Why not just give a project money and let them decide how to spend?

We need Siri API . Features like this are nonsensical in an era where I can wish up any feature or workflow for an app. People outside HN will begin to expect they can do anything with a computer in the same way they expect to be able to

Forget AI. Any company in the S&P could set fire to their entire business in a pivot to Labubus. A certain amount of required scrutiny and experience derisks that possibility. Also remember pre-IPO the valuation isn't set by the br

I don't think the definition of "bad" is expanding. Rather the ability to detect and exploit "bad" is.

Taxing X% ownership means you get X%. You don't pay for it. So if the bubble pops, you still get X% ownership. To your point, it may be smarter to tax the IPO valuation and buy more later.

Your forgetting the nonsense a defense attorney will conjure. How do you know he didn't buy the car from the thief? We had a similar issue with the hit and run of my grandfather: even though video evidence found the car and later saw

I'm pretty sure Madison would have jailed you if you showed up on his lawn with an "ARSON" sign. The founders believed in private property rights as much as free speech. Property was even a requirement for voting in most stat

I mean the garbage people built without engineered components or architectures in days of yore: manual slop if you will.

I'm going to take this a step further. Software development is not engineering. Software development is more like being a construction worker that uses engineered materials. The engineers, on the other hand, develop the structural comp

You have the causality inverted. People want big tech on their resume because it makes them look qualified. People with top qualifications work at big tech because of pay. If low quality engineers worked in big tech, it wouldn't be a c

I encourage you to crack open a dependency tree for any project and ask: how many of these do I understand? Then open one and ask: do you really understand whats happening? How much of the code there do you even use? The experience will fee

"Frontend's Lost Decade" has nothing to do with a11y or semantic HTML. The original talk argues performance went to hell because of React and friends, which is why we have electron CRUD apps that consume 2GB+ RAM.

The S&P grew at ~15% annualized post GFC, and PE acquisitions of housing and essential services hasn't stopped.

A 30-year treasury offers 5% and A-grade corporate bonds offer 6.5%. You don't need to exploit essential services for the other 50bps. [0]: https://fixedincome.fidelity.com/ftgw/fi/FIYieldTable?popupM...

Interpretable models can create rules like what you see.

Isn't the point of ML that you learn these rules from the data? The right approach to me would be to use ML models to detect patterns that correspond with fraud and then evaluate them to see if any make sense. This way you might discov

Of course not, but the expected return should be positive in the long run, no? Otherwise, you might as well donate to an existing university or research lab.
