I don't think its purely fashion here. React Native always incurred a bit of a performance & UX penalty, but many people decided that this tradeoff was worth it for the increase in product development velocity. LLMs change the trad

Completely unrelated to Origin, but are there plans for closer integration of Graphite with Cursor? A combined product would be a very compelling product, but not much seems to have changed since the acquisition.

Yes believe it or not in the US you can also buy things from fabricators in Shenzhen.

Thank you. I live in Japan and it is incredibly frustrating to hear people here talk about the exchange rate as if it is some temporary but unfortunate weather condition, rather than the downstream effect of a generation of terrible policy

I think what the person you're replying to is referring to is the fact that, in contrast to the US, many senior politicians in China literally have engineering backgrounds, or at least engineering degrees. Although this has actually be

Alright, but DocuQuest is actually a really good idea. "DocuQuest: A platform that leverages LLMs to transform and simplify complex technical documentation into interactive, user-friendly learning experiences tailored for developers an

Are you in North America? I’ve found this to be true in the US, but not in Europe or Asia.

I mean, the sitting President was shilling cars on the White House lawn and runs an active meme coin bribery slush fund. This is not slightly behind Western Europe. This is miles behind any developed country. China may be corrupt, but Xi Ji

What makes you think that people eat healthier and get more exercise? In the US at least, Obesity is on the rise, people eat more meat than ever before, and life expectancy is basically flat over the past decade.

I dont know if this is just baader-meinhof at work or the fact that AI is so prominent in cultural discourse at the moment, but I feel like I am seeing Diamond Age references everywhere I look

If you’re convinced by the materials shared, you may want to consider editing your original content. It’s currently the most-upvoted comment, and is materially incorrect.

This is such a cynical, keyboard-warrior take. Why do you feel the need to drag down someone else's positive and impactful contribution? No one is stopping you from creating a card game with women as the heroes.

Either thinking they can build something better internally, thinking the new thing doesn't matter, or realizing that it does matter but not having the ability to move fast and commercialize it. e.g. Microsoft circa 2000 didn't thi

Tips are mandatory in France? This is news to me. I’ll sometimes round up to the nearest 5, but nothing like the US.

With a promotion like "terrible, terrible Jefferson Starship video," I needed to go watch it. That really was just a completely incoherent mess. But the guys with eyeballs on their heads were there. https://www.youtube.

There's probably a lot of noise in the data. Off the top of my head, climate (whether roads are exposed to freeze-thaw cycles) and population density/clustering (how many miles of road do you need to maintain per person), are prob

Did you mean to write LLMs instead of ML? Aren't traditional NLP techniques a subfield of ML?

Hahaha I’m glad I’m not the only one. I can’t find it now, but I’m sure I’ve seen a snarky PM game here on HN before. Thought it might be the sequel

I only know Curb as a booking app for regular taxis. It’s generally less expensive than Lyft/Uber in Manhattan. I’m not aware of any connection it has to Waymo though.

Two questions: 1. Can you point me to where NPR said “snitches get stitches” 2. Which police departments precisely were defunded?

Sure we have. Climate change, radioactivity, and micro plastics are three major challenges that we have very much engineered ourselves into, and do not appear to be able to engineer ourselves out of.

While I agree with you, I think there's a bit of nuance that is worth considering. For post-paid subscriptions, e.g. AWS, you've already consumed the service and you are obligated (legally and ethically) to pay for it when the bil

Completely off-topic, but do you like prisma, and how are you using it (scale, complexity, solo vs team, etc). I toyed around with it a while back, and it looked potentially awesome, but different enough that I was worried about using it on

What MS demo are you referring to? I like chatgpt way more than new Bing’s GPT interface.
