The text of the Third Circuit decision explicitly distinguishes between algorithms that respond to user input -- such as by surfacing content that was previously searched for, or favorited, or followed. Allowing users to filter content by t

It absolutely makes sense. What NetChoice held was that the curation aspect of algorithmic feeds makes the weighting approach equivalent to the speech of the platforms and therefore when courts evaluated challenges to government imposed r

Our system would make sense if it was the case that the literal only way to turn and asset into money was to sell it. But, because assets can instead be used as collateral for loans, asset owners (overwhelmingly the wealthy in the U.S.) get

It seems like it's a two-way street, isn't it? If American devs are more likely to say "no" and push back, then American managers/bosses on some level come to expect that behavior. I wonder what it's like at In

You don't need to be good at leetcode to make a performant and well written frontend. You don't even need to know data structures, algorithms, or Big O notation.

Yeah, this sounds more like a late-00s startup mentality than anything else. Maybe the FAANGs were this once upon a time, but nowadays they are firmly in "stable grownup job" territory.

I don't think most employers are out there looking at the timestamps on your commits to see if you really completed it within the timebox or not -- I certainly wouldn't. I don't think that candidates who spend less time or tu

In a current hiring loop my company is doing for a senior, we have a take home divided into a series of steps, with explicit instructions that say that completion of the entire exercise is not necessary to advance (and we mean it). The take

In fairness, the ratio of "just write code" to everything you listed above changes quite drastically as your seniority increases. To be sure, there will always be some senior/staff/principal engineers who sit in a room b

In my experience, it's relatively rare among software engineers. So, even if it's over-represented in the general population (which I'm skeptical of), having actual skill at that makes you leaps and bounds more effective than

Congrats on the launch. I used Refine a couple of months ago to spin up an interview exercise for a SDET position. Working with the tool was admittedly a bit bumpy due to the somewhat sparse documentation (for portions), but I was pleased w

And on the sixth day you have uncontrollable flashbacks to the days of using jquery to manage your application state as a singleton in the global scope and you die a bit inside ;).

I wonder if we've reached that point for LLMs/AI/ML yet. Sometimes it definitely seems like the discussion on HN is very influenced by the VC fad of the day.

You know, that's interesting. I tend to avoid Tailwind discussion because I feel like I don't see enough opinions from people working full time on huge projects using it. Most of the time, it seems like the strongest opinions in f

Does anyone have resources for learning some of these topics as an adult? Some of them I've never looked into, some I have but it's been a while, and I'd love to have a way to revisit them.

Litigation stops a whole lot of things in its tracks. Copyright stuff barely scratches the surface of the legal issues these things raise. Other things that are soon to come - trade secrets no longer being trade secrets because company staf

Yep. No-code/low-code tooling never really took off beyond some small use cases for a pretty simple reason that will also apply to non-engineers using GPTs: There is always a tension between having a simple-to-use tool and getting a cu

Except, as we saw with the Google article today, companies will soon get wise to the fact that feeding their product source code into a cloud-based GPT model is a great way for that source code to leak out. Sure, maybe OpenAI or Google will

Given that overruling Lochner lead to states actually being able to enact minimum wage laws I think the trade-off was worth it. To reference a separate issue currently trending on HN -- were we still living in the "freedom to contract&

Most non-competes are banned in the third largest city in North America too. Seems like with NYC on board most major employment centers will be covered.

You need to offer solutions eventually . Right now, in this VC bubble moment, it's enough to mention looking into "AI" or to change the name of your company to "[something] AI" no matter how ridiculous that somethi

Eh, there's plenty of other types of laws an industry could break in a widespread fashion that aren't fraud-related. Environmental dumping laws, antitrust laws, bribery of domestic or foreign officials to name a few.

Your framework is interesting, but it would seem to preclude much of the historical antitrust action of the past, including the pioneering actions against Ma Bell and, even earlier, ALCOA and Standard Oil. Unless you mean that the very exi

This raises an interesting use-case, though, which is the idea of a person who is working remotely or otherwise engaging virtually could rely on the 3D-model version of them, generated when they were professionally attired, to avoid having
