For a century, Israel has been telling the world that they represented Jews, and Nakba was what the Jews wanted and it was their right. So for a century, the world hated Jews because of this narrative. And only recently people are learning

Did you mean the GPT-5 launch? They put it back in within 2 weeks, despite the side effects and bugs. It was pretty clear that it's their value proposition.

"What we have seen throughout this is not criticism. It is hate. It is often directed at Jews, not just at the Israeli government. Not 100% but a large percentage." This is exactly the blackpill. I live in a Muslim-majority countr

China has actually slowed down drastically over the past few years. They shot to middle class and are now facing middle class problems - unemployment, overpriced housing, low fertility rates, insane traffic, social welfare, etc. The trade w

They're the only ones making AI with a personality. Yeah, you don't need chocolate flavored protein shakes but if I'm taking it every day, I get sick of the vanilla flavor.

It seems like the real root of the issue is that people want jobs so they would feel valued. They may hate those jobs but it's part of their identity. Say an artist can just retire on UBI. Would they be happy drawing whatever they like

There are people who just make up stories and post them to the internet, especially on reddit, Threads. I feel like Blind is especially prone to this. It has the half-truth (verified working at so and so), it has anonymity, and people just

I like it. It's not a societal reform or anything. It's just people experimenting, like the Show HN section. There are some fun things in there and it's not as addictive as social media. Instagram does not welcome this and I

Why not just store the links in a DB somewhere? It would be cheaper than sending them off to a LLM and it would be consistent enough to send to someone, instead of being like a Giphy random thing.

Joel is my favorite essay writer. His writing has established so many norms that cargo culted to hell. It's nice to paste the original articles to a whole new generation. People know they should do coding tests in interviews, but not h

Yeah, I feel like the new generation are recorded and published to the world literally on their first breath, right up until their funeral. We had this idea that privacy violation is like pollution. But now it's like how our generation

Malaysian here. Different environment but there's some similarities in that there was no jobs when I started off, and only recently were there unicorns etc, but local funding is still dry. 1) We'll always need tech for bureaucracy

I do think you need the dream to be happy. Money/career is a prerequisite of dreams. Some want to live on the seas. They can be perfectly happy as a sailor, even if poor and single. Some want a family, educated children, respect. They

Arecibo's radar had a EIRP of up to terawatts. They were basically pinging space for asteroids etc. It feels a lot like using lasers at a helicopter kind of thing. Quiet and suddenly a sharp pulse. The cables snapped at some point. The

It took thousands of years for people to discover agriculture. Eventually they all do or they get assimilated by the ones who do. But I think this might have taken a very, very long time as well.

When I was in university, there were a whole bunch of people who "gooned" and failed exams. Most were from conservative families and were not given any internet access whatsoever. They never built the "antibodies" for th

Google owns my email, browser, phone operating system, and a small amount of passwords. I assume that it has already stolen all my confidential data by now.

An actual use case I had for vector DBs was when users were using "credit card", "kredit kad", "kad kredit", "kartu" interchangeably. If you're matching ("%card%" OR "%kad%"),

IMO it's not a world ending crisis, but definitely a city/society ending one. Countries with thousands of islands are heavily affected. Many major cities are near the ocean, so we'll see a lot of damage. Some places will be m

AI video generation at this point feels like stop motion animation. You'd think that you can get more done with less skill. But if you have a vision, it's more work to implement it. A lot of AI image/video tools seem to be ap

It can also work if there's inequality with neighboring countries. I'm not sure how it is in the US, but Canada and Mexico are both fairly wealthy countries. Countries like Brunei are right next to fairly undeveloped land. One of

In Malaysia we had this - they're often brought in from Indonesia, especially the places which are destitute. Recently Indonesia has been rising in wealth (though recent politics have fucked that up). And Malaysia has become more of a

The website doesn't have a link to any clients. Surely one would be there if you've built 75+ products. If all this is true, then it is very impressive to have built so many things by 23 without a technical cofounder! But some val

Any reason I should pick it over Supabase? https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai They have pgvector, which has practically all the benefits of postgres (ACID, etc, which may not be in many other vector DBs). If I wa

I think the only thing applicants should hide is whether they have a mental illness of some form. It's probably legally best to hide medical information anyway; it puts interviewers in a tough spot. I've never had an issue with a

I have about 12 years of exp too. I was given a lot of advice to just increase it to two pages, especially when most jobs lasted less than a year. Agreed that they have to be read in about 30s. It's important to have the major points c

I got sick of remote work by 2018. I quit freelancing, took on a full time job in hopes of just spending time with other humans. I wasn't the only one - co-working spaces just boomed and peaked in 2019 with WeWork. But after lockdown,
