I am currently working with a startup that spends a lot of time on building tests that need to be refactored every sprint because it's early stage and the assumptions change. I am shocked at the amount of developer-hours spent on tests

Was CTO for some European startups. I'll always remember one when by the time the EU VC was mid-way through its due dilligence for 500k seed, we already had some millions lined up from some US VCs no questions asked.

My 1st thought as an European, "YAY! EU startup to the moon". My 2nd thought was "n'aww, American VC". I guess that's the best we can do around here.

From what I understood of the situation, it was less esoteric and more of a your perspective is what matters, there's no such thing as objective reality. This lead to some extreme life changes in a very short period of time and after t

I have three personal data points that I want to put out here for the world: 1 - I am passionate about philosophy and human psychology. I have yet found a psychologist with whom I can talk to about the various topics I am interested in. The

In an attempt to make better use of the context window, I tested GPT-4 with Huffman encoding, both giving it an already existing corpus and encoding as well as asking it to generate the encoding for me. It failed at both tasks, which convin

Yeah. GitLens and GitHub Pull Requests and Issues are awesome. Prettier is also a close second.

I really like Visual Studio Code's Git integration. Both the default one and the GitHub extension that really helps with PR reviews. I've paired with devs that use CLI and it feels like they're in the stone age, especially wh

I took it as a made up projection of the number of people AGI might touch in the future of humanity, and now that I think about it maybe also other species that might get touched by it.

I think you are misunderstanding. It feels to me that he's saying AI could fill the role of the clergy in making people repent for their sins and thus absolving their souls. This would make the spiritual leader that brings about this &

KakaoTalk seems like a messaging service; LINE seems like a messaging service; WeChat seems like a messaging service. Could you link me to 2 - 3 interesting accounts on these platforms so that I can browse their thoughts?

I haven't seen a single neo-Nazi / QAnon expression since using Twitter. And I doubt Musk send a missive to amplify these things.

How about providing a top 3 of the better choices out there instead of making a generic comment? I would love to find a better choice.

Ultimately, we choose what we consume. Do I want a dumpster with pepperoni or not? I'm taking the pepperoni one. I don't get the moral highground of people without alternatives.

That's like... his opinion man. Try posting your own, see if you get banned like the Twitter of old.

> As a result: outrage, controversy, demagoguery and subsequent deleting of such impulsive and unfiltered crap is very common. 100% depends on who you follow. It says more about the follower than the platform to be honest.

My parents, and their generation, are getting so much shit shoved down their throats with the Facebook algorithms that I can't in good conscience consider it a better place than X.

I disagree. I have a pretty cool set of accounts I follow on X that give me a lot more value than gouging my eyes out with a screwdriver and / or sticking my dick into a blender.
