I completely agree that people are vastly undervaluing convenience, reliability and SaaS being essentially a great way to make something “someone else’s problem”. The count argument would be that building with AI will potentially give you i

I wonder if there’s a simpler and less interesting answer? That it’s just picking up on voice and style, not anything that would apply to the average non-writer? This person is a skilled writer. Part of that skill is developing a unique voi

A small warning for folks. I once was responsible for migrating a legacy business app to Azure, and the app had a local MSSQL server co-running with the app (the same pattern that Litestream is using). As have been mentioned below, the app

I don't understand all the pessimism and incredulity about the valuation. This is an acquisition to take on and disrupt Apple. Ives + Altman is perceived as a viable successor to the Ives + Jobs partnership that made Apple successful.

Sorry, I probably phrased that poorly - when you’re coding with AI, you should get in the habit of spending more time checking for security mistakes. Not sanitizing, not scoping properly. Same mistakes a junior or mid would make, but unlike

What? Note for any juniors reading this: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Does the author enjoy writing code primarily because they enjoy typing? Are they not able to have the mental discipline to think and problem solve whilst using the living hec

The fundamental problem here is lack of context - a human at your company reading that text would immediately know that Gorilla was not an insider term, and it’d stick out like a sore thumb. But imagine a new employee eager to please - you

I think the assumption is that this is going into a somewhat modern hashing algorithm like argon, bcrypt (created 1999 - that's a quarter-century ago), or scrypt with salt. With those assumptions, the calculations aren't reusable,

Rails went through a down period 2014-2020 due to several reasons: 1. React burst on the scene in 2014 2. the hyperscale FANG companies were dominating the architecture meta with microservices, tooling etc, which worked for them at 500+ eng

I had a bad experience with Action Cable + Redis (extremely high memory overhead, tons of dead redis connections), so it's a bit "fool me once" with regard to action cables. The main argument for caching in the DB (the slight

This was interesting, especially with the DCF example at the end - it’s pertinent to business sell decisions (assuming your ownership structure allows you to make a decision) should I sell at an 8x multiple of revenue, or hold at an X% grow

Thanks for doing the math and making this concrete! I think it’s interesting because: 1) it gives Waymo a higher target to shoot for - it hasn’t “solved” self-driving because its safer than the average driver. I am so impressed by Waymo, bu

I think it’s Waymo 6 accidents, not .6 if Waymo has ~1.2 accidents per 100k miles.

by lordofmoria 2y ago
Because if Waymo is clearly a better driver than average, but not better than me, it might affect my decision to use one.

by lordofmoria 2y ago
I’d like to see a comparison of Waymo to the top 10% of drivers, rather than average. I’d consider my dad a good driver - he’s driven many hundreds of thousands of miles without a crash in probably 30 years. Does such data exist?

Brilliant explanation - it puts into words and makes sense of some experiences I’ve had that are hard to articulate.

I actually disagree with this - HTML5/jsx is not a bad UI-building abstraction even for non-technical people. The things that make react complicated are syncing state with the backend, routing, etc. I'd share this with my CEO &#x

The section “Recognizing AI phishing attempts” is mournfully short, but there’s some companies out there like Jericho Security ( https://www.jerichosecurity.com ) that are working on countermeasures, at least for enterprises.

Since LLMs are bad at the null hypothesis (in this case, when a key does not exist in the source JSON), how does this prevent hallucinating transformations for missing keys?

Even if it’s meant as tongue-in-cheek, it comes off as dismissive and carries a certain smugness that I find particularly irritating. And the smugness feels especially unfounded because the author clearly has decided to double down on their

And now we have our answer. sama said that Ilya was going "to start something that was personally important to him." Since that thing is apparently AI safety, we can assume that that is not important to OpenAI. This only makes sen

the most obvious explanation for this, that requires the least competence https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor is that sama concluded that AGI cannot be achieved soon, so it's no longer a concern.

Congrats! We’ve been using Nango for about a year, mostly to handle oauth flows for us to about 7-8 integrations (Dropbox, google drive, etc) that our users can self-service connect in our app. Very stable, the team is respnsibe to handling

The Storage Access API is an unmitigated pile of garbage. Google's page on it admits as much ( https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/3pcd/storage-a... ). From Google's own page: "Work is conti
