Look at all of these big names that OpenAI is attaching itself to. Buy "nobody company" from Jony Ive (using stock) This incessant need to associate themselves with highly known individuals and over the top announcements reminds m

llms are already very expensive to run on a per query basis. Now it’s being asked to run on massive codebases and attempt to fix issues. Spending massive amounts of: - energy to process these queries - wasting time of mid-level and senior e

I have my own mail server and setup a catch all alias to a single account. So I can generate -- on the fly -- e-mails for services. - Apple: me.apple@example.com - Google: me.google@example.com - Uber: me.uber@example.com - Tinder: me.tinde

"Questionable corporate consolidation" has been happening for decades. I do agree it will accelerate under this current orange administration. Anti-trust laws have been watered down so much or not applied. This is all because of p

It’s Ticketmaster and LiveNation all over again. Business owners going to get gouged. Customers going to see price of items go up as business owners pass along increased transaction costs. Yes - this will also impact you even if you don’t h

This was the same sentiment about 23andme many years ago. If regeneron cared about user privacy, then they would work to make sure consent to use of every piece of data is obtained. It should be the default to delete any data that has not r

There is no "better outcome". People who got bamboozled into paying for this junk service shouldn’t have their DNA data treated as some commodity that can be traded like a stock. The sale of this data should be treated as PII and

What ever happened to providing a good service? Why does everything have to be a "unicorn"? You greedy capitalists, and billionaires have sucked out the life of everything — tech, food, airlines. VC culture, private equity, and &q

Person just wanted to automate a few "dumb" appliances but ended up building his own system (software and hardware) to do this. I wish I had time to bike shed like this. Just learning, tinkering, and enjoying life.

the idea here is that Apple Card is owned by gs. Being delinquent with AC shouldn’t have any impact to currently leased/paid for digital assets such as Music/Movies. Good job blaming the victim. Hail corporate, I guess

This is nothing new from Apple. They do the same thing with vague ToS violations. Have moved or purchased alternates to digital assets. Nothing is held behind the Apple/Google/MS wall.

It gives marketing team at Uber to say "wE uSe AI hErE!!1". C-levels approve since anything AI gets a nice pump. Engineering wise. This adds nothing. It’s an absolute waste of compute and energy to run this through LLMs

Using AI when a static scanner like SonarQube easily picks up these types of resource leaks, especially in Java. Peak waste. What’s next? "Get rid of your GitHub dependabot alerts and replace it with my shitty ChatGPT wrapper”

I think this is a classic case of over delivering. The requirements to spin up and obtain live services (postmark, torso), is a bit much, especially for a take home assignment. Personally, If your app can’t be spun up and tested with a simp

Is there a collective repository on breakthroughs in energy generation by fusion? Sure, this team solves one "big" problem. But hints there are a plethora of other problems (or technology limitations) in this field.
