Hard to wrap my head around 10k people. Just how big is Meta? The email talks a lot about eliminating layers of management, does that mean most of the layoffs will be managers?

Anecdotally my anxiety and unhappiness started going way up around 2012/2013 because the loose social groups I was involved with were using facebook to organize, and I'm one of those people who is too literal or sarcastic or somet

I wouldn't say misinformation is caused by 'uninformed people,' it's just that people tend to click on garbage. It's a slide into tabloid-ness as media focuses on their marketing ROI.

This needs to be in an Assetto Corsa mod. If I could race around a vr NYC with traffic to weave through, I'd be so happy.

As this sort of argument always boils down to privilege, I'll throw my two cents in and say probably the biggest privilege (for a regular ass middle class person) is having a parent who knows math.

It is astonishing how so many people think that others can't read something like this and make their own judgements about it. I guess that they're worried that too many people will just accept this as True, and that will make the

Of course there are other narratives. You're limited by your creativity. Generally the one that involves the least creativity prevails. There's a huge constituency ready to jump on Musk for whatever, and here they are, because

That's true, but if you can find a place that isn't just new features all the time and you can refactor, it's so satisfying cleaning up some shit ancient c++ with clean modern c++.

Not only that but tensions are already high with China; you really want to collapse that wave function? I'm pretty OK with that not being public knowledge.

It's not a broken recommendation system, it IS the recommendation system. With respect to news, these systems are driving polarization in politics.

I've been around for a while too, and I've learned a lot from this forum. I can't tell if now I'm learning less here because I've leveled up or if there's just less tech talk. As far as hn being contrarian, th

So this game has been done and redone a million times, and is one of the first games I ever played on Bally Astrocade. I believe it was called Artillery? Does that ring a bell for anyone here? We didn't have the actual cartridge, bu

Holy smokes I feel bad for you. What happened to your curiosity (wo)man? I really can't empathize at all with comparing a library with scrolling social media. That's apathy to the max.

I remember a friend telling me about this forum called 'Digg' back in 2006 or so. 'A bunch of cool libertarians' is how he described it. I discovered reddit a couple years after that and would've described it the

The hubris of interviewing companies is just unreal. Someone can talk until they're blue in the face about the problems they've solved and things they've built, but no, I'm not going to believe any of it until I see that

I think the constraint here is that you need people to create novel objects with novel functionality in the virtual world and then sell them to have an economy. That might be tricky but if you could solve it well then, your imagination is

Just try to find how to put the opponent in check first. Make the move before even seeing the solution. That approach works pretty well until you get to the 1300 rated puzzles (around 16-19 puzzles in). Of course it's good to have so
