I would be in favor of adding a standardized [in mice] to the titles of all HN submissions about medical breakthroughs. Most of them end up being in mice and many do not reproduce in humans. It would help, at a glance, to know how significa

I don’t love location tracking but their statistics blog posts are usually pretty funny/interesting. And I’m guessing part of this is to work with specific laws. I read that in US states with draconian laws, they’re actively blocking u

What I really want from Anthropic, Gemini, and ChatGPT is for users to be able to log in with them, using their tokens. Then you can have open/free apps that don’t require the developer to track usage or burn through tons of tokens to

This is great to hear! I’ll check it out. How is it for usability (other than speed) compared to GH. Given that most/all devs are already comfortable in GH. What are the downsides in your experience?

I’ve never worked at a FAANG and have no intention to. I did work at Stripe, which in places did this pretty well. It still felt like a huge company (this was back in 2022) that had lost part of that spirit depending on org leadership. I ha

This is a really good and under appreciated point. My recommendation to mid-level, senior, and staff engineers is to keep questioning decisions and create a culture where that’s encouraged. Junior devs do that naturally (if you have the cul

Yeah I can't see a better alternative to GitHub. OSS can build truly incredible libraries and frameworks. User facing products? ehhhhh not so much. GitHub has gotten worse over the years but it's not like there's some gold st

Well it’s not martyrdom if you aren’t sacrificing and we don’t know the true outcome of Russia soon after his death. Do you think, were you to talk to Alexei now, you could convince him that his life fighting dictatorship wasn’t worth it?

Because the British didn’t have much of a choice. It would have been better for Hong Kongers if they’d kept it, but alas here we are.

And then have to enter/handle a non-date through all systems? How do you know if this non-dated person is over the age of minority? Eligible for a pension? Maybe the answer is to evenly spread the defaults over 365 days.

Horses were killed more often for meat that was used in dog food than for glue. I did a deep research into the decline of horses and it was consistent with fewer births, not mass slaughter. The US Department of Agriculture has great records

If we had less regulation of insurance companies, do you think they’d be cheaper? (I pick this example because our regulation of insurance companies has (unintuitively) incentivized them to pay more for care. So it’s an example of poor regu

My boy loves a neon gradient. To be fair, a lot of startup websites look very similar. And the number of Stripe blurples out there was a pre-LLM brand meme.

It's not only the math but access to cash. Families living paycheck-to-paycheck struggle to make long-term investments. Paying 5x for larger quantities may pay off in the long-term, but if you're struggling to make ends meet and s

Google is large enough, well-funded enough, and the opportunity is great enough to run experiments. You don't necessarily have to prove it out on large foundation models first. Can it beat out a 32b parameter model, for example?

That’s not enough volume for Apple. This is a company comfortable sitting on $100bn in cash. If they sold 1 million of those, it’s not worth it for them. Even 10 million units likely isn’t something they’re interested in, and I doubt they’d

I mean, why would they? There is no scalable market. They want to control the hardware for quality and margins. They already sell a keyboard with Touch ID included. Mac accessories are far from their focus area. They don’t because it doesn’

Interesting. I have one HomePod and four minis scattered about. I can’t remember having problems with the hardware or setup. Siri, on the other hand, is a pain in the ass.

When I was at a large company I made meetings with fellow EMs to prevent others from scheduling with us. It was the only way to get quality heads down time. All of them were titled something like “$X WG” where X was what we needed to work o
