So you can read Hacker News on your watch. I find myself doing this randomly when I don’t have access to my phone (believe it or not, it happens for legit reasons) through something called ųBrowser. It’s probably masochistic but it works in

Not entirely unexpected given that these models have 2x - 5x more parameters than the 120b gpt-oss model. It’s impressive their performance gets so close given the size!

The study that said devs were 19% less productive was flawed in a number of ways: small sample size, poorly chosen tasks, no prior training on AI tools. The science is by no means conclusive. A joint Harvard / MIT study found developer

All 15 comments (so far) on this are by green accounts since it was posted 3 hours ago. This makes me mildly suspicious. Edit: All accounts have been registered since this post went live.

Excuse me! If that truly is the case, then why are you sending out 418 status codes?

I don’t know if it’s AI, but where I live in the Bay Area, Waste Management spies on the contents of our recycling bins with cameras when the truck picks them up. I have gotten warning emails with evidence of some transgression or another a

I lived in a semi-rural area with some foothills behind our property growing up. I distinctly remember that our neighbor had a number of different cats over the years. They were never around that long. He always named them _C.B._ I never th

My house has never been cleaner. I have time to catch up on chores that I normally do during the weekend. Dishes, laundry, walk the dog more. It seems silly but it’s opened up a lot of extra time for some of this stuff. Heck, I even play my

git worktrees optimize how data is shared across multiple directories. So, you’re not cloning and duplicating a bunch of code on your machine and just referencing data from the original .git folder. The only downsides I’ve seen: 1. For JS p

I work for a tech company you’ve definitely heard of. I use the “llm” tool every single day. You may not know it, and that’s okay, but Simon’s tools are an immense help to tons of developers using LLMs. I know it’s fun and trendy to hate on

I did a system design interview awhile back using Excalidraw. I really enjoyed it (though I also frequently use it for normal work stuff, so was familiar with it).

But the amount of time saved because one could vibe code it rather than search through Google’s terrible results is immense and a benefit in and of itself.

Maybe this is a blind spot for me, but my inclination is to think it doesn’t matter? Only because the company has already made you an offer in the first place, ergo they see your value and are already making a bet on you. Has there ever bee

> say “I'm looking for $150K to $160K…” I’ll defer to your experience on this but I am under the impression that giving a range was a bad idea because a company can always lowball you: “oh, you said you were okay with 150K, why are

There’s also the phenomenon of intra-industry trade. One big example is natural gas, which the US exports to Canada and Mexico, while paradoxically importing natural gas from Canada. Beef and pork are another example I can think of though,

I just commented about the same exact thing relating to my wife. Even down to 20+ siblings! Like, it’s so common that I’m not even shocked to hear others with this experience. As it turns out, there were a lot of sketchy clinics preying upo

This exact scenario happened to my wife. Grew up thinking her dad was her dad and that she was of some certain ancestry. I remember her and I both spitting into a tube in our SF apartment in San Francisco in 2012 and mailing them off. A few

They are for sure going to lock this down. I’ve gone through $25 USD in API credits in a single afternoon with Claude Code (I love it, but that thing is thirsty for dollar bills). I’ve been reluctant to try this sort of thing out because

To be fair, a prompt fed into a generative tool _could_ be considered an artist's creative expression. I wonder about something like this[0]. So much awesome engineering went into it. And the guy is clearly an artist and considers hims

Oof, this gets into all sorts of weird legal grey areas. - All of our phones do a bunch of computational photography where AI tooling improves a photo in various ways. In that case, is any photo taken by a modern phone not copyrightable? -

I have some VS Code extension (errr... not sure which) that faintly inlines the git blame result on each line of code you're working on. I find it kind of handy.

Sometimes you don't know which commit actually caused the problem. e.g., you realize that something broke A/B test logic on Friday. Sure, there are Jira tickets, but that's slow and annoying to dig through. There are commit m

I like the blank slate analogy. I'm in the same boat. I have tens of thousands of tweets (why, oh why) but personally have no desire to move them over. I realize that's important for some people. For me, it's enough to just d

Pointing out this one error is reductive and greatly simplifies the profound effect that LLMs (and research around them) are having across a wide range of industries, unlike the metaverse and NFTs.

This made me curious, so I just took a look on eBay. My 4070 Ti that I bought (new, oops) this past December has appreciated 20 - 25%! At least according to what people have them listed for... no idea if anyone is actually buying them at th

The example was in React but I don’t see how that prevents potentially using this with other frameworks or languages. That said, I feel like this is learning something like CoffeeScript. You have to learn all this language specific syntax (
