The meeting is a joke to distract from doge it has no bearing on anything else. Totally staged.

Everyone knows this is just a publicity stunt and a distraction from Elon Doge. Zelenskyy is a puppet anyway. Thats why he is so confused. “You guys put me here wtf”

Just had an LLM write some code to Go from pdf to image to tesseract, it wasn’t even English, all local, free. It did an excellent job.

This is insane. We are wired so strangely.

I have gone through something similar where I won’t feel motivated to even pursue the interview properly because I’ve been burnt so many times already. Yes you just need one yes (ideally more for negotiating leverage) but those 1-2 offers a

My observations for the last two years: Employers are hyper hyper selective There are a lot a lot of fake job postings The bar has gone way way up It is in general very difficult and gruelling to get a job If engineering roles are hard to f

For founders it’s great. You don’t need a ton of startup capital to actually start something. Easier than ever. I think this means there will be less of a supply of goood early stage deals. And if VC can’t get in on the ground floor it beco

Can you share the playlists?

For me they provide a good jumping off point. I do find I still need to read it and tweak it. But it’s much easier than having to write the damn thing myself. I am not trying to be an engineer, I am trying to build a business and get an mvp

LLM (chatGPT) has mostly replaced 90% of Google search for me at this point. (Except browser, email, image, YouTube, google docs)

That is a valid constraint. For us we don’t really mind if it emits anything sensitive we are more concerned that it is correct.

PSA: It’s really rude when someone does a show HN to go and plug your own competitor. Let them have their moment

In ancient times Hindus had a prayer mat made of kuusha or kaasha grass. Apparently the grass descended from the hairs of the boar incarnation. So this notion of a seat in worship is indeed very ancient.

AWS is just playing copycat with msft. They rarely have any good original ideas. Other than IaaS and online retail.

Cost of inference will tend to the the same as cost of a Google search. It is infra that will come down to negligible and almost free. Then as others have said it will tend to freemium (pay to have no ads). And additional value added servic

Yes, that is the case. It is largely 4B in capex investment, I’d imagine 10% or less is cash. One would think nvidia could get much better terms investing its gpu (assuming they can get it into a working cluster). Instead it’s nvidia gets c

What are the bottlenecks that make this so slow

If they could just make a dplyr for py it would be so awesome. But sadly I don’t think the python language semantics will support such a tool. It all comes down to managing the namespace I guess

All your corporate culture, comp Structure, Interview process etc etc is all so much meta if you can’t deliver. They showed they can’t deliver. Huge let down.

Hahaha this reads very close to what actually happened

Possible but unlikely given how much demand there is and the pressure to deliver returns to shareholders, however sure it is possible. Right now search is very inefficient, the search space is massive. That is the main problem. You can have

The hard part is in the creation of new math to solve these problems not in the use of existing mathematics. So new objects (groups rings fields) etc have to be theorized, their properties understood, and then that new machinery used to cra

It was so bad. So so bad. Like don’t use your customers as guinea pigs for live streaming. So lame. They need a new head of content delivery. You can’t charge customers like that and market a massive event and your tech is worse than what w
