Also many startups and companies are now building racks of Minis and Studios to automate build pipelines, testing, do local inference, run agents etc. I've personally seen this in at least 3 companies out of the half a dozen I've

This will very likely be an app inside "Toybox" - where there are other fun/goofy/pointless apps like replacing the car's horn with goat bleating / fart noises, light show, romance mode, changing the car's

1. Don’t work from home. Even if you are working for a fully remote company, get a personal office. 2. Have a laptop or desktop that only has a command line on it. Don’t carry your normal laptop along. 3. Don’t carry your phone. Instead inv

And I wish cyclists would re-learn that pedestrians have more rights of being on sidewalks. That said, the bigger plague on sidewalks are e-scooters. Additionally, most cyclists I see never stop at stop signs no matter how busy the intersec

3DS is not just 2FA, but it has an option to shift liability to the card issuer in case of card-stolen disputes. Our fraud has come to near 0 once we started 3DS enforcement. 1% of 3DS transactions don't lead to a liability shift, and

They are probably testing stolen/hacked PayPal accounts. Probably doing a dispute to ensure the owners don’t suspect anything is going wrong, until they use it for bigger transactions. Unfortunately with PayPal there’s no way to ascert

Simpler - eg. A table of some numbers, with a question to quickly compute averages of a filtered set, after performing some quick boolean logic to filter them.

We have to use some criteria when all applicants are effectively the same - 4000 applicants and 6 interviewers. We interview each applicant at least 3 times. Definition of being smart is to be quick at mental math and logic, but the puzzles

We get a few thousand fresh grads applying to us each year. It’s practically impossible to interview every one of them. At the same time, any sort of coding assignment we give is easily defeated by AI—so that’s not useful either and there a

Hiring devs is perfectly fine if you don't look for F# skills - just hire generally smart people, and allow them 1-2 weeks to get comfortable with F#. Make them just solve problems from project euler or something. For those who have al

F# is quite usable with AI. All AI models are perfectly capable of generating idiomatic F# code. In fact, because it has a nice type system, if you ask the AI to model the problem well with types before implementing, hallucinated bugs are a

Everything is an expression (i.e. its an actual functional programming language), and along with it comes a different way of thinking about problems. Coupled with a really good type system which has discriminated unions, you'll have mu

Apple Watch Ultra 2 - yeah it can last 2 days if you carry it with a phone, a day without a phone and limited cellular use. It does require daily charging ideally.

Cellular smartwatches allow you to leave your phone behind, and still be "somewhat" connected - e.g. allowing people to reach you during emergencies, calling a taxi, checking maps etc. It can unlock my front door, be used for pay

Yup - they can also give you migraines (or worse) if you introduce bugs into the "software", just as I was able to debug my problems away.

I used to get frequent migraine attacks - there were times when I would be down 3 days in a week, just unable to be productive. A lot of it was induced by stress. I then tried something novel - I took some LSD. I had an intense psychedelic

Nice work. Just what I need to train the non-tech ppl in my team. Wish more things were fun to learn like this.

So much negativity all the time. The fact remains that AI models are out in the public domain. If you’re unable to see how that can improve the lives of an average person, that’s a failure of imagination. Don’t let megacorps dominance preve

We use about 50 frameworks in our company. They are solid, and I would recommend them, assuming you dont want a MacBook. IMO they are the best laptops for engineers who want to use Windows or Linux. In fact, I find them to be the least repu

Both sides of the political spectrum are authoritarian. Each dominant party will do whatever in their power to hold onto it. That said, law and order is needed to sustain the population. The pop density of BD is incredible - imagine half th

In most of these movements that discipline isn’t maintained. What do you think happens when thousands of students, many of whom are discovering a city the first time in their lives, suddenly realize they can set grand things on fire? There’

It’s tanks vs sticks, the govt will prevail. In a few days we’ll all forget about this. That said, I personally believe the future of the country lies in private enterprise - not govt jobs. People in BD want these govt jobs for job security

It’s easy to encourage this when there’s nothing at stake. I personally have friends and family who are trapped and fear violent protestors as much as violent police. And when the protests die down in a few days or weeks, there will be even

A friend of mine who works in a startup in Bangladesh tells me that critical infrastructure is being set on fire indiscriminately. Buildings such as data centers. He shared videos of many such burning buildings. The country doesn’t yet have
