I have not too many data points to add, but the 2nd smartest person I know joined Microsoft and left after 2 years to found a startup. The smartest person I know left the industry after doing a few years of freelance work¹ earning heaps of

I think I'll be creating a news service which filters for flagged HN posts with more than 20 votes and less than (votes / 2) comments. A good mix of really interesting mixed with click-baity news. Looking for a co-founder :)

I think you have no idea how bad, utterly bad, this world can be. How much force is behind the hate that leads people to kill babies. I don't either. But I think it gets worse by not showing the reality.

Kind of underwhelming. Superb work, but the average distance between trains is, like, at least 500 miles? This is what the opposite of public transportation looks like, unfortunately. What would that map look like if even 5% of the annual m

https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI should work on your machine. For LLM models, the smaller ones should run using llama.cpp, but I don't think you'll be happy comparing them to ChatGPT.

Laws of this kind always have a string of unintended consequences attached. Imagine if a robber, intent on making sure you can't flee with your car, douses you with a bottle of vodka.

Living in the EU, and certainly not one to avoid reading uncomfortable news, I cannot fathom how this number can be true. In France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Romania, Austria there were reports of single- to low double-digit heat deaths repor

Sounds like reality collapsed and turned into a badly scripted soap opera. Is Sam a liar? Why? Is the board corrupted? By whom? Will they all be hired by Microsoft? Will Facebook make everything fade into nothingness by publishing something

Without asking "why is the speed of light constant", you wouldn't discover the reason. The reason is that space is not just space, but space-time. There is not always as discoverable reason behind a physical phenomenon, but s

Tell me. I don't know. Some extremely easy questions will be answered with confidence, but the answers are wrong, while other, hard questions, will be answered correctly. But to tell the difference what is right or wrong, you need to r
