, trivial-seeming but actually non-trivial questions that lead you to a deeper understanding.
