Honestly in day to day programming I find data types & associated APIs are so so much more important than algorithms. I would rather work with a flexible data type with suboptimal performance than a brittle data type that maybe squeezes

Personal opinion: MCP for data retrieval is a much much better use case than MCPs for execution. All these tools are pretty unstable and usually lack reasonable security and protection. Purely data retrieval based tasks lower the risk barri

Are the tags themselves AI generated? they are quite funny in how specific they get e.g. "gaming culture" as the tag. Also some tags include quotes and other don't haha. But yeah you should respond to the other comment asking

After bouncing off of Unity the first few times, I finally decided to commit to it after trying out some of the JS game frameworks (like Phaser) Absolutely worth it, have made lots of games in Unity just for myself that feel pretty polished

In a non-smug kind of way sometimes I just wonder if they types of problems I work on are just harder (at least for an LLM) than a lot of people. Currently working at a FAANG on some very new tech, have access to all the latest and greatest

I agree there are good examples of 90% being good enough but what you purposed doesn't sound like a good one. This assumes that AI can't also introduce new bugs into the code causing a negative. A case of 90% being good enough sou

The setback of YOLO architectures is that they use predefined object categories that are a part of the training process. If you want to adapt YOLO to a new domain you need to retrain it with your new category label. This work presents a ver

The supply and purchase of Dairy in Canada is centralized through the government. Government sets a supply goal and buys that amount from farmers and then resells to the grocers / public. It's been this way for a long time. The ta

I think the whole "AI will replace developers" thing makes sense to people in silos. I want to do X I can ask AI to help me with X. But the thing is that as businesses grow and scale one person cannot even keep in their head all t

I would have to agree, this feels like fake science. They don't even seem to really present a reasonable initial problem. This seems like a man / women / skinny / fat detector. If you just classified people into those ca

Isn't the rav4 hybrid the best selling non truck in the US? The comments on this story amaze me with how inaccurate people are about Toyota hybrids.

Was going to say this, I can't remember the exact figure but it was something crazy like 20% of net profit was from that deal. TODO: find a link to the original article that mentioned it.

What an odd conclusion considering how many people get into car accidents when backing out of spaces. Reducing the chance of a car accident by like 5% would be incredibly beneficial to everyone.

There really isn't need to share misinformation on HN. The PM has slight larger responsibility the a regular MP. I'm not a big fan of JTs policies over the years but they were done via parliamentary support.

Anyone else get the sense there is less vibes involved in vibe coding than people let on? As in there is probably a significant amount of intervention at each step that they just gloss over at the end. I did my own experiment in vibe coding

I've found in my career so far estimates are very useless but "key dates" can be very useful. A key date could be an investor demo, marketing launch, actual physical launch if you are in hardware, etc, most importantly someth
