Great overview. I do wonder if FPGAs will make a run against modern server/GPU cluster setups for AI/ML.

Yeah I'm speaking for myself, and I'm very healthy and fit. If I were not, I'd probably be on other prescription drugs, so what's one more thing? I don't think I've taken an OTC or prescription drug in 10-15 ye

Virus is weak and has super low mortality rate (esp. if you take care of yourself and are not old or fat). Vaccine is new and w/o years of data behind it. I pick no vaccine.

100%. I am in my late 30s and have not received a vaccine since I was in middle school ... literally never sick, never got covid. There'd have to be zombies or bubonic plague to convince me, and even then, there'd be bigger fish t

Hacker news is incredibly anti-freedom and choice, its becoming a hive mind just like reddit, but with longer comments.

Porn, social media, online dating, toxic streamers, children having untethered access to perverse information ... yes, prohibition isn't the answer, we need more of these amazing things - that'll certainly lead to better outcomes

Did you just refer to porn as a niche art or right of passage for children? Yikes.

Okay, lets not ban guns or tobacco products then. People will get their fix other ways I guess.

I agree that things will be more localized depending on the company. But good recruiters should know what schools are good, but they should also be able to assess a resume that doesn't have an elite school attached to it. Obviously thi

That's not true. I worked for a big tech company with a large European presence and they 100% heavily factored in the prestige of what university you went into for hiring. Also, they do this with career fairs/college hiring - they

by Eumenes 4y ago
This is standard across the world, in professional and engineering jobs. Hiring can be filtered by where you work, what your major is, what school you went to. Not all jobs or education are made equal. Its not what I'd do, but saying,

Getting some 4 year degree does not equate to 'highly educated'. College is an extension of high school for most americans, who didn't learn much there either.

I'm a big fan of IRC and have used it for many years, but one thing I notice about younger generation of techies is, they won't tolerate poor/low tech UI/UX. I see this in gaming all the time as well ... old classic game

Cloud gaming. No thanks. This trend to requiring an internet connection to play offline games is spooky. Who TF wants that?

How would you feel if this was not a cushy white collar tech job but a blue collar job involving physical labor? Say people are slacking, not working hard, generally being lazy, while a small group does the majority of the work? Would it be

This news will only appeal to very technically minded individuals, like the HN audience. Have you seen the average persons smart phone home screens or social media feeds? They don't care about privacy one bit. Its all about comfort and

Abandoned? You know people own two homes and live in them seasonally w/o them being vandalized? Source: have a summer cabin that's never been rack sacked by vandals.

Why would an empty house not go up in value? If anything, if its unused, it'll likely require less upkeep/repairs.

So is it better to not fund it?

HSA is great for self employed, esp. if you think you'll remain so for a long time (and don't require better insurance). Tax free contributions, tax free gains, and tax free withdrawals. I have 10 years worth of maximum contributi

I don't even know what half the people do at my company. Productivity has no doubt fallen to historic lows. I def feel like 5% of the people are doing 75% of the work. I agree with the article that junior employees are not setup to suc
