AC is a fairly nuanced problem, and I like to see evaporative cooling getting an update. Obviously there is a chemical component here but for a ton of climates evaporative cooling is the best choice.

Great question and great article. This is an "old Internet" vibe for me

I don't understand how people go through the effort of writing an article about containers but start out with a basic incorrect statement. They don't disconnect from the OS, and in fact are dependent on the OS.

This kind of intuition is why a high school level statistics or probability class seems so so valuable. I know not everyone will use the math per se, but the concepts apply to everyday life and are really hard to just grasp without having b

I have been this person and I'm trying to move away from it. It really is a great skill to enjoy lifting others and to be the glue of a team. But there are multiple slippery slopes inherent to that role that make it difficult. You can

Seems like it wasn't writing and giving away the tool but running it as a service? I don't know the facts here, was it OSS as well a service?

OpenAI has shown that these models at full power work great, so now they're trying to optimize for cost. I've gotten similar low accuracy responses from stuff it could handle a month ago. It was kind of cringey when the model gene

Pretty cool, but it acts more like a dense gas than water. Very bouncy and not sticky enough

This is not good. Some of the time stuff is relevant if you're digging deep into it, but it's more like "uncomfortable truths we ignore for sanity." They're mostly edge cases that are unreasonable or silly to addres

This guy is like an actual billionaire. I have no idea if his fraud extends to the actual drugs he's made money from, but I wish these kinds of people were held to higher standards. Zero chance he's gonna have any legal repercussi

Sounds like a simple layer that can be retrofitted easily, but "there's nothing to hack" is absurd. The truth is that car security is bad, and any killswitch at all is something they don't come with standard.

Most of this post is trying to declare rules that just aren't true. Even Asana will deep link a modal, it's just another piece of state in the url

This is an unhelpful oversimplification. There are lots of tasks that are maintenance, and the more code your team has written the more these tasks build up. I don't know what motivates someone to pretend it is the same as writing new

Pretty sweet paper. First time the clickbait title actually turned out to be accurate

I work in web, and one guy did this for two modules in a non-critical server, just TWO before I flat out told him to stop. "What does X mean" was a common question across people who had actually seen the code before and forgotten,

Anil dash is one of those tech bros that just says shit to create content and it has no basis in experience or research, just a weak amalgamation of thoughts. This article vaguely describes moderating. Thanks for your wisdom, Anil.

It's pathetic that regulators haven't stopped this nonsense. These scams don't even last 6 months anymore, it's a joke

There are a ton of scenarios where this would be useful. Not everything has to be the new paradigm shift. It's just a tool

This is cool, love to see interesting new designs. Wish the article head touched on feasibility since market economics decide the design of the final product as much as anything, but doesn't make this design any less cool.

This is nonsense. Suicides are down in 2020. It was a virus that killed people, the deaths were reported. Conspiracy theories are so exhausting

Using "massless" instead of "structural" should tell you that this is in sales pitch mode

The biggest risk is probably a drifting focus towards improving that tool. Unless there is some overall strategy towards segmenting out pieces and moving those into OSS, finding maintainers/audience, having an actual plan around those
