Really curious how much can be attributed to using an ORM.

I get the impression overall they have massively under invested in web infra, security, and privacy. The AI is one thing, running a performant, secure, and private web platform is its own thing. I really get the impression this is the resul

Performance per watt on an M2 is better than anything else you can buy. Barely generates heat. Considering for $600 each and I don’t need to spec anything out and can just drive to the Apple Store any time I need a few more and it’s really

Mission accomplished I guess? Utterly soulless and boring - for a computer no less - but if that’s what they wanted, sure.

Also, totally missing the entire point of the sorry that seemingly silly and unimportant things are, in fact, the most important of all. 0/10 take, please revisit source material.

Kinda fascinating, it almost surgically removes the entire human interest angle which is the soul of the story that makes it land so strongly. This summary is flat and boring, like a summary of a quarterly SEC filing.

iMessage is a huge part of Apple growth in the USA, as the needle has just flipped to over 50% of US users on iOS I think it will rapidly accelerate. Not being on iMessage for many Americans is MUCH stranger than not using Facebook.

I think you’re vastly overestimating the degree to which the us government wants to keep them here, and I’d be far from surprised to see caps put in place for Chinese student visas within the next five years.

Once you obtain subject mastery you just need the read the abstracts. To get a cold start look for a “survey”, “literature review”, or “systematization of knowledge” papers. Those organize a lot of papers, check out the ones that look cool

It hasn’t been legal since 2009, and there’s only a handful of enforcement actions. EU regulators are a joke.

I’ve got a stack of 24 Mac minis, $600 a pop. With barely any power draw, and killer compute, it’s a steal.

HN tends to be a place where many technical experts explain complicated things succinctly because they know the audience here has a certain baseline of knowledge. I scrolled down until I found this question (as I have the same "huh, w

It seems his perfect music platform is Quboz, which is fantastic as a music enthusiast, and I love it, but it’s overkill for most people. Back in the gatefold vinyl days how many people were saying “oh wow my favorite recording engineer wor

Yea, this is a truly impressive launch. If even 25% of people who logged in just to see the new shiny thing stuck around and became a DAU that’s utterly remarkable. This framing is absurdist.

Queues are a HUGE pain in the arse though.

Multiprocessing has a lot of issues, one of which is handling processes that never complete, subprocesses that crash and don’t return, a subprocesses that needs to spawn another subprocesses, etc.

by TX81Z 3y ago
But how will I waste thousands of person hours battling subprocesses now????

by TX81Z 3y ago
It’s almost as though none of this was about business and totally about being an imagined champion for a mob of internet losers fighting a battle nobody with an ounce of sense, reason, or self respect buys into? Big brain stuff. Big brain.

It just fails basic logic, I seriously don’t understand on any level.

To paraphrase hitchhikers guide, it may be the clear minded take is Elon needs to get off the internet and you’re fine.

by TX81Z 3y ago
No, he’s not. He’s something so much better than that we don’t even have a word for it. He is a human singularity, I can’t believe we get to be alive on this earth at the same time as this man.

Sorry forgot that aspect of the master plan: increase “engagement”, raise server costs, and cut revenue in half at the exact same time to prove once and for all that traffic as a universal measure of site value is an entirely corrupt idea t

Elon had this planned out from the start, 50 steps ahead. Make an outrageously high bid on a site with no consistent profit, try desperately to get out of the deal, and fail (as a misdirection of course), alienate power users, kill 50% of r

True, there’s only one Elon to go around, we need AI to finish the job.

Academic research code is largely dogshit written as quickly as possible by amateurs, barely tested whatsoever, and the primary intended output of all such code is accumulating paper citations. A world with half as many scientific papers an

The news stuff is more a cascade of interrelated failures between governments, news outlets, and tech companies. Governments do a bad job of funding news production, newspapers didn’t take the internet seriously and made a massive mess out
