Why Google (who has their own AI stuff) or MS (who has a hand in OpenAI) and not, say, Samsung?

Not sure what your context is here, but I delete comments from time to time. It works fine as long as you get to it reasonably quickly and nobody has replied yet. From the FAQ: "What does [deleted] mean? The author deleted the post ou

Exactly my point: the same company wrote Rosetta and the new Settings. Clearly not the same level of talent and commitment in those two teams.

You need Shiny Inventions so you can divert the talent stream away from your competitors, more than to actually work on the ads. I'm sure there's some Shiny Invention Corner in the ads business -- let's call it "AI"

The hardware people certainly aren't: I think they're reveling in their newfound freedom to make the best, not just the thinnest, computers. But the software side? There seems to be a massive variance in both ability, and giving-

Oh, very interesting. Makes sense, since (mostly Japanese) text features in a lot of them. I’ll have to look for those.

You can’t, but there are a large set of built-in emoji-like inline graphics in addition to the normal emojis. Some of them quite good but the selection seems a bit random. They are privileged over keyboard emojis in that they pop up for s

Interestingly (but commercially) the very popular Line app, which IMO has the best "stickers," lets you do something like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(software) If I buy a set of stickers (little

If you can find a tamarind sauce, that’s “instant interesting” for chicken IMO. Also great with shrimp. And if you like Indian-ish flavors, a few different jars of chutney/pickle go a long way towards un-blanding that kind of food. Not

Gotcha, my bad, yeah that's probably even harder than Finnish. :-) But correspondingly more valuable if you end up learning a little!

That’s quite the generalization, and isn’t at all the typical pro-WFH attitude I see on HN. I’m pro-WFH and have WFH-d since 2009 but I’d love to go to the office more, if the office were nice and in the right place.

I’ve experienced the non-English thing in a few different contexts and while I love the diversity of languages and speak a few myself, I think not mandating an official language to be used in the office is a mistake. Your case is the obviou

Just to name one example of this, in Bangkok the BTS Skytrain[0] is expanding pretty fast, and even though it's expensive to ride it's the only way around the awful traffic if you work downtown, ergo it's packed during commut

Is there a known date before which this wasn’t the case? If you want to buy a car that doesn’t have such a device, do you need a 2010? A 2019? Country dependent?

Or...? I mean, Netflix-style hunger-games management might be their thing, and if I got in there at $900K (I did apply!) -- then sure, I'd be working nights and weekends just to shine. But even at infinite comp, above a certain size th

I'm sympathetic to this argument, because I know both low-quality and high-quality engineers at most FAANGs, but in principle isn't offering a lot of money a good way to attract talent? In the case of OpenAI you also have interest

I'm a big fan of SERIAL and BIGSERIAL, for aesthetic/cognitive reasons more than performance, but it can be really nice to have a data-generating process generate the primary ID of a piece of data, which you can then log before yo

I had a similar beginning but using all the fingers, so I have to ask: was there something wrong with those manual typewriters, or did you just find manual typewriter keys in general hard to press?

Reddit is hiring and some of the job descriptions talk specifically about international expansion, so I guess at least Reddit thinks it is or will be significant. Although I’d be shocked if good old Rocket Internet hasn’t done a Reddit clon

That is one of my favorite scenes ever, and I think of it whenever I’m in a big freeway system or tunnel. But yeah probably not easy if you’re not already fairly deep into art-house films.
