I love the work planetscale does on keeping this type of content accurate yet accessible. Keep it up!

Lost me un the first section. It's like when anti-vaxers say vaccines are bad because they were developed unethically. It's just a bad argument. Also, I learned about Bitcoin when it was worth 8 USD and got obsessed with the tech

The most useful way to leverage LLMs for me has been as "content fillers". I'm a software engineer, and work with a rather large code base. Some parts are rarely touched, and loading the context into my brain whenever I need

I get that feeling too. I have the Samsung Galaxy buds3 pro. They seem to be worse than my Bose 700. After wearing them for a while with NC, I feel like I have to take them off or turn the sound louder. I defaulted to using them with NC off

It clearly says the most watched talks, so yes. The author mentions in the article "from the conferences I follow"

I mostly loved mine... While it lasted. I owned a 12th gen, and it ran really well. The stories about running hot, draining battery while sleeping and the lack of firmware updates are all true. I could live with that. I live in Argentina, a

I don't know the space well enough, but I think the missing piece is that YC 's investment horizon is typically 10+ years. Not only LLMs could get massively better, but the chip industry could be massively disrupted with the right

I've been trying out the new Android app. I know it's still beta, but it sucks big time. I'm a fan and paying user of kagi, just wanted to point that out in case any kagi developer is reading :) among other things, it randoml

What type of coding interview do you find more valuable for the interviewer? Algo code interview always looked like the interviewer trying to show off to me. Guess it depends on the requirements of the job, though...

Wow, I could have written that exact comment myself. Those were the happy startx, after you got the monitor sync rates right. The myth went that if you got them wrong, you could fry the monitor. I remember that suse package came with a coup

Exact same experience here. Been fiddling with nixos for quite a while, but never got comfortable with .nix or flakes. The base concepts keep escaping my mind, I have to revisit every time I have to configure something new and I just got ti

How would you define that one great manager? What personality traits, behavior, skills made that person stand out? I'm curious as I'm getting more managerial responsibilities.

You have more control on the data. Isn't that why you self hosted it in the first place?

Disclaimer: didn't read the paper yet. But the assertions are "Feel X% more Y", which is hardly hard data. Seems like the methodology was just interviews?

Why is that? I recently bought a Sonos after getting plenty of recommendations. Even though it sounds great, I hate that they dropped support for Google assistant. Also, the Sonos voice commands can't handle Spotify or YouTube music. K

Exact same experience here! particularly, if I move my jaw backwards with my jaw muscles, the tinnitus would get worse. Never better, though. I do feel the same sometimes, that doctors are not listening hard enough to what we are saying. I&

I'm not sure that translates very linearly. Most of the chess YouTube "stars" are not even GMs. Most of the viewers are hardly good players, so what you can learn from an IM is astronomical. Charisma and good at teaching are

As a long time Linux user, it's always felt kind of unjust that all good Linux software is ported to other os, but there is no reciprocity. I do understand all the nuances, but Apple and especially MS seem to get a lot out of the GNU&#

That's a completely new take for me on how things went down. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a discussion that can be held maturely, and evolve in the course of a couple of months, with the board trying to settle the argument, or putting pressure on Sam to leave. The MO just looks ridiculous.

Agreed. isn't that why strongly typed languages made a comeback?

Is there a well established python stack for load testing and profiling? Like, I would like to load test a python web application, then use some analysis tool to understand what part of the stack is eating the CPU cycles and/or RAM.

Wasn't this something that Oracle pushed aggressively like in the 80s or 90s and then everyone agreed it was a maintainability living hell? Is this a thing again for some reason I'm missing?

Curious to know which Spanish "blend" you are most accustomed to... For me it was like instant ROFL.

Who scrutinizes the banks they make business with? To me, that is exactly the role of the regulators. Make sure the banking system is sound, and if you get the license to run a bank, you do it under certain rules that will protect depositor

I almost see this as a positive thing, if true / confirmed. Divorce is not by itself a bad thing. My life definitely improved in many ways after I divorced. I probably remained in a somewhat toxic environment longer than I should have
