From an HN comment recently: > There are three ways to make a living: > 1) Lie to people who want to be lied to, and you’ll get rich. > 2) Tell the truth to those who want the truth, and you’ll make a living. > 3) Tell the truth

They were reviewing perf designations, then pulling up PR count, then arguing against designation based on the number of PRs opened.

I had an MoM at Stripe who pushed back on perf designations based on number of PRs. I wish I were joking. (The had never been an engineer.)

Young people were… right? VS Code is open source. (Cursor is built on it!) GitHub didn’t embrace, extend, extinguish git. You can git push to a different company (e.g. Gitlab) and you’ve migrated. The biggest problems with GitHub are scalin

People would revolt if there were auctions, because it would make it impossible for many people to attend live events. Right now there is the hope that you can, even if that’s most not true. For example, I did the Amex presale for US Open t

If they stop releasing their larger models because they want to monetize, would we expect them to release better small models that can outcompete those?

Those are not GPUs available on iPhones. Will we get there eventually? Maybe! Maybe we end up with GPU clusters built on the edge (e.g. cell towers) for offloading, maybe it’s never economical, maybe a different model architecture makes it

This is good. Apps would not be respectful and end up draining users’ batteries to zero in no time.

With the rockets, it was more, “wow that seems impossible, but incredible if you can pull it off versus existing options.” With the space data centers, it’s more, “Okay yeah so let’s say you do…why?” It just seems like a really hard thing t

Yeah you can’t go into this with any expectations or later complaints. Everyone knows at this point that he’s going to do whatever the fuck he wants. If you give him money, that’s what it’s for. I say this entirely neutrally. Some people wa

But that’s the thing. In that case, the shareholders are the ones who were harmed and now they’re winning by…making their investment worth far less? What you really need are lawsuits against individuals to be held accountable, otherwise it’

It’s kind of funny that the EU’s regulation here would force Apple to allow options that are worse for user privacy. Apple is the least incentivized to farm data from its users; in fact, that’s a huge selling point. They mentioned it over a

The SEC needs to review it before approving a company to go public at all. It’s targeted at investors but they need to clear it, ask questions, demand changes, etc.

I appreciate that you dug further into it. While it’s difficult to say to what extent they were going beyond there agreement, it’s clear that they were. I’m not aware of any evidence that it was to the level of, “they’re continuing to make

It was also a bad idea then. They could never have effected regime change. That’s a fantasy that Israel included in its pressure on the US, but which US intelligence deemed highly implausible. There was never a world where this was a good i

Another interesting example is sea turtles, whose eggs are in a relatively stable environment (sand), but its temperature changes year to year. Based on the temperature of the eggs, you see a different distribution of offspring sex.

If there was anything missing from the average American’s economic wellbeing, it was the ability to create bespoke financial products to scalably make bets against informed professional traders while they sleep.

Fun fact: in the US, the Supreme Court ruled that postal workers cannot filter out mail by the owner’s request. It makes a bit of sense, since the mailer had already paid, but the main justification (iirc; it was years ago that I read the o

If anything, the amount of original and foundational research at Google is a black mark against their position now. They blew a hell of a lead. I’m willing to discount what they did almost a decade ago (“Attention is All You Need” was 2017)

Wait, no, not at all. A non-profit shouldn’t have to take the highest bidder regardless. The whole _point_ of a non-profit is to act beyond purely short-term financial gains. “Elon buying this doesn’t align with the mission” is a completely

If he kneecapped an advancement for the language intentionally, then, well, yikes! It's a tautology to say that it isn't bad because the creator said it shouldn't be there. That's not what you want to see from leadership
