I wouldn’t say it’s that obvious simply because of how effective nerd sniping can be and how blind people are to business strategy. The moment that letter came out everyone pounced on Zuckerberg on HN over how his company’s product isn’t qu

I don’t want to do an apples to oranges comparison but that $5 value meal is good value for what it is. If I go to a restaurant and order a steak they’ll charge me a preposterous amount for some subpar meat whereas if I pay 15% more I can g

I’ve updated my comment. Context matters. In legal terms, nobody has a monopoly on what open source means and when FB goes to fight they will use it in any possible way to win that fight.

Sigh. Zuckerberg wrote this as a shot against OpenAI. It’s a volley against the competition that sets them up for the fights to come. It’s a glorified shitpost and people are criticizing it for not quite being precise about open source. It

Oh this is interesting. I wasn’t aware Value Meal was a thing but I’m glad they kept their value sandwiches always available. I have never seen them advertise the value line so I assume they’re not that profitable compared to say a QP or a

And on the other hand I’m chuffed if it means less people at the drivethrough for when an absolutely mad craving of junk food pounces. Mind you, where there is even a whiff of money to be made there will be influencers. Morals and tasteful

90s and early 2000s were cemented by works like these. By these I really mean electronica and it’s influence. It had hit mainstream. Warp was full on, having all sorts of artists and releasing their Artificial Intelligence compilation. Daru

I would assume the objective is to find an approach, or a repeatable formula that gives a good trade off between readability(visual navigability?) and visual density. More than likely it’s a search for constraints, and then determining the

I want to agree with this but it’s a surface level concern. I’m not trying to belittle the author’s point but I do want to emphasize something that isn’t talked about enough. Reification has two meanings in software development. Author uses

Not that I endorse this in general but I was personally so busy heads down with work I had no idea about any of this until it came and went. It did not affect any of our companies (directly) when it happened so it never came up on my radar.

It’s like bringing a rocket launcher to a fist fight but I’d like to use these math language models to find gaps in logic when people are making online arguments. It would be an excellent way to verify who has done their homework.

I’m at a point where I no longer call these things chips. I don’t know what they are, they have pins but to me the precision and machinery used is at the very least on a scale of atomic design. It should not be possible for automated machin

At the same time I would emphasize that people who offer any kind of advice online around life-threatening ailments do put down if they have a related degree, are currently practicing and are licensed in that or a very related field, or if

I think they (Palantir, Five Eyes, etc) already have everything on you and the face scan is just an added touch. You can opt out but then you’re just part of a much smaller subset that’s even easier to keep track of.

How vast and how many of these friends would take a bullet or sacrifice a finger if it meant you getting to keep your arm? You only know who your friends really are in these circumstances, otherwise they are tourists.

Linus would disagree and there’s a reason why the kernel keeps a 1000 ft wall up at all times. He would outright reject majority of user land code with good reason. It’s a miracle that anything outside of the kernel works and it shows very

I don’t want this to come across as too negative of a sentiment, but (…) a lot of online discussions are just people repeating opinions they heard elsewhere they agree with. AI is, in this regard, not that different. And marketing is a big

I’m convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump colluded with Russia. That sentence up there is a comment from HN during the 2016 election - based off of nothing more than hearsay and nonsensical allegations, in a thread of much the sam
