It's not as much "lol" as what's implied, you have to read between the lines a bit. Their example is Qatar, a tiny elite supported by slaves. And in the brave new world we'll have a tiny elite supported by AI slav

Apple UX: "intuitive" features you have to discover via some random video reel. Of course you have to drag your messages sideways to see when they were sent, that's Good UX! Sprinkle with crashes and bugs that are never fixe

TLAs are not basic knowledge, or expert knowledge. They are expertise theater.

They dont seem to actually last 10 years though. Sure, in an old Prius you only care about the battery not being completely shorted out, and the price of battery degradation is slightly worse fuel economy. However, every time I look at ren

So in other words, they can make their LLM disagree with the preferred narrative of the current US administration? Inconceivable! Note that the value of $current_administration changes over time. For some reason though it is currently fas

The whole parasocial aspect of it is what feels fake, distasteful, and icky. The very idea of gaining power in the modern world is through parasocial relationships. Think Taylor Swift: her fans follow every single one of her updates even t

Yes, by all means, build and promote your product. Planning out interactions according to 3 fake personas is still fake though. Not that I have any better ideas, we all have to engage with this nonsense and waste our lives producing it. I

I don't hear any apologies out of Israel. Also, you may want to look up the definition of genocide. The parts of Ukraine that Russia took are almost 90% Russian ethnically. Somehow you don't hear any calls for Ukraine to return t

Not getting thousand line AI slop PRs from resume builders who are looking for a "LLVM contributor" bullet point before moving on is a net positive. Lack of such contributors is a feature, not a bug. And you can't go and tur

Yup. Certain people get their panties in a tizzy every time an R president gets elected. Dubya was the antichrist, remember? It's just the same old tune all over again.

But these US wages aren't actually all that great anymore. The vast majority of people will have nothing to show for their decade of working in tech other than a bad back, carpal tunnel, and a neurosis. The cost of living in the Bay A

A used granola bar cannot be resold. I hope. A used house, on the other hand, is perfectly fine. So, apologies, but that argument is a previously used granola bar :)

It doesn't matter to these people. They are so drunk on their feelings of superiority that they'll dismiss anyone with first-hand experience as an "apologist", a "foreigner" or whatever. They need to perform

I think you hit downvote before really considering my point. There is simply no way that a change of 0.5% is significant - no matter your politics. Fluctuations of this magnitude happen with or without Trump every few years.

The point about housing is quite clearly false. There are around 147 million residential housing units in the US. And there are around 1.4 million built each year (this number fluctuates a lot: it was a third of this during the mortgage c

Yes, do this. No unit tests, integration only. Your competitors will thank you for this blunder. Why is it a blunder? Well, you just slowed down your edit-compile-run cycle by about 10x, and debugging when things go wrong (and it's

When politicians of certain stripes wanted to spend money on renaming SF schools to atone for "past trauma" and canceling math because it's "not equitable" - that somehow wasn't a travesty. Spending some money

Teslas also tend to attract people who hate driving and are bad at it. Yes, this is anecdotal, but - several friends and acquaintances said something along the lines of "my Tesla is the best, self-driving helps so much, I hate driving

With HTTP/2 multiplexing all of those requests can be made in a batch without round trips. And complexity of caching? An Etag done right is content-based. There's no logic to worry about. It's really unfortunate that this s

There are cache times other than 0 and infinity. Ideally the XSLT would change rarely, as would things like nav menus. So "relatively short" could mean several minutes to an hour. And with ETags the resource could be revalidated

It did make all those requests, but only because the author set up caching incorrectly. If the cache headers were to be corrected, site.xsl, pages.xml, and posts.xml would only need to be downloaded once.

The paranoid thinking can go on for infinitely many levels. Consider the possibility that all the fearmongering about Russian bots is just that - fearmongering, and it's created by the actual adversary. But what if this is somethin

I guess the kind of hubris that the author calls out applies to writing just as well as code. However, you may be right that this post is not likely to have a lot of engagement, and the problem is lack of shared context. The average HN vis

My version of "why Amazon is like this" is simpler. Think of their Supreme Leader. Good guy or a-hole? That one is easy to answer. Now, what kind of right-hand man he's going to click with? What will their lieutenants be
