I remember when Django first came out, and I loved using it. For old time sakes, I went back to their website and they still have the tool bar on the right side, which I use to love. Happy birthday Django!

it’s like someone saw Tor and said "but what if we removed all the safeguards?"

fwiw, I tried something similar about 5–10 years ago. I wasn’t using LLMs like the abstract here suggests, and honestly, I’m not sure how you'd act on a signal fast enough with them. When I gave it a shot, there was some slight predict

This would've been a great product 10 years ago. I've unapologetically not had to use a search engine in almost a year (or at least can count on 1 hand having to use it) since GPT models have come out.

Mexico has so many greater problems to discuss than a few people learning the ancient tongue. 2 days ago a beauty influencer was shot dead on a live stream, and female (and male) mayors have been gunned down regularly. I couldn't care

I wonder when the Perimeter Institute will begin to get more name recognition. Some of the top PhD graduates from US R5 universities (and now assistant professors) have gone through there and have done phenomenal in their career.

wow, TIL. Can't believe I've done nearly 40 circles around our sun and never knew about WSL/2.

Speaking from personal experience, many director-level and above positions at Intel, especially in growth related areas are filled through nepotism and professional connections. I've never seen a headline about Intel’s decline and thou

The only time I use search engines now is when I’m screen sharing and feel obligated not to show my five different ChatGPT tabs. I glance over the links and feign interest, "Oh, that’s great..."

It's been about 15 years since I've worked with RoR, but my favorite aspect of ruby was and will always be the library names. Shout out to factory_girl which I found out this morning was unforunately renamed to factory_bot

I've been following this news for the past couple of weeks-- in essence your statement is what they are hypothesizing, and that the "something at the center that unites the two poles" might be that we are within a black hole.

Every time I see something pertaining to a pomodoro timer, I'm reminded of interviewing with a YC founder in downtown san mateo in the early 2010s (he was working on websockets + slide deck/prezi-like tech iirc), and half our inte

I was once offered an engineering manager position at iridium (which i discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41748519 )-- that entire company is a race to reduce the bottom line. They offered me (an engineering

You know the wierd thing is - I've never used Meta AI. I've never thought of using it. The only product of FB i use is whatsapp, however I've not seen/heard any of my friends using Meta AI for FB,IG,Whatsapp. I really do

I'm not going to review the above, as I've had to much of DEI corp talk over the past decade. Given that, it’s likely no surprise that I’m glad to see it phased out. Throughout my experience, I witnessed underqualified engineers n

I married into a wealthy-ish family, and this was probably my biggest disappointment. In my anecdotal experience, wealthier individuals lack humanity for others, are quite selfish, and lie through their teeth to make things go their way. Ca

I don't normally post, however, this struck a nerve because I worked for a competitor who's routers were all either accessed through a single username/password combo or the default password. Surprised this isn't more com

Hearing about Iridium reminded me of how excited I was to take on a job managing 5 engineers for them, until they offered me a base salary of $135,000 in Phoenix. They work on incredibly cool technology—I'm bummed I had to pass it up t

yeah I'm surprised that anyone didn't see this coming. The amount of times i've heard, "this is all our customer data, perform <xyz transformation> on it," I would have about $5.

I lived in the Bay Area for about 30 years, so here's my (probably biased) opinion. The biggest issue is the lack of community, and in my experience, this is due to the high turnover of residents. From my high school graduating class o

Connecticut - I've never felt safer walking around at 3 am and I've made more friends in the last 2 months (without trying) than I probably have in the last 6 years of living in the bay area.

My ex's father was held up near his home with a knife - OPD never came after the initial call was filed.

Will they though? Crime enforcement in the bay area is a joke - from alameda county into SF. I'm so happy to have moved out and into a state with actual community engagement and accountability.
