Not a YC startup, but jobs I've posted recently had over a thousand applicants in the first few weeks. I post multiple places, including HN. There's a huge culling process to find the 20-30 most applicable candidates, then to narr

This is cynical. There are a lot of people who do care. Consider that someone cared enough to build a bike lane in the first place. IMO life is hard for most people and as much as most would love to "care", they have to take care

That may be the case today but kids are starting to grow up with this stuff as part of their lives, and I don't think we can anticipate the reaction as both they and the models grow in tandem. I think human creativity is much deeper th

You forget that there's a human behind the prompt, stitching frames and dialogue together.

I rarely watch movies or read books twice anymore. There's too much content already. The challenge with purely human art at this point is that it will be silenced by the perpetual flood of half-assed generated work. There will be room

I've been saying for years that generated content is an impending tsunami that's going to drown out all real human voices online. The internet may become effectively unusable as a result for anything other than entertainment.

I have near-FAANG base plus bonus working as a manager/tech lead at non-FAANG in a series B tech startup focused on industrial production (keeping it vague). It is well funded by tech elites and pays more than a comparable company woul

When I was starting out a bit more than a decade ago, I was on an agile/scrum software team in a hardware company. The team was fine but I found the process painful. I ejected as soon as a new director realized he could do algebra with

If you use direnv you always know your environment is loaded (assuming you've formed the script properly and allowed direnv to run it). And that's what you want. It's a way to keep your workspaces distinct in the terminal env

I've never felt secure enough to check out like this, even when my position was effectively locked in. I always want to improve and attain something bigger, so I look for problems beyond my scope when the work isn't coming to me.

There are many books on MES and ERP which are good for an overview and structure. Then read documentation for the specific vendors you are working with. I have transitioned to this space over the last couple years, and mostly I use LLMs at

I'm not following. I've put in a total of a couple hours of maintenance over four years for the entire app stack. I think the maintenance issues and processes I use for Python would be the same as any other language. I remember my

This really depends on your environment. I've been running legacy Python servers continuously for 4+ years without breaking them or extensively modifying them because I invested in the environment and tooling around it (which I would d

Yeah, this is not a good sign for OpenAI. Or at least not for those who appreciate what OpenAI was working to become.

Bitcoiners argue that you need to count the cost of the US military in that calculation, as the force which ultimately secures the value of the US dollar. You can't carve out "printing money" as the only impact.

What's the incentive to create it without something like Bitcoin mining, which can be deployed practically anywhere with an energy source and internet connection, to balance out the costs of doing so? Even if there are better uses, if

After reconstruction, is there any way to scan for a particular condition in the model, and map it onto the 3D structure? For instance, find the broken cookie, or find a surface matching some input image.

The long-term historical baseline interest rate for any kind of debt is 6%. I tend to see it as normal too, though may go high for a while in reaction to the artificially low rate of the last decade. Home prices relative to household income
