Think roughly L7-L10 at Google, M2-D2 at Meta, 66-70 at Microsoft, etc. People that make "law partner" money but are not C-level executives mentioned in SEC filings. Decisions would be made 1-2 levels up, so they would not be repl

The author non-ironically cites Klarna's year-old announcement around their pivot to letting AI do their customer support. Unmentioned is Klarna's announcement[1] from last month, after a full year the AI-first support, where they

Not being snarky here, but what is the benefit of a chip fab in Arizona, thousands of miles from the assembly lines where the chips will be used? I get why it would be important for niche (e.g. defense) applications, but is TSMC scale reall

Notable that Ruby on Rails recently shipped its 8.0 release, which had as one of its pillars extending SQLite support to replace cache and job queue components, and to make it production-ready for common types of Web apps. https:/&#x2

It looks like they sourced tasks via a public Github repository, which is possibly part of the training dataset for the LLM. (It is not clear based on my scan whether the actual answers are also possibly in the public corpus). Does this wor

I'm convinced a lot of people who espouse this view have never worked at any large[1] private sector organization. My last stint working at a big company included seeing people routinely taking naps at work and generally behaving in th

You are correct that done deliberately, this could show the lack of need for some roles. But as it is structured, it is designed to get the best folks to leave, and from unpredictable parts of the org and thus is unlikely to show that resul

The other set of people who might take the deal are people who are concerned that the new administration will consider them "DEI hires"[1] and fire them later in the year. This is not an unreasonable fear given that the administra

Seems like a colossal error to have asked them all to quit. I wonder -- if half of the air traffic controllers took the offer to leave their jobs, do we have a Plan B? The deadline they have been given to decide is Thursday; I have not seen

I still don't see the advantage for most people to choose a broadband provider that costs more for less bandwidth and higher latency. Seems like most people would only choose Starlink if they are in an area underserved by fixed broadba

I'm old enough to remember when the US government did something very similar. For years (decades?), we banned any implementation of public-key cryptography under the guise of the technology being akin to munitions. People made shirts w

If that's the standard, then it is worth noting that we are talking about companies that are trying to do something that literally (as far as can be proven today) can't be done (build an AGI). Contacting millions of people is some

SOFI makes money. It's down a bit from the merger price, but I think it's fair to say it's a real company with a real business model.

It sounded like your app includes Lambdas as well? I assume there is another deployment pipeline for those? Thanks!

Would love to hear more about the deployment for that.

Interesting setup. Looks like getting to a zen state like this would have required them to migrate their backend from Rails to ts at some point. I can understand the engineering decision not to do that.

by runako 2y ago
If the app has a backend, aren't we still talking about modifying two distinct apps (React + backend app) vs a single one? Obviously unless the team has committed to React SSR + React backend (is this common?)

The law was rushed through before; he could ram through a law canceling the original. As with the original, no research would be required and so theoretically could be signed law by the weekend if desired.

Extend this line of argument a little further and it ends with US citizens not being able to freely access information that is published elsewhere in the world. You may not like TikTok, but this line of argumentation also would allow the go
