I can't decide if I'd prefer to hear a bunch of nonsense from an executive at the moment of being let go, or no explanation and just an email saying I'm part of a layoff.

For once Jason on the All In podcast had an interesting point that you could see bolt-on data sources to your ChatGPT experience where you opt-in to having NYT available to the ChatGPT retrieval step. There's no reason that a data pro

Does anyone know where these employees were employed? I’m a worker in a right-to-work state and would love it if this set a precedent for icing out employers from retribution style separations.

I know it looks silly but what was wrong with being optimistic about what would be the biggest physical discovery since the transistor? Acting like an expert when you’re not is something that I’d say happens on HN just as often as on Twitte

To a non chemist it may look like it’s going in circles. When you’re not solving a bug and writing debug statements and throwing paint at the wall it looks like you’re going in circles. Everything is going in circles until it isn’t. Be opti

I think I see your argument is economic for Uber, human-intervention for Cruise, but what is the wrong way for Tesla?

As optimistic as I am about self-driving it seems like the “9s” model of reliability isn’t the right model here because one “outage” could be someone being killed. The aftershock of the Cruise car dragging someone shows how far one accident

Write a bad headline for clicks. Fill the body with derivative writing of other news. Point and laugh at the subject you want to see taken down a notch. Personally I’d prefer a dart board with someone’s face on it than reading this drivel b

It's easy to get sucked into composing interfaces with component libraries and forget some of the many nuggets in this guide. Like I'm not sure what possesses me to use gray fonts but I completely agree they're harder to use

There is a pretty fascinating correlation here between growth rate and susceptibility to mortality from the fungal infection. Remove the toxicity of oxalic acid and suddenly growth rate reduces. Obviously there’s a ton of variables but, ove

My favorite comment: "Much of the software written in the 70s was not primitive. The 6502 ISA was designed for hand-written assembly code, fast memory (relative to the CPU clock), what they could fit on a chip, and what microprocessor

If you stop thinking about LLMs as AI, and more as an incredible tool for doing retrieval I hope one day that when you see a deeply informative post from a government site it comes standard with a chat dialog so you can quickly ask your que

Complete speculation but they don’t have to be referring, if there is anything at all, to heuristic search and dynamic programming. No LLM involvement whatsoever.
