This used to be true during the zero interest rate days when you could leapfrog up the chain but I think the times have changed. By all means keep your eyes open outside of your org, but it's increasingly hard to even get a resume seen

They really are being built and used commercially. Probably incentives play a part in this, but their numbers are slowly increasing, so it's not totally vaporware (of course we don't need new articles every ~6 month talking about

TLDR: awareness of the SV "rationalist" polycule has breached containment and normies are reading about it now. [0] Maybe a "better" source is the NY Post article [1]. The information itself isn't really news - it&#

> Reading HN, I 100% understood “private” to be marketing copy for “local inference”. Pretty ironic then that here, Mozilla is specifically labeling their "we send it all to the cloud" service as "private."

Agreed, I think that's the big selling point: a private screen you can take with you. But the Steam Frame specifically is not well suited for this. Something more minimal like the Big Screen Beyond 2 would be better, and XR-type glasse

My question as well. Why is this happening in ci/ci? Why aren't contributors performing the automated review and correction step locally? The only answer I can imagine is that it supports reviewing patches from people who aren&#x2

The race/flight sim market is still going strong, but I guess it's the exception that proves the rule. It's extremely difficult to make a non-vehicle-based game that actually plays well in VR.

Admittedly my VR glasses are older, but for me this is a really terrible experience. If a game lacks native VR support, it's far more comfortable to just use my widescreen monitor in the real world.

Hoka (like many other brands with running lineages) was careful not to devalue its brand. Nike has some quality products, but they also consistently released garbage products and stamped a swoosh on them. So there's the squeeze: people

I honestly feel like you're making this sound more complicated than it needs to be. I get what I would describe as very good results from GPT 5.6 on my projects. There are some methodologies that can improve things for me versus just Y

Perhaps he's quite nice over zoom, but since very few of us are going to meet him in that context, the rest of us are left to judge him by what he posts. And as they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Based

Yes. But although they can't know "why" a specific "wrong" answer was selected, the response is often still informative, and it can highlight real weaknesses in process or code structure that should be addressed any

Exactly. If their productivity fantasies are real, the precarious (and already very anti-worker) balance between capital and labor immediately disintegrates. Serious solutions to this would look like nationalizing tech companies, mandating

He leveraged his past success as a web developer to get into online culture war punditry. Now he's a prominent race-baiting reactionary. There's a sort of cult of personality around him at this point. His acolytes follow him for h

The whole point of Omarchy is for people who want to use Arch Linux but have it configured the way DHH does. So I think it's a little different. Anybody using an opinionated respin should understand what they're getting.

The pessimism is justified. This is the way most Americans want our country to be run. It's unambiguous. Most Americans either actively supported this administration, or didn't mind it enough to even do the minimum (which is to vo

Yeah, and how long / how many tokens do these attacks take? The user has to send the agent off into these weeds intentionally, or else be totally asleep at the wheel while something goes very far off the rails.

Attempts to find plausibly deniable rationales for this administration's anti-immigrant policies other than "gutter racism" are ridiculous. Occam's razor. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them. Nativism is p

I have trouble imagining it. The early rails community was very welcoming at the time. The things he now openly states were simply not welcome in most polite society at the time. I'm not sure DHH really held the same views back then, e
