One of the best programming lessons I've learned was actually an attempt I made to learn something about design. Typography (which deals quite a lot with the presentation of information hierarchies) is an essential skill in making code

If you view the LLM as a computing platform that’s not so different then saying startups built on AWS are “scams”. I do think we’ll find a lot of these aren’t defensible companies (like Lensa) but sometimes you get instagram even when the v

This case isn’t going to be decided on “is using the same algorithm collusion”. It’s going to be the fact that you are contractually bound to use RealPage’s rent number or face expulsion. There is a bunch of law dating back more than 100 ye

It's the Google Home app. Hopefully they'll invest in the interface quite a bit over the coming year but it does a good job of managing all of the devices in my home right now. So this isn't a huge issue. The weird problem of

The United States has added 100 million people since 1995. The pace of building hasn't even come close to that. The best estimates I can find is that we've added about 30 million units in that same period. The answer to your quest
