This seems to just be a rewrite of https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-ai-hiring-freeze-fda6b3c4 . Can we replace the link?

thanks for hosting the model! i created an account to try it out, you started emailing me with “important notice: low account balance - action required” and now it seems like there’s no way for me to unsubscribe or delete my account. is t

Yep, very odd, my guess would be this was sent to the reporter by their comms contact at Softbank and they literally copy/pasted it. For context, here’s the full paragraph. The positive framing (“a GAIN”, and “significantly less…”) ma

It’s fine to view the hiring process from recruiters’ perspective, but man, some parts of this article. > The job she posted listed its selling points — the business had 400 percent growth a year, the backing of a legendary venture capit

The article mentions high gas fees impacting refunds, and I was wondering what the extent of that impact was. The article doesn’t answer that question, but it does link to a tweet which links to a page of stats about ConstitutionDAO that d

Thanks for leaving the post up and for responding here. I’m curious if and how your approach to writing has changed since you wrote the piece. What strikes me about the piece is the certainty and lack of caveats in it, especially given it

This has been my experience as well. At a prior job, we experimented with deferring reporting/tracking functions until the browser was idle, and then firing the remaining tracking events on unload and found that a non-trivial number o

If I were you, I’d go with Vanguard index funds, which have the lowest fees in the industry. I would pick a fund/funds that matches my risk target/preferences (e.g. equity funds riskier than bonds, small cap riskier than large ca

Congrats on your product. I'm curious what lead to you all creating this product, after you spent "years working at data brokers." Perhaps this is too harsh an analogy, but how is this different than someone who spends years

I’d recommend High Performance Browser Networking by Ilya Grigorik[0]. It’s definitely less in-depth/comprehensive than some of the other suggestions here but I’ve found it to be a really clear, accessible exploration of networking co

Have to briefly chime in here to partially defend Rails :) I agree that immutable data structures > mutable data structures, and while I don't have experience working with Elixir, it's high on my list of new technologies to pla

I don't have much to add about the behavior of Repl.it's CEO, but I find it amusing that he used "demanding" as a pejorative for the intern. "Entitled" or "unreasonable", sure, those characteristics

Last time I checked on Robinhood (and maybe they've changed it since then), when you want to buy options on their app, their UI gives you two options: "I think the stock is going to go up" and "I think the stock is going

I generally agree with the advice in this article; I feel like a lot of the pushback here is people who don’t like the system this post is describing. That’s totally fair! I share many of those complaints. However, in my experience the p

Yes, I didn’t mean to make that implication (although I see now I could have phrased it better). My main point was that this injustice seems especially egregious given the sacrifices made by med students/residents/etc. during the

Horrifying. The Dartmouth med school faculty identifies 17 students they suspect as cheating. Nearly half of these they eliminate as false positives. Rather than grappling with the obvious unreliability of a methodology with at least a 5

Kinda surprised about the negativity here. It wasn’t too long ago that getting CI/CD set up for a small project would either be non-trivial and/or expensive. The value I get (for free!) from Github Actions is pretty substantial.

Uber was using Node for a good portion of their backend services back when I worked there (2016-2017). I’m not sure what they’re doing now, but when I left there was a project to move a lot of stuff to Go. IIRC, the performance of Node was

I had the same reaction. Yes, it’s good to try to find meaningful work (a point well made my the author). Selling your Harvard diploma doesn’t seem to have any relationship to that point, other than giving an excuse to repeatedly remind t

Can't point 1 be used to justify any unethical job that pays a lot? What's the point of having a job board with "ethical" jobs then?

I definitely sympathize with the author's dissatisfactions. It's difficult to find meaningful, interesting work that pays well, and when you find yourself sacrificing one part of that equation, it can be very disheartening. Howev
