I still can't understand how functioning adults believe that releasing their work in two separate places is a good idea (Ai Studio and Vertex AI).

I'll be honest that I read a different article on the same topic and did not know about the salary floor. So I wasn't thinking about that. I'm... mixed on that, but it does add a wrinkle to the equation. I prefer a purely com

This straight 100k to the top is not a good way to implement this. It should be a percentage (say 50%, we can talk about what the number should actually be) of the total compensation that is being paid to the H1B. We should also just comple

Damn, not even a month after getting a butterfly kiss of a slap on the wrist for abusing their monopoly position... and they are already pulling this? Thank god we have strong regulation in the US to protect us. /s

I still think it is interesting. This bubble (if you believe it) seems closer to tulips than it does to rail or real estate. People were investing in tulips with the possiblity that the market would completely crash, and tulips, without the

I do wonder what a random dip in quality causes in a long running conversation? Does the conversation recover at a later point, or does the introduction of temporary idiocy permanently affect the rest of the conversation? Statistically, pro

I mean if you have a better idea for how to assign your attention, then I am all ears. :] I'd say trust is a pretty reasonable way to assign attention. I guess the fairest way might theoretically be to require everything to be submitte

I think this is partially something I have felt myself as well. It would be interesting if these lighter web search models would highlight the distinction between information that has been seen elsehwere vs information that is novel for eac

Yeah, I only have a goal of 25 points a day, Monday through Saturday, and I still usually take more than half an hour (though usually less than an hour) per day. I actually feel that 25 points may be a bad choice as it makes me spend too mu

At the risk of being pedantic, is a "piggy bank" really the right metaphor for this? A piggy bank has actual money within it, regardless of what I think of the piggy bank, it still has money within it. While a stock's total m

I wonder if a simpler solution to all this regulartion would be something like imposing a tax (fee?) when larger companies acquire smaller companies? So something like, "For every order of magnitude difference between the acquirer and

I wonder if the reason for these results is that any data on the internet is already copied to other locations by actors who ignore crawling opt-outs. So, even if they respect all web crawling opt-outs, they are still effectively copying

I always wonder when reading about things like this, and had a fun dinner discussion about it a while ago. What would happen with the following instead? 1) Remove all tax deductions entirely. 2) Have no corporate income tax at all. 3) Tax c

That's interesting. I wonder what other industries are like that, where a single person keeps bringing his (mutually) trusted cadre of employees with them? I've heard in the past that the skill of a surgeon is actually more a refl

Out of curiosity how quickly could you log into wifi, check for whatever on the wifi, and turn off? Can you do that every 200 ms and have the wifi off most of the time? Is that what cell phones do already? Mostly just curious about minimi

Opening with "like a struck flint carried on a wind that wasn’t blowing." <chuckles> I don't know why, but that is just such a literal thing to say that it seems almost random.

Wow, at first I assumed that you were wrong and "minority owned" meant like "minority shareholder" or some economic thing, but Claude seems to agree with your interpretation. That just seems... wild. We are talking abou

Ditto, for me is that I can take the damn geekforgeeks and facebook to "lower". Raise the python official docs since that is most of the time what I want.

I love the saying "running out of childhood". Going to look for places to use that.

Seconded. It is difficult to understate how pervasive and dysfunctional promo based development is at some of these behemoths (Google from my experience, but I hear Meta is similar). Nothing else matters as long as what you are doing correc

Your experience at Google is not what I experienced at Google. Something of much smaller scale than this would require VP approval to begin work on. Disclaimer: I'm willing to believe that I just had less swing/power than you did

Pretty sure they are talking about inference in the post you are responding to. Training the model obviously needs far more compute, but running them locally is what most devs are interested in.

Note, I read it on kindle as well, and like many kindle editions sometimes the '-' character is replaced by some weird thing that isn't a dash. I had a hell of a time figuring out what was going on when I copy and pasted code

For sure, like I said, it isn't about this (your) post. Just wanted to make a small amount of noise about keeping hn aligned with the interest I associate it with. Very cute story though, commend you for observing such truths in your p

Maybe so, this is a public community and the community will decide on its own standards (as it should be). My opinions are my own. I can't exactly draw the line about what does belong on hn, but a question I sometimes ask myself is &qu

This sort of content feels good in the immediacy but ultimately lessens the quality of hn. I'm not concerned about this post specifically, but I feel that we should be more critical of things like this making it onto hn. I come to hn

It really is striking when you stop to enumerate it just how many edutainment shows were running in the 90's. Do those still exist to the same degree?

If you click on the image of "Link" (I know he is not really) in the "Interactive Viewing" section then you can see that in front of him (out of view) is a bunch of noise. I think it is interesting that it would predict

Is one expectation from moving from a 2^16 state parameter to a tristate one that the tristate one will only need to learn the number of states of the 2^16 states that were actually significant? I.E. we can prune the "extra" bits
