Coincidentally I was just listening to your interview with The Pragmatic Engineer [1] this morning. Loved hearing the stories of early days at HashiCorp, taking it public, and the near-miss with VMware. It also got me wondering how things w

If you read the transformer paper, or get any book on NLP, you will see that this is not magic incantation; it's purely the attention mechanism at work. Or you can just ask Gemini or Claude why these prompts work. But I get the impress

Dr Dobbs was pretty good until almost the end, no? If memory serves me well, I recall the magazine got thinner and more sparse towards the end, but still high signal-to-noise ratio. Quite the opposite of Ars T. Huge debt of gratitude to DDJ

It's funny how HN'ers frequently judge ideas based on complexity of implementation, not value. I still remember the reaction when Dropbox was created: " It's just file sharing; I can build my own with FTP. What value cou

Ha, I love this! In a way making the cards helps a ton to learn the content and decide what's really important to retain. On the other hand, it's such a slog that I usually end up relying on community cards, or skipping it altoget

Ha, same! On a TRS-80 Color, nonetheless. But I think I used four times, because no one else in the country had a BBS at the time (small city in Latin America). It took a couple of years until it would catch on, and by then 1200 and 2400 bp

As a VR enthusiast who discovered Supernatural early on (way before Meta acquired them), I must say this is a huge bummer. The Supernatural workouts never felt like a workout; it's more like a surreal extra-body experience, equal parts

Old thread, but I just realized this domain was registered on 2025-12-27 11:49:33 UTC. Some DNS servers (e.g. nextDNS) block recently created domains, to curb spam and malware. Also, for some reason Google Safe Browser thinks some pages on

Yep, I have the same set up. Use GL router to connect to the hotel wifi, and all devices are automatically connected, without captive portal on each one. Added bonus that I can use tailscale on the GL router to route remote traffic through

by guiambros 10mo ago
Same! And the best thing is that you can install Tailscale, so you can connect to your tailnet, and exit all traffic through one of your nodes (e.g., your home/office network). It's incredibly useful, with the added bonus that you

Some courses are widely available on YT [1], and already in the more palatable (IMO) long-form format instead of hundreds of 1-2 min snippets. Some other courses you can find download links somewhere [2]. So yeah, it's a bit of a hassl
