For me, working through Karpathy's video series (instead of just "watching" them) helped me tremendously to understand how LLMs work and gave me the confidence to read through more advanced material, if I feel like it. But t

Don't forget the injection of ads for the basic subscription plan, Black Mirror S7/E1 vibes.

I noticed this "feature" after wondering why everyone was using "sie" instead of "du" while searching for reviews on reddit for a new graphics card I wanted to buy. This "shoving AI down your throat"

Into what? Though I have no illusions about any tech company, I trust Apple more than Samsung right now. It's all relative, not absolute.

Thats why my Samsung TV has no internet access and I'm using Apple TV instead.

Man, as an European I have the hope that this utterly bizarre and embarassing spectacle yesterday is finally waking us up and we start taking our fate into our own hands. Personally, I would do without a lot of things instead of having to w

The last couple of months, I have been studying the fundamentals of algebra using Professor Leonard's YT Channel[0]. My goal is to fill in the gaps in my knowledge before I refresh my Calculus. It takes a while to go through all this s

I started to see floaters this year. First, it scared the shit out of me, because I only have one healthy eye and starting to see this flying dots and strings was a really scary experience. It also was just really annoying. After the ophtha

Fully agree. Without HN, I wouldn't had read books like Code, Designing Data-Intensive Applications or Operating System: Three Easy Pieces (to name just a few). I'm usually a passive reader here, but I wanted to say thank you to a

Pretty cool, congrats! Can you recommend learning material about developing macOS apps with SwiftUI?

I recently got really into databases. However, coming from the "web dev world", I'm still struggling to decide whether the time invested is really worth it. From an educational point of view, it damn sure is. But in order to

Any recommendation on how to approach the course? Is it better to read the chapter in the book before you watch the lecture(s) covering the content of the chapter or vice versa?

I think apart of what has been already said, it depends on the kind of person you are. I see people with and without a degree in CS that thrive and some that do the opposite. Personally, I have been working as a software developer for the

I'm almost done with "Writing an interpreter in Go"[0] which I highly recommend. Even though it's less theoretical than the usual books in this area I learned a ton of practical stuff and a lot of things I "knew&quo

Yeah, I guess so too. Toby told in a podcast [0] that he finished an apprenticeship as "Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung". Though it's not the same as "Duales Studium" (which gives you an academic degree w

Man, that's really sad. I followed the progress of Jason's sickness on fb (he was posting about it pretty regularly) and it was really heart breaking to see how fuckin cancer chews you up and spits you out. I still have two of the

Thanks for the detailed response. Tbh that sounds pretty hard to me. I guess for people who can easily find a new job (e.g. tech) that might not be a big deal, but I feel sorry for all the people who don't have that luxury (e.g. unskil
