In the past I've been told to hire specifically for the personality trait of being willing to push back hard. Though stubborn people might be difficult sometimes, I really appreciate their presence when requirements are unclear or unre

I think the role of AI in healthcare is interesting. LAION (nonprofit and creator of huge image datasets) has a Discord with a medical channel, and it's interesting to follow, even if a lot of it is over my head. I think bots could som

I have ADHD. Back when I was working in an office, I’d sometimes use noise generators with headphones to block out the office noise. It reminded me slightly of binaural beats in the way that it could put me into a different, more focused st

I've seen their sports sponsorships all over the place and often thought to myself "that's a risky sponsor - anything could happen" and here we are. Another blow to the trustworthiness of this industry

Agree. The moment you get into "Well, Mastodon is distributed networking software with different nodes, and you've got to ..." you have already lost a large percent of users. People expect to fill out a familiar registration

I'm probably in the minority here, but this is pretty much why I unsubscribed. I know I could probably find something interesting to watch, but everything interesting will cost me at least 5 hours of my time. I would rather watch 10-30

I'm just an engineer and I don't do much on the business side, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think the fact that you want to start another company soon is a perfectly good/normal reason on its own. You've foun

Hard for me to disagree with that. The reason I have an iPhone is that I was having trouble with the family group chat when my mom was in the hospital.

Yikes. I know there are points in an early-stage company where things are very unstructured and you end up in situations that you maybe wouldn't want as a larger company.. but in this case, it sounds like it would have been better for

This thread is cathartic. I've been feeling uncomfortable with the level of control being sought over the usage of these tools for a while, but didn't want to ruffle the wrong feathers while just getting into AI as a hobby. I thin

Yep, 8GB works fine. The 2070 is where I started. I wouldn't consider it ideal, though. There will be cases where you'll wish you could increase the resolution a little more, or could do just a few more per batch, but you're

Yeah. For something like this, you ideally would want a powerful GPU with 12-24gb VRAM. If you have something like an RTX 2070 at the bare minimum, you probably don't need this and could do a lot more steps a lot faster on a GPU, but i

My gut feeling is that artists will be the primary users of these tools and there will be a large market for those who are very skilled at producing, curating, tweaking, and post-processing the results. Some jobs will be lost due to clients

Userscripts are alive and well! I use Tampermonkey in conjunction with an Amazon seller extension (which I won't name because I'm not really using it as intended). The extension displays, among other things, a flag icon next to a

I really like the basic concept, but it might be a little weird being at a music festival where everyone is licking their wristbands. Are there sanitary concerns? When the main acts go on at a festival, the crowds get packed like sardines a

They played a major part in helping me quit cigarettes when my lungs were really not feeling great, and I quickly started breathing better and am now cutting down on vaping. For that reason, I think I have a slight bias toward e-cigarette m

In my current org, all developers, whether they're F/T or contractors, have a company account created for them and never get permissions on any other account. This is a good reminder on why I should adopt that practice I ever buil

I don't view it as just a job. It started as a childhood hobby and will always be a part of who I am, but as I've gotten older I've found it more important to balance it out with physical/outdoor/social activities.

I would really like to, but I've only had time when it's necessary for my full-time work. ..sort of. I'm sure I could make time if I were determined enough, but it's hard to feel good about spending 8+ hours working in f

I think the term "woke" has been hijacked by some people to refer to anything minorities do in a disparaging manner, so I would need more concrete examples of what that means.

First of all, he said they will be downranking sites associated with disinformation. I'm not going to tell anyone how to interpret that, but it's worth mentioning. Also something worth mentioning that you can take as you will: thi

It's been going downhill. There's not enough talk about its decline of original content. That's what it was known for in its earlier days. Now it's mostly recycled old memes, reposts of Tiktoks, and reposts of tweets.

For those who don't speak Spanish, año is "year", and without the accent on the "ñ", it's a body part that you can probably guess :)

I got into programming for the fun of it, and it's become easier and easier to forget that as it's become more of a job. This was a much needed reminder! No doubt this must have been a joy to build

I’ve been a f/e dev for around a decade and I don’t trust HMR. I end up refreshing manually anyway just so I know I’m not seeing issues that don’t exist due to event bindings not refreshing properly, or app state getting messed up betw

I'm with you on it. I respect his work. I actually like Javascript. I think considering him a hero is a bit of a stretch. I don't think that's unreasonable. HN is really not a fun place to express left-leaning views tbh (or a

I have come very close to taking an interview with them, but something always seemed off. The aggressive advertising campaigns, the claims of how easy they can make the process.. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
