Forking and this package can be useful if you know that the unsafe code is really unsafe and have no hope of making it better. But I wouldn't use this often. I'd be willing to bet that you'd lose all performance benefits of u

It's really surprising to see that in HN. I personally fucking love rockets and what he did. But for the past years made me hate the man. My guess is that most people here are center-right wing, or at least a majority of HN isn't

Ioniq is so fucking amazing. It's also always the top EV seller ex. Tesla. It's the best parts of Tesla mixed with the best qualities of Korean manufacturing. Volkswagen's ID5s are also very good since last year. Many of the

Remember that... we don't have numbers yet from Tesla in Europe after Musk did the Sieg Heil. I live in Europe and people absolutely went batshit crazy about it, not only in Germany. People really despise that gesture. I'm willing

You have no control over that. If you are thrown into a bad project, you will rot with them. Or turn the situation around by using your own expertise. That's what being a leader means, you deal with the ambiguity, is paid more, but if

It doesn't matter. US companies will want to have consumers and Europe has them, so they would like to offer their services in the EU. AI hardware is also produced in China. Americans don't want to talk about it, but Huawei has go

Just do Andrew NG's course. It will show you the maths, you'll build simple neural nets (from maths!) that can read digits and scale it from there. While doing it, you may struggle with some of the maths, just take a deep breath a

None of those, First, you build something that fixes a customer problem that they are willing to pay for. Whether it uses AI or not, the customer doesn't care. The only thing that matters is the value you add and your ability to sell a

Leetcode and coding competition problems were never once thought to be a good representation of our ability or skill in the Software Engineering area. It just became really important in the last decade or so with Big Tech using them to filt

I believe you should pay for a cursor license and learn how to use it. You'll quickly notice how limited AI is. It can generate some code, but often it's just boilerplate similar to what Frameworks and Libraries do. It is far from

Mark Zuckerberg is a lizard, he made the right call to bow to Trump. Now Meta will continue to destroy the world's mental health until the situation worsens more. Trump was a hope that this Meta non-sense would end, but both became all

The economist has said this for decades. Meanwhile the US life expectancy has been decreasing. And countries with huge governments like France have been doing just fine. Also running a similar deficit than US. Even being libertarian, I have

Not only this, Meta will need to fight many governments around the world with its new non-fact checking policy. I bet the EU and other countries will start giving them more fines. Would be nice to see some competition though, that isn'

The US is doing everything to break up from it's very long-time partners. Soon we will get to know the consequences.

It isn't as impressive as they'd like you to believe. They fine tuned it for that test. What we are seeing is a marketing trick to keep markets and investors excited about AI. It's a trillion dollar industry for NVidia and ot

I'm also from Germany (a long time) foreigner and this story touches my heart. My whole life I've worked on places that work performance was everything in software engineering, many toxic places etc. I hope at some point I can chi

I don't like it, I was expecting something new that replaces Git with a new idea about versioning. I can already work extremely fast in Git by using bash aliases and my workflow. This might be useful for those starting out.

I hope somebody pays 100.000 pro subscriptions and uses AI to request Sora to generate videos 24/7. Maybe Elon? Even if they use queues, I'm sure they are running at a loss and the GPU time is going to cost 100x more than what the

Right now the economy is fine, but there's a huuuuge likelihood of a recession. Why? We just had a rate cut and in the past 30 years a recession happened after max. 2 quarters after the that. If you see news from 2006 you will see peop

It might go longer than expected, but always those bubbles tend to pop in 3-5 years, I'd say we're still in the middle of the cycle. Read Sequoia's "AI's $600B Question" post for more information about the mone

This is not accurate. OpenAI and other companies could do it not entirely because of transformers but because of the hardware that can compute faster. We've had upgrades to hardware, mostly led by NVidia, that made it possible. New LLM

It's not a rational choice. By using statistics on startup bankruptcy data, you'd come to the conclusion that it isn't worth it. But some people like exciting things, to dedicate themselves fully to something, even if that so

They also added lots of technical debt as I'm sure they used the AI to generate tests and some of those tests could be actually testing bugs as the correct behavior. I've already fixed a couple of tests like this, where people cle
