So I had the exact opposite experience growing up in a very rural area and take no offense to your statement. I had access to hundreds of acres of woods/farms growing up, which for a young kid was total freedom. Around 10 or 11 I was

In the video it doesn't appear to be a stall. IMO, looks like he just needed a few more feet of elevation and was in full control until the moment he hit the water. I could be wrong though.

It looked like he did a loop at less than 1000 feet to me, and there was a fireball, even in the water, which makes me feel like there was fuel on board. Seemed like he was just pushing the limits like he's probably done his whole lif

It's worth dropping the Danish film Riders of Justice in this thread for people who haven't seen it. In the film, a facial recognition algorithm is created, and after some tinkering with the accuracy they are able to find who the

FWIW, I remember the games I was really into fairly well. I'm not sure if I'll ever forget the Red Dead Redemption 2 main quest line. Games like Halo 3 are a bit harder for me though, because it's a lot of the same grinding

The first time I watched The Rise of Skywalker it was just too much being thrown at my brain. The second and third watch was much easier to process of course. I'm a big fan of older movies and have noticed the shot length difference

HN has always been notoriously negative, and wrong a lot of the time. One of my personal favorites is Brian Armstrong's post about an exciting new company he was starting around cryptocurrency and needing a co-founder... Always a good

Unlimited possibilities. And more is coming - we're only in the beginning stages of this tech. Truly exciting stuff.

I have algos running that trade for me in personal accounts. Of course it's not the volume that the big shops are trading, but the whole "algo traders/market makers bad" thing is always a fun one to see. Finding anomali

Low hanging fruit that seemed somewhat common back in the day was not verifying prices of items on the backend. So a somewhat technical user could edit the price in the html field of the item to be $10 instead of $100. Between this and eve

It's not always black and white. I have a high end Garmin and pay quite a bit for personal training. Personally if I was forced between the two, I'd pick the Garmin and all the functions/training regimens it contains. Howe

I conducted a test last year with GPT 4. The idea was simple. Feed Powell's official fed meeting speeches and give a rating between 1 and 10, 10 being more dovish and 1 being more hawkish. I fed around 7 or so Fed speeches and kept

200k TC for an intern is a nice cherry pick in SF or Silicon Valley maybe, but definitely at the extreme top end of the spectrum. Coastal money definitely doesn't speak for the rest of the US - there is a huge amount of space between

I agree wholeheartedly, and sorry about losing your sister. It's too bad we won't see the results of Florida's new law for several years to come.

This cracks me up. I had the privilege of working on a team where about 5 or 7 of us out of 10 were extremely picky about code and documentation, all different nationalities. We would sometimes argue about a word in a doc for hours and did

Late 30s here and can confirm. Went until I was 16 with zero technology besides Yahoo chat, MSN Messenger and Newgrounds.com. Then got a flip phone which I used mainly for my pizza delivery job. Other than that, hung out with friends and

There is a diverse mix here and always has been - it's one of the best things about this place. Rolling up a statement to apply to a whole group of people is defined as stereotyping and not the highest version of critical thought. To

This is funny, but sadly true... I just told someone yesterday if lawmakers truly cared about all of this they'd ban all social media. Lobbyists and lawmakers will be eating well until then.

This is a common issue with Discord as well, and is especially prevalent in the crypto space groups.

I don't disagree with the overall point you are arguing (AKA I agree with you), but comments like this are of no help to the conversation. I get a strong sense from this and other comments in this thread that you might be anti-America

Breath of fresh air to see this at the top. The focus on leetcode always confused me, and this is coming from someone who took all the fancy graduate level algo courses.

All true. As a sidenote, in the Midwest rural area I grew up in there has been an extreme amount of growth in the past few years, with just about every big tech name buying land in the area and building data centers and plants, getting dec

Thanks for that link. I'd love to see how the author factors in inflation with the thought experiment. Reviews on Amazon don't mention this at all unfortunately.
