Hi Hamel, thanks for releasing this. Slightly OT, but do you have any advice for someone who wants to work on/with LLMs at a tech company? How can a fullstack engineer transition to work on LLMs? How do I get the attention of some of t

Slightly off topic: I'm interested in taking part in the Vesuvius challenge[0], but I don't have a background in ML, just a regular web developer. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get started? I planned to get some backgroun

Don't live tweet your HN submission, it's a shitty way to get followers to upvote the submission even if you didn't mean to do that. Next time, save your tweets for 12+ hours after submission and post it on twitter.

1. Give them flexibility eg- work timings, wfh. 2. Pay above market rates and promote when it's deserved. 3. Allow them to retain IP of their side projects. People who want to build startups will eventually leave, but you can delay it

Sigh, here we go again. The top comment (rightfully) calling out a poorly thought out/worded sentence (or an incorrect statement) instead of discussing the real issue that the post is about.

The apologists support a right wing party known as the BJP which is in power. These people are not paid by the government or anything, it's that they genuinely believe in the hindutva ideology and this is the most concerning part. Good

What source do you want? The app literally asks for your phone number, name, profession. Which of these details make you think "anonymous" has any meaning at all.

1. It's not anonymous in any way, just some bullshit marketing speak. 2. These mfers are building the app for feature phones as well. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/software/aarogya-s...

I don't think people realize the gravity of what's being done. While google and apple design nice apis which can do contact tracing while maintaining privacy, that's not how contact tracing will be implemented as shown by thi

I am interested in working as a software engineer at Gitlab, what do you feel is a good path to land a job at the company? I plan to start contributing meaningful changes to gitlab itself and have a couple of side projects to show. What els

The company I work for uses Outlook/teams for booking meetings and it works incredibly well. The scheduling part you talked about is almost exactly like the scheduling assistant feature in outlook and teams. Sorry if this comes across

What do you think about cloudflare's vpn offerings? 1.1.1.1 and cf access?

by mr_puzzled 7y ago
On their patreon goal of $1600/month : "We can start working on an easy-to-use mobile app that let people deploy their own VPN server without touching a terminal window." Damn, that would be so cool.

Really cool service. Using warp on my phone and it surprisingly makes a big difference in locations with spotty 4G. Couple of questions : * I read that cloudflare generates a unique id for each install and the purpose was to track referrals

Just remembered, you now work at cloudflare! I remember reading your blog post about joining cloudflare, so how's it going so far?

While I agree that ads are not a good way to fund foss development, what I find disgusting is the hate directed towards the maintainer for trying out this experiment and towards the project itself. This sort of hate is what pushes good peop

I used java for competitive coding competions, so I know the basics, but I've never used any frameworks in java before. Having experience in web development and knowing the basics of java, I thought I would be productive in spring boot
