At least that one is small. They'd know for sure from the change in numbers pretty soon if it improved things or not. But for multi-lane ones I absolutely lose my shit and freak out when I get into one. Many decades of driving experien

I believe in the work they do. The web would be much sadder without standalone blogs and websites, they mostly power the diverse smaller outfits. Hate to see the entire world gobbled up and milked dry by some single-digit combo of youtube,

Everyone does behave this way. For any popular open-source project (e.g., Linux), the absolute vast majority does not contribute, just uses or makes money off of it. How can you shame someone into starting to contribute? There are people wh

You're probably right. I'll wait until it gets better distributed. It's just that personally, it's been hard to reconcile the grandiose talk with what's actually around me, that's all.

well the good news is all that stuff comes with an expiration date, after which we will know if this is our new destiny or yet another cloud of smoke. This is a good reminder: > Prominent AI figures were among the thousands of people who

Yours is a boring topic that has been beaten to death. The article is about a more interesting case when someone presumably previously intellectually active and living a healthy life regresses to stupid activities like that. A glimpse of wh

I think Selenium's killer use case is (aside from legacy/inertia) cross-browser and cross-language. In exchange, it comes with a ton of its own baggage, since it's an additional layer in between you and your task, with its ow

BMR changes by how much, exactly? it's useful to show some numbers, as a rule of thumb, not just throw something out there.

I do push ups every day for years now and I hate that shit with fiery passion. It doesn't make my mind think more effectively one bit, it absolutely sucks and I do it because I guess I heard enough incantations like this one. I mean, i

many tech people are making themselves redundant, so far mostly not because LLMs are putting them out of jobs, but because everyone decided to jump on the same bandwagon. When yet another AI YC startup surveys their peers about the most pre

That's a great observation. I've always wondered while biking past old apartment complexes in Mountain View being torn down: who foots the bill for the value destroyed, and who makes those decisions. If you owned one of those unit

Well even if they were in an interview setting, how often in your day-to-day are you put on blast, being critically watched and scrutinized while having to give birth to an elegant solution to some stupid random question? How often does thi

Boeing is a very strange example to give for this, because it's been under "professional management" for probably one whole century now. How does professional management suddenly decimate it today vs. say 1960, when it was al

They don't care. By that time the current leaders will flip in an IPO, make a ton of money, and then the deluge. Everyone else in the market has to follow this race to the bottom, unfortunately.

How is that a lie? It's not possible to make group chats with cross-device history end-to-end encrypted. If you don't like that feature, don't use it, stick to e2e encrypted DM's. You're saying they are lying becaus

while it's amazing for them to keep maintaining it, as the person mentioned down the thread, it's hard to know what they are actually running, right? and it's not a lot of work to patch this or clone/branch as necessary
