I get that but what does that have to do with whether devs use microtransactions or not in their games? The kids will be subjected to them whether Epic or Google takes the lion’s share.

What did this case have to do with any of that?

I find their algorithms for recommendation (song and artist “radios”) far inferior to 2000’s Pandora, so at least in that area I agree with GP that throwing 1000 times the resources at the problem doesn’t seem to be doing anything…

Well-known facts eh.

It's also plainly wrong, because "learnings" is perfectly commonplace.

I could see AI content be better if humans took part of the time saved in producing an article from scratch and re-invested it in researching and editing to make the output higher value. If the idea however is to leave the AI to write the c

I'm primarily a Python programmer, I love mypy and the general typing experience in Python (I think it's better than TypeScript - fight me), but are you seriously comparing it to something - anything - with proper types like Rust?

I do the same in Django with drf-spectacular. I have a precommit hook that autogenerates (fairly thin) TypeScript schemas and routes on commit. This is not take merit from LOB devs who want to use C# back-to-front. I will use it as an arg

What do you mean by “retail”? Because Cloudflare does plenty of products for smaller teams - I’d even say it’s a cornerstone of their strategy.

If #1 is real, he’s just the biggest weasel in tech history by repenting so swiftly and decisively… I don’t think neither the article, nor the broader facts really point to him being the first to cast the stone.

Surely the API products are the runaway products, unless you are conflating the two. I think their economics are much more promising.

You really think they'd let him anywhere near any of those two roles if he was pumping out tire fire code into production and constantly spewing erratic BS at strategy meetings the last eight years? Please.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this, GPT4 has become an indispensable coding sidekick for me. Yes it needs rigorous coaxing and nudging, and sometimes it hallucinates, but I’ve also seen it produce great things that have saved me dozens or

How much is Altman contributing to product, though? Product in its broadest sense - not only improving LLM performance and breadth but applications, or "productization": new APIs, ChatGPT, enterprise capabilities, etc.? I think Al

Started using it a few months ago. It’s a normal issue tracker feature-wise. Doesn’t seem to reinvent the wheel, functionally. Where it shines is in UX: crazy fast and snappy, great layouts, keyboard shortcuts, look and feel, etc. I’m at a

The article’s author is a professional programmer, I don’t think anyone in their right mind would ever say that that’s not a programmer. I think the comment OP just screwed up and either merely skimmed the article or confused the author wit

The article was totally written by a programmer though, what would make you say that?

I am not an Elixir user but I too am watching the type story develop with a lot of interest. Even something half-decent in the vein of Python types would do it for me.

I literally struggle to read and work with dynamic code. My head explodes when trying to hold return types or the shape of semi-complex data structures in my head, versus having it spelled out. I wouldn't call it an issue of "perc

My best programming experience ever has been in OCaml and I love the idea of Elixir, but I can't even bring myself to try it because I know I'm not going to enjoy not having types. Even something as allegedly shitty as Python&#x27

I think job market discussions are a staple of Hacker News and I like it that way. In fact, it seems the site is mostly monetized with job offers… Hackers gotta eat too.

Brilliant analogy and retort to a thesis that is profoundly uninteresting from the start. Thanks.

I code my front-ends in TypeScript and I like JS/TS but I’d rather code my backends in just about anything else than the wild west that is JS/TS in the server. It’s 2023 and there is no equivalent of Rails, Django or .Net in the J

The article mentions that this is a trade-off in trust vs privacy… An ad-backed site’s trust on not being visited by bots, vs my privacy… Doesn’t even sound like a trade-off from a user’s perspective.
