I suspect part of it is that he’d need to go and chase down permission for a bunch of the anecdotes since YC office hours have an expectation of privacy. But maybe there’s a version of this essay with a tic more detail you’d prefer?

I mean the companies advertising the hardest are often the ones who can’t hire and retain due to underpay, bad culture, etc. Unless you’re willing to spend a bunch of money on a comp benchmarking dataset, I think the best self-published one

How is killing not a specific crime? Like usually the “incontrovertible” is the hard part.

I really enjoyed this article! The author walks us through design of an ML system and typical problems in a fun and understandable way. The conclusion is pretty wrong though. > Regardless of how complicated your program’s behavior is, if

I used to work with a lot of ex-Pivotal folks. Their workflow was something like: 1. Talk through the requirements and write down some key bullets 2. Whiteboard some design options. Make sure you have at least 2 interesting ones. 3. Prototy

I like this piece, but it basically measured which app do you use more. If they wanted to really drill in, they should have had folks compare performance on new accounts. I still suspect TikTok would win? But you’d get cleaner results.

What stops me from using the first over-18 pin I can find? It only relates to age so there’s hardly any incentive to keep it secret. Are all non-citizens banned from services now? As a tourist in your country, how do I access services? Like

CA literally just passed the bill you want. That said, the problem is that sites don’t know for sure who is over and who is under 13. And more robust age proofs have lots of problems: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/06&#x

Good riddance. AMP pages loaded noticeably more slowly for me and were typically broken when they finally painted.

Yeah, the OP article is trash but the analysis has valid concerns. It seems to boil down to: There’s lots of very vague language in the bill that we’re going to need to wait for the agency to actually define in regulation. The article autho

This used to be a selling feature of cable. In the not too distant future, all of streaming will have required ads too.

It’s great to hear them admit that there is a problem. For years we’d get “our internal quality measures say we’re doing great. You’re imagining things. Fuck off to Bing and see how you like it.” I suspect they have an inventory problem, no

What do you want to build? I wanted to train ML models for Kaggle so I picked up Python (even though I disagree with pretty much all the design choices of the language lol) Considering tech outside of an application context feels weird to m

Does robots.txt not fulfill this requirement? It’s the same problem as web search. Google builds a derivative work (a mapping from queries to pages) by scraping the web with opt-out consent.

You get what you reward. Large corps reward “increase in scope”. This is hard for people on other teams to evaluate fairly, so most companies end up with “scope = number of people involved”. That’s vaguely equivalent to deploying an O(n^2)

Why are you looking for principles when most reactions are driven by emotion? Many of crypto’s loudest representatives are smug assholes. People love seeing arrogant folks taken down a peg (deservedly or no).

This doesn’t work though. I receive enough iMessage spam specifically through Apple ids that I wish I could disable the ability to message me unless you use a phone number.

Is it? You trade retrofit costs later for maintenance costs and feature development friction every day until scale is needed.

The business model, specifically, is a joke. Did they talk to anyone before launch about it?

Dumb question: could some of these attacks be mitigated (or at least made more costly) with transaction size caps? I feel like there’s a monthly drip of stories like this.
