It's actually a mix. They need to disappoint the user for the right amount of time, to then please it at the right moment and dose. This maximizes the dopamine release and increases addictiveness. When you find good content depends on

SpaceX was founded in 2002. https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=1181412 Musk & Griffin had a relationship around establishing a Mars colony even before SpaceX foundation. Musk even tried to recruit Griffin w

You only missed the part that SpaceX was founded several years prior and that Falcon 1 was developed with his own money and solely private risk. Nasa only contracted SpaceX because of that AND because SpaceX saves them billions of dollars f

If you need replication on the app level, SQLite doesn't make sense, because it's not built for networks. But... Many projects won't ever need that. A bare metal machine can give you dozens of cores handling thousands of re

You may dislike Elon, but it's pretty absurd to say that what he did is trivial.

I think he feels bad for leaving OpenAI and is now jealous of what they accomplished. He probably just wanted to cast legal doubt over OpenAI's ability to profit from closed-source models. Which he managed to accomplish. If this hurts

I think you misinterpreted OP's comment. Apple makes it sound like there's smth new, but there isn't. They don't have to innovate, but it's good practice to credit who've done what they're taking and using

Most ironic thing is they abbreviate this as "PCC". (reads chinese communist party in many languages) The absolute worst acronym for anything even remotely related to personal privacy.

I think the median HN user is a lot healthier than you suggest.

You can do that in the git push by having a separate "stable" branch and linking deployment to it.

Something tells me you felt clever posting this. If you're open to a different perspective: The underscore makes your text worse to read, IMO. Same with the MD anchor syntax. HN supports italicizing by wrapping an expression with ast

There's a Byju tag right below the news piece. If you click on it, it'll lead to a timeline providing you with more context.

I wish more news outlets would write news like this. So much value-less fluff now a days, all to improve a "time spent on page" metric, which they hope might possibly translate into more $ads.

Following that logic, wouldn't HN be a runtime for anything written, from assembly to Python? Which sounds... not quite right?

Have you read the book "It Starts With Food"? I follow it 100%, mine and my son's lives have changed for the better in unbelievable ways.

We're also seeing increasing numbers of talented engineers getting tired of the culture of bureaucracy & ideology over shipping quality, leading many to quit Google.

Always consider with seriousness the possibility of a security vulnerability when it comes to a decadent, big-co, feeling threatened and adopting a "move desperately, break things" approach to swe.

It is a summary, not an insane reduction. Summaries can have sane usefulness. I didn't find it clickbaity at all.

In that case, it's going to be even harder to prove any wrong doing by OpenAI.

I think a better characterization would be: * OpenAI wanted an AI voice that is SJ's voice * SJ declined * OpenAI got an AI voice from another person that sounds like SJ

Leetcode type challenges are just a proxy for logical habilities, which are highly desired for SWE positions. It's not meant to evaluate every ability. Despite imperfect, I don't know of a better indicator that has similar cost.

I think it's likely that they tried this. But DynamoDB is expensive to consume probably because it's expensive to run and maintain. If you develop for a particular use case, a lot of optimizations can reduce these costs. For a lar

For a long time I thought they were a cloud IDE "with steroids" to "justify", but I never bought the idea that a webapp would ever be better for professional swe. For that use case, I don't see a valuable thing in a

I bet OpenAI has 100x more customers than Gemini, and Gemini recent growth rate will not change this picture anytime soon.

Google figured it can't beat OpenAI technically, but they sure know they can beat them financially and infrastructurally.

I hope they didn't mess this one up with ideologically driven non-sense, like they did with Gemini.

If you study modern physics, you'll be surprised by how much uncertainty there is. Thankfully, uncertainty is not an obstacle for acquiring useful knowledge. Not in physics, not in cognitive science. I understand your skepticism, but y

Multiple studies have found statistical patterns that can be modeled through mathematical functions. It's not mathematical in a precision and mechanical sense, but the standard deviation of practical observations from the modeled curve
