The title is misleading. Sending keystrokes isn't new. Both Firefox and Chrome have "keylogged" address bar tying for a long time to perform search suggestions. What's changed is that now Mozilla gets a copy too instead

HN regularly has threads full of complaints about how whiteboard interviews don't test the right things and unfairly harm a subset of people that doesn't correlate well to programming ability. It doesn't seem that implausible

For liquid assets maybe. But if total assets -- liquid and otherwise -- are insufficient to cover all liabilities, then the bank is straight up insolvent.

How would you define "clearly better than human" for a driver assist technology? Like if 'driver + automatic breaking' gets into fewer crashes than 'driver', is that a success? What if the assist is constantly

What we shouldn't do is amplify the voices of people who were never addicted in the first place. That doesn't provide hope, if anything it works to de-legitimize how challenging quitting can be

The architecture of GPUs is less exotic than people would have you believe. A given graphics card will have a couple dozen relatively slow cores (arranged in a NUMA hierarchy) each with 10 logical threads and 32 or 64-wide SIMD. The 10 logi

One of the most baffling things about HN is how commenters routinely and wildly underestimate the amount of resources it takes to build high quality software

Software is unlike mathematics in that mathematicians won't work for free.

So since we can't prevent all harm we shouldn't try to prevent any? That doesn't seem like a very compelling argument to me
